Post 2.1: A consistent way to level?

[Insidious]

It's pretty much come down to do your once-a-day duty roulette and battleleves. Don't even try fate grinding.

Yea the scaling of fates really extends the fate itself. As I said before, if the fate is killed with X amount and you come back with less than a quarter of that amount? Don't even bother trying to solo it, you're get blown up. Even with a full party or 2, if it isn't the same amount as the previous kill, you may not be able to complete the fate. This also plays hell with the timed fates that include escorts or protection because those will inevitably fail as no one will be able to make it to them in time or protect them if they do.

I just don't understand why some people have such a hate for them. It's another way to level and tends to be more social than dungeons.

Just do DFR while lvl, the exp reward are not bad

If you had read the majority of this thread, you would see people (mainly dps) are having issues with the roulette system. You do it once, get the bonus xp and then you're done...unless you run it on your 50 for tomes, then you don't get any bonus at all on a lower class/job you are leveling. Dungeons are the same thing as fates, after so many you may want to level another way. Also, if you get a member who refuses to listen and just does their thing your experience can be extended or include a good amount of wipes. Anyway, as I said before dungeons just feel slower to level. Until I see xp/hr from someone or figure it out myself I won't say that for sure, but it does feel that way.
