Ok fine, I have one plain question, we know that the 'new' BC won't be out for god knows how long, so why not just leave the stats as they are for now? Whaat is the point in 'tweaking' them every 2 months? Please explain this cause all I see is people constantly getting shafted and losing SP as good weapons get downgraded majorly (Legendaries months back) then reupgraded to be better then before.

The latest revamp was never planned back then, and I was kinda working with what I had. Weapons were out of whack. Everything either did too much or too little. Now, with defense all over the place, weapons stand a chance at being "too strong" on paper, but not in actuality. The past few months, I've just been trying to keep up with the defenses for the most part. Many weapons are hitting harder in the higher ranges. The upgrades of the legendaries should keep up with that, and with those, I'm satisfied. However, the "god" weapons have been something I planned on tweaking as far as equipping with another healer. Basically it adds another pool of weapons that could fit on a battle set. While the heal (with 2 "god" weapons) may be nice, the icons they don't block would leave a huge hole. Will there power be increased even further to make up for having 1 of them on a set? I will not say, yet. I am waiting for more input to have a say on what should be done. As I said before, I'm open to all suggestions.
My one and only suggestion is if your going to downgrade something, or upgrade something, leave it as is, don't mess with it a few months later again, and explain why it was changed, not a BS balance explanation either, cause frankly that is what upsets a good portion of us, going back to the legendaries example, think how a user would feel to have a staple of their set suddenly turn less the useful, so they sell it for 1/3 what they paid, then 2 or 3 months later it gets reupgraded to even better then before. That is i mean by shafted.

Change is inevitable in competition... it's as simple as that. Right before I found out I could equip both my P-wand and my B-staff I was bunkering down to get a Malice, because it was clearly outhitting and outblocking my two second constants. I wasn't upset though because this isn't the first time in my four years I've had to upgrade my battle set because of new innovation or change...
This change, albeit hard for people to see just yet because of the anger of having their sets change beneath them... is a GOOD THING. You can equip two malice now, P-quill and Reviver... you wont even NEED a healer constant, MCAB, or god weapon in that set. I mean this is something the battlers from way back have been wanting to see for a long, long time... a viable set that doesn't include a constant healer all the time.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
The legendaries were never meant to be the most powerful weapons, nor were they ever meant to be staples in sets. Useful, yes, but not to the point where they are overpowering everything else with their chances to do up to 80 icons. Therefore, they were downgraded. 80 icons was quite ridiculous even if the min damage was 2 icons. People didn't like the downgrade because they couldn't do up to 80 damage anymore. Then when they were upgraded again, people were satisfied. Not to mention they all got defense they were looking for along with some newer abilities. They STILL are not staples in sets, situational, yes, but not staples. Nothing is going to be a staple in a set...nothing is THAT overpowering because of that reason.
I'm with melaka...I just save the weapons I come across because even if it's bad now, it might be good sometime. Change after change, it's just kind of...it happens. Feel cheated sometimes, feel happy other times, kind of ends up in "whatever, what's next"
I don't have any idea what half my weapons do anymore, I really depend on updates here.
The double malice smack right now with the super-abundance of them...hoping that doesn't become sort of a pivot point around which to adjust the rest of the BC...because while I definitely want a malice, I don't want to feel it's necessary to have malices or to need one in a set.
