Who cares about those stoopid fancy schmancy Hakkon weapons! They are probably not really that good anyways.
You are quite right in this.
Like dagger is nice. On everything else there are many problems.
2h sword upgrades sucks for HoK, because of it I will stay with dragon maul on my Avvar and use hakkon on reaver and katari.
1h sword is fancy for lego but on templar? Depends on if I could wombo jombo on NM with it. If not than I would prefer this new explosive axe.
Bow? - new bow, heartstring of whatever is great, got everything needed really. This hakkon "griffon" better version lacks HoK, lacks HoT. Maybe for hunter, maybe for damagefocused archer who don't care about defense. Maybe. You still won't get 16k damage longshot to 1 shot on NM either way.
Staff?- just fancy, mana reduction is not that bad, upgrades are welcome. Most mages aren't even deal that damage but autoattacks looks nicer.
