Noblity Powerup?

[Corporal]

Plus, you brought lowers into it before I did.

I brought them in to compare the balancing between new and old gears. You were the one who began to compare them to mids, but whatever. Continuing on~

And Hp/Sp only works out well if you have a ton of it due to it being % based

You're wrong.

And if they're balancing gears out with each other, why not tweak nobility so it can actually compete with the other gears?

That's like saying "oh man, I can't believe I slotted my alice card in a buckler. Now there's stone bucklers and valk shields out! I want a card remover so I can put that card into a better shield now." New gears will always continually raise the bar, and it's up to the players whether they want to keep up with strongest items or not. The new mid gears still don't offer some of the things that nobility does, which is why nobility still holds its ground, whether ranked or not.
