Unfortunately, with all the Shuyal items and chests dropping from the Arena, there is no reason to run here (at least for loot).
The only thing I disagree with is the improvement of Legendaries. The Warrior Magma gear is very much superior to Architect/Tarlok/Hellish, but for Sorcs and in particular, Rogues, Magma is a step down. Yes, Magma adds significantly to armor, but Rogues are single target DMG classes. This season's gear really isn't much of an improvement. Plus, with lv36 rings and amulets (Archon aside) being superior to everything that is available at lv41, I just don't see much, if any, improvement for Rogues this season. My lv36 Tarlok amulet is still by far the best item available, my lv36 Fangmaster ring is competitive, even with lv41 Archons, and I still use the same mythic helm and armor that I've used for a while now. The only difference between this season and last seaon, for me at least, is the Expedition Bow - which is junk crate gear.
If this is the intent of gear staggering, then I am not impressed with the results, at least for Rogues. I can see how Warriors are happy this season, more armor much higher DMG. Sorcs even have something worthwhile in higher armor stats and a totem with an awesome proc. Rogues....nothing to be excited about. Magmatic blades proc is silly, and the other magma gear hurts the stats that are important for our class.
