I Can't Bring Myself to Do Lower Level Dungeons On a Lvl 70

[MomoOG]

Because all the classes play horrible now below 70. There are some exceptions but losing a lot of defining abilities especially after the pruning of old abilities makes lower level dungeons on the roulette so mind numbingly boring that I can't bring myself to do them. They need to fine tune the system so we don't lose access to our higher level abilities when our level is synced down for the lower level dungeons. Who cares if it creates some imbalance, none of that content is hard anyways.

It's not that hard and fairly easy. Takes times to adjust, feels weird, yet they are do able and go by pretty fast. We have been spoiled :P

[Ferrasper]

I do agree it feels boring, but verity tomes are verity tomes. /shrug

tbh

Things don't feel that different from what it was in HW. So suck it up I guess?

[Annah]

i do it for two reasons:

1. It helps out the newer folks get a queue pop
2. I get Tomes. TOMES TOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha ha aaahahaha

This was why I moaned so much about WHM losing stoneskin; now I have no shields at all for my FC challenges and can't justify ever taking it because it destroys the job for some lowman/minimum sync encounters that AST and even nerfed-to-death SCH can manage fine. Stupid Benison

SS was pretty garbage though. >_> 8% shield is nothing, especially in low level dungeons.

It's weird how eveyone says they missed it, but when we had it everyone complained that it was useless.

It wasn't a great spell but it made the difference between a successful clear and a disaster more than once for me. Like the time my FC buddy entered Baelsar's Wall lower than the minimum item level for her very first clear without realising - who knew that was possible? She got one shot by the final boss repeatedly because she was simply too weak to take the hit at full HP. Using Stoneskin let her actually beat the dungeon without lying dead on the floor; otherwise we would have had to leave at the final boss and redo it later or carry her through the climax of the game unnecessarily. Then there are all the lowman minimum item level ARR/HW trials my FC likes to do for fun - WHM is not welcome there as it ruins the attempts. It was never great, but now it's actively impossible to clear some fun, challenging stuff without Stoneskin.

They could fix both problems in one go with a low level, crummy version of DB which gets upgraded to the current version (and preferably, tuned a bit) at the current level. It can have a cast time and be weaker, I don't mind. It's better than having no shielding at all.

In fairness, low level dungeons always sucked. Its juts more obvious now that you lose so much.

I'd be happy though if leveling roulette would put you in the relevant dungeon for the lowest level party member, or something more relevant. I die a little inside every time I get tamtara and see everyone is on a level 60+ job.

nothing changed for me , I always hated playing synced , being used to max level rotations makes it boring to revert back to leveling rotation

I hope they change it so you can keep all your abilities and just sync the damage
