"would i use it before the patch" yes. in fact most of my chars are in crafted gear and out preform non crafted chars. and those "old godlies" max dmg on a 1h before today was roundabouts 2.67k lol, the flat dmg on this alone is higher. the only thing you can possibly miss out on is +% elemental, which now that weapons are beefed up, becomes not quite as important.
I mean would you have used a non ancient one before the patch? No, so it's still not useful. The old non ancient items, once ancient, will be better choice.
Sunkeeper, or ele damage weps for example.
