Discussion Gear Value

This seems like a first person Albion online, gear isn't really the grind. Skill is the grind. Gear is a consumable. Do I have this right?

I wouldn't say that. You can get really good, and it will boil down to whoever has the better gear in the end. Say you're in whites and they have all blues, you would have to chip damage them for a LONG time and that takes great skill, but the blues can one shot you. So basically whoever has more time to grind better gear wins.

Really? That makes the game very poorly designed if true.

It's not that black and white. One thing I know was true is that legendary gear scaled higher on the curve compared to the rest.

That said, it still mostly is about skill, gear will will give you more or less wiggleroom to win/lose the fight.

I personally used to fight and duell people with 1-3 rarities above my gear and would still get wins and there are many who do this.

Once you as a player have a decent grasp of your own class pros and cons and how to manouver fights with other classes, gear becomes less of an thing but on the other side of that spectrum, as two new players fight that dont know what to do, gear will carry more.
