GearScore: T2 lower GS than T1?

I've just recieved my Tier 2 Chest piece, replacing my Tier 1. However, with the same Gem equipped, I lost 251 points off my gear-score. I'm suspecting that this is because I'm breaking my 2 piece bonus of T1, a loss of 400 power. Anyone have any idea what may be going on? This is incredibly frustrating as groups require certain Gear-score ratings to attend T2 dungeon delves. Though, to my benefit, it's not as though they can check. I'm above the required minimum set in place by the game... I could always lie I suppose.

Here's screenshots:

    You kinda answered your own question. You are losing 400 power by putting the better chest piece on. Of course your stats are gonna go down, you didnt think your new piece was gonna add more than that 400 did you?

    Now if you wanna look at just how much that piece adds on its own, take off your gloves (that match the t1 chest for the 400 power bonus) then swap the 2 pieces in and out.

    As to lying to get into groups, they'll either notice by inspecting you (they cant find your exact number, but its not hard to look at a persons gear and get a rough guess) or they'll notice as the run goes when its not as smooth as they want, or you'll do good enough that they wont care

    You lost gear score there because of the loss of the set bonus

    I figured that the loss in power was the cause of the gear-score decrease, but I wasn't sure of it. Though, I highly doubt 400 power is going to make or break a run. I'll simply hold on to the T2 piece until I get another piece.

    GS in this game is bugged and basically useless for measuring anything of worth. I can STACK any random attribute and have a monster gs.
