FCoB ilvl Requirement too high?

[ArkAurelius]

That, OR
Zeta Relic
Full 130 Left side
Crafted 110 right side

Hits exactly for 123.

I was starting to think that SE made this level req specifically for people with full ilv130 armor but with Ilv110 crafted accesories. Sure you might be a few levels short, but hey, queue with 123 ilv, then switch in the instance.

BiS isn't absolute. There's more than one way to gear up efficiently.

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.

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 a DF group is generally not capable of the same feats (with minimal resources) as a pre-made. People generally built up their equipment by acquiring the gear from these raids and/or tomes and crafting (crafting being mostly irrelevant here though, due to the requirement). The loot you obtain from that i110 requirement in T10 is i130... quite the boost in ilvl. You have to remember that besides Echo, the content wasn't exactly nerfed...

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.

I don't even know why this is an issue. It's not like the people who make it into T12 and T13 are gonna down it on DF.

We certainly weren't thinking that right? right???

I kid. slightly

Not sure what part you kiddin, cause people in here are complaining about this ilvl restriction being forced on pre-mades.

Seems like a slap in a face to crafted i110 accessories. Pretty much forcing you to have full 130 left side + 135 weapon if you choose to use overmeld accessories for t13. I think with just Augumented Ironworks weapon you only end up with 122?

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

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.
