Gear Truncation Needs to be Fixed

[Daralii]

I think they need to fix scaling overall in old content to preserve the difficulty to what it was closer to release.

They've pruned or fundamentally altered so much of the low level kits that getting anywhere close to the on-content experience would be borderline impossible. That plays a much bigger role than how bad the downscaling is.

Gearing is perfect. They can so no wrong. Literally best devs in the world.

Would it really be impossible?

I understand it might require some effort, but if the developers analyzed the DPS output of each role at every level—regardless of individual job kits—and normalized it, wouldn’t that make a significant difference?

I know that job kits matter a lot. For example, as a White Mage, I recently gained access to a dash ability that’s incredibly helpful and fun, even in older content. But I think if the damage output across roles were reasonably close, it would at least make roulettes and synced content feel more balanced and enjoyable.
