Keep our skills when Level syncing in dungeons

[RaijinThunder]

Something that's always been a problem with ff14 is the combat at lower levels. So my idea is we should not lose access to our skills whenever we level sync in dungeons. everything else can stay the same just let us keep our skills man that's the fun part about reaching max level the rotations are so fun it makes combat more enjoyable. We spend hours grinding to get to max level only to be forced to lose the skills we work so hard to get due to level syncing. The way the syncing works for fates should be the same for dungeons.

no thanks, lol.

imagine having your level 90 OGCDs, GCDs, oh sh-t buttons, etc, in sastasha. things would *melt* before whatever newbie happens to be there can even get a hit in.

Or worse, having a full rotation but it's hit with the balance stick to account for sync and you barely do any damage but still have all those buttons to press lol

Oh dear god I’d hate that. It’d feel so unnerving and useless to the point where I’d rather just avoid queuing for roulettes altogether, just to avoid that lol.

And just like that, you'd kill level roulettes in a flash

How do you balance actions like Hallowed Ground? Benediction? Almost all other healers’ oGCD?

No, the answer isn’t as simple as potency tweaks. Simply put, almost impossible without making every job’s buttons either undertuned or overtuned. We don’t want either of those extremes.

Besides, there’s already a lore explanation to that. Take it like our WoL utilizing their Echo to re-experience the past dungeons when they first entered.

And once again people do not know the repercussions of asking for this.

Example: EQ2 has a level down system where you keep all your gear and skills.

My level 90 Mage, leveled down to 35. Goes into a level 35 dungeon, and aoe's everthing in one shot. The skills are all leveled down to 35, but were designed with level 90 content in mind. So even lowered, it was still too much.

On the flip side of that, it made level 35 content extremely fun lol.

I swear to the Twelve, if I have to drag out the Math again for this thread, I'm going to make a freakin' slide deck presentation and stuff it on Google Docs so that I can just link it the next time this comes up.

I would say more that they should pick some skills here and there that make the class a bit more engaging with what they can do like with the recent change in low level DK giving their Stalwart Soul early.

But definitely not make every skill available. It would just be too overkill for a lot of the low level dungeons, which already are easy anyway.
