[shimm]

i have been playing 4 days now this is 5th day, I am a level 52 Summoner I went in crystal tower in a 24 party and got slaughtered twice i stood well away from the bosses still attacking but still got killed. so what i am asking is my level 53 cloth gear not good enough and how would i strengthen it.

All help greatly appreciated.

Lodestone tells me you wear grey level 47ish Gear. Yes, that's a little too bad for level 50 Alliance Raid. You can find better Gear with the merchants or Market Boards, or exchange tomestones of Poetics in Mor Dhona if you have them.

Also, do your Job Quests, they give good level 50 Gear. Always do those please.

I don't if it was your gear only, if you failed a mechanic, but if I had a tip for you as a range dps, don't stand too far away from the boss either for any type of content.
You won't avoid danger more by being really far away, especially because sometime you will have to run more.
But also, for your healers. Healers aoe have range. If you're out this range you won't get a single heal, including shields that might save you.

Also yes, do every of your job quest. Until lvl 70, it gives you some of your spell, so it's important, as well as some gear.
