Low level gear?

[Bodybagger]

learn to sit for med ticks, learn to play class more efficiently... a good player with no gear is better than a twinked to death bad player.... at least as far as casters go. Learn to time med ticks, learn to agro and fear kite, give your pet weapons, etc. etc.

All your gear will ever do for you is give you a large mana pool, which you won't need if you're playing efficiently.
