Level capped assaults - Do you do them?

[Not Kuno]

Have you ever done these before? Or know someone that did? Just curious.

[lilfoo]

the only assault i have done caped is Excavation Duty caped @ 60 b/c it is even easier to trio with gear that is available at that lvl (BLM BLM melee). all others i have done were uncapped.

Once in a blue moon for the lulz. More often on the non fight ones.

[Vigilia]

I have never.
I have a BLM friend who did 60 cap Excavation duty for nearly all of his Yigit boots points. He said it was easier to find a pickup group like that.

[Isiolia]

I think I did Golden Salvage once capped because the SMN we had was only level 60.

[Grey Jorildyn]

I think after CoP, the majority of us have had about enough of level capped crap.

I was playing with 3 rl friends who didn't have jobs past 50 earlier in the summer. Once we hit 50 we started doing 50-cap Assaults...so I did quite a lot of those with them.

I'm levelling blu in a static, since we are currently in our 60s we've been doing some 60cap assault, since two of our members had never assaulted (oddly, the two members for whom this is their highest job, fancy that) and need rank to not have gimp-ass signet.

Cerberus was giving us some trouble so we tried capping it at 60 hoping it would be easier. It was alot harder, his defense didn't scale properly and melee hits were doing in the single digits. He can still use Gates of Hades in 60 cap and summon the elementals. Went back and beat it uncapped.

Thats the only time I've done a capped assault.

Please elaborate? :/

Lower HP on rocks?

[Eanae]

I did them capped on nin when it was still under 75. Other then that, no.

[BRP]

If someone asked me to do a lower cap, I would have no problem with it, especially 60 cap. Most of the game are level 75 though and it is sort of a snowballing effect that people would rather hit 75 than focus on Assault for a bigger crowd. Level caps are hardly annoying at 60 or 70, when most jobs can rely on under-level 70 rings and accessories and AF(Haub is under level 70 as well). If only Assaults were in RotZ or CoP, this thread would be looking rather different.

That said, I've done it like two or three times. Two of which was ED because its easier that way.

I would still say doing Assaults probably would be the best or one of the best things at level 50+ player can do with is freetime. That is, if he can find people to do it with.

Rocks have quite a bit lower HP. we chose 60 b/c that is the first cap BLM can easily hit the 100 INT mark for DoTs. our best time was 10ish (closer to 15 maybe?) min with BLM BLM MNK but we always beat it no matter the melee we took (we took a DRG one time a couple different WARs and then a SAM. Always three people) i stopped because the person i did it with quit.

Are too nice to give up in many assaults for me to want to impose a cap. <__<;

[Dooom]

I've done Lebros Cavern PSC capped a few times. At first I did it at 50cap with a group of four friends, as that was the only cap we could go at and stand a chance of winning (otherwise we'd be, like, whm, brd, whm, whm >.>). As time went on, we upped it to 60cap due to us levelling up a bit more. 60cap was certainly easier. After we got our Chiv Chains, though, we left it well alone until we could go uncapped. Muling gear was just a pain. Since then I think I've done 2 capped assaults; also 60cap Lebros PSC, due to that being people's highest level, and them wanting Chiv Chains before they levelled up further.

[Mytiwar]

Never.

I think you get less AP if you go capped? Or that's just if you're a lower level going in an uncapped assault?

[Saraphym]

god no, i had enough of capped shit with CoP.

If you set a level cap and someone is below that cap - say, lvl 59 in 60 cap - then they get less AP. But you don't get less AP just for having a cap in place.
