They were nerfed for the fact that they were so good that there was little reason to use anything else. FROM isn't in the habit of nerfing for PvE reasons unless something is completly game breakingly strong.

The Masks were especially strong, giving extreme bonuses for little weight, especially when stacked. Fire, Chaos and Lightning weapon builds were extremly strong, even against +15 weapons with buffs, because you could just pump point after point into Vitality and Endurance to become near-invincible with little skill involved.

The DWGR was just plain broken, because it conserved equip weight much better than even Havel's Ring did. Ninja flipping in practically any armor combo with high endurance makes low weight builds with under 25% useless, because the Ninja Flip is superior, while the movement speed difference is neglible.
