A potential rework to the level-sync system.

[Tlachtga]

Define "badly". I leveled every job to 80 and never had an issue with my bars. Did I understand what all the buttons did? Probably not. But I had no issue arranging/rearranging them all on 2 hotbars with a controller. At most I had to toggle a 3rd for things like Arm's Length or a tank stance, but that only took up another 3-4 slots. It's perfectly fine as is for controller players. People just need to know how to set things up correctly. I don't really see how they handled it badly.

the number of skills isn't the problem, the distribution is. they remove or rework skills to make way for new ones, and it seems like they only take into account how the jobs feel at cap.

some jobs feel incredibly broken when synced. and since SE seemingly needs to add new skills to every job....it could definitely be shuffled better. even now, WHM doesn't get Rapture til 76 but gets Solace at 52. Thin Air at 56, which is extremely niche in its use. Simply swapping the levels Rapture unlocks with Thin Air would go a long way. Something similar could be done with DRKs Stalwart Soul. I have no idea why that's lvl72 unlock. it really shouldn't be. don't get me started on how melee don't get spammable aoe gcds til lvl40ish.

Considering you don't get a whole lot from 30 to 50 yes it does matter a lot. And at lvl 50 you start doing 8 man content. Do you play this game?

obviously not, i jump on here to have discussions over issues with a game i don't play /s

don't get a whole lot of what? skills? that could change. that was the proposal in fact.

anyway, once again. its a cooperative game. it ultimately doesn't matter if one member of the team is outperforming the other. this already happens with the current system.

often i see people across social media all admit to having netflix on, or doing chores during this 50 content. so why does balance matter in this content, when the majority isn't even fully engaged in it?
