Baffling behavior

[Yeol]

I'm being positive and assuming that the healer couldn't heal the tank due to the tank gear being inappropriate for the duty. Not that the healer didn't want to heal the tank because of their gear.

OP explained that another healer was able to heal them through the same dungeon with the same gear. OP, not all healers have the same skill. Some will be able to heal you, others won't. It's always best to ensure that you're well geared for the content you are doing.

It's not even a matter of skill, some pulls require you to be capped item level & have a WHM or you're going to struggle bus it.

Dungeons are leveling content, WHM has the best healing experience in leveling content because they have the highest HPS in a vacuum, dungeons pulls are the closest thing you can get to a vacuum.
WHM > Diurnal AST> SCH> Nocturnal AST

Some pulls just can't be done easily if at all with the wrong class let alone tank item level being low.

Also side note, this has nothing to do with you but with this thread.

I hate people who talk about the way something should be instead of the way it actually is: "He's got the item level set by SE to get in so by their standards he's allowed."
I don't think SE thought people would be using different class gear to avoid item level restrictions, just like I don't think they thought about how people would take off gear to get specific dungeons in roulettes.
It is so absolutely aggravating when people talk about the way something should be because someone they gave figurative authority to can't be wrong.
Acknowledge, adapt, overcome. Not winning any prizes pretending the worlds a better place than it is.

Yeah, it just goes to show the people use that argument are clueless. The system is complete garbage below lvl70. I'm rerolling on an alt while waiting for Edge and it has been hilarious. At lvl34, the best gear system want to swap out my lvl25 dungeon tank piece for a lvl31 caster piece (cloth). I thought ... maybe they just base on vit. Then when I was at lvl45, it wants to swap out my lvl44 Darkhold tank piece (which is the best tank piece for the level) for a lvl41 DPS piece from the previous dungeon. At that point I just gave up trying to understand it. And that's beside the issue like you said people can just swap gear to meet the ilvl check.


And in a way SE admitted that is an issue, that's why in later expack they locked gears into their specific classes ... but they never go back and fix it for the first half portion of the game. Unless you're 70+, saying "the game let me queue so I have enough ivl" doesn't mean squat.
