Yes, some of the common gears are stronger than most legendary gears in game. But have you noticed something else? All the gears have negative water resis, if someone is attacking you with only a general with a little water piercing they get quite a bit of an advantage over you. If you have negative 50 water resis and they have 50 water offence thats 10% extra effective attacking.

Also i have to disagree with your Hydra Blade comparison with the Halberd, Hydra Blade has 100 atk and 100 def compared to 110 atk and 80 def, I dont care if you using Hydra B as off/def or both it works out better with the formula (1xatk) + (0.7xdef) and vise versa for defense. Also Hydra B has 100 piercing, compared to 25 piercing and 10 fire piercing with 2 slots. That extra slot can only net you another 25 phy piercing and 25 earth piercing at the most. If you understand how the piercing/resis system in this game work you won't be saying the new gears are better really.

My last point on the new legendary alchemy, I think people have to really do the maths before they complain. Best spell prior to this was Death Embrace at 45/45 so tell me again how an extra 15 atk and 15 def on top of that another 10 fire piercing is worst? AOD was out more than 2 years ago so seeing a new spell in game is already as good as it gets. Now the offhand, you have to be not understand the current situation in game to say it is shit. Tell me what was the best in game offhand with in-build phy resis? Elite Retri Aegis only has 1 slot with 30 phy resis, Gorgon's Heart 60/70 with 80 phy resis 1 slot. How is that worst than 70/80, 90 resis + 25 fire resis with 2 slots? Did you knocked your head when you were born? Even Flamebound defender (not the legendary alchemy) 60/75, 90 resis is already better than the best offhand prior.

People are entitled to their own opinion but please do your maths on this one.
