Yeah as a tank the whole gear is useless though -> less armor, less vita even the slot does not comprehend it. The new jewellery with inc healing is far superior
That's really specific to tanks though. Tanks and Might healers got superbly statted new jewelry and tanks care about armour. That's why they mostly wear new stuff

Not true..most of the classes wear quite a bit old stuff. There's basically 7 different ways to gear a character (Tank, Might DPS, Agi DPS, Will DPS, LM, Might heal, Will heal)
Most classes need the essence slots because gear is stated badly and Essences allow for better stat balance. Might and Agi DPS get too much Finesse and not enough Mastery, Will DPS gets too much Fate and not enough Finesse, LM has barely any useful gear and likes Essence slots over pretty much anything, Will healers barely have any gear with OGH and crit and therefore like essence slots, might healers have no armour with useful stats and therefore like essence slots

Increasing the gear lvl would make old gear balanced for tanks but OP for everyone else. I'd much rather play new rather than old content for gear. Right now it's okay, but even more focus on old stuff would be bad
