Over powered world add and game difficulty

You're saying you're having issues killing level 68 enemies on a level 70 class? I would recommend using a chocobo as an easy fix or reading up on a guide to help improve your DPS as the only reason low level mobs should be killing you is if you aren't killing them fast enough.

I can and do pull multiple level 60-68 mobs for my weekly centurio hunts on bard, and do fine even with no chocobo. I even do my weekly elite hunt (which is level 70) with minimal issues.

This has to be a troll thread.

This has to be a troll thread.

It is 100% because it's not possible to play up to item level 310 and say mid level monsters are so insanely hard that the game is unplayable. To be at endgame you'd have to do more challenging things than that, like fight more than one enemy at a time and complete quests. I would say to op just play the game, it's better entertainment than trolling people.

Unless he's talking about a hunt mob this has to be a troll.

I don't see how this is possible unless you were trying to kill a boss FATE solo without realizing it was not an average mob :/

Or maybe you were downing various mobs one after another without waiting for your HP to replenish?

This has to be a level 67 FATE boss, zone boss to be precise.

These are called "Full Active Time Events."

These enemies are not intended to be solo'ed, as they have a story written for them, and they are intended to be open world challenge.

Not every single player likes sitting in a chair in Limsa Lominsa and popping menus all day, thus, and thankfully, the team at Square-Enix have given the community who enjoy open world content, a tiny bit (very tiny) challenging piece of content called "FATE"s.

You should notice when you get into the area, that it is a FATE due to the "FATE JOINED!!!!!!!!!!!!" across the screen. The zone boss FATEs also have a much more dramatic sounding theme to them. These FATEs grant special items, just like a dungeon requiring you to be with a party. So no, they should not make these enemies weaker, nor should they stop making FATEs as I personally enjoy this type of leveling and content. Gather up a party of 8+++ players with tanks healers and dps, and this boss can be taken down.

It has to be a boss FATE, but it kinda baffles my mind that a player who is 3 levels above a regular monster, on a DPS job to boot, isn't able to take down a fodder over world monster.

...I am not crazy right? We have been doing this for a few years now. I suppose the only way you can't win is if said SMN has no pet out, and is just auto attacking with their book, and EVEN if that were possible, a chocobo companion in Free Stance mode can kill said mob by itself, albeit very very slowly.

It's hard to miss when your in a FATE, seeing as it tells you a FATE has begun in big letters on the screen, has completely different music (if it's a boss), and very noticeable little purple icons. Maybe this level 70 mob really was a hunt mob xD

on WHM i could kill a Lv68, as a Lv69, in Lv63-65 gear, only spamming Aero.
on RDM I was able to solo Lv70 mobs in i218, only using the 1st Weapon Skill, (which is really weak)
no oGCDs or buffs/debuffs.
Im calling BS on this.

I am still believing that the OP tried running into an S/A rank within the new expansion, all by him/herself and got slaughtered lol. Might have been unintentionally, since newer players are not aware of that sometimes, or might have been intentionally just to have a reason to complain afterwards. Maybe we are getting some more clarification on that.
