you should be getting that dopamine rush from a renewed sunder, and much less so from a latent.
but dont get me wrong, a latent should also be a significant step for your character progression. almost to the point you ought to be incentivized to re-spec based on the one you just found.
the way its setup now, the progression curve is all wrong.
it would be cool if latents dropped like previously and heralds dropped rare materials to turn them into renewed.
right now a big problem is taht a lot of builds that were viable last season are struggling because they don't have basic sunders.
and the expansion-rotw transfer hack still works so it's all extremely poorly thought out
