That’s the biggest problem for me. I pretty much capped my gear at 63 (after I solo’d the 2nd capstone), and have just been min/max’ing ever since. Meanwhile, I have slightly better rares rotting in my stash while I wait for aspects to drop so I can use them.
I can solo stuff a dozen levels above (at level 92), but why bother when the loot isn’t ever going to get any better? At least in D3, running higher rifts would improve your chances of getting a primal. In this? NADA. It actually seems like the drops get worse when you go more than 3 levels above your level.
The required level, drop level and item power should all be directly linked. At the moment I get rubbish drops that can’t even be handed down to an alt or a friend.
