According the the Guild Wars 2 official wiki Gear stats are not supposed to be down scaled when going into a lower leveled area. However I have a level 62 Guardian that is sitting at roughly 700 defense from armor, but it gets scaled down to 352.
Is this bugged or was this changed at some point and the wiki didn’t get updated?

Can you link the page?

I think all attributes are downscaled whenever they are from equip or not.

It seems to be working as intended. Downscaling would make no sense it gear wouldn’t be affected.

“Dynamic level adjustment reduces a character’s attributes and level when the character’s level exceeds the area he or she is in. "

It mean all attributes are scaled whenever they come from gear or not.

If you mean "Skills and equipment are retained, so the area is easier because of this, but should still be challenging to play. "

it’s probably referring to fact that higher equip increase 3 stats rather then 1 or 2. There are also traits and skills unavailable at that lvl. They higher equip is also rarer. If you use all exotic, at lvl 30 area you would be scaled to theoretical lvl31 full exotic equip and not full blue or green.

I see, I guess I was reading it the wrong way. I wish it would scale a little bit better, I miss feeling like a kitten in some situations. I understand wanting to keep it challenging, but I wish it was possible to solo champions when you are more then twice the level. I don’t mean just come in and just hit it a couple of times and die. To actually be able to stand toe to toe with one would be nice.
