Asherons Call: QotD - What Do You Think of the New Upgraded Boss Monster Reward

It's been a couple of weeks now and even if you haven't found one you've seen them. It's nice to HAVE a TW and Dagger Boss Monster weapon - the Fetid Dirk is just cool. Ane quite well drawn!

And I was lucky enough to receive a new Diamond Shield from my patron.

But do you like the upgrades? Do you like no diff/wield reqs?

*I* find the new items infinately more useable (my old diamond shield had been replaced by Gaerlan's a while back)

Thoughts?
