    Just before maintanence, needed to do one last DR:Expert.

    The DRG in the party was red dotting / dc'ing while in the first cutscene so scoped out their gear.

    They had a whole tonne of 260/270 stuff, both left and right side but their weapon was a.... True Ice Spear!

    As in, the i110 lvl 50 Shiva weapon..

    At level 60.
    In a DR:Ex....

    I mean.... This was a mistake right? Surely they were just trying on some glamour before they entered and they were going to switch when we started the dungeon...
    Honestly won't know because they D/c'd after 5-10 mins of being stuck in the little force field thingy at the start so we couldn't finish our DR:Ex anyway.

    As far as a stat check is concerned - I think there should be a "minimum weapon iLvl" check as well.. Weapon damage just accounts for far too much, regardless what role you are playing.
    If you're a DPS, your damage is rubbish.
    If you're a Tank, you can't hold hate.
    If you're a Healer, your heals do very little and your nukes hit like a wet noodle.

    You shouldn't be able to inflate your iLvl passed the DF if your weapon is trash because it just means too much.

    As far as actual substats - I don't think that is necessary.. Though I can see a main-stat check considering as a DPS you can toss on a whole bunch 270 of Mind or Vit accessories just to inflate your iLvl.
