i'd have to agree. even though there aren't many dungeon options at lower levels, the minimum requirements for lancers are just -too- low. i find it that the DPS characters aren't affected nearly as much by this, but the you (the tank) and the healer ultimately suffer because you can't hold aggro long enough (because of taking too much damage) -> priest picks up aggro -> dies -> party fail. lancers should be warned about running instances with the minimum gear reqs. so that players don't think that the class just sucks.
in fact, everyone who enters an instance with minimum gear reqs. should receive a popup message stating: "are you sure you want to enter? you've met the requirement but the instance may still be too difficult for you at this time."
save us the trouble~
is anyone finding the min. requirements a bit too low for dungeons as a lancer. it's fine for dps or healers since they aren't taking damage like the tank.
like first time I ran cultists refuge at 26 with the minimum item level the I got destroyed, died every boss even on 2 trash pulls. so I leveled to 28 and picked up a few more gear pieces before going again and it went much smoother.
you're fighting +3 level mobs if you join at the first level possible, I'm not sure if boss mobs get crit bonuses if they are +your level or not.
I waited till 43 to run necromancers tomb and even out geared it by 8 item points and even then I was getting hammered on some of the bosses I would have been dead if I was lower leveled and less geared.
