Level Sync feels worse every expansion

[Atreus]

Why not? With the correct multiplier it wouldn't matter what potency is at all. You can make the final damage number anything you want it to be.

Because if you use a flat percentage that applies to everything and is designed to dampen your 60 or 120 second bursts, then your basic combo is going to end up being trash compared to anyone who isn't synced. It also may inadvertently target people who are just barely over level and don't have the abilities to make up for it. I just think traits for every 10 levels will also be better for future-proofing further expansion drops.

If the aim is to bring down the average DPS to what's appropriate rather than cap maximum DPS I'd think this would be OK. Normal combo would be a little low on damage while bursts would be a little high. The percentage would also have to adjust for how large of a level gap exists, so anyone just over the sync point won't have a large changed applied.

If DPS curves must be flattened out, then potency adjustments make sense, though I feel like it would be more work to add and upkeep. Then again it's only going to be a major problem at really low levels anyway.
