+1 weapons are boring but useful. but should magic weapons be boring? I certainly don't think so. I certainly don't like the idea of 'generic' +1 weapons. On the other hand, weapons and armor unique and imaginative effects seem pretty wasted to when they are overshadowed by aforementioned +1 weapons. When they aren't, they tend to be part of one of those synergy items that nudge you towards a gimmicky build based around building up 'momentum' charges or somesuch.
