    I feel like there is another issue in play. As it stands each set of dungeons have an pattern to their entry/average levels, usually being a set increase of say, 20 or so. The Level 60 besides ARF start with an entry level of 145-150 then the next set move to i160 then i180, then i200 then i210. As a result they will always be behind the capped currency gear of the relative time frame. The pattern seems to be that the first half og the raid tier includes dungeons that ate 50 ilevels lower then Savage gear followed by dungeons that are 40 ilevel lower than savage gear.

    This means that anyone who raids or manages to cap tomes for a few weeks will always over-gear the dungeon. And this pattern will continue in the next patch which will give gear equivalent to the Eikonic gear.

    This happened in 2.X as well while the sclae is lower due to upgraded tomegear not being a thing until Soldiery, the dungeons were still vastly overgeared due to starting form an ilevel close to the character level and increasing form there and there being no ilevel sync until later

    This also means that ultimately unless they treat dungeons like raids into terms of at least entry requirements and scaling (the backlash to AK and Sirius pretty much ensures that being as likely as Blizzard going under), or change the pattern so that instead of 2 dungeons with the same requirement,s we'd have four with 2 at the beginnign and middle of the tiers and change the requirements (and Changing Expert roulette's rotation to a 2-4-2-4 pattern instead of consistent 2 per patch pattern) to match (say 4.1 and 4.2 both need an ilevel of 330 to enter instead of 4.1 needing i300 and 4.2 needing i320), then anyone that can at least cap the tomestones will always be stronger than the dungeon is made for
