Weaponsmith Gear Nerfed?

[SageGaspar]

My two copper Sentry Daggers are doing less than half the DPS they were doing last night and now have a recommended level of six. Is anyone else experiencing that?

Yes, all crafted weapons seem to have been hit pretty hard with the nerfhammer™

Brute's Dagger went from 11.11dps 11dex lvl 19 to 8.89dps 10dex lvl 16. Thats 20%, I feel sad for the people that bought a bunch from me before the nerf.

It actually seemed like a reasonable change if you gauge the crafted grade A copper weapons against the vendor weapons. Still, I wish they would have published such a drastic decrease in the patch notes.

Crafted weapons should be higher damage than vendor weapons, or there won't be a market, that being said, the damage was pretty high.

I agree completely with both comments. A grade A copper longsword of ... was 8.xx DPS. You'd have to pay lots of silver to get that kind of DPS from a vendor weapon. (If I remember correctly, the vendor longsword that was more than 10s was still substantially lower in DPS.)

I noticed a similar hit in the Armor I made up. Stats/bonuses/AC dropped by about the same, 20%.
