The current battle system mainly calculate everything from Your Rank vs Mob Rank

quoting this again because people can't read.

this isnt directing to anyone but, u can try tanking current NM with r45, come back later when you are r50. you can bring friends with different ranks to test stuff out really easy, but like most of the posters in this forum. Most arent even playing or past r40. So..

Actually no. I tanked Uraeus at Lv48 and Lv50 with the exact same gear. The difference was night and day. A much bigger difference than it should be. Also when I was fighting it at 48 we did another attempt with bronze gear... Same exact damage.

Edit: Is that the same Apple Pie from Beta on Wutai? I played Sagara Sousuke. lol
