And its going to continue to grow as time progresses. Since its roughly the same as a crafted item by creation, albeit longer process and not trade able, its lumped into the category of "Crafted gear will not better end game dungeon gear.

Zodiac weapons will always be inferior even to the point that they stop updating them but continue to update content. You have to get the Atma Stones for the Zenith so the Zenith's upgrade process is to get the stones. The Atma's upgrade process is to use the books which make it stronger than the Zenith. When the 2.25 update comes out, they'll be able to be further developed. In 2.3 we'll get to progress even further with them, though they'll always be less than that current patch's Dungeon and Token gear.


If you look at it in any other way that an in between state you are looking at the item incorrectly. Its not supposed to be an end all weapon. It most likely never will be an end all weapon. Its completely optional.
