Item levels in Hevansward

Prolly won't happen as then those would become mandatory to have to boost so and so ability duration/potency. Ex: Boost the potency of Jump by 100. Every DRG will need it. Don't have it? You're not included into whatever content.

They could always be imaginative about it. Effectively make the stats the same as not having Mantra on Bard/Ninja, rather than some ridiculous 100 potency jump in skill damage. Gear gets to be more interesting, heck going off these list of changes, it looks like they'll be making it easier to farm gear from dungeons. You can go in with an incomplete party and not be level synched... If Foestrikers had some amazing skill attached like "Increases rate Limit Break meter charges" it wouldn't be hard to farm, you can just go in solo at i170 and clear the entire dungeon in minutes to farm the gear.
