Is stacking "rarity of items found" worth it in poe2?

after some time testing in atlas's maps, i realized that a rarity find build isnt viable on even tier one to b worth it. the lack of poer and defenses is too big. u'd have to b heavily carried in a party to make something out of it.

I'm sellin my rarity gear to buy a better gear set.

I have 244% Increased Rarity drop and can consistently clear T15 - T16 maps...

I feel like I see ZERO difference in currency drops...

I do feel I see a lot more rare's vs magic items... and said rares tend to have higher rolls for affix's

Maybe i need more testing but im about 15 T15 maps in and for sure the currency drops are the same... maybe just unlucky...

Normally I would say it doesn't, but rarity now gives those "tier 1-5" item drops which roll better.
