Level Capped Dungeons: Please allow all skills learned.

[FritoBandito]

We do not have any plans at the moment to allow the use of higher level abilities when you are level capped.

It would be nice to add it to the to-do list, or at least the things-to-consider list.

I agree with those who say it would make low-level content more enjoyable, and I disagree with those who say it would allow you to one-shot everything (which isn't true, your character would still be level-capped and not do enough damage to one-shot anything).

Perhaps consider this (sorry if it's already been suggested): if you won't allow all learned abilities to be available, then what about the abilities learned up to the level of the lowest-level party member? For example: in a party of four, everyone is level 50 but there is a level 30 member, so everyone will be limited to abilities they learned at level 30 and under. This way everyone remains on the same page.

As far as FATEs go, I honestly don't care as much about those. Let the abilities list be wide open as far as I'm concerned.

Awareness is pretty important in 2.2 and it can be cross classed. Shield Swipe is incredibly powerful. Although its "old content" a paladin can interrupt all of Ifrit HM's eruptions and the "stack" plumes while tanking using a well timed shield block. What would make shield swipe more important is if it was usable on more enemies, such as interrupting ADS high voltage.

Won't happen... Pacified is LITERALLY the opposite of silence.

Greetings,

We do not have any plans at the moment to allow the use of higher level abilities when you are level capped.

On a somewhat related note, however, Yoshida mentioned during Letter from the Producer LIVE XIV that we will be looking into making adjustments to actions that are not used very much by each job.

Summoner spells are all amazing but some could work better. Requiring Miasma II to be in melee range kinda goes against our gameplay...

So you want it harder for new players to get through content then?

You quoted that person suggesting the level-sync have a stronger diminishing affect... this wouldn't hurt new players at all as they wouldn't be level-synced... even if one was in the leveling process, let's say 32>28, the reduced stats could scale with # of levels synced down so they're still appropriately powerful.

Also like I mentioned before, a pre30/40 passive enmity bonus could be given to tanks (if needed, though I think a better solution is a greater desync stat reduction). Training wheels if you will, and would also make up for the difference in the dps having their full kits.

I have such a hard time justifying running up to a mob to use Miasma II. I will, but I don't feel comfortable doing it. It just feels REALLY weak for something we get so late in the game. I kinda wish we had some more things to do after applying DoTs too. I usually have nothing to do other than Ruin or Ruin II while waiting for the OGCDs to come back and the DoTs to get low.

I can understand locking them in dungeons...but FATEs should at least allow it. FATE's are nothing more than zerging anyways so I don't see why it would matter there.

What about lower level cross-class abilities? It's annoying to get level-synched as a warrior, and not have access to Featherfoot.

[RowanLauron]

Heh, roll into Sastasha with two blms and flare all the things!

Would be so broken.

If you can't see the problem with this then I hope you never seek a career in game design.

They really need to fix that cross class abilities aren't caped at least. I went into a tam Tara run the other day as my whm for my atma book. Saw that I couldn't use stone skin, but then the thm next to me starts casting stone skin on everyone. Someone thought that makes sense? Who designed that?
