The GMs have explicitly said that the server's development isn't focused/balanced on high end raiders alone, but for everyone.
-edit- Just to clarify, I have the defensive ring

So how do you overcome the problem which Volgar mentions above?
The only direct solution I can think of is either:
A.) bring more DPS to shorten the fight (a wiz or two? lol)
B.) instead of 1 tank... you bring two
Like I pointed out, we shouldn't really be relying on item clickies. I didn't like that idea when I started on the server, too many clickies&effects... it steals the utility of other classes. The defensive ring is suppose to be an "oh crap, my disc dropped, this named is tougher than I thought" last resort thingy... not something that you use and rely on ALL the time. It trivializes tough or long back-back fights.
