Alluvion Skirmishes

[Rhonda]

When I read it originally I was thinking along the lines of the gear expected to be had was 119, while the events themselves would be more along the lines of newer Delve content. For instance, Alluvion Rala/Cirdas would be 122, Yorcia would be 125, and Ra'Kaznar would be 128. That said, you've a good point, it is somewhat worrying that the content will be too easy for Rala/Cirdas/Yorcia, and at the same time if the levels are so high then Ra'Kaznar would be nearly impossible thanks to the NMs we're likely to face. Thanks to that screenshot we have so far I expect Gallu, Botulus, Harpia, Mantid, Caturae, the new Caturae looking NM, and more, which with high EVA & DEF like the bosses in Delve... yeah, we're screwed.

Delve2 is already 128, featuring a variety of "tough" monster types, and is cleared regularly. I wouldn't consider their Evasion or Defense to be much of an impediment, either.

Didn't the devs say its aimed for people who have 119 gear from original skirmish? That says to me that its going to be easier than delve... otherwise it would be aimed at people who have delve 119 gear...

Good point. I hope they plan to make Alluvion Skirmishes at the 111 level harder than Delve1, at very least. Maybe that's a bit extreme but this game needs more challenges.

The only thing that worries me about the new skirmishes now that there are going to be mega bosses is that it is going to turn into shouts related to delve. It was bought up that the nice thing about skirmishes is that more jobs can go to them. With mega bosses being added, I am already starting to picture shouts. "{Alluvion Skirmish} {Do You Need It} Ochain/aegis pld, brd, whm, mnk. I just really don't want it to go back down to only 5 variety of jobs allowed to participate. I really hope I am wrong on this though. Because I have enjoyed all skirmishes for the most part.

What does adding bosses have to do with anything? Outer Ra'Kaznar shouts on Asura are typically MNK/SAM only. Unless the next patch changes job acceptance or these MB require a PLD tank, I'd consider Alluvion Skirmishes MNK/SAM only.
