I was iLvl 73 for Syrcus Tower and people raged that my iLvl was too low?

[Kiara1]

People are seriously complaining about iLvl in CT? Like, I went in the other day with Ifrit's Harpoon (glamour'd as Liberator), DL Cuirass (glamour'd as Allagan Cuirass) and other really comparative low gear to what I normally have. No one cared, no one said a thing and no one even looked at my stats (sad for me, I was hoping for some laughs). Point being, those who do that have poor self-esteem and feel the need to tear others down. That or they had really really bad previous runs. ST is almost pure mechanics and unless you're still using iLvl60 Weapons or less, I wouldn't worry about it as long as you follow the mechanics.

If you're gonna lie you could tell us stuff we can't prove. You cant glamour higer ilvl to lower ilvl stuff

is iLvl 73 too low to effectively do Syrcus Tower?

I thought you needed to be ilvl 80 to enter ST. So if this is the case, then yeah, ilvl 73 was too low and made you a burden. If you can honestly enter as ilvl 73, and did so in battle gear, then they can suck it.

As long as you aren't MT you should be fine, today I was doing AK for my relic on BLM which I just hit 50 recently, had left side full of myth gear and the tank had the nerve to complain about a single ILVL 30 acessory (Sorcerer's Ring I think, the one from Brayflox normal), among other things, like bashing the healer for not being able to heal him through 15 mobs pull, and then complaining about the healer not dpsing, guess what, his gear was all 110 soldiery crap which probably came from mindless hunt grind and he was crafting his Animus, best part was when he fell down to Demon Wall's Repel, then I said his average ILVL 100 gear didn't do much for repels compared to my ILVL 30 ring, he got mad and started a votekick against me which was promptly refused by the other party member, he then procedeed to shut up and we finished the dungeon with no further wipes, got 2 commends from the other guys, felt pretty good, goes to show what attitude some people have with lower ILVL players.

People said the same thing about the 2.3 dungeons.
Whinge, whinge "these are impossible at i70", "tanks need i90!", "DPS isn't enough at i70!"
Then, I did all 3 with a group of i70 players, tank included.

They drop ilvl80 gear, so no, it's not impossible, it's should be quite doable, it's just -10ilvl. Everyone did it a lot when 2.0 started. Not really a faceroll challenge, but still really doable. I did new dungeons with Ilvl80 tank and Ilvl85 healer and it already felt rather easy. I would propose to go with ilvl50 into these new dungeons to really get a feeling what to expect in ST at level 70. Tank with 3.5k... getting oneshotted from half of abilities... it's a rare sight

I really doubt that you will be able to pull it off with -30 ilvl difference, it's quite a different story there. You'll just be unable to kill falling stones at ilvl70 in time on Xande and even a small stone explosion (3k area damage) will wipe healers (they have just around 3k hp at ilvl70).

Yes, you can. I had a Crimson Vest glamoured to look like the Allagan Tunic of Casting for a while. See my explanation earlier in the thread.

It's all about changing strategy.

I'd imagine that going around in a clockwise circle with 24 players on each falling stone may work (maybe eat 1 of the small ones with Succor + stoneskin), then all 3 groups Limit Break the middle stone. Hell, maybe even trying to AoE LB the outer stones could work, we'd have LB3 at i70.

With full i70 gear and a relic/Zenith Relic (Bringing your average to i72 or i73) would be enough, imo.

But, time will tell, when I get home from work, I'll put it to the test and post the results.

snip

Could see it working, it's just like Ifrit at release, people needed LB for nails, now Melee just LB3 Ifrit after nails because of dps outputted by new gear.

You can't wear items you can't physically wear at your character level not the item level. So you can't glam our Darklight to anything lvl 49- but can once you hit level 50
