you could buff the ever loving kitten out of rev's condi weapons and still wouldnt classify as power creep, because the base is so jawbreakingly low that even enormous buffs would still barely bump them to the average

Some players used to think the same about mesmer's scepter, then over time they got:

• Torment on auto-attack
• Faster auto-attack with hitscan on third attack
• Two clones summoned on #2 skill's counter-attack
• Evade while using the counter-attack
• Faster #3 skill with extra stack of confusion

They didnt get all that in one patch, tho. And anyway that example isnt exactly good, mesmer scepter is far from power creeped, its arguably on par with axe, and thats after several rounds of axe nerfs, or staff. So ANet can actually balance weapons when they feel like doing their jobs properly, shocking...

You must have a really high standard for something to be considered power creep then.
