Ok, so noticed something wrong.

I just did my roulette and ended up in a 70 trial. my addlo seemed the same as when i was lvl 80 so i tested, just to compare the number.

As a lvl 70, level sync so no materia, my addlo were basically 9200-9400.

As a lvl 80, ilvl 341 full melded.... i basically do the same !

I have 10 more level and 31 more Ilvl. My weapon have +7 magic damage. Why the hell is my addlo doing exactly the same as when i'm lvl 70 ?

This is how the scaling works in this game. I remember in HW's launch showing that having two characters at 50 and 60 with precisely the same gear, the level 50's pet actually embraced for significantly more.

To drastically over simplify things, it's like a sliding scale that uses your item level relative to your actual character level. As you level up, the scaling gets ever worse to try and slow down the pace of stat inflation.

So my lvl 70/400 gear should last till 80 w/o major repercussions?

If you think that's weird, just wait until ilvl jumps up towards the end of the expansion. The other healers will be complaining again that our fairy heals for too much, it's always been like this. On release of an expac our fairies embrace is basically garbage and by the end of the expansion the fairy can almost solo heal entire dungeons with just embrace.

Even with them knocking her down 50 potency on her new spaz heal?

They literally do that every expansion. Seriously. They did it in Heavensward, they did it again in Stormsblood, and once more in Shadowbringers, and it's never buffed. Embrace scales very well with party ilvl increase, so they keep knocking it down at the start of every expansion to compensate.

Don't expect them to stop until embrace deals -50 potency so that the fairy can kill itself.

Wasn't that basically the start of Stormblood when they took out Sustain and somehow also removed whatever damage reduction effect pets had at the same time?
