What changed

  • 11.7

    Damage: 31 → 33.7

    Damage: 25.8 → 28

    Damage at level 10, rank 5: 62.1 → 67.4

    Why: Mythic weapons start 15% above their Legendary twins and gain 16% a rank of awakening (other weapons 10%). A fully awakened Mythic hits 35% harder than its Legendary twin. Rarities now climb in even steps (Rare x1.35, Epic x1.82, Legendary x2.46 over a Common). Nothing you own lost power in the change.
