Level Sync QoL: Keep Abilities Intact

[Vangl]

People would be slightly more powerful than they are when they do dungeons now. OMG let's deny everyone something that could be really fun because someone else can potentially get butthurt. Let's not release the expansion because someone might get butthurt over not being first to 60. Let's remove gil because someone might be butthurt they don't have the most. It's a game for crying out loud. Give people this option (which is pretty standard in other MMOs and doesn't destroy those games btw) and let them enjoy the game they've paid for. Restrict it to full premades if you are that worried about butthurt people, but at least make it an option.

With Heavensward on the way, it would give people a bit of fun when they run the dungeons they've done a million times while helping friends level new jobs.

I just want to add that Scholars are not technically cheating the system. The summon skill is still a lvl 4 or whenever you learned it as and the fairy just replaces the Carbuncle.

Enable skills higher than your synced level have the purpose of high speed duty farming and/or high harassing against the not-synced players, then the actual gear makes duties cakewalks even when synced, so...

It's more that, when synced below level 30, the Fairy automatically provides 75% to 90% of the healing a Conjurer/White Mage does at pretty much no cost allowing the Scholar to provide an additional 75% of a DpS.

Most time the fairy overheal

Now if only there were an option to enter a dungeon without being level synced. The most fun I had in WoW and EQ was going to old dungeons and soloing them.

This is not WoW or EQ & I hope it never happens that you get the ability to solo dungeons, it's a "Massively Multiplayer Online Game" NOT a "Single Player Game!".

And how would my being able to solo some old content affect you?

Basically giving the ability to solo old content will lead to people wanting to try and solo the harder content which has been proven to happen in games like "WoW" and it pretty much kills off the whole idea of partying in a game as everyone will just want to solo.

Also this is a FINAL FANTASY since when have you seen the heroes themselves take down leagues of enemies and bosses solo? NO! They always have a strong party fighting with them! You want to solo you go solo but you just wont last long alone.

The type of content in this game dies off as new stuff is added. When DF was added, before roulettes and repeatables, there were times queueing sastasha or labrynth of the ancients being an hour. This happens in similar mmos as well.

When the expansion comes that content will start to die off again so its been talked about being able to hire NPCs to do those low dungeons. I dont see how letting a new player get through early, mandatory, content affects you negatively. You are just assuming the worst.

Why would the potencys need changed? They are based on your weapon which is already level locked down. No need to change anything. Your making it seem like a lot more trouble then it actually would be.

If I'm level synced with the Flare skill and the tank doesn't have their tanking stance yet, we're gonna have a bad time. Not every tank is a level-synced 50 in i130 gear just out there doing low-level roulette. You have to think about the people that are just leveling up the class and don't have access to the full arsenal of skills yet.

If your pulling threat, then that tank becomes DPS and you become the tank, in low level dungeons people take almost the same amount of damage anyways.

By "low level dungeons" I mean "anything under level 50". The bosses in anything from about Brayflox on upward can pretty well make mincemeat of DPS if the tank isn't able to hold aggro off of them.
