This patch dropped the ball hard

Yea, I have to say SE is making me want to bang my head on the desk. In less than a week you made Alexander: Normal gear obsolete

Alexander gear is not obsolete your not going to be able to get full tome gear for a long while so the gear will still be relevant for a while still especially if you have more then 1 job and Alexander normal is so easy anyways so it shouldn't be better.
