Atma itself did not really help anything before it was animus. Zenith lvl 90 relic was pretty big advanage back in days in first coil, maybe they did not wanted that be the case in current content.
They could have easily released 170 at the get go, and ilvl 200 with or soon after eso, how long ago was.eso released? Well I have four weapons and about two full sets. There was way to long in between to justify waiting this long.
