Trials in patch 2.5

Why are all three trials being equal to or less than Shiva EX for their entry level?

Maybe cause they are fun battles and not meant to be taken as seriously as the extreme primals?

Maybe they felt like it.

Scared of playing with lower geared people?
Maybe that's where the true challenge lies.

Maybe because the max iLvl hasn't increased at all and they still want things to be accessible. It's not very wise to make it so that barely anyone can join because the iLvl is too high.

So you're saying some people that are willing to do new content aren't item level 100? (mind you this is still 30 levels off from the current cap) Because iLVL100 gear has been out since march of 2014. If you haven't been able to gather 12-13 pieces of gear that is ten months old by doing just about anything in the game, and then hand picking the piece you want, you might be progressing through the game wrong.

unless you dont bother with poetics, you should be close to 120...

Ramuh EX came out when the cap was iLVL 110. His entry is iLVL 85. That's a disparity of 15, which is acceptable I feel. The level disparity between these three new fights and the current iLVL cap is 35-40. This is a HUGE jump.

EDIT: Also that the fights are regressing.

stop crying. These are NOT extreme trials. 2 of them are namely story trail and hildibrand trial. Why would they have high ilevel requirement ?

I'm more curious about Odin as it was said to be an Ex trial, but I'll just enjoy it as it comes.

Remember that some people are new, and some might have returned from breaks, like myself.
I returned almost a month ago now and I had ilvl 93. Sure I have spend my time gear grinding and tome farming so I have 100+ now.
But I know, it must be hard to even imagine that anyone would be less than ilvl 100.

If you take a lengthy break from a game, should you expect to be able to do everything that's new all at once upon your return?
