As an example, intricate armor, which fills all 8 primary armor slots, the level 60 version, (which can drop off shit jugs and reets) has stats in the 100-150 hp/mana range, along with a ton of misc bonuses, which is comparable to Early PoP raid loot. I'm fairly sure slightly weaker versions of Defiant drop in Vanilla EQ, which would give +50 - 80hp bonuses, which are comparable to Luclin loot.
Dungeon rares in Vanilla/Kunark/Velious are completely outclassed by defiant. No one will camp for anything that cannot beat Defiant. The only thing stopping Defiant from completely ruining the game is that it is bind-on-equip, and it is rare.
