Does overall gear rating have any effect with new perk system?
I started playing after the marching fire expansion, so I am a little new and I am having trouble understanding this. I’ve tried searching it but I find forums from the old gear system. I understand how the perks work, but does overall gear rating have any affect on stats such as characters base defense, attack etc.? Just wondering what the goal is in having higher rated gear once I’ve activated the perks I want. I’ve heard that higher gear rating means higher level loot. True?
