I seem to understand what you are trying to say, that the new tiered armor gives bonus damage to weapons that are new, compared to not giving it to older weapons. The way the new armor tiers are designed to give bonus damage when utilizing the new weapons of 10% or 15%, as well as damage reduction of the same % when using newer tiered armor sets. In a sense it's contradictory to think it's not sunset, the fact the bonus only applies to the newest gear and weapons. On the other hand many of these post are also correct when saying it's not a full on sunset, just that we will need tier 5 armor to take full advantage of this system, in which it will not be available to obtain right away. All in all I do see what your concerns are for the way the newer armor sets will benefit your loadout if you have full tier 5 weapons and armor. Not sure how it will be by renegades but time will tell, and untill then I'm certain our weapons will be viable for the time being. By that time though most of us will probably have access to tier 5 weapons and armor and will be able to fully determine the scope at which it's sunset entirely. Keep in mind every season will feature new sets and there will be meta builds that are the go to for each set, if this is how they meant by diablo style gearing then many are going to be in for a surprise. As a diablo player each season brought with it the creme de la creme builds that everyone used for those seasons. Off season builds would be lackluster in comparison to what the devs wanted players to use for meta. Eyes up Guardian enjoy Destiny 2 hope I was able to understand your point of view 🍻🫡
