Thread: [Dev] ilevel to enter a DF is not enough. ALL DF need requrements. 4.0 reminder.

That particular attack does a considerable amount of damage even WITH appropriate level gear if not mitigated.

The healer/DPS that gets targetted generally loses 50-75% of their HP without an Adlo or stoneskin even with moderate gear. It is considerably worsened when not in appropriate gear.

Though don't get the impression I disagree (hah you even quoted one of my posts in your OP).
I still think not gear-locking instances ESPECIALLY by weapon iLvl is a huge mistake.

If they didn't want to make the system confusing by having both a minimum gear and minimum weapon iLvl in separate instances, they absolutely need to adjust the weighting on what slots provide a higher iLvl average.

Weapon should weigh the heaviest and effect average iLvl the most. Followed by Body & Pants... Then Head/Gloves/Feet.. and then finally accessories.
It's a rather large oversight that I can upgrade my Ring and get the same boost to my average iLvl than I would after upgrading my weapon.

Someone who has full i270 right side and i100 left side should not weigh the same as someone who has full i270 left and i100 right.
