Item level sync dungeons

[BillyKaplan]

To pitch in on the BRD dilemma, BRD's - and MCH's - agro reduction skills also have important party utility. Especially in the case of an undergeared tank, one you're likely to rip agro from but also one who'll need the healer to actually work to keep them alive, it's often a choice between reducing your agro or keep it for when the healer will need that Refresh. So for physical ranged, agro reduction gets another layer of complexity.

Oh and I assure you it’s aggravating knowing I have over 2300 crit then I enter that dungeon and it goes down to 1750 ish. It’s noticable and makes my class (bard) frustrating even more

Same issue here. I have almost 2k Ss, gets synced to 1500. It's noticeable and puts my 4.0 rotation back in the area where it's annoying. Mind you, I'm not saying I can't do it, but it's getting on my nerves. I put a lot of effort into gearing up and even if it's not needed for those dungeons, it's a slap in the face to have it synced away. Especially since I get that one synced dungeon almost every day.
If I run the other 2 expert dungeons I encounter low geared players as well, I don't have any issue with running with them, I don't pull hate, I'm used to watching my aggro. I don't mind slower runs either, it's solely a qol thing for me having my higher Ss not synced down.

It's also useful to avoid people doing quick w2w pulls of the easier dungeons for efficient tomestone farming,

But you can already do this.

Don’t have them as part of the expert roulette then

ARF wasn't in expert and it was awful for new players, they learned from this, it was a very good move to put the same loot in the last story dungeon as the other expert dungeons for SB.

Simple, I am one of those item level 340 players. I spent a lot of time earning my gear only to be synced to i310. Makes the effort feel worthless

if it bothers you so much get your static to run with you, you can abandon with no penalty in a full party and keep trying till you get one of two that isn't iLv capped. or get your whole static to rerun v1s for you for tomes.

stop being so selfish, not everything is about you.

Meh, I don't see anything wrong with the ilvl sync in ala mhigo. Big pulls and fast kills (in my runs anyways) can be executed properly. And even if they did remove it, they would just put it back in another patch anyways. Plus, imo, it's kinda too late to make that happen now since 4.1 is 9 days away.

Bypass the roulette and just run the non-iLv synced dungeons? They give like 50 Creation, so like just run it 9x.

It won't be when the new dungeons roll out. Patience is a virtue.

I just feel that now that every piece of gear has materia slots they need to reconsider level sync completely negating materia. Not like I'd be using different materia if I was under 310 and as a tank that's a loss of 125 strength and potentially 400+ direct hit.

This wouldn't work if you did a roulette. Even in premades, the first person to leave a Roulette will still get a penalty. So they would basically have to wait until you could Vote Abandon (I don't think this can be done immediately--I think you still have to wait a specific amount of time to pass before you can initiate a Vote Abandon). Which is still a waste of time. If the OP insists on capping tomes via the Expert Roulette dungeons but doesn't want to deal with ilvl sync, they can just queue directly into Temple of the Fist or Kugane Castle, both of which give the same tomes (50 Creation), and you only get the Expert Roulette bonus once a day anyways.

stop being so selfish, not everything is about you.

Totally agree with this. And, again, if the OP feels like their effort at obtain Savage gear--which you don't even need Savage gear to clear Savage, it can be done in full 320 crafted gear--is wasted upon being synced down, then that sounds like a personal problem. Not a fault of the item level sync.
