You know that Item level is a kind of actual level system right? As in you want to be wearing Ilevel 119 gear and not any 110, since that would make you 9 levels lower.

Itemlevel not only boosts your level but your trusts too.

If you equip full 119 gear you should have a much easier time of it, can buy some easily from here:
