New jobs and low lvl dungeons?

[Evergrey]

Hi.

A thought just struck me, if the new jobs start at lvl 30, how does it work with low lvl dungeons?
As we all know high lvl characters get tuned down to match the dungeons lvl, Example, Sastasha, lvl 15 (sync from 18). But since the new jobs don't have a lvl 1-29 I was wodnering how it will work.

I don't know if anything about this had been said or not, so thought I post my thought here and see if anyone heard anything (if there's even any information about this) or if people have their own thoughts about this.

I imagined some of their abilities will still be designated a Level <30, just like Scholar can only be unlocked at 30, yet some fairy abilities are level 1, 20, etc.

The Jobs may just have levels on their abilities i.e. they may get 8 or 9 abilities at level 30, but the levels attached to the skill may have a natural 1-30 progression. That way if they are in level synced content, they aren't completely screwed.

Maybe they'll let us use all our abilities for once.

Never understood why they just lock them out when they can tune them down to lower level numbers. Then you have the MAH DUNGEONS ARE NOT HARD NAO people throwing a fit afterwards, so whatever.

it's the ability's existence, not the numbers associated with it, that make it unbalanced for low level play. For example, many CDs give percentages, not flat numbers. Plus combo bonuses and the like.

@Leadleaf, @Omegakiyohime- Yeah, that does sound very likely. If I gave it a little more thought I would've came up with that myself. I actually did and was about to edit that to my post but then I saw you guys. ^^

Having a full rotation even if "tuned down" would still be vastly better than a class's skillset that is actually of that level. That wouldn't be balanced at all; it's fine the way it is.

How is it balanced anyways?

A high level toon already imbalances it, all it would do it help new players. Sure it may make a couple places easier. However that really doesn't matter in the end.

Yes, because people really complain about low level dungeons being easier...

It would be freaking hilarious if by some chance, due to an oversight, they forgot to assign lower levels to the 3 new jobs' starting abilities and when they get to a sub 30 dungeon all their skills are inaccessible.

Why would it be any different than the current system is?
You cannot become a Dragoon or Bard until level 30. Unless I missed something about no base classes for jobs now, for all we know a Dark Knight could be a Conjurer/Gladiator mix or something similar.
