I've been in the same situation as the OP; I was healer monk in a PUG in Thirsty River, and one guy was taking enormous amounts of damage. I did my best, but he died 2-3 times during the mission. I don't know exactly what that guy was wearing, but it was Lions Arch or earlier armor.
But I mean, what can you do?

I'd like to know why AL 50 armor can be purchased in Ascalon, and there isn't anything better until you get all the way to Quarrel falls. The Denravi again has another step up. Two missions then another armor increase at Amnoon. Yet the two collectors in Amnoon have better offerings than the crafter, but both require items you're no where near being able to aquire. What genius came up with that ludicrous series of events?

I would of asked to view it in the trade window to see if it was presearing or a higher al.I still and alway will like the ringmail and collectors armor and that goes for the rest ofthe professions.I used Ascalon untill I got my Forge armor.

Where did most but their absorbtion runes though on the top and leggings or just one piece as I had mine on both with no vigor?

There's no point to having more than one rune of the same type unless you're 55'ing it up.

The Whole armor collectors is stupid, it does'nt really make sense untill the jungle, and then the collectors are so far out of the way, nobody can get to them.

It does sort of make sense in the desert, as most of the collectors are near the towns, and all of my characters have the desert set wich is the same as base Droks, along with Droks. So you get the stuff for the collector, farm or buy, you ascend and get a good set of Droks and keep the collector for show, that about it.

You can also get ring mail armor from collectorsaround droknars forge. but im not sure if it looks like pre-searing armor.

well if they are not gonna run it then ffs buy armor along the way...actually experience the game apposed to doing whatever they are

being half assed is just annoying

hmmmm I seem to recall that you can look at armor in town.

Warrior: Can I get in?
Monk: Let me see your armor....that looks like beginner Ringmail.
Warrior: Its crafted
Monk: Really show me in Trade window
Warrior: ...Trade window
Monk: the button that says trade
Warrior:.....uhhh I can't show you cause its customized
Monk: I can't wear it but I can see it
Warrior: .......uhhh ok (shows armor)
Monk: It has starter armor stats.
Warrior:.....ya about that well you see.... (runs to different distict)

Using collector's one form desert until I get Factions. Factions warrior armor is nice. I never liked Gladiator's or platemail that much. The only one I sort of liked was knight's but that has horrid stats due to the absorption issue.
