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

[Fynlar]

It's more to do with your flippant attitude, the way you talk down to everybody,

Nobody else here is doing anything that though, with their posts of "oh, if anyone got in my Abania party with i270 gear I'd totally kick them (even though that's more than sufficient to do the dungeon with and I'm just being super entitled and will only accept the absolute fastest dungeon runs possible and tolerating anything less than that is just ENABLING crappy players)", right?

It's by definition not efficient because your gear is trash, Mr Rat's Ass.

Except it isn't. I don't subscribe to your "if it isn't the best, it's garbage" nonsense.

It’s funny that you enjoy calling other people delusional when you continue to ignore the numbers right in front of you.

And yet despite all your numbers, I wasn't getting my ass kicked in these dungeons. Maybe it's because... *gasp* the dungeons aren't that difficult and the numbers don't actually mean as much as you think they might?

The DEF stat really doesn't make as huge of a difference as many of you are blowing it up to be (and I'm pretty sure that this at least partially accounts for me not getting my ass kicked tanking these dungeons in i270 like people here insist I must have been). People were already figuring this out way back in 2.x when Foresight was still being picked apart as a cross class ability, and often ridiculed for failing to even make a visible difference most of the time.

Protect got picked apart in a similar fashion too. A lot of people, myself included, conceded that even though it didn't actually make that much of a difference, it's still something you had to set and use anyway or else you will inevitably get people piping up saying "y u no protect??!//" and refusing to move from the start of the dungeon because they were absolutely convinced that it had way more of an effect than it actually did and that they were going to die horrible deaths without it.
