    Common courtesy to fate vs dungeon grinding

    If you've been fate grinding your alts from 50 to 60, and you decided to jump into, let's just say The Vault, please don't be that guy that is still wearing World of Darkness gear and the iLvl 110 Soldiery weapon.

    I sighed so hard, but given him a chance anyway. Even with non-updated gear, he decides to stand in most AOEs taking massive damage and just tickling the mobs and bosses. Kinda sucked when a healer out DPSed him, we eventually kicked him.

    I just want to say, my BLM grinded dungeons from 51 to 58, I have never, ever, once, at all, even including my time leveling PLD and WHM to 60, seen even one BLM body armor drop. In fact between 54 and 58 I only saw my weapon drop, nothing else dropped that I can use. I did see countless DEX pieces drop, though.

    So i'm still wearing the 120 WoD robe. But I'm doing as good dps as any other DPS because I did get my weapon drops.

    Just want to say that wearing WoD doesn't mean you can't do the dps. It's mostly the weapon that matters.

    Oh I know about weapon making the most of the difference in DPS, but he literally stood in almost all the AoEs. The White and Black Horse Knights long straight line AoE? Yeah, he takes chunks of dmg cause of his gear.

    Having better gear wouldn't justify standing in AoE, or improve his health by anything particularly substantial.

    Skill>gear and all, but it seems like you ran into someone who was lacking on both. Would take quite a bit of gear to make up that difference.

    wearing WoD gear means your lazy and didnt talk to a vender and buy higher lvl items for dirt cheap. I believe you can buy ilvl145 from a vender in a few spots
