    Any chance of not losing abilities when doing low level dungeons?

    I like helping people out in low level dungeons, but it is not very fun to lose so many fun abilities in the process of helping others. Maybe there could be a way to lower the overall damage/effectiveness of high level abilities when playing in low level dungeons?

    SO much fun with all the cool moves at 50. Then I go into a low level dungeon and I'm down to maybe 3 basic moves.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and keep up the great work. My partner and I are having a blast. This is the best mmo we have played since SWG shut down

    That's exactly why I find low level dungeons incredibly boring

    So what, Level sync should just reduce MP and HP and Attributes?

    Seems like a bit unbalanced. Imagine Flare at Sastasha.

    He mentioned lowering the effectiveness of abilities.
    So you would have less MP, HP, Stats, Armor/Weapons Dmg, weakened abilities (scaled to level).
    You wouldn't have to fix your bars entering the instances every time either.

    I agree with this as a DPS person - learning your rotation serves as a means of maximizing your damage output and overall effectiveness in higher dungeons.
    By doing lower level dungeons, and having your higher level abilities removed, you cannot focus on rotation...

    rotations only matter when you are able to use ALL your abilities. Meaning once you reach 50. If you miss a level 19 Ability in Sastasha while being 22 it doesn't matter.
    You want to do cool 50 moves? Why not play as level 50? In Level 50 Content? And Unless you get ifrit as low level roulette. Nothing is worth the time for the few extra tomes you can get by other means faster.

    Level Sync should be a 100% scaling function. E.g. instead of loosing abilities and becoming a lower level you should stay level 50 and it should scale down your vit, mnd, int, def, det, crit, etc etc etc. Meaning you have all your abilities, but they do less dmg, last longer, aren't as strong, etc.

    I appreciate the advice
    I enjoy helping low level players (I play a tank as my primary DoW class). Perhaps that should be its own reward haha. I was just thinking out loud and wondering if others felt the same way. Or maybe I would get lucky and an official response would say something either way.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. Personally, I don't have a difficult time with the low level dungeons. In fact, I find them pretty easy. The point I was making in my original post had more to do with enjoying all the fun stuff my class can do at level 50 while being scaled down to run low level dungeons. I guess you could say its less about difficulty and more about fun combat.
