Is it wrong to run Castrum Abania as a tank at ilvl 272

[WaterShield]

Doubled defense (which is not quite what i280~ gear has over i270 gear, for that matter) does not mean you're taking half the damage.

Just pointing that out since you're apparently the one using math as your argument.

Again, if you think someone in i270 needs constant curebombs to tank a leveling dungeon, it's clear you haven't actually tried.

- Augmented Shire Custodian's Armor: 480 both.

- Nomad's Coat of Fending: 610 both.

- Gazelleskin Coat of Fending NQ: 723 both.

- Yanxian Hara-ate of Fending: 739 both.

- Gazelleskin Coat of Fending HQ: 804 both.

For me a mixture of Bardam's Mettle + Doma Castle left side is acceptable, anything below that need an upgrade to at least level 68 vendor gear. No one is asking for a full 285 HQ gear set.

Ok since you are playing it this way, approximately 53.95% more defense upgrading from the old gear that is 7 levels outdated. Is that a small difference?

Also find it highly ironic that you are throwing numbers out of the conversation... except when it suits you to point out someone else's. Now that I have provided a completely accurate number. Discuss?

People supposedly good enough that they have ultimate clears should not be considering SB leveling dungeons to be remotely challenging at i270, because I sure didn't and I'm nowhere near that level. So yeah, I'm gonna be condescending all I like. I shouldn't dish it out if I can't take it.

FTFY also

"People supposedly good enough that they have ultimate clears" :thinking:
