I was iLvl 73 for Syrcus Tower and people raged that my iLvl was too low?

Who cares what they think? If you can queue for it, queue for it. I've seen plenty of people gimp themselves so that they can spiritbond in ST and we still finish the raid without any problems. As long as you're doing your job, you're fine.

as far i can tell only the MT that need to be geared i80+ will be ok

rest if all i70 np

[AiChyan]

Its just ST lol, ignore them. As long as you are doing your job and not dying to dumb stuff you are all good.

[WinterSolstice]

Just tryhards. The people that complain about that are the same people who don't help out with mechanics because their DPS is too important and they shouldn't have to move.

No your fine ilvl in this games sometimes a joke iv ran with ppl in titan hm who are ilvl 100+ have at least 5300hp and still get hit way to much as long {like others are saying} as you know your job your ok

Well honestly... there is zero reason to enter st without i90 gears consider how easy it is to get them form the hunt vendor

Tell me, are 51 Allied Seals enough for full i90 gear? Because that's all I've gotten. I have better gear, but generally you shouldn't make the assumption that people are doing nothing but farming hunts.

Crystal tower is still the fastest way to get tomes to buy lvl 90 gear. And st really is only feasible once a week, since after you get an item you are locked out from getting loot until reset on Tuesday.

is iLvl 73 too low to effectively do Syrcus Tower?

Yes, it is low and you'll be carried in ST. But who cares anyway?
Normally I would suggest to go no earlier than when you have gear 10 levels lower than gear dropped in any given dungeon (except coil as it have same level gear for all stages). If you want to fully participate and nor just get the loot on back of others.

If DF lets you que in said gear you are geared enough. People just hate the idea of having to work a little harder for any reason.

Ilvl requirement provide an absolute minimum, not even recommended level. And it was stated that it made so to allow people "help other" (=carry) in content.

You will not pass Xande with i70 dps. And I really doubt that i70 heals would be able to keep tank/party alive on all bosses. A lot of attacks will leave people on the floor with their 3k hp at their 70ilvl.
ST really looks easy when majority of alliance at 100+ilvl. But there are some nasty dps/heal checks that ilvl70 will fail a lot.

I drop down to around ilvl 70 something when Spirit bonding on the trash fights(right side only), I just keep an alternate gear set so I can switch between the spirit bond gear and my real gear for boss fights, no one has ever complained to me... and sometimes even if I forget and keep my SB gear on during a boss fight, it doesn't really make that much of a difference, if people have the fight mechanics down and execute them properly, there isn't really anyway that you can lose.

note that I keep the main gear (left side) all ilvl 100+ while the right side is ilvl 49ish, so it averages out to be around ilvl 73-5ish, but the items on the left are worth alot more then then the right side, the numbers are deceptive because its a simple average, it doesn't care what stats your actually getting.
