I remember them having horrible dmg/dly. I heard they were going to patch it to make them better, but I got stuck doing TLP stuff. I haven't seen one since I have been on live, just the non visible stuff. Did they fix them so they are worth it to pick up if your a non raider?
From the January patch notes: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-january-17-2024.295544/ Memoryforged Desolation weapons have had their damage ratios adjusted.
