Relic being tomestone step AGAIN is incredibly depressing

You can also do all the savage content with crafted gear.

Only if you're hardcore enough. Most groups I've been helping can't get past some DPS checks only with crafted gear. it makes sense that gear progression helps people get through savage easier.

Whereas if you go into a dungeon/normal raid/ 24 man raid with crafted gear vs tomestone gear vs full bis gear, the only difference is some bosses die faster. The mobs are not a threat, tanks can self heal and healers have 100000 healing tools they'll never use between trash pulls.

I needed ilvl750 to be able to solo 8 player treasure maps.
Or to be more exact: I could finish the dungeon itself with ilvl720, but could not enter reliably - the treasure chest spawns one group composition that I could not dispose off in time (3 mobs -> on death 3 other mobs -> on death 3 other mobs). I always was like 30 seconds short when these guys turned up. A few pieces of ilvl750 did not help, but the weapon did the trick - all of a sudden I now had 30 seconds left

Soloing that sounds fun, even if it wasn't the intended way.

I fear I'm playing the game wrong anyway, seeing how I not once set my foot into an extreme, savage, ultimate, chaotic, pointless, or whatever
