Endgame gearing in FFXIV

[Bsrking5]

Isn't from the same group that sells content clears. Yea, idgaf what content sellers have to say. Ban them to the shadow realm forever.

[Wasselin]

Hmm that's a good point. Maybe faster gearing for alts would make it easier for them to sell content clears?

[SaberMaxwell]

I don't recall Sfia being a member of any content selling teams. They are/were a member of Thoughts Per Second who hold multiple world firsts in this game however, so maybe that's what you're thinking and extrapolating further from that.

Either way, provide proof if you're going to try and rile up a crowd like that and derail a thread.

Agreed. I stopped raiding after killing P8S twice because of how shitty the gearing loop is (in addition to static problems and pf raiding being a waste of time).

No thanks to gear set bonuses.

Oh I can understand the mentality but it would make gear less boring. Could have a bonus for wearing a full set but no bonus for wearing mixed sets. Or have Grand Company gear(why is GC gear stuck at 50?) have a bonus but you can't meld materia on it.

Variety is the spice of life.

Or even just getting gear that did not require tomes. Just seems rather restrictive no?

Your character can play on all jobs but can only realistically gear up one job at any given time.

But to be fair, what's the point of gearing further if you already cleared it? To be ready for the next tier when pentamelded crafted gear will replace it all?

Post-tier content like Criterion Savage or Ultimate require or are more viable in BiS.

So you can clear the same fight but 20 seconds faster(oh boi). Or have a ilvl to meet super endgame requirements. IMO there is no point.

Tell that to the Skip Soar or Disband memes x3

Skip the phase so I can get my mount faster. It will DEFINITELY drop this time!!

Or wait a few years and solo it on a lvl 90 DPS for 2 minutes a run and desynth weapons for free Carapaces.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
