How much item level we need for the new content?

[craybest]

I tried it with 361 and I could only kill 2 of the 3 things we have to do before auto failing the duty, so i guess i need more.
for those who beat it, what is your IL?
i dont think we should be doing raids or extra hard content only to beat the MSQ.

You shouldn't need too high of an item level if you conserve your cooldowns for when the swords spawn.

I was able to burn the swords down without them with an ilvl of 399 on NIN so I think lower ilvls can pull it off if they save their burst damage.

This still seems very much tuned for DPS rather then tanks or healers, though...

399 il wow that's a lot, i guess i should first get rid of all my 330 il items, which are 4 or so. i'm a ninja aswell, but we don't have that many cooldowns, and i did use them on the swords too. but i wasn't even close, i barely got to the third one and the timer went full. besids i have to evade the HUGE aoes that appear around the swords so that takes quite some time of from hitting them too.

You don't need to have that high an item level. I did it on drk at ilvl 382 with a 365 weapon. Just save your cooldowns for the swords. if you're still struggling you can get a few more genesis pieces they have raised the weekly cap to 900.

Failed it twice with a DRK at 381 because I just didn't have enough damage to kill the last sword, then got through without issue with a 360 RDM though that was with the buff you get starting on the third try. Felt like I could have done it without the buff though.

[craybest]

ooh i had no idea we got buffs for trying again, i thought that was only for group content. I'll keep on trying till i get it then XD
is the buff given once or many times if i keep losing?

i did it on my ilv375 sch. with 360 wep.
the timer was at 97-98% so it was just barely a clear.
as a dps, you should be able to do it at 360, even easier.

On Lodestone i can see you have 380 wep, so you should have no problems.
Maybe update your 330 accessories.
But i think you might need to research nin dps, a bit. check out youtube for guides.

I managed on my first time, as a ilvl 383 PLD.

I did use Fight or Flight and Requiescat to Holy Spirit spam on the swords, otherwise it was fairly uninteresting in terms of challenge, not much he could do against the survivability of a PLD.

[Ceridwenae]

ilvl 385 bard, 390 weapon. No issues to speak of.

[Kaedan]

DRK, 391 ilvl, 390 weapon.

I'm sure you can do it with 375 or more
