Whelp...Alexander is going to kick us all in the nuts

[Sylve]

Except the entire point of Alex normal mode is to let as many people see it as possible.
Alex Normal = Story.
Alex Savage = OMGWTFITBURRRRRRRRRRRNS raiding.

if they made Alex normal any harder to access, it'd Coil all over again, with minimal people seeing it.

Now let's see the Ali G item levels

Floor1 170
Floor2 170
Floor3 170
Floor4 170

See the problem?

No. I see not the problem.

I've cleared all 4 floor in i170. My co healer too.

But we did it in our regular static raid setup.

I doubt dungeons will require alexander gear. At least not untill a few more patches. But since you mentioned, let's talk about item level. This is one things Yoshie and co messed up with Alex.
No it's not about 170 being way too big. On the contrary.
Let's look at Coil item levels

Turn1 70
Turn2 73
Turn3 70
Turn4 77
Turn5 82

Now let's see the Ali G item levels

Floor1 170
Floor2 170
Floor3 170
Floor4 170

See the problem? I was able to get into floor 4 with the exact same gear I used to clear floor 1. The minimum of floor 1. I shouldn't have been allowed to do this. There are dps AND healer checks in the fights. People shouldn't be able to que into all four turns with the same minimum gear.

Simple put Alexandra test the players skill not their gear.

Same thing for Bismarck, but I think that one should have a minimum ilvl stated

Just throw it away and put in a call for help to get a replacement. With tomestone gear in 2.x, you just had to throw it away and ask for a new item and ask. However if you used that item on the right job then you would just get the item back. You only got a new item if it was a genuine mistake.

I don't have a healer class over lvl 5 but I've heard these restores can only be done once per account (?). I'd rather not use it on a bracelet when I am juuuust dumb enough to get a wrong robe someday.

Nope. FFXIV is a bit odd (in my opinion) that each boss within a raid is a separate instance, as opposed to one instance with multiple bosses. Makes sense to me that all bosses released at the same time share the same gear requirements.

[Dererk]

Or Blue Garter melds out the next set of crafted for 8~ of it's members.

from what I understood you'd need Alexander normal mode gear to have a chance at getting clears in savage and that crafted gear will be worthles in the new raids.

Where did it say Alex hard won't be in DF? It's just like those who said Alex story would be full party and you couldn't que solo for it. I won't believe that Alex hard won't be in DF till I see proof especially after I was told about Alex story being required full party and not solo.

Are you insane no one in their right mind would qu savage in DF 2nd Coil is still premade required.

It would be weird if new dungeons require us to be higher than ilvl 180. That would mean we are either forced to do hunts (which I truly hate) orpray to the rng gods.

[Kiara1]

Ilvl 170*
