So long story short - leveled up RDM, and treated myself to a 350 crafted weapon.
When I hit 70, I equipped it.
When I received my 290 rewards, recommended gear keeps telling me the 290 is better than the 350.

I just want to make sure the 350 is better.

The one I got is not the one with the extra white icon on it. (Kind of new to the game honestly).

Thanks.
