Difficulty of ARR trials

[Hasrat]

Pretty sure Westwind is a somewhat special case that doesn't sync very well (or at all?), so everyone is way overpowered for it. The "Hard" versions of the primals, going in synced, probably still require some measure of attention to mechanics.

Yeah. Cape Westwind is tuned to be doable by level 49 players, but seems to sync players at level 50 i130.
Other ARR trials are not as difficult as they once were but won't be burned quite as fast as Cape Westwind.

Yeah. Looked into it, and that's the real kicker. Effectively has to allow for level 49 players, which will largely only have access to i49-ish gear. But also allows level 50 players in i130-ish gear. There's probably not a single duty in the game that will allow for such an incredibly wide range of stats, comparably speaking.

Might be exaggeration. But given the results, idunno.

There is - Castrum Meridanium and Praetorium. Minimum ilvl of 45.
They are designed for level 50 players, but fresh level 50s who have not yet had a chance to get any of the tomestone gear, and who are unlikely to wear anything better than the ilvl50 gear from their level 45/50 class quests. (No, not the ilvl 90 gear - when ARR was released, you did not get that from your level 50 class quest, only from later level 50 dungeons.)
