Esoteric cap

[Kit-Kat]

Since you've added even more classes to a game where you can have all of them on a single character, could you remove the weekly cap 10 weeks after its release?
With a weekly cap of 450, full left side (including weapon) costs 4500 esoterics, which takes exactly 10 weeks to obtain. After 10 weeks, you're suposed to have a full set and no longer have the adventage of obtaining gear too fast right after raid is released, and having sets not shared among classes, this is kinda frustrating for people who like hoping from class to class doing content (personal reference here on healers).

Like this thread if you share the same opinion to make it have at least some impact and make the dev team notice, please.

It is actually less to obtain than poetics was actually. Use to cost 1300 poetics and the tome stone to get a ilvl120 weapon. Now a weapon is only 990 and no tome stone required. Baby steps.

Its up for debate, but I think it is fine where it is. Maybe a little more we can earn a week than it is currently. I don't think we should be able to fully equip various jobs before the next patch hits. Plus we have tokens and Savage gear to use also.

^^^ Completely agree with this. I'm a firm believer in that it should take some time to gear up your main class, not to mention all your alt classes.

The weapon might be less, but that's not the point of this thread. Poetics, you could easily wear your one healer set on WHM and SCH, the caster set on SMN and BLM and the tank set on PLD and WAR.

These sets are all specific to one job, so no, they are really not less to obtain.

You can currently full gear each of those to i190 in 5 weeks through Alex HM and Ravana EX. 3.1 might even remove the loot lock on Alex HM so that you can full gear a role in 20 or less Alex runs.

SE seems to have the following expectations for max gearing levels during 3.0:

Hardcore Main: i210
Midcore Main: i200
Midcore/Hardcore Alts: i190
Casual Mains/Alts: i170 to i190

Again, you have multiple options to getting better gear for alternate jobs. Even more when 3.1 hits. Its understandable to an extent if you are heavy on BiS, but even then you are going between two gear sets to make that happen.

I forgot about that. Good point.

Except that weekly cap is 450, and you still need 3 weeks to get it, just like old 1300 poetics/soldiery ones.

Your leftovers is now higher, decrease the amount of esoterics you have to farm for the next piece.

I think the OP's point was that 10 weeks from now, this content is going to be rather old, which makes the time gate of tomestone gear a little silly. I agree. Time gating initially makes sense, but after a bit, it's just a needless burden.
