Editing Weapon Skills Update 2012/FAQ (section)

==Are my max weapons still going to be max?==

No.

That was never said.

We said that weapons would convert over to the new ranges but we had also talked about no weapons getting the new maxes automatically.

Melee weapons have gotten a slight increase in damage overall. Weapons will convert over to the new ranges but current maxes will be 1 or 2 points below new max.

All melee classes will be doing more damage than they were before when February hits without finding any new weapons. If players want the new absolute max they will need to find them.

Spells (not including Void DoTs, Hecatombs, Tusker Fists) also received a 5% increase in damage.

Missile Weapons did not receive a damage boost due to 1)Being above the damage curve already due to alt currency damage numbers becoming the norm through new crafting/prismatics and 2) Bow becoming 2 points cheaper while still doing the same damage.
