Stuck at Cavalier

So today I completed Act7 Chapter 1 and yet again i couldn't form a single T5CC. I've explored the variants, I've explored every cavalier event and side quest since they came out and I've been doing Map7 with epic mods to get the T5CC shards. Also i bought the July 4th offers as a Cavalier and the Cyber Weekend that offered me T5CC. My only option is to either go on a path of the Abyss or to explore Act6 or Act7. Why just why? I believe this is a common problem and I would like a solution that wouldn't cause me to waste a lot of time just to catch up with the new progression level

The issue here is that cavs want the best rewards, but dont want to work towards getting the best rewards. Getting cav was too easy to be honest.
I'd recommend exploring 7. 1, if you've done all that you should be able to handle it without using a lot of resources. Hopefully that should get you to Thronebreaker.
I have done my fair share of Kabam defending, and the majority of the time it was justified, but this Thronebreaker/Cav disparity is so blindingly obvious and yet no one from Kabam will admit that they did it to squeeze extra money from people, and not because they wanted to actually reward people who have played their game for a considerable amount of time.
Getting thronebreaker is also insanely harder than getting Cav. Makes sense why the rewards are so good
If you want to be TB, you have to be willing to do EVERYTHING to get there. I got there from my pass through Abyss. I got a mutant T5CC. I wasn't TB when it was released but I had my T5CC way before it was released. I had a few mutants in my roster and chose to rank Magneto. I waited a bit because I was hesitant about ranking someone unduped. I waited a few weeks and then duped Magneto.
The point is, keep doing what you are doing with Map 7 but if you want a faster track, do a path in abyss. More than anything, keep growing your roster.
I finished my initial act 6 completion run several months ago (although I had already fully explored 6.1) and the attack values were brutal. But not long after the nerfs were in place, I went in for exploration - and I was shocked at how different of an experience it was. You can take so many blocked hits now while still taking minimal damage, and most of the excessively difficult fights have been toned down to more manageable levels - take 6.2.2 Mr. Sinister, for example. On top of that, if you have a magneto, the imiw and darkhawk bosses all of a sudden become some of the easiest fights in the whole act.
So yeah, as of right now, I actually only have two paths left (stupid cosmic and tech gates in 6.2.5) before I’ve fully explored all of act 6 - and I only started on this project a few months ago. Granted, 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 are still very difficult and the class gates are overly restrictive, but other than that I feel like act 6 is well-balanced now. Anyways, all this is to say that an abyss run isn’t your only path to TB like most people seem to think. If you’re willing to grind for a little while and work around a few difficult sections, then act 6 is a viable option.
