People can't wait 10 seconds...

I don't have the addon and I don't want to be decked out in like 10 minutes.

Then be ready to fight for hate, as your hate control is heavily reliant on your gear. More so in earlier levels, but you're beyond that point.

But I doubt you're going to be "decked out" even in 10 minutes when you get the add on.

Note that even if you do buy 115 armor that isn't the highest ilvl for ARR (That would be 130).

Yeah, well I don't have it right now and won't have it for a while and I don't wanna run out of content in 2 weeks or so.

Okay thanks, but I really just wanna do dungeons and earn the armor instead of just buying it.

Wanna know what's worse? Stoneskinning the tank as a SCH then the tank pulls mid-adlo and I instantly have biggest threat of everything >~> You couldn't wait 2 seconds. If you see a scholar stoneskin you it means he's going to adlo you too since adlo>>stoneskin it just has a much shorter duration.

I usually don't mind it, but the one main thing that bothers me is when I Shield Lob, I have a DRG use Jump or a NIN hitting Kassatsu + Raiton, on a mob I haven't got the chance to touch yet.

Or that one DPS that stuns a mob while I'm pulling two groups.

Sometimes, you just have to.

I've learned that when you keep your gear at your level, it makes running content so much easier. It don't sound like much on paper, but having Lv54 gear in a Lv57 dungeon can be felt.

You're a tank, u'll get another instant queu, leave if you're starting to have bad taste in the mouth I think.

To be fair, he's talking about lvl 50 gear in lvl 50 dungeons. Given that he atleast has ilvl 90 going up against, at most, ilvl 130 (and I believe all dungeons go to ilvl 110 right now for the 50 ones.) he should be fine enough. I also believe the MSQ now gives better gear at certain points even in ARR?

Two things:
Only the earliest dungeons (the ones that drop 55-70 gear) are ilvl synced to 110. Everything else is 130.
90 gear isn't anything for threat control, especially with respect to tank weapons. You're talking about a 40 ilvl deficit, on top of the fact that any DPS with 130 gear has probably run the content often enough to do it while napping, and they just want their poetics so they can go back to Idyllshire.

[Dualblade]

True yes, but I do talk from experience that it is completely possible to tank from good dps in 130 while you are in ilvl 90, including weapons. Now of course it is easier when the ilvls are closer together, but he will be getting better gear as he goes quickly enough. Poetics are still a thing and plentiful so he will have some ilvl 120 soon enough.
