Soo... apparently Diadem has i280 weapons with higher WD than alexandrian/anima lux

[Watachy]

I'm going to propose an alternate theory here, they put in the 280 weapons because they realized this was the only way to get people in to the new diadem.

Then put a glamour/mount that most people will go for.

Not a f**** BIS weapon to make all raiders investment useless

People asked for horizontal progression.

Well there ya go.

You don't even know what "horizontal" means.

This weapon is vertical btw.

I mean, it's fate grinding. In an instance. This is probably the case sadly

They do that for every trash content they add in and nobody care about. They could just stop wasting time on those crap which will die again at some point and that the only purpose is to reward casual who achieved nothing more than raiders. That would give them more ressources to get 5 to 6 raid boss per 2 patch.

What was wrong with admitting diadem was a mistake and moving on?

Why would SE do this? ;________;

Someone just linked it the WHM weapon on reddit.

370 secondaries compared to 284 on the relic ...

Your accomplishments feel like nothing unless you have some item that others don't? Do you not remember what you've achieved? No-one can take that away from you, whatever items are added to the game.

The accomplishments feel like nothing because the usablity of the items has become meaningless. The raid weapon particularly now becomes a glorified glamour if you get a diadem weapon with good stats.

Edit: nevermind, even with the anima stat modification, relevant diadem gear seems to be BiS across the board.

[cakesphere]

There is also a picture of a ring with absolutely insane stats too. Unsure if it's BIS or close to it, I'd have to math it out but this is OG diadem all over again and it's awful

Makes me want to go get BIS in WoW instead (LOL TITANFORGED), the level of RNG is getting close to equivalent now

[Newmanxeno]

The official forums being dramatic again, what's new?

I love it. I love it so much.

Hey, I never said it was a good idea. But I'm fairly confident in my theory being correct.

Slightly off topic, how are the JP forums reacting to this? Anyone know?
