Wait, wait, so you're saying that if everything else is kept constant except for rank difference, that it doesn't mean that "rank is the determining factor"????

Yes it does.


Gaining a rank is so much more significant to your dmg and accuracy and defense than getting new gear or gaining physical levels. It marginalizes gear way too much.
