It can be exceptional based on any single stat breaking a certain point. ie you could have a very crappy rifle that has very low hams and be an "exceptional" weapon because hams broke past the cut-off point for "exceptional" weapons. It is entirely possible to have a totally useless and crappy exceptional weapon. Very rarely are legendary weapons useless though. I think they have to have at least 2 stats that pass this cap in order to be legendary and it's normally a much higher cap to begin with(also have noticed that at least one of these caps tends to be damage). Hope this info helps.

yeah i know i looted an exceptional power hammer once that was crap. The speed was low like 2.0 and the HAM cost was almost nothing, but the damage was like 89-200. I was not a happy camper.

Are exceptional weapons going to be re-adjusted in the future? I know there are several weapons out there above cap...

I have about 10 exceptional weapons and non of them converted good. I know there are some but i don't think they are so high above the cap.

Dev said a little hwile ago they were writing code to verify damage, speed, accuracy etc on all weapons at some point - so anything out of caps would be adjusted.
When that will be.... who knows

I don't think it would matter much. Most of the exceptional ones I've seen converted with the horrid SAC, so they're almost unuseable anyways.

Well, I have this beautiful 1250 dmg/104 SAC power hammer (exceptional). It's well over damage cap... by 64 pts 
I would hate to see it turned to crap on me. I could live with 1184 dmg and a reduction in SAC as well, but I'm hoping it does not get knocked down to something less than amazing since it is an "exceptional" item.

SOE don't like things to be exceptional in this game... it ruins "balance"

nice, at least you got lucky on the conversion, my exceptional has 1066 dmg / 104 SAC now
it's just hanging on the wall nowdays as a reminder of what the CU has brought upon us...
