Change in End Game Gear. You've been Doing it wrong?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94I0GbgUT50

In this video I discuss why sweetwater is not the best end game eye/face accessory. I also provide the better alternative almost no one realizes exists. Feel free to contribute to the discussion in the comments if I missed anything.

if it's so called "ENDGAME" why the heck would you wanna trade it in the first place?.

@wall: It has to be a Blackgate mask tho, otherwise it isn't endgame.

Even myself, as someone who will never switch classes or sell my gear, I prefer value. So end game tier equipment that's tradeable vs. ones that aren't, I'd pick the ones PSokable.
But.... it's too late for me to change now.

@nyan: Because, I boss with 14 characters, Evan is just my main, the thing is though, I never said my heart was end game, and I never would've, I in fact planned to prime another one specifically for my Evan down the road eventually(an outlaw), and what I said contradicts nothing besides the op's title, I don't know what you were thinking, but it's wrong, people can fund multiple characters and only main one of them, you know?

@nyan: Untradable on equip isn't even that bad. 30-33% main pot SW's are plentiful in the market (partially due to botters) and they cost much less than having to self-cube a tradable 30% stat accessory because there's none for sale. I can probably buy 3 30-33% pot SW's for the price of self-cubing 1 tradable 30% stat accessory, and I doubt I'll need to switch mains 3 times or more (and I can get 3 different stats instead of having to stick with 1). Not to mention they're downright better.

@nyan: This thread CLEARLY says END GAME GEAR, though the OP completely derides from his post's title. The post's title seemed to point to which gear is strongest not most economical. Therefore not only is the OP wrong, so are you. End game gear and economical gear is completely different. End game gear wise, SW face and eye is better than whatever OP thinks it is, purely based on the fact that SW is a tier higher. Sure it sucks if you make a new character but that's not the point OP is getting at. He keeps talking about money being wasted but he's talking about something completely different than what his title should have been. MOST people that plan on quitting or changing classes down the road already know not to get SW gear unless they're fine with getting an untradable item.
@hacebera your post's title as i have said is extremely misleading. Classic bait and switch. You could have said "Economical End Game Gear" instead of challenging most maplers to what they/we know is the best choice for highest damage.

@keyan22 then why do you use an electronic heart instead of one of those untradable hearts, kinda contradicts what you said about SW

@nyan: I wont be, sucks that you can't choose a class and hop to another, I've been an Evan since he came out, and never had dreamed of changing.

@nyan:
not everyone wants to class hop, ya know.
Some of us have stuck with our main for 5+ years and don't intend to switch.

@hacebera u and i, we think alike. exactly why i made this http://i.imgur.com/GmS7M0J.png

tldr:
prof foxwit glasses/ blackgate mask are claimed by OP to be better because they are PSOK'able.

In reality, no, they're not better because of this. SW is a tier higher and both the tattoo and glass have more slots.

It's a matter of preference. If you class hop a lot, maybe OP's suggestion is for you. But for those of us that don't intend to class hop around, SW is better.
