I think the reason why Moontide was released as a fusable epic has nothing to do with the fact that a better epic was released around the same time (though the timing is arguable). I think it is because Moontide seem to be an epic in name only (the prototype for its class). The plus version of most boss armors recently are only about 200 points behind the normal Moontide, which costs a fortune more to level to 99 rather then to 70 like the epic boss. With the steady increase in strength of the boss armors, I predict normal moontide will be obsolete in about two months or so.
