Why Buy A Weapon?

[Poison elf]

I stated this recently somewhere, but a while back I ran stats and found the upgrades basically work as a downgrade to gaining rep.

I have got the triple pistol, since it isn't increased in damage. Other than that the rest are for after finishing mastering the character.

Only thing I can see useful in these weapons is if you want that increased lower skill damage for pvp, before finishing out the character.

For me I stay away from these and increasing the damage to skills used to gain rep.
