ffxiv royal menagerie trial Normal

[BillyKaplan]

Something I noticed is people go into this trial without having done their level 70 job quests. Not only are these people missing parts of their kit that could really help in that fight (PLD's wings which negate damage, BLM's Foul which works like a charm during the adds phase, to name two examples), but are very likely effectively under-geared as chances are they didn't get a full set of 300 pieces out of Ala Mhigo after that one MSQ run, and on top of that are missing the 290 gear from the job quests.

Here's what I suggest - raise the ilvl requirement. Not a lot, just enough so that people won't be able to access this trial without getting those 290 pieces from the job quest, which also guarantees they'll have those extra skills. Or outright lock that fight behind a requirement that you did the level 70 job quest for the job you're queueing as. Because I think, it might be just me, but I think this fight may have been balanced with those skills in mind.
