How this game is more of a cookie-cutter when it comes to gear for most gear, and there are almost no variety in attributes like in some games. Customization was unique, but why does everyone have to use gear with same old stats?

    There was a lot more diversity in the past where many would choose TT/Lunar/OHT/FC?/Legendary gear (with some mixing and matching of pieces from either). Now with how affordable Rank gear is and how fast everypony is able to level, such gear has lost much of its significance.

    (Of course, the APS craze has also played a part in this as well, since the "High-APS build" is what many strive for to farm more effectively)

    i would liek never tho someone speak of aps liek this and in a way i am happy about the aps crazy let them spark and be bound to run run while i finded that spear dph build jumping to be so much more fun as a bm.

    to farm as a bm maybe but i think sin might be a better choice to as a farm class or a barb as its a buff class wish more of the farmer want buff from.


    barb is more old in that way its build and harder to play it different with its low range and almost non kitting skill aside from kity form.

    Nirvana, R8recast, and morai g15 weapons all have a ton of different attributes. All of the adds are random, r8r having the most random, and unique adds. There aren't any 2 weapons that are the same. As for armor, sadly, only r8r differ from the rest having 3 random adds.

    On a side note though, perfect world has a lot more armor variety and end game builds compared to a lot of the other popular games.

    i dont think he is comparing the armor itself but more the way ppl gear themself end game melee wise.

    you will 99% see ppl aim for aps so armor become simular in that they all have interval in commen.

    if they made chi non factor with always 399 chi would you see as much aps as you see today.

    or if spark was gone

    Gears and weapons are way different with the random adds they get. And even if there were hundreds of customizations, people will aim to get the better one of them (or at least the one that works the best), being in this case an aps one.

    And same goes on any game. Most of the other builds, more that experimental/wanting diversity/or that, are just people who can't afford the expensive better one. Almost all the time at least, not like it doesn't exist the other option, but if you can afford it, wouldn't you get it? or no taking it just because everybody have it?
