It doesn't avoid jack shit, the same problems that existed in World and Rise exist in Wilds; everyone was running Critboost 5 before the talisman update and everyone is running Critboost 5 Attack Boost 5 after the update, with the exception being GL who doesn't use Critboost at all.
The weapon and armor split was supposed to encourage you to have utility skills on your armor and damaging skills on your weapons so you can switch up mid hunt while not missing out on your important damaging skills for each weapon. Instead, they still put the majority of damaging skills in the armor and THE generic damaging skills in the weapon so everyone is running the SAME SHIT EVERYWHERE.
I cannot fathom how a professional game designer even fucks this shit up, it makes me seethe whenever I think about this
