    Have you ever tried to level a tank through ARR content while carrying gear meant for DPS/healer? It plays havoc with the gear recommendation system because they can equip all of it. It runs off the VIT stat, so your +10 DEF / +5 VIT mage robe is recommended over the +30 DEF / +4 VIT tank armour that is still the best thing you can currently equip.

    Yes, I've noticed a few problems like that early on. That just means they need to tweak the stat priority. It's a problem that already exists and it should be addressed regardless. The point was that it clearly already looks at stats.

    EDIT: according to a post above it looks like they have at least tried to fix it.

    Fair point, but I did mention the Sky Rat sets, but there are numerous vender, crafted and dungeon pieces and sets that have nonsensical assignments (Shisui anyone?). Garo Sets and quite a few PvP sets like the ones just added are great examples.
