    Give Singularity Reactor an item level sync

    If tanks are at the minimum average IL 142 but the DPS are 240, then the tanks aren't keeping the boss aggro. Seen it happen multiple times now and it's not really fair for the new tanks to be blamed.

    The divide between minimum and maximum gear at level 60 is already very wide. So sync this fight to IL 180, same as The Aetherochemical Research Facility.

    Feel free to increase tomestone reward so people won't complain about it now being slower to clear

    Even with item level sync it won't help. Try a leveling dungeon such as Sastasha with a leveling tank and level 60 geared DPS. Even synced down the DPS will rip agro off the poor tank.

    Leveling dungeons are a different issue, it's just not as easy for tanks to get much of a lead in the enmity race at low levels when their toolkit is reduced so much, they are lacking enmity bonus stances and combos with big enmity multipliers.

    At max level with all skills available, having item level parity does help.

    Never had issues holding agro in the lving roulette's while my drk was still a newbi. I have however ran into issues in Singularity Reactor just like the OP has said where geared players are pulling agro left and right and none of my skills could hold them. Now that my drk is geared I have no issues, but that place is not nice to new tanks at all.

    Like 80% of the fight is watching a scripted mechanic light show, I don't see this being a priority, fresh 60 tanks will just have to do their best and abuse provoke for that first 20% of the fight.

    I just don't like how we get the boss to 1% & continue to wail(?) on him for 30 secs until he finally starts his ultimate sequence

    It seems like level sync hits tanks harder than DPS in some post lv 50 leveling dungeons as well. Sohm Al is interesting in that way.

    I kinda think it's funny how we can't sequence break the fight since a recent run had him at 0% for like a minute before he went into the mechanic fest portion of the fight.
