I actually made a similar post to this! I’m just going to shamelessly link it here.
I do wish to add that I think evolving past the “Increased damage by X%” is great. Every item can become essentially a mini-legendary that you’d find in other ARPGs. This game is more slow-paced and isn’t about having so many skills up at once, the moment-to-moment is more emphasized here so the gear should reflect it.
