QoL Suggestion: Please change how buffs are removed when undergoing Level Sync.

[Bojack]

I hate to always compare things to FFXI, but if I recall correctly in XI when you Level Synced you only lost buffs from abilities/spells that would have been learned at a higher level then you are Level Syncing to.

For Example, if you are a level 44 Paladin and you have Sword Oath active when you Level Sync down to level 38 you shouldn't lose the Sword Oath buff because at level 38 you still have access to the ability and know how to use it. I can understand if it was Shield Oath and I synced to 38 because that's below the level Shield Oath is learned.

In short, if I Level Sync for a FATE and I am still at a high enough level to use the Ability in question then I should not lose the buff granted from that Ability.

It's a small thing, but just recently began to annoy me with the amount of FATEs I've been doing because of the Yokai Watch event.

This would be a welcome change. I know I got annoyed having to turn Cleric Stance back on for every FATE when I was doing the event on my healing classes.

[TaleraRistain]

Yes please! Why do I lose Protect, Stoneskin, and Cleric Stance when I should have access to all of those??

[FinaSel]

I completely agree. As a healer, it is very tiring to put back on Cleric Stance. I often forget.
And put poison on my weapons again as a Rogue.

[Culfinrandir]

Support this completely. I've never understood why I should lose buffs going from lvl 60 to lvl 57 (say) when I'd theoretically have all those buffs anyway. The whole Cleric Stance thing is just lunacy in my opinion.

[seekified]

I agree wholeheartedly. Take the anima crystal grind, for instance - I have to make sure I re-activate Deliverance/Defiance/Cleric Stance/Kiss for every single FATE, or my performance suffers needlessly.

Tweaking stoneskin to readjust its value to your new level might be awkward, but definitely agree for all the rest. I've made it a point to check players in df for stances and mention it if something seems off, but it'd be nice not to need to, and some people get annoyed at it being mentioned even if we've gone through a full pull without them having their nin/mnk/ast/tank stances up.

I sent this suggestion via in game suggestions numerous times with no change so far. So I fully agree with it here!! lol

please and ty!
