Not being elitist or anything, but in my mind if my job is to take damage, one should try to obtain the best armour available for their level :/ In the same way that a dps character with a very outdated weapon is a poor dps. And maybe it's just my server, but I see a *ton* of tanks in scale. Hardly anyone uses the plate or "heavy" plate gear. Just seems odd and I was curious if I was missing something
Questing for some reason gives very little tank suitable armor it's all mostly damage stuff. Most times when I get a new quest reward the def is much lower than a piece I got 5 or more levels ago. Any instances I've run I think three times tank stuff dropped. Quest itemisation have been poorly done.
