Once again, a higher damage cap doesnt really mean sh1t unless the weapon stats support higher damage output. Using handcanons as an example, what if all of the new ones have a higher cap, but half the impact. That definitely will affect damage output. And Bungie has a history, so far, of reducing stats. Weapons have become relatively weaker with each expansion. All im saying is there is a reason people are still using vanilla and VoG weapons, because the newer ones have not been worthy replacements despite the higher level caps. Ascending or not, i would still be using my VoC because to me, there hasnt been a better scout introduced yet. But, if they make a better one, not just one with a higher level cap, i will gladly abandon it. Again, compelling new weapons is the key. Not change just for the sake of change.
