Why is a level 35 item better than a Primal's loot?

[Xianghua]

I think spellcasters were generally boned from the start of this game, not only do we have only 2 DoM, but also our entire wardrobe seems to be comprised of only bath robes and settler jackets in different colors, while DoW get chainmail, platemail, leather, salets, celatas, barbuts, etc.... this is really just one more insult on top of many other insults that DoMs have suffered, at this point why even bother bringing it up? we'll always be a second rate class with second rate gear and a second rate image, this is just the way SE perceives mages in this game.

I'm not real sure what point you are attempting to get to. Every game is pretty much like this.
it's just different materials. Mages/wizards have always worn robes and for most part always will.
