Steps of Faith needs an ilevel raise...

[Viridiana]

Yes, but having ilevel 90 gear means you have barely done much of anything yet. You were literally carried through some of the dungeons. That is a nice way of saying it.

It's actually pretty presumptuous. If the player is putting in their fair share, they're not being carried.

[kyuven]

Does the OP seriously think raising the ilvl requirement is going to make the situation any better? Damage comes from the cannons, all attacks can be dodged or stunned. Even if the ilvl requirement was bumped to 130, nothing would change.

This is totally false!
The queue times would increase >_<

[Tiggy]

I don't completely disagree. However, of you see an i90 dps and are concerned there are this lovely Canon's you could put them on so I'm not convinced with that specific argument. That said I do believe the dps check to be somewhat above i90. 100 would be good imo.

[Dawnshade]

A player's ilevel is sadly not proportional to their capacity to comprehend and execute mechanics. I've seen i90ish people fare better than some players around i120.

If the ilvl was even 120 the clear rate wouldn't go up much. Since a lot of people aren't even using their gear because they doing cannons or whatnot.

Like all story battles it will eventually have echo that can go up to 50% make it so you could miss every arrow and not use cannons and win.

That isn't going to happen in this trial.

The echo was a gift from Hydaelyn so to speak. Midgardsormr made it so we can no longer receive this power, at least for anything that's based after his fight time wise.

We still have the Echo. What Midgardsormr took from us was the blessing we received at the end of the 2.0 story-line.

No, we don't, he specifically said that we were disconnected from her now. Like at the end of 2.55:

When Hydaelyn spoke out to Minfilia, we never heard her voice because Midgardsormr disconnected us completely from her.

Either way. OP has seemingly already fled this thread and running up crap in others. So may as well let it sink.

He removed the blessing we received from Hydaelyn. You can tell this from the crystals we collected in 2.0 dimming out. These aren't related to the Echo.

Nope, we still have the echo. What we lost was the blessing of light (circle thing with the crystals) because it was draining/killing hydaelyn. The japanese text says that more clearly than the english one.

Here's a better (fan made) translation of the dialogue
