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

[Foomerang]

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...

If you have a hard time with DPS in low level dungeons roll a tank. PLD gets shield oath at level 40, anything below that you have bugger all to get threat. WARs get Defiance at 30, it's hard work to get threat from over-enthusiastic DPS when you have two skills.

Where is everyone one gathering this implied "difficulty" from. No one said it was hard. I just want my skills, and have them scaled down. I'm not saying I need them powered at level 50, that would be pointless.

Given you're way over-geared when doing low level stuff maximising DPS is hugely irrelevant to being able to clear it.

GW2 manages to pull this off well. The sad truth is that regardless of the excuses they give us for the decision it was probably easier for them to simply adjust our levels than to do all the math of scaling abilities down. More lazy programming with a bad excuse to cover for it.

GW2 manages to pull this off BADLY, BECAUSE they don't take away OP high level skills.

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, but while you're at it, what were these OP skills you referring to and why are they OP at low levels and not high? Also what skills in XIV would you consider OP at low levels and why?

[Kimikryo]

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.
