    The example still works just fine in context of everyone that says "all they need to do is adjust potencies" or "just scale the numbers."

    There is no scaling here. The skill is literally "restore all HP." Sure, at low levels, small HP pools, there's probably a dozen skills that will do the same thing, all from varying levels.

    But the point remains, it serves as an example, and only just one, of a skill that doesn't rely on any potencies, and couldn't be easily scaled.
    The point remains that this suggestion is never as simple as everyone making it seems to think. When the devs' clear intent is to keep a level and balanced playing field in synced duty content, it's never going to work to have players with access to more and varied skills than the newer players they may be paired with.
    By my point is simply the fact that benediction is so weak WHM could have it at level 1 and it would change nothing. Because the skill isn’t worth anything.

    I get your point is “you can’t scale infinite HP restoration” but benediction is literally the only skill that functions like this (RIP ARR lustrate) and it’s so weak in the grand scheme of things it’s literally meaningless to even consider it as a noticeable factor

    All other skills either scale from potency or from health of the user/target.

    Hallowed Ground

    I was not limiting my examples to healing only. It just serves as the most obvious.

    This game has (if i counted right) 99 dungeons. 12 of those are below level 50, which means those 12 are the only dungeons where both Bene and Hallowed are not available. And with how fast you skip level 1-50 already anyhow, i am not sure if there is an argument to be made here. Skills like Nascent Flash are actually worse, but Nascents self heal in dungeons is already ridiculous, if we are all honest.

    But also - we are not game designers. it is not our job to find a solution that works, that is what we pay Square Enix for. I'm sure a skilled game designer would have a few tools at hand to resolve the issue in a more satisfying way than what we have now.
