You are trolling if you are not using essences and actions in Delubrum

This.

Another way of looking at it: Would you do dungeons without your gear? Would you do any other content without your gear?

In bozja, everyone has the same stats, no matter what gear you wear. The only way you have to get past a baseline that is beneath the previous expansion's levels, is to use essences and lost actions, and these put you at the equivalent potential as Shadowbringers BiS or better.

Your essences and lost actions *are* your gear in Save the Queen.

Would you do dungeons without your gear?

If I had to buy/farm a new set of gear after every run then yea, if the game let me queue without it, and we could still clear the content, I eventually would.
