Ok, so its been a long timex since I actively played, I just got back in a few weeks ago and was continueing on with my BRD, in all honestly, until close to endgame does gear matter outside of what drops from MSQ or Duty Finder? Just wanting to know so I can figure out where to put my focus on.

I've played off and on for years but this is honestly the farthest I've been (I'm just in post ARR, not even to HW yet)
