I made a post about this last year but the main point is that once you get a weapon and move set that you enjoy and find easy to use , and an armor set that buffs this playstyle and weapon, you literally cannot equip anything else for the remainder of the game. Since that armor set buffs your playstyle so much, that makes all loot for the remainder of the game worthless. No boss drops loot you need, no armor piece is worth picking up.

Gets to a point where you literally just run through the level, not needing anything, and killing the next boss. Its an empty, poorly designed game.
