Well, I have this beautiful 1250 dmg/104 SAC power hammer (exceptional). It's well over damage cap... by 64 ptsI 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"
If that were only true a CU wouldn't have been needed in the first place. Everything was fine before the uber exceptional & legendary weapons hit the market.

My old weapons didn't convert all that well, but I can at least take some consolation in knowing the weapon conversions were at least partially based on the weapons pre-CU stats. The med conversions were a one-size-fits-all that crushed what little optimism I had about the CU. My old 960 server best (non-Janta enhanced) buffs converted with the same post CU power enhancers as the worst buffs. And in either case, the new enhancers were so useless that it was another insult.
Sorry to bring that up here....but I haven't vented about that in over a month and it was just time.
