Those weapons are not essential at all here this is a server where you are given a chimera and you upgrade it from a chimera to a tali and from a tali to an opaniel. As far as the damage goes I am shocked at the stats on those rings as well but I dont mind because I didnt have to leave anything behind to play on isen. This is about you getting a free ride on gear while the rest of us need to jump through hoops and throw money at our screens you get to sit there with your forged glacial sword and act like you are good at this game. If you dont like the direction isen is going there are other servers you can go to simple as that.
