So, I'm curious how exactly equipment scales down with level sync, because I've heard conflicting answers, and had some very strange results with it personally. I decided to help a healer friend through Brayflox a few times to get him some gear, so I ran in wearing Myth body, DL for the rest, and HQ level 49 accessories. Overkill for Brayflox, but that's what level sync is for. It felt like that I was taking far, far more damage than when I was running the dungeon in my 30s in the Cavalry set. Is there something going on with the level sync that made sync'd down Myth/DL gear inferior to more level-appropriate gear, or was I just imagining it? I even died in the starting area just before the boss, so maybe it was also my healer friend trying to properly adjust to curing at higher level dungeons?

If anyone could shed some light on how exactly gear scales with level sync, I would appreciate it. Don't wanna lug around different level sets of gear if I don't have to.
