You are right. But try to compare Aven fame, books fame, books price, crystal cross medal, novice exp. trial medal and other things versus 500g for a driver.

It may not be fair to leave with the same attack/m-attack as an awakened weapon, because you spend time and gold to awaken. I believe that 110% is better, so people will still have the advantage of awakening a weapon.

I forget about putting it on the groound as AOE marker, you're right. But, I started to play EE in the 65 cap and it was instant cast. So I will look for another video later.

It took a long time to nerf burning metal, even when the awake bard came up. You can see it isnta cast in this video (cap 80).
