    Indeed, but the tome gear is essentially almost as goo as raid gear isn't it? I guess I should have been more specific and said that the dungeons would appear to be balanced for the best gear available in the MSQ without using Tomes or raiding. But I do understand your point, and anyone who has been playing for a while will have at least some tome gear. even so, I think the dungeons are balanced to a lowest common denominator, aka whatever the best from MSQ is.

    Honestly, it turns Savage more into a glass cannon scenario. Most of the bigger mechanics will still severely hurt even with 270 gear. You can simply cheese through certain ones a bit easier. For example, DPS generally eat the first Optical Sight in A11S nowadays. Crafted gear made that much harder to pull off without making your healers cry. Unfortunately, current dungeons are easy enough even lore gear would be more than enough without much hiccup. That's where the issues lies.

    I had to go back and check to make sure, but MSQ stops giving gear at level 58. That 145 ilvl alone would only get a player into The Aetherochemical Research Facility, Neverreap, and The Fractal Continuum. Which means to advance into any dungeons beyond that, you need to get dungeon gear or hunt for seals. Both give tomestones, so there would be no point in not upgrading some pieces to Lore or Scripture. I suppose you can get crafted gear too, but that is also outside the realm of the MSQ. Dungeons are suppose to appear balanced at their respective minimum ilvl, which a lot of players surpass on release, without effort if they did any gearing the previous patch.

    A mentor stole my house, slapped me across the face, and raised my ping from 15 to 30. Literally unplayable.
