How is ilvl an issue while leveling?

and it also means DPS will probably need to intentionally play poorly (Level 68-69 weapon > Level 60 weapon) just so they don't rip hate and force the healer to work even harder.

A 270 ilvl weapon can hold aggro against any dps no matter how good they are through all of SB's leveling dungeons. It's basically impossible to lose hate with how insane threat modifiers are.

Not that it's my proudest moment, but I've done Abania in full i270 as a PLD (WAR and DRK are ez-mode aggro wise) with friends who know their SB rotations in and out. So long as the tank doesn't try to min-max his dps at that low of an ilvl, dps hate will never be an issue.

Not that I advocate going into Abania at ilvl 270, It just irks me when people say aggro is an issue when threat modifiers are so insane it's near-impossible to lose aggro if you're actually trying to hold it. Not holding hate with a 270 weapon is a skill issue on the tank's part, not an ilvl issue. Of course a higher ilvl weapon will make it easier, but it can still be easily done with i270, the tank just has to not be asleep when it comes to aggro management.
