On one hand, you can get to level 90 fairly quickly now to run relevant content without much grinding. However, the difficulty will spike up suddenly as you can practically facetank your way to level 90 then get absolutely destroyed by s3 raids.
Meanwhile, the performance gap between a well geared player and moderately geared one has become much bigger with rise and is unfortunately is heavily dictated by rng due to the change in additional damage. I wouldn't consider this a huge deal unless you are someone whose extremely competitive in pve and want to minmax the crap out of your character at endgame.
I've heard about min/max what does that mean exactly xP I'm sorry for the noob question.
I've played games where once you pick your weapon, you can't change and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't screwing up ^^ Thank you!
As for attack speed, it's no different really. You'll find ways to stack balance (The Dead and Enthusiastic scrolls, material synthesizing, Ein Lacher titles, 2 from a special outfitter, etc) and then slap on Fast scrolls. The higher enhanced your weapon is the higher attack speed you'll also receive.
I've found this to no longer be true. Yes, enhance and scrolls seem to still increase it, but tons of equips now have attack speed, even the noob equips. This means there's now certain equips that are more for attack speed than others, in all equipment types.
