Thoughts on gearbuilding as of Chapter 5?
I'll likely do an update to my big guide at some point. It took me a while to get used to the new world we live in, for a while I was really mad about the flower items... but they're actually decently balanced! DF matters WAY more in 5 than it ever did in 1-4. Unsure how to feel about this, but it's def a change of pace and changes strategy. It's kinda crazy how the AT stat doesn't matter in 5 at all. I'm kinda convinced it'll be important in 6-7 though, like it was in 3-4.
Devilsknife, my Goat, remains strong. Jevilstail is dead in a ditch somewhere, outclassed by a cowboy hat and no longer part of optimal builds, merely providing +2MG and +1DF over spikeband. Puppetscarf straight up irrelevant if the BrokenScarf hidden stats are retained in 6. Dealmaker now has competition but is still good. TensionBow is somehow still useful, despite being 3 chapters since its introduction. Shine on, you magnificent item...
