I should have used my components while I had the chance, oh well. Same question goes for FWG5/Scatters being better than DE-10's and much cheaper at that..

sad that these eliete hard to get weapons are being nerfed into uselessness... same problem for the NSEL.... was nice double dot waepon, now it's noting more than a pretty weapon. These loot/qeust weapons need to be top end and break the DPS cap for all others. A scythe/ de-10/ NSEL weilder should be respected for the weapon.

Let me try to put a different spin on this.

Okay. We have 300 DPS weapons at master levels. If we use really good loot, sometimes we squeeze out a little extra. If we use really good loot in these rare items and bring their DPS up to that of Enhanced Master Level weapons, have we acheived something? Heck ya! That would be a good challenge and something to be proud of. Making a DE-10 better than most HC Scatter. I guess logistiically what I'm trying to say is the law of diminishing returns is your friend now. Tissues are dropping with higher damage now. So, You can put a 200 damage tissue into an HC Scatter and get maybe another 40 damage out of it. But, using the same tissues in a DE-10 might make the DE-10 almost if not as good as the HC Scatter.

Thoughts? Am I off my rocker?

I made two Scythes just before the CURB. I wish I would have checked their post-CURB stats, but they both sold immediately after the CURB for 500k each.

Im not changing prices on looted schem weapons until the tumult of fixes is over, personally.

I put one converted on my vendor for 500k and it got sold that same day.. Still holding on to the rest of them, about 3 or 4, trying to figure out how do they stack against the post-CU ones..

Yes you are..

I used some 130+ dmg tissue, set of 4 to make 1 De-10 (yellow barrel) and one HC Scatter, the scatter was noticably better than the DE-10, and didnt cost about 1.5mil in schem+barrel to make.

hmm, I dunno...somehow hacks sold before the CU, everyone likes to get their hands on novelty items.
