The grind for materials as it is just isn't a fun type of grind, especially when you need to update multiple copies of the three classes each time you make it to new gear they need. - There isn't much interesting build diversity. Essentially it's more about min-maxing certain values with shards and beads or picking certain sets and adapting to the newest gear since defense matters a fair bit, even if you preferred a different s…
