Alright, I feel the need to ask this question because it's been bugging me. Why are people even going for the shaft/spring?

And another reason apart from those already mentioned is that the Lore top/pants don't always have the best secondary stats. For example, as a scholar I try to maximize my crit rate. And both the pants and the boots from Midas have crit rate, whereas the Lore pants/boots don't. So I'm going for the Midas version for those.
(Same with tank gear, I try to go for as few pieces as possible with Parry, since I most often go as OT in my static, so... I don't get to parry all that often anyway.)
