Dude. You have 3 characters at level 10, and therefore using old weapons. What did you expect your results to be? I'm just now getting caught up. Was behind the curve and taking a beating by those that leveled up in a week. But..... I'm having a good time now, just shy of 350 but have good tier 4s, some 3s, and a few 5s..... It makes a HUGE difference. Synergy / build crafting in this iteration is actually very good. I was skeptical/ resistant at first. Its been great tinkering with it, and I'm starting to enjoy the new system. It enables you to focus & be centric in a lot of different ways.... .... I have one entirely separate build for CQ maps. One general purpose build at 4x 100s, and another that's weapons forged focused (but my least favorite). Some old weapons like my Nechrochasm with full catalyst can still kill....but it doesn't synergize as well as other new weapons.
