smth counter-intuitive that I'm able to use a another class' skill at a lower level

it's nth game-breaking, but I just feel weird that I'm able to use stoneskin while playing thm at lvl15, but not able to do the same when I'm on whm and lvl-synced to 15 >.>;;

This is actually a good point.

That is a bit silly.

Not game-breaking, but silly.

i just wish level sync worked like that. it makes helping friends by scaling down kind of boring since you lose most of your abilities.

Because you're still you. If you are a race car driver, and then switch to bus driver, do you lose your race car driver skills until you switch back?

However borrowed abilitlies are sevearly gimped, try using second wind on whm at level 10.

every time my husband heals us in one of the lower level dungeons on his scholar I feel like we are cheating. The scholar pet can heal the party in those 15-17 dungeons easily. So we are basically bringing 2.5 dps on the run. (maybe a bad example as those dungeons aren't hard but technically he shouldn't have the healing pet as it's only available at 30 no?)

exactly my point. If I'm a race car driver at a professional level, and all of a sudden I'm given an extremely low-performance vehicle with no tyres that drives on one wheel, my car will not perform as well but I should retain all my skills.

I just feel that if these cross-class abilities will be made available to all other classes, so should it be available to my main class when I'm lvl-synced. I'm not asking for Regen at lvl 15, I'm merely finding it more reasonable that I should be able to use my own skill that even a Monk could have access to if the Monk chose to have that skill brought over.

I've got to agree on this one. Level sync should limit the effectiveness of the skills, just as it limits damage/healing output. Totally removing the skills while synced makes it very difficult to adjust your rotations on the fly. I actually hate the doing lower level FATEs and dungeons because of this. I love to help others whenever I can, so this makes my FF14 life quite difficult at times...
