Done Doma and Abania just as easily at i270 too with all 3 roles.

The DEF number comparisons mean nothing without actually knowing how much damage reduction the higher numbers result in. I can tell you for a fact it's not as much as you're making it out to be.

There's a reason why Foresight is one of our weakest tank cooldowns, despite being what looks like it would be a significant boost at +20% DEF. It just doesn't stack up to the straight up damage reduction offered by other tank cooldowns.

So overall for ilv285 you have
-122 weapon damage
-1538 defense
-2685 magic defense
-980 vit
-1506 main stat
-2464 secondary stats

Now lets compare shall we overall by remaining in ilv270 gear you lose
-8 weapon damage
-619 defense
-1080 magic defense
-60 vit
-206 main stat
-799 secondary stats

All this can be carried over to caster dps as well

You were a hindrance to any party you were in with that gear in Abania and i feel sorry for anybody you were grouped with when you did it you caused unnecessary stress on your healer(when you weren't healing) and doing far weaker damage than you should have been by a significant amount 8 Weapon damage is huge, 206 main stat is huge, 799 secondary stats is huge.
