duty finder isn't there for you to spirit bond

[Marowit]

I went into CT as an iLVL 59 WAR yesterday to spirit bond a set of cobalt and HQ accessories with 2 i80 pieces (belt/legs) with a i90 weap.

Someone said, "Why are you trying to spirit bond in CT?!"
To which I replied, "I'm not trying, I'm doing."

I continued to main tank everything but King Behemoth (did giants) and my 3400 HP WHM and 3700 HP SCH didn't have any issues keeping me up. Because we didn't suck and didn't need i90 gear to do an i60 dungeon.

@OP - I can wear whatever gear I want to as long as I am following the spirit of the iLVL requirements. What is not cool is someone wearing a full set of i49 crafting gear in a dungeon lol. As long as the gear you are spirit binding is of the appropriate stats for your job and you meet the iLVL requirement, everything should be copacetic.

Good for you, you actually try and make an effort to not be a complete tool. So far in my experience you're one of a kind. I'm assuming you only read the first post, but if you read further you'll see while I still think it's annoying as fuck and you should be doing it on your own damn time and not gettign richer off me carrying your gimped self SBing a couple pieces that are actually meant for you isn't a terrible problem or anything someone can get in trouble for. Sadly in at least my experience so far no one uses proper gear and instead just grabs something that is the appropriate level for the materia they want.

I posted it back on like page 2 or 3, but I got a tank in Halatali HM who was using just enough real gear to reach 55 and then had everything else white gear that was for DPS classes. He gimped himself so hard with this gear he couldn't even take a couple hits from trash mobs and I ended up being a better tank as a monk. I also just had a monk who was again just at the requirement and instead of using lower level dps gear like you wore tanking gear for your tank they were in all grafting gear with GP and CP as the stats.

Again while it's annoying as fuck and I think you're being and selfish lazy making everyone else work harder because you want to bind in a dungeon it's not reportable or a "problem" the reportable stuff comes when you have tanks in DPS gear and you have dps and healers in crafting gear. i'm sure your group was a little annoyed, but at least you finished it without giving them too much trouble. Most people just equip whatever and dont care

Again while it's annoying as f*ck and I think you're being and selfish lazy making everyone else work harder because you want to bind in a dungeon

A. Work harder? What? Spend an extra 2 minutes in a dungeon? Hit Physick 3 more times? What do you mean? Are you saying you just spam Bootshine over and over if you are ina dungeon with all i95s, and you only use rotations and max dps when someone has bad gear? (I'm using hyperbole, please understand). My point is that no one has to "work harder," it make take an extra couple of minutes, but it shouldn't require any extra effort.

What does me being i59 matter if I can handle doing my job? Even if I am dps it will decrease my dps by some amount that may lengthen a boss fight by...I dunno, 120 seconds at the very most?

If the game says that having gear of XX iLVL is sufficient to complete the dungeon, and then you tell me I am lazy and selfish because I am wearing sufficient gear instead of using way way overpowered gear for the dungeon, I think you are wrong.

You are perceiving people to be leeching off of you because you are being a sheep and wearing super overpowered gear in dungeons that don't need it. While the people who are good players and want to make money are wearing appropriate gear of lower iLVL and still performing their jobs. I would argue that your priorities are backwards in your OP and a couple other additional posts, in that if you want a Halatali HM run with i90+ speed, you should go to PF. You should only expect from DF that everyone is going to be wearing the lowest possible gear.

Again, I agree people wearing crafting gear into dungeons is bull and that is something that should be fixed. But puh-lease, I am not lazy nor selfish for following the rules of the game. I didn't join DF and check the "easy mode overgeared" button.
