So... Relic weapons stuck at lv 115 and new lv120 weapons are coming?

[Lillia]

@ OP; It's been like this for a while, since before 2.2 actually considering First Coil Allagan wep Ilvl got buffed. Relic and now Tome wep is a weapon that players who don't raid can obtain so that they aren't too left behind from current content. Raiders will always and have always had the BiS ilvl wep, not really anything new. :/

Edit: It'll be upgraded slowly before the next Raid wep upgrade, the last part to Crystal Tower; The World of Darkness or The Void will probably yield things to unweather our stuff slowly again as well.

Part of the progression. I am sorry that you would/will have to wait a lil while to get upgrades to your weapon. A but of humble pie maybe? Just think how all those that are currently struggling to get their relic upgraded are feeling against those that are complete. So many threads about Relic upgrades and how they sukk and folks coming to tell them to stop whining and complaining about it..

Well....

I am pretty sure that is wrong. IIRC animus came out slightly later because by that time I already had my tomestone from T7. I was the 2nd person, in my static, to get it too.

Click on This and scroll down a little. That's 2.2 patch notes. Ilvl 100 Animus
2.28 ilvl110 Novus
Also here is the link to all of the patch notes, nicely organized. It's great for going back and reviewing things. I know there's always things I forget about cause there is just so much, and I go here to check things from time to time. All Patches

Also I can't find a source for the preliminary notes. Because for w/e reason SE edited their original entry for the preliminary notes with just a link to the full notes. But if you google preliminary notes for 2.2, people will mention the big bullet points of the patch, and no one mentioned anything about the new relic quest. So it doesn't seem all that out of the ordinary that there is no mention of relic on these notes so far. It would be odd to get another upgrade so soon.

3 weeks until you see the first i120 weapons with probably a handful of i130s from the top progression raid groups.

That means nexus will have been BiS for nearly 8 weeks.

In 6 weeks we will have 2.4x
And another trial. SE is doing it right.

People QQ too much because of ilvl and forget about the status. Doesn't matter if you can get an ilvl 135 weapon if the relic is BiS for you.

[Hybris-Maenad]

Perfectly happy with Nexus atm, seems to me that 4 DPS with i115 weapons and marginal gains to their dps via tome gear will have an easier time downing whatever turn holds the next UAT equivalent and getting more of them to our party earlier than losing a week or twos worth of them trying to down the next t8 equivalent in 2.3 gear.

Highest ilvl = best in slot. Secondary stats are very very weak overall, they cannot make up for a difference of 5 or more ilvls. With those ilvls your weapon damage goes up and for a DPS that is by far the most important stat.

New Relic Phase will VERY likely come in 2.45 not long after some of the people who're raiding FCOB have received their new Tome Weapons (i120-130), provided these people have barely spent any of their accumulated Poetics Tomes.

So calm down.

You are grossly underestimating the impact of the weapon damage higher ilvl comes with.

I'm fine with it. In fact, I hope there is not a new relic quest tomorrow. I just finished my WHM Nexus and have about 29 more melds for my SCH Novus. Then, I have to start the Nexus grind all over again.
