Character doing insane damage - bug

I was doing the Backdoor Dealings quest in Stranglethorn Vale which takes you to Zul Gurub to deal with Zanzil, where your damage is boosted to “raid style” ie level 35 I was doing 130k damage. Since I completed quest I am now still doing 60-130k hits, 1 shotting everything and getting no XP. Is there a fix, I logged a bug but wanted to know if it’s known/how to make character playable again?

Looking at your achievements I would guess you’re new or a returning player.

The big numbers hint that you’ve overleveled the zone. You’re attacking GRAY mobs which provide no experience to you. In this version of the game STV scales up to level 30 by default and when you are fighting on a character of significantly higher level you start seeing these huge numbers. It’s called the legacy multiplier and it for example allows you to solo older raids and such once you exceed their level brackets.

If you visit SW or ORG capital cities and find Chromie (hourglass icon on the map), you can raise the scaling range of the zones from previous expansions so they match your character level. That way you may stay in STV up until 81* but I doubt it will have enough content to keep you busy until then. Rest of the world will scale alongside you.
