    Because, VM8 is last patch's BiS gear.

    I'd strongly reconsider making VM8 from scratch if I were you. The amount it'll cost to roll your stats, etch it, enchant it to +12, awaken it, and then enchant it to +15 will be enormous and with most people obtaining their VM9 already there're quite a few VM8 items on the broker selling for less than you'll probably spend on feed/mwa/an etching/spellbinds/enigmatic scrolls/intricate IDs. Just a suggestion since you're already blowing money on this thing and you haven't even made it yet. Could save up for a bit, selling things like mwa/feed that you would've used on the item, and then just buy it already enchanted, rolled, and etched with the only downside being that you can't resell it.

    When going for a previous generation set it's normally better to buy it. Most of them already have 3% MW bonuses, perfect roll and higher tiered etchings. Making it yourself this late is a loss unless you get very lucky even if you manage to sell it later. You have the potential to spend enough resources where you could have bought the current generation if you sold your materials instead.

    imo the only good point of making vm8 gear is either alt weapon, because stronger alt = easier farming, or making healer weapon since I see few people roaming around with starfall scepters / staffs and are having high heals, so those weapons wouldnt really be affected THAT much as DPS weapons

    Yup, just buy it. Enchanting/rerolling cost will most likely be higher than it's price, not to mention time spend gathering mats.

    Buy +15 VM8 second-hand if you can. Making from scratch probably isn't worth it unless it's something like gloves that can still be useful at +12.

    Buying it straight out is boring. Part of the fun is enchanting and failing constantly. There's a certain sense of achievement reaching +15 the long way. Also it'll keep you playing Tera for a little while longer.

    Or not, if you keep failing and realise you spent your meagre fortune for nothing instead of using them to buy from someone.

    12% + dps (+ modificador are better vs misery +12) when people go to double enraged + 6.9% back damage+7.2 % less cd roll (+3 if you get +12 ambush gloves ) = +15%,

    and im tested and data shets from [REMOVED]
    +15 Ambush vs +15 Dreathward is Aroun 4.0-4.5 % diference in dps class ( like sorcer )
    this is like 100-150 k/s more damage with +15 dreatward weapon vs +15 ambush weapon ( because gloves have same % damage +modificador

    is because eau drooped from mid tier and caprins from low tier ( like imperator last pacht ) and next pacht are more hard to obtain since 2 of the most laggy dungeons come back huehuehue ( and you need runing it for powders and envys )
