Problem is, I could pull every drat thing in the sylphlands onto me at once and still not be meaningfully threatened. The heavy doesn't make travel more dangerous, just more tedious. If they set it so the heavy only applies if you take X amount of your max HP in one hit, that'd be one thing and still make it unwise to ride past higher level enemies.

they need to add a summon that gives the summoner endless MP because as it is right now you're crippled in FCOB

I had some trouble doing beast dailies as a fresh 50. Not sure you can really expect any more than that without essentially making parts of the world off-limits to solo players.

World enemies should aggro off you're ilevel anyway. A level 47 mob should stand there soiling his pantelettes instead of trying to get my attention when I'm riding by in i110 gear.

Heavy is a generic debuff though so if you are a WHM/SCH you can dismount, Esuna/Leech it off and then sprint to keep running.

I guess your critical rate doesn't grow all that much either. It's a bit annoying because it continues the trend of putting Spell Speed on both options in a couple of slots (gloves, neck) while also having a terrible weapon and a Poetics-dominated left side (may not be a negative, depending on who you ask).

I'm comfortable with a combination of both with no tokens because it keeps you playing the content for months rather than in and out in 8 weeks or whatever. You're gonna see a whole lot more drama and lootnscoot with tokens.

Maus posted:Why do you think 2.4 SCH gear is bad? For SCH it isn't really that bad (unlike SMN where people see really unhappy), but crit ends up roughly balanced with last tier and some of the slots are very questionable upgrade paths (hurray piety?), especially with the way a lot of the Dreadwyrm feels like WHM gear. But that isn't really a new problem.
