    Honestly, I think the only minimum requirement that needs to be added is for weapon ilevel. As long as your weapon is up to par, you can get away with a lot of stuff. If your weapon is bad, even with really good gear elsewhere, you're not going to perform up to par. I will always remember the BRD who did so little damage in Baelsar's wall despite doing okay with the rotation and having i250-260 gear in every slot except their weapon because it was only i190. That was a painfully slow run that could have been avoided with a single item upgrade. It didn't help either that the BRD took offense to being told they should upgrade their weapon since their damage was low. Their response was their ilevel was well above the minimum needed. Well, yes, but your damage is being gutted because your weapon is so much lower than the rest of your gear.

    Yes, and no. If you are a tank, your gear should also be up to par because of the defense attribute (and vitality). Healers and DPS, yeah you can kind of get away with only your weapon being on level, and the rest 5~7 levels below the dungeon’s level, but for tanks it’s equally as important that your left side (at the least) be relatively close to your current level, and your weapon. Weapon is most important for holding hate/damage; gear is most important for surviving/not making your healer absolutely hate you.
