What power??? If bosses were challenging this whole power creep thing wouldn't even be an issue. Pvp wise combined arms is perfectly balanced. All weapons shine where they are supposed to. And it's not what you said. It's how you said it. Weapon ascension is the only thing that brings variety into this game. In normal games they get rid of the old stuff for better new stuff. As in the new stuff is pretty much the old stuff but better. But in this game since they have gotten rid of so many perks and perk trees we aren't getting better stuff. We are just getting stuff.
