FCoB ilvl Requirement too high?

[Daranion]

Simple solution then. Change your gear to the melded gear when you get in, use the higher ilvl gear as a gatekey. Done

Yea except some people decided to gear all their accessories with overmeld i110 and used their poetics for left side on other classes.
Now they gotta get a piece of two of ironworks accessories just for the sake of entering?

Or I guess they can farm earlier turns and take accessories from people that actually needed them.

Would a mod mind moving this tread to the suggestions section?

There's no Bard BiS.

BiS could be i120. Could be i125. There's differences, ya know. Depends if you want to go ham on your job or not, really.

That. . .doesn't even make sense as a statement. You just said that all BRD gearsets are exactly equal.

Shouldn't have to game the system to work around an unneeded restriction. Yes, that's a workaround, but the idea is to not need workarounds.

WoD unlock, Ironworks gear, and CT weekly augments all give little excuse to go in with less than the listed iLvl requirements at this point.

And if you don't want to farm third coil for carbon coat, twine, and that tome stone. There's always Shiva Ex for that 115 weapon, or making friends with a 4 star Smith. So yeah very little room for not being at least around 120.

I dont care XD I will never do those coils. Not even with 50% echos boosts

[SarcasmMisser]

As a tank, I agree with you half and half.

Yes. I get the best optimization for tanks is going all in on VIT and becoming a giant pool of masochism from cleaves, busters and devours. However, slowly going from ilv130 accesories to pentamelded ilv110 accesories, I felt that the pros far outweighted the cons. for a loss in around 400-500 HP.

I think you should look at his link, he has his tank full slaying. I agree with him in the sense that the amount of hp with echo is adequate but it's a straight trade off while crafted gives like 75% of both, it is clearly the best of both worlds and an overpowered middle ground. The fact that SE continues to weigh ilevel in terms of tiers of gear and not stat weights is backwards and feeds misinformation to players, the result being players terribly geared but high ilevel.

Too bad his build is bad for war, and could be better for pld as well...

[Dererk]

Here's the thing some one told me that SE never wanted crafted gear to even be used in coil they wanted it to be used as catch up gear but now they got people clearing this stuff in just a week with this stuff.

I'm also hearing that melded gear will be useless in Alexander because they dont want it used this way.

Levels are too high. All the content came out when item level max was 110. If people can do it then, why is there a cap now?

Because now that FcOB become PUG's land, it is needed to lessen all the drama and ragequits you will witness on DF there, caused by people that otherwise will queue there without any chance to survive first 30 seconds of fight.

And that does not affect the pro players that have T13 on farm: they just put on accessories to meet the reqs, and switch to bis gear when in.
