    WT5 gear needs a buff

    So I have yet to replace any of the higher GS items with the current 450 gear I got from WT4.

    All, if not most, wreck my current pve and pvp stats that I won’t even equip them.

    Anyone else experiment this, maybe the rolls I’m getting on higher GS pieces is just crap.

    Its because point allocation for gear seems to have been unchanged from WT4 to WT5, so outside of increased base armor GS500+ pieces have the same if not lower min and max rolls for their attributes making them arguably worse.

    The biggest issue right now is that we are no longer finding MAX GS drops that we need to sort through but we are getting HORRIBLY low GS dropping even at max GS.
    This makes finding those gems SUPER rare and I'll argue makes the game incredibly mundane and boring when it comes to build building. Also with no real in game way to see min/max stat rolls we have no clue what the gear is actually doing or how it is coded into the game. I will say I had over 750 skill power on my 450 holster AFTER the patch almost 2k before patch and i have not found ANYTHING even close to 700 skill power on ANY of my 500 GS holsters.
    i think some clarification on this is MUCH needed IN GAME.
    I had two gear pieces with 700+ skill power. In total, I managed to get 3,100+ skill power even though highest skill mod requirement is 2,900.

    I agree, the stat rolls are almost equal or worse.

    The gear is definetly not scalling at the rate the power of the NPCs are, so it only weapon damage stat roll and armor stat roll are the only thing that increased, not the bonus that come with them to counter the issues
