Low level Fates for low level classes

How are you not able to aero things before they die?

[chrissm]

Use Aero, it has 0 cast time. You will still get partial kill credit which makes up for a decent fate bonus.

I'm not sure what level I get Aero at, but it is later than 11.

To be honest, I'm not so concerned about myself not being able to take part in the Fates...

I was irked at the time when it happened (and then of course happened again and again as I went from one fate to the next, because of course the same high level player also followed he Fates)...

... but a day later, I'm over it... When it happens again I may get irked again, but it doesn't really happen that often that I have a day when I can't do any Fates...

I really hope that by the time I get this 2nd character to high levels again, there's something better for me to do to advance than to have to tediously go along from Fate to boring under-leveled unchallenging Fate just hoping by random chance to get a tine bit closer to advancing my gear just the tiniest bit.

The point I was trying to make here is that if there were something better for the high level characters to do, then this problem wouldn't exist for the low level characters either.

Square won't do anything because they see it as a "good" thing; the majority of the quests needed to be done for relic weapons forces high level players to do low level content as a way to help newbies.

No it's not. There isn't one fate in the game where you can't use aero.

Aero is a level 4 CNJ spell. @Chrissm, you only need look at your character's actions and traits or here at this link to see at what level you achieve Aero. I don't know the exact number of fates you're doing, but as soon as you get level 4, you never lose Aero, because you wouldn't synch below 7 to take a level 2 fate anyway. Maybe you removed it from your hot bar thinking that it was a worthless ability?

Spamming these insta-cast spells ruins the experience for me. It turns lowbie leveling into the same numb grind as the ATMA grind itself.

Not to mention, those spells are weak and you need to do at least 30% of the damage in order to get gold.

That simply isn't true. When I do low level Fates as WHM, all I do is put aero on each mob, and I never get less than gold. Yes it's boring, but it's not hard by any means.
If what you're saying was true, only three people could get gold from boss fates. Also, GLD/PLD would never get gold since they do the lowest damage.

There are four sure fire ways of getting gold on FATEs:
1. Being the first to hit newly spawned FATE mobs
2. Building Enmity
3. Healing and Reviving
4. Doing enough damage
