В процессе Upgraded Claw of Beliar with Senyak's soul vs. various free endgame weapons

[Smerfny Jerz]

Upgrading Beliar's Claw with Senyak's soul requires a massive amount of karma and the sacrifice of several learning points—the very same ones you would have gained by defeating the boss, Senyak's soul. I wonder why—despite such a huge investment in upgrading Beliar's Claw—one can still find better weapons that deal more damage for free. Given the cost of the upgrade, shouldn't Beliar's Claw with Senyak's soul be the best weapon in the entire game?
