no its bad ass they made uo more of a item based game now. basicly if you have arties you win. The Hat of The Magi was selling for around $500 when they came out with the artis it still fetches around 250, mages seem to like it. and yes the 50% damage increase is better then vanq shit GM smiths can make 35% damage increase gm weapons now which is better then the 26% vanq damage increase. The dread lord weapon you posted sucks though its slow and the special moves are lame, each weapon has two special moves now.
