Not to be that guy, but aren't the primal weapons the casual weapon? I mean, if you can't do coil 1 or 2, or gradually save for Atma/Animus/Novus, what do you really expect in terms of weaponry? Certainly, not something equivalent without any effort. No, levi ex weapons are your option atm and that's how it should be right now. 2.3 seems to be opening up this by adding tomes/sands/oils to CT, but you really cant expect to be on par with players clearing and doing content that your aren't.
