Suggestion: There needs to be an average item level check for Garuda (Hard)

I personally hope they find an alternative to "Your numbers must be this high to ride". Gear does not equal knowledge/skill.

A minimum of item level 55 would not be too unfair. AF is iLevel 55 if I recall correctly.

I agree 100% that gear does not equal skill, but there are fights where even the most skilled players cannot progress simply because it is a 'gear' check (DPS race).

Only chest piece is iLevel 55, the other parts are 45, so it would be a bit unfair.

Even 45 is fine, wearing gear for half your level is outrageous.

A lower level of skill/knowledge would be allowed if your gear could take some of the pressure off.

Though I completely agree with your statement, I'll still have to say that players with knowledge/skill wouldn't be bringing iLvl 30 gear into a level 50 Hardmode encounter in the first place. So once you see someone being severely undergeared in a fight like this, you can usually safely discard the presumptiom that this player may have excellent knowledge/skill to make for the gear gap.
