@BarrelHunter said in I love this game but I will never be as good as you at it.:
@Milranduil There is no such thing as a general "Best in slot" in PSO2. A weapon that is Generally good can be objectively bad for certain classes. A fantastic example of this is Nemesis/Raven Jetboots versus Homura, Guren, or Xien, Jetboots for a bouncer using element stance. The Oath potentials, and SAF Phase Weak increase your overall damage by 7%-13% by simply attacking an enemies elemental weakness, and as a bouncer, changing your element is as easy as charging a tech. If that doesn't sound like a lot, it should, as roughly only 3% of your overall damage quote comes from your affixes if you spend time tuning your gear with damage modifiers.
Sorry weapon sellers. 
There are infact BiS weapons in PSO2, just not for all classes, and its not a permanent thing.
Easy Example in JP right now is Serpen Plenzer for Bouncer. It's a seasonal weapon that has been out for what a year now? A Year and a half? And despite stronger JBs coming along, they still all lose out to Serpen due to damage cap making Serpen's speed up and range of Vinto(Jetsweep Kick) effectively higher DPS than even the latest weapons.
Luckily ya'll dont have to deal with that nonsense right now, but it's coming lol.
