Gating new weapons behind savage

[DevilsDontFly]

The new trend is raid savage or don't get a weapon upgrade? During the last expansion everyone could get the new weapon just not the upgrade toke. I feel ripped off.

You mean at the end of the expansion where you had to grind the relic weapon or do savage in order to have something at 270+?
This is the very beginning of the new expansion, which is exactly the same way Heavensward was on the first months.

Soon we'll be able to get the weapon with the 7 Omega tokens, on top of the first steps of the relic weapon.
Until then, if you want a better weapon all you have to do is Savage, like every other time new raid tiers were introduced.
It was exactly the same with all the 135 (if memory doesnt fail me) Coil weapons.
