The nerf people are overlooking

[bob13bob]

it is a nerf. I'm a new paladin and ilevel ifrit hard mode is overkill for a pretty easy fight.

WP/AK actually much harder with normal geared party. It's easy to forget when you're speed running way overgeared. They're making it easier though, and Ifrt as well. Farming Castrum for phil to get i70 is putting the cart before the horse and super boring.

If anyone was being carried it's the players who started earlier could speed run these places pre patched. Pat yourself on the back for easy mode.

The way it worked in Tera was if you df'd for content you had to meet the iLvl requirements for the dungeons u qued up for because you didn't meet the required iLvl number you couldn't add a dungeon to your selection que because it would be greyed out until you did meet the iLvl for it, but if you went with a premade you didn't have to meet iLvl requirements because you entered the dungeon with a premade and directly at the dungeon's entrance. Perhaps it will be like that here.

Point was it's been allowed for so long that implementing this change now is kind of ... too little too late. If this was going to be the policy it kind of should have been here already.

A nerf is a nerf, is a nerf. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad one. But a nerf nonetheless.

It is not a nerf for those who enter DF dungeons appropriately geared and have been getting saddled with under geared players expecting to get carried. It's a buff.

That said, I have actually never had that problem, though I have FC mates who have.

So I don't have to spend an extra half-hour carrying people with all ilvl 30-40 jewelery through AK anymore? Sweet tits. Won't have to deal with nearly as many morons who can't even hit the damn mobs. Will be nice to see people actually putting forth effort for their rewards now, too.

The only problem I have with this is that it is being added this late to the game to existing content. If anything most of the damage has already been done. I don't care if new dungeons come with gear requirements, but old content with new requirements just seems that new players will be more at disadvantage than "seasoned" players.

Rushed through titan with my AF gear, GC weapon, and i45 accesories. Pass through heart phase and never die in every duty finder group and eventually cleared it.
You just need good players, including yourself.

Whatever.

As a dpser I can see that as a possibility as long as you avoided everything you can avoid. However, if all the other dps players had GC weapons the group would not have been able to pass the dps check during the heart phase, so you were still carried. Now, tanking Titan HM with a GC weapon is perfectly doable (I did it because after 60 or so Ifrit/Garuda runs the RNG still hated me), but I also did it with full DL armour. For a tank on Titan HM it's an armour check, not a weapon check.
