I'd even go as far as to argue that it contributes to people not knowing how to play their job correctly at max level when they spend a huge amount of their leveling process with only the most basic spells available to them.
    Agreed.

    Just make the Potency a bit lower. Don't rob me off all my good skills.

    I'm not fond of level sync either and I'd like it to be replaced, but just lowering the potency of high level skills may not work as relative potencies are one of the factors that determines how to build your rotation or how to choose one skill over another. Ideally everything would be lowered together.

    Potency doesn't even need to be lower because spell / ability damage scales off of the weapon damage stat which in synced content is lowered.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Yes but you have access to skills with potency stronger than what you should have at that level.
    So to have all your skills, potency should probably still be reduced otherwise you would really break the dungeon for low-level players.
    I would be more than happy to Holy in Sastasha, don't get me wrong, but it probably needs to be nerfed a bit...

    It'd be no different than a group of BLU going through the content.

    Ultimately, it's a leveling dungeon, who cares?

    Maybe new players learning their job? They might not want to have fast and furious runs where their team mates kill everything and they just try to follow?

    It's already too late for that. Low level dungeons are so incredibly easy and bosses die so quickly that you often don't even see that they have mechanics besides auto attacking. And players are already rushing through leveling dungeons wherever possible because after the 100th run of Copperbell Mines you really just want to be out of there as fast as you can.

    Yet I still see people do some really stupid stuff. Like running into every poison bag in Toto while aggroing the whole dungeon...
