apprentice was the perfect opportunity to give us gear sidegrades instead of just all slave/nem all the time and yet it drops revolusios
i don't mind having a clearly defined best in slot but our gear hasn't really moved at all since ultimate released, even horizontally. the closest we've come is ice weapons being better than revolusio for most users
profound is baby profound and has no invades despite invade being a worthy sidegrade
it's just confusing. it's debatably better than your gear getting replaced every two weeks but some sidegrades that aren't strictly 100% inferior would be really nice
especially since we've lost a lot of 10~12* weapons making getting the weapon titles really difficult
i know that the options come in ep6 when everything is craftable to compete with the upper end of stuff but getting more options now keeps people around
