Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

DPS is way too low, you know how it goes, Add Phase is a disaster. I take a look around and notice the other DPS - a Level 57 Summoner, with Gear that... uh... he had parts of the Ironworks Gear, not augmented, the weapon was a iLvl 115 NQ one... and the right side... grey accs, 40 and below, and the crowning: the Ala Mhigan Earrings. One ring was blue and 50, rejoice - the Ironworks Tank Ring.

I would hazard to say that at most, cap level gear from a prior expansion should only be taken 3 maybe 4 levels and no more than that. (3 levels for base cap IL gear and maybe 4 If the gear is upgraded) If anything stormblood shows the huge ramp up in stats between small item levels that do a wealth of good for you. (Which by the way, I can only wonder how IL 440 will look stat wise)

There really needs to be an IL requirement for all co-op duties, yeah, perhaps it'll gate people and it will require people to farm more gear for a little longer but it is always frustrating in a 4 man when a party member isn't up to par in gear. For roulettes, like the leveling roulette, it should have a floating IL requirement based off of your current highest level dungeon duty. It really breaks the ebb and flow of the game and if you're farming for glam or cards, (as I do) repeated instances of picking up slack can really bring down your experience.
