I find progression much more confusing now
So, i'm playing at normal difficulty and honestly i have no clue how to get more "powerful" for higher difficulty content.
Before there was gear score and if you moved up a world tier you knew you would find better gear so you could steadily improve and feel the boost in power.
Plus it gave meaning to blue and purple gear. You still found those pieces usefull as "placeholders" while waiting for the gold drop.
Now everything can drop in normal. And i don't get how am i suppose to approach it. Recalibration applies only to one stat so my understanding is that i have to aim for the perfect piece i want which has to be exactly how i want it except for one attribute i want to recalibrate.
It's cumbersome and boring. And still i honestly don't get how i am suppossed to cross finger and recalibrate for a build letting me face things on challenging that don't one shot me.
Before drops in world tier 3 had a power not obtainable in world tier 1. Now it's like everything is stuck in world tier 1 quality. Seems to me the pleasure of getting loot is almost killed now... i really don't get it.
P.S.
i don't even consider shd levelling as progression. It's worthless and boring
