MSQ Difficulty and Exclusion

[ForteNightshade]

You're talking about going into casual content completely overgeared and thinking it's too easy. No one runs the MSQ at max ilvl for dungeons. If you think it's boring you can just not run those roulettes and dungeons.

... you can't overgear leveling dungeons, my dude. At least not the Endwalker ones where we're synced pretty much on par with what's expected and don't have the benefit of power creep. Which is another issue with older content. Ilvl doesn't mean much when the jobs simply aren't balanced whatsoever. Even at ilvl, Endwalker don't require the slightest bit of healing outside of Tower of Zot's massive pull. The tanks simply have too much sustain. When I mention tanks solo-ing bosses, they were doing that at level, on release. I should know. I was one of them. I solo'd Hermes in a hodgepodge of 80-85 gear. He never once got me below 15k.

There were even threads complaining about how insanely strong tanks are when Endwalker released. This isn't simply an ilvl problem, though I'll admit ilvl sync is a problem. Frankly, I think content should be synced closer to its relevant ilvl so things like Weeping City and Rabanastre aren't a shell of themselves. Hashmal used to actually have several mechanics we almost never see even in particularly bad parties.
