I've recently returned to the game and in the past the bigger 4 was the way to go until you could farm epic boss+ armours. But going through the map now, stages drop materials to craft legendaries (poor in comparison to epic boss but still better than 3+s).

So does this mean the old bigger 4 is pointless? Is there a new bigger 4 made up of legendaries?

Which armours would people recommend to farm after the big 4, to bridge the gap between those and farming plus versions of the epic boss armour? I was looking at Jians Battlegear as a better version for Swamp Shaman Robes, one cof the former bigger 4.
