gear is only as important as the content / era youre fighting. if youre trying to tank higher end SoF zones, or want to in the short term, then you'd need to gear for it. however if you want to aa yourself up before you make the push to 80, you can do that with what youre wearing. i would avoid the lure of leveling to unlock gear, if you enjoy the xp bonus. there will always be better gear in every slot, its more an excersize in self control to keep yourself at the level to maximize that xp bonus you wont really parallel further along. if i were to start over, and i wanted to grind my aa's out early, i'd probably only linger at 71 for the most important ones, and then push for 80 and get the rest while grouping. this of course depends on class. the most likely candidate of my characters for this would be my wizard. there's really only one aa line they need above all else, crits, both frequency and potency. after i'd finished that, even though i'd be far from the max, i'd probably willingly level up, being that my goal would be to get the minimum aa's trained to be useful, useful being the key word, not maxed out.
