"Need" should check ilevel

This is sort of semantics.

But your argument is just hypothetical situations. You don't NEED the stat increase from Ifrit to Garuda to beat Titan. A competent party with all ifrit weapons has more than enough DPS to take down heart. Everything else is subjective to the people in your party and if they suck or not (or are entirely undergeared.. which usually go hand in hand).

Ut! I didn't know your examples were all based on actual events. Pulling out this super focused example expanding to make a statement about all gear and ragging on me for using 'hypotheticals' is pretty silly. Yeah maybe in this super limited example you don't need a Garuda weapon over an Ifrit weapon, but are you saying you should actually pass on Ifrit weapons so new players can get that gear? Somehow I think you're probably not saying that.
