The problem is that you have level 70 mains with 522 gear when they should have 412 gear. Almost 100 levels higher than what is intended.
Once that initial wave of mains gets to level 80, the second wave of “normally geared 70s” will fit the scaling more appropriately.
And why is ? Well 2 reasons.
One : If the intention is to start with 522 gear by the time you are 80 you would be in the 700s ilvl. A bit too much so early in the expansion.
Two : Anyone that is leveling a fresh alt will not have access to Mythic track DF gear to progress smoothly to WW. So taking in mind all the rest of the players that will level the zones, they keep ilvl consistent and smooth between DF and WW.
It was like that in few previous expansions as well. End game gear of previous expansion is more powerful than leveling gear. The ‘problem’ is that many people are not aware how scaling works which leads to funny situations.
Me tanking during first few levels
Other players : OMG best tank ever
Me tanking during middle few levels
Other players: ok not bad
Me tanking during last few levels
Other players: OMG trash tank pull more you are supossed to solo this its just normal dungeon uninstall the game how will you play m+ omg.
You’re not wrong but this is not new, boosting twinks have even been a thing in DF/Shadowlands, and more recently in MOP remix you had a lot of level20 twinks running around boosting dungeons, usually healer specs that could 1shot solo dungeons in a matter of 1-2 minutes per clear.
The broken levelling dungeon scaling isn’t a new thing to TWW, you’re just experiencing it now because that’s the only content available. Level a new char at anytime in the last 2 expansions and the highest dps players were lvl10 healers.
posting from a classic character is like walking around a shop with your hood up. always looks suspicious. you should be auto stopped and searched if you do it. hoodlums tbh
Nah, not going to change my most active forum avatar for some Remix or prepatch lvl 70 alt. Besides I blend so well with my lvl 80 while not even having EA to TWW.
It is not TWW problem but WoW problem. Its always happened. I really feel like it is immersion breaking when that happens. Like I thought the purpose of grinding levels and gear was to feel more powerful? Not to feel behind people lvl 70 with DF greens on…
