Endgame gearing in FFXIV

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Normally this wouldn’t really affect me because I am in a static even if I want to switch to alt job(s)… until yesterday. I saw a DPS created a PF for Criterion at iLv623 or higher, something that’s beyond me as a healer main who casually raids savage tier with very limited raiding hours weekly. Mainly because it’s more beneficial for our DPSes to get the upgrades first before the support roles. They all get the good stuffs first, ours will come later.

Now I’m not saying we have to gear up faster on main jobs (I mean I frankly would welcome the ease but Idk how it’ll affect the game so fingers crossed!), but if I were to try out alt job(s) in iLv610 in just about most current tier savage in PF right now… I don’t think folks want to deal with that. There has to be additional way to gear up the alt job(s).

Lovely take from OP.

Personal anedcedote: Personally observed the general P5S group requests for iLvls no lower than 615. I believe Criterion's arrival has in fact worsened Demand for unreasonable iLvls. In fact Criterion being a no lock out system was one place where players were likely to play their off jobs. Which further brings the issue to the forefront.

I hope they find a resolution soon.
