The new item system, because the item system is so complicated, I feel like some weapons that used to be god like, seem to be just like... so weak... but the strong ones have such slow attack speeds...

Well, it was inevitable there was going to be a bit of a "power inflation" (Is that even a thing?) what with the level cap being increased, and the new item system being implemented and all that jazz.

I wouldn't say not all pre-Gavel items that used to be good became shit, the only pre-Gavel endgame item I can think of that actually became trash-tier is Adamantite. But look at items like Blue mask and Crystal, everyone loves them, hell, even Bob's mythics still have plenty of uses in the 75-85 area.

No, Ik that... but items like Scythe, and all that stuff are just, kinda worse than they used to sadly... I mean, yea, there is the awesome Life steal on Scythe, and I believe Ethereal has high spell damage, and the Chakram is a great weapon, and the Maelstrom is really the only one that has retained its former glory IMO... but yea, I understand the damage inflation

But when Gavel was still yet to be released I was like: "Oh my god, I can't wait to see how hard everything becomes, and how much damage you'll be able to do :ooo" but then it came out and while yea you can do 1000+ on a few items... you can only get that damage with "Super Slow" attack speed... and it just feels a bit unnatural...

Mythics

Concerning the attack speed, you could always find items with +tier attack speed, apply it to a super slow weapon like Apocalypse, and even if the spell damage is trash since certain items with tier attack speed decrease spell damage, you can always use powder specials to emulate the effect. (I didn't mention Alkatraz because that has 0 slots)

Not all weapons follow the "fast=small damage | slow= big damage" rule. Look at Cluster for example, super fast attack speed with great damage.

Hell who even needs spell damage for your primary when you have the explosion ID? I've seen builds that use the aforementioned Tier attack speed ID, and along with that, the explosion ID, and just in case you don't know, explosion mainly just boosts your melee damage and increases your melee range.
With a build like that you can do around 8K-15K damage at a super fast attack speed with every hit being an explosion.

(I might as well take this chance to shoehorn a build I made that benefits from almost all the things I just said: https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/self-indulgent-grillface-build.172022/ )
