it is the nature, and one of the advantages, of using Unique Weapons. initially they tend to out damage standard weapons, but when compared to the fully upgraded versions, the standards usually come out on top.

uniques also have a significant disadvantage (in my mind) in that they (the vast majority) cannot be enchanted.
