GEAR Score: get it right Devs

It's called GEAR score. Notice the emphasis on the first word: GEAR.
So why in the seven heavens dropping TWO ranks of Toughness (6% more hp) decrease my GEAR score of about 350 points? It makes no sense.
You have 2 options to make it right:
1) you make it count only the GEAR and not your HP and your temporary buffs;
2) you change its wording, how it works and call it "Character score" but doing so you must include also WEAPON AND ARMOR ENCHANTMENTS, Run speed and whatever other silly thing our character can have (excluding stupid stuff like Exp and Gold gain, Movement is actually much more usefull than those two).
Sincerely, a new player that just respecced into a better build with the loss of 350 GS. (And no, I wouldn't care at all about those 350 points if every single player in the server would stop looking for 11k+ GS char)

The bottom line is that the entire gs system is a joke and anyone who really knows how to play the game, knows that. When I'm looking for a group, I just say "Anyone need an awesome tank for their group?"
I've had no problem getting a group and have definitely had no complaints at the end of dungeons after I took aggro from 95% of everything the entire time.
Consider yourself no longer an "elite."
You are now a commoner, a noobie.
You will be ok.
/pats you on the head
It should count the stats of the player that are important for the role they are doing and weighted appropriately (and it should also ignore temporary buffs from potions etc)
Gearscore is not a measurement of your gear or your character.
It's a measurement of how large your e-peen is.
Mine is 15k and it's one of the bigger ones out there, so I must know what I'm talking about.
Don't give me that HAMSTER about gear or character score. When it is actually e-peen size measurement.
Combat arena. Adjustable challenge.
Difficulty: Adjustable easy - very hard
Duration: Adjustable 1 - 25min
E-peen? Elite? Me? Did you read the part where I said I wouldn't care at all if actually the requirement to join a party wasn't 10k at minimum? Maybe some of you need a lesson on how to read everything.
Snowballo: that is exactly my point, thanks. GS is nothing but an e-peen measurement. That is why it should either re-worked to actually measure you GEAR SCORE e-peen or you can get rid of it completely.
@ironzerg:
Looks like someone missed the whole point of my thread (what a news, right?). Characters' effective stats? Sorry, it's called
> GEAR <
score, not character's score. Do you see my point now?
@lashes
Another one of those players asking 11k + GS to run a Karrundax probably. Didn't even bother to read the whole point of the thread.
Amusing.
Tested this myself and seems to be correct
This also seems to be the reason GF can reach such high amount of GS because of their defense and health values.
However i'm not a part of PWE and can't handle any questions regarding your personal details or account.
Please respect the forum ToS and keep a nice manner towards your fellow adventurers!

What set are you using? If you're using a decent enough set for tanking, it'd be good to know about what gearscore a full tank GF has.
Exactly. It shouldn't be called GEAR score or it should be reworked to actually count only the gear. It's the whole point of the thread.
(if they would eliminate it at all, I bet many people would be happier but I don't think it's going to happen soon)
omg this just made my day, you are so right why care about GS
Upgraded from two sets of 2, to a full set of 4 (Which you'd think is the goal with end-game gear) and dropped around 600 GS.
