Age-old discussion. But one that comes up each of the past several expansions: The Four TBL Evolving Gear Are Dead!
Except I'm an old fuddy-duddy who hates change and knows the comparisons are more complex than this.
Extremely brief and possibly flawed analysis. But tldr for me is that if you have enough Type 18/19's, the items are still better than modern gear *except for a few of the focii*. And I only have the Group version, not Raid - so things would be even better there.
The Focus thing can be huge, so I'm not discounting. But still intrigued the difference achievable.
The following is for an SK, score using my weightings that factor ac, hp, hStr, hAgi, hDex, hSta, SD and HA.
They use the (approx) 7th-9th best Type 18/19's I have, assuming the previous 6 would be on evolving Ear and NoS Cloak.
So this is just per-item. To have all 4, you'd use the 7th-18th best Type 18/19's
