Make relics have the same iLVL as the Raid weapons and released at the same time

Yeah, and I wanted to point out that "you don't need the best gear to clear the content" is the same mindset as "you don't need a proper rotation to clear the content."

Shouldn't we try to improve both? Rotation AND gear?

You’ve obviously misinterpreted my statement discussing necessity.

Saying something isn’t necessary is not saying that you cannot desire it, and that you cannot desire improvement. But people act as if it is absolutely necessary to have the best gear ever in their Expert Roulettes, and that they are entitled to have it, when it is simply overkill for the content. That is an objective statement, and, quite frankly, a fact.

And it’s not like I don’t have an issue with gear being irrelevant in all but 1% of activities. I’d rather content be scaled to where I don’t make it roll in gear from previous patches or tiers—but then, suddenly, everything is “too hard”. I’d rather the minimum item level for the current dungeons be ~i370 and them hit hard enough to where they don’t roll over in i360. Make the gear relevant; because right now it is irrelevant. I did both Expert dungeons and the entirety of Alphascape normal mode in i360 gear. I didn’t even have i380 crafted gear. And they rolled over. That shouldn’t be okay. My i380 gear shouldn’t be unnecessary for the content, but it is. Which is what I was saying—not that you should be okay with being below average.


I believe there is also a difference between “you don’t need i400 for this fight; you can clear it easily in i380” and “you don’t need to perform a basic rotation in this content; others can easily carry you through it with you only spamming one ability”. One is clearly a far bigger detriment than the other, and it’s not the gear; so I don’t find them to be equal statements.
