How to Get the Best Weapon and Armor

[HyoMinPark]

Id like to ask what do you do with the best weapons?

Well, for this particular tier, the gear will last until level 85-ish when Endwalker releases. Otherwise, the best weapons and best gear are used for speed killing, parse runs, and Ultimate fights (if one releases within the same tier).

They aren't really needed for anything (unless an Ultimate releases, which it doesn't always), they are mainly to boast that you beat this content and therefore can do more damage and healing than those who haven't.

It's nice to jump into expert roulettes, max level trials and alliance raids and show how much quicker you can destroy that content now that you have this better gear that most of the others don't have.

Farm extremes more quickly for mounts and mount achievements.

You see we didnt have ultimate until 4.1 I think and when I did have top tier crap i barley noticed in farms and why would i do expert if i have the best gear? Also glam is incredibly subjective. Alot of MMos fall into this pointless endeavor for raiding or trialing as i call it in ff14 of nothing to do with the best gear it would be nice to have somthing more for hardcore ppl

Adding on to the expert thing its benign dungeons are hardly any measure of victory. Raid gear no raid gear wont magically make any instance better as the lack of depth

Speaking for myself, I still do Expert to get tomestones to buy gear for alt classes so that I can give them a bit of a headstart in the next expansion. I typically get whatever gear until near the end of an expansion, then I start loading up on the top stuff I can for whatever class I don't really play. Only my main tank, healer, and DPS, get to keep having gear updated as the patches drop.

I definitely notice the difference with gear especially with stuff like Titan e4s killing it around the second set of tumults ,while yes Expert dungeon are easy shaving off 5 minutes when everyone is competent and geared makes a huge difference,Glam is subjective yes but so is your "pointless endeavor".

Also you don't even raid..

On the contrary, they actually do. It’s called Troll (Savage).

I feel like its worth mentioning that you can simply not do savage or extreme trials and miss nothing. There is no more story added to them and there is no other content in which the gear you gain will be necessary or even give you a distinct advantage. The gear will help you with further savage or extreme clears, but other content is quite easily done with just tome gear and the relic weapons of the current expansion.
