Novus Vs the Un-Weathered Weapons...what gives?

[Hyrist]

I've compared Weathered Conqueror and HA Great Axe while keeping the rest of my gear the same using this calculator : http://valk.dancing-mad.com/calculat...ut-calculator/
The difference between the two, DPS wise, is 6%

Would you skip high-allagan weapon ?

Same point applies.

By the time most people get an High-Allegan weapon, a superior weapon that is easier to get will show up. So yes, they would skip it.

The Relic/Zodiac weapon path is mainly for those who want customized stats and a weapon they'd like to keep for the long haul.
