You can level past 30 to 35 by using added copies of your weapon. Beyond more attack, +35 unlocks your weapon's SAF (Special Ability Factor) which is a special 100% base chance affix that can be very powerful.
Your first steps in returning would be to get to level 75 and get a +35 NT 13*. This will give you a current weapon and help unlock level 80. Some current weapons are:
Atra 14* series > buy Val series from player shop, upgrade to +35 and unlock a stone that will turn Val into Atra. Atra is all about S abilities, which are special affixes. Read up on this a little to work out exactly how you want to proceed with this weapon. Easiest endgame weapon to get at the moment and still very strong.
Qliphad 13* series > Very strong collection file related weapon, but the collection file is expired. Collection Files (CF's) basically give you weapons for filling certain enemies. You can get them from Pudding, next to Koffie. This weapon also requires Qliphad fuses to use, which drop exclusively from Deus EQ's (oldish content now).
Nemesis and Slave NT 13* series > Drop only weapons from Naberius and Lillipa UQ respectively. Very strong, but terrible drop rates. You also have to have one OT version of the weapon type that you actually want to use to realistically complete the weapon.
Ray and Union 13* series > Only really mentioned because they are 2018 badge weapons now. Used to be near top tier, but fell to power creep. Get 400 badges to get a usable 30 NT cap, 60 element weapon. 2400 badges for +35, which gives you free Astral Soul SAF. Union is the upgrade of Ray requiring Union boosters. More hassle and less power than Atra, really only good for the SAF now.
PA wise, Ra is still using End Attract and Sat Cannon. Parallel Slider 0 is a staple of Ra now, allowing decent damage while keeping mobile and giving you more opportunities to activate Standing Snipe. Sneak Shooter got iframes, Diffuse Shell got a big power buff. Launchers got huge attack buffs in terms of normal damage and PP recovery. PA damage also went up and Divine Launcher 0 is amazing for mobbing. Rodeo Drive 0 is one of the best movement PA's.
