No idea about the Rag nerfs, though.

And there totally isn't a better use for whatever currency that shop uses? Because usually, there is. Which pointlessly slows down newer players, when they should be speeding up instead.

Angel weapons need their FLB too. The difference is:
1. Demon weapons are dual-skill, which inherently way more powerful than single-skill weapons. Like for Advent weapons, would you rather get 8% more Assault, or 5% more Assault and 15% more HP?
2. There are two good Demon weapons, and one out of the two is an Exceed weapon. While you don't need much Exceeds, you do need one or two (if you own a P2W Eidolon). Angel weapons? There's one Assault weapon, and one total fucking garbage one.

None whatsoever, since you always use Soul Weapons anyway.
