Please Rework Low Level Tank/DoW Gear

[YjhemeiIzunia]

One of the biggest QoL changes on my wishlist is for low level Tank and Disciple of War gear to be reworked so that auto-equip works better for low level tanks. Currently, auto equip will equip DPS gear to tanks, resulting in very squishy tanks. This is a big headache for new players since they have to both know that auto-equip doesn't work right, know the difference between Tank and DPS armor, and manually equip the best tank armor they have.

I'm not picky about how it is accomplished, auto-equip should work for low level tanks by equipping the most defensive armor they have available.

Does this actually matter these days? The DoW often has the same defense stats as tank gear, so if a DoW and actual tank item have the same stats, don't they work on Tanks?

They made Tank specific ARR gear and DoW-generic gear identical in defense in Endwalker if I'm not mistaken, so it doesn't matter anymore. Physical DPS are crazy tough sub lvl50 because of this now.

Did they update stats? I feel like some tanks are still really fragile at low level. I had to spam Cure II just to keep the tank alive in a half pull. Could it just be they had that low of an item level? They also managed to have some gear with Mind on it, which suggests they had an item meant for healers equipped somehow.
