being synced to lower levels...

[-DMR-]

I was wondering about something - If you're equipped with a endgaming level weapon and enter a lower level (pre lv50) dungeon or fate battle, would the same damage inflicted be taken into account, just like in any area of the game, outside of dungeons/fates?

e.g. using a lv50 sword (or bow/arrows), and similar level gear, in a dungeon such as Sastasha at Lv17.

I already know that your level will be synced, as well as the abilities that are available, prior to the synced level.

What about post lv50 weaponry/gear when Heavensward is out?

yes basically every gear gets desynced to same stats let say pld lv 30 and pld lv 50 goes to sastasha they both have gears that will get desynched to that dungeon the lv 50 player with better gears will still have the same gear stats as the player with lv 30 gears

Not actually true. If you have level 50 gear and sync to level 30 you actually would still be a little better because everything syncs to the MAXIMUM ALLOWED stats for that level. So even if you had perfect ilvl 30 at level 30 the stats you have may not be max stats allowed for that level in everything. ie a mage that syncs tends to have more Hp because of a higher allowed VIT sync.

[Lokisama]

yes that makes sense I was however comparing lv 30 and 50 tank gears to lv 17 dungeon in that way they would be same stats as both gears would easily cross the max allowed stat so they would round to same numbers i think....

[Terrini]

Fair enough. That would be true.

Yeah, it gets funny when you are a lvl 50 healer in a low level dungeon healing tank with iLvl below the dungeon level, and you heal 1/2 his HP with 1 cure/physic.

especially easy with SCH most of the time im spending in cleric stance and let my fairy heal

Yep, same.

This is why a lot of us are against the idea that's popped up of letting the sync'd keep the abilities lost to syncing. With what you can do with the abilities you keep the damage you could potentially do with the rest is insurmountable. It's why I look like the laziest Bard when I moonlight, I could rip hate off an at-level tank with just 5 seconds of my usual effort were it a level 50 dungeon.

Yeah that idea is pretty crazy.
Though I do miss Leaches as SCH in some dungeons where CNJ/WHM already has Esuna, that's the only thing I don't like about syncing.
