"Disciple of War" gear is not the gear you should be wearing at low levels.Yes, you can equip it, however it is statted for Melee DPS, not tanks. Tank gear is specifically labeled, with all of the tank jobs. Its the difference between medium armor and heavy. If its the highest piece of gear you have, then you need to go to a gear vendor and buy new stuff.
For example, if you have similar HP to your dps you are putting a lot of extra work on your healer. You are also losing out on more overall damage and valuable defenses. If you feel like you have been doing fine with DoW gear on a tank up to now, its because youve played with good healers. Your dungeon runs will go a lot smoother, and quicker, if you can let those good healers do their damage instead of covering for your improper gear.
Players who are experienced with other jobs, but not tanks, tend to give an excuse of 'Its low level, that wont change anything'. If you hold this opinion, you need to play much better to compensate. If you really think you can pull wall to wall without proper gear and mitigation skills, then do not be surprised when your healer gets upset.
If you are new to tanking, you should care about having the best possible gear you can. The reasoning for this is it allows you to make mistakes, and learn. I would hope that is your expectation if you are coming into tanking fresh, especially as a low level character. If you wear proper gear, you are already leaving yourself in a better position than most.
