I hate dungeon skips

Community General Discussion

Please Blizzard - I am leveling my alts through dungeons and I am getting sick of all these shortcuts. I obviously go plaguefall very often through LFG and I am sick of all groups skipping the first two bosses and most of the mobs. What is the point? I go dungeons to get XP and loot. And I get none of those by doing this. Similarly in mists… skipping the whole first part and start the dungeon only at the first boss… what is the point? I need XP and I want to learn dungeons in normal so I can play Mythics properly…

Can you somehow change that so dungeons are played as intended?

You get more XP by finishing the dungeon faster, the XP from mobs is terribly low, the bonus XP for finishing is considerably higher.

For learning, there’ll be heroics and M0, where skips are far less common.

I see… so it will be definitelly more efficient to spam dungeons like that for tanks and healers that have no queues. DPS has a considerable wait time so I would definitelly prefer spending the most time possible by playing than waiting in queue despite waiting might be in the end a bit more efficient…

But still - they could just buff the xp from mobs so they are worth to kill. Or make it so the dungeon completion requires all bosses down and certain % of trash dead (like in M+). Or ideally both.

I don’t mind the skips, it does feel counter intuitive when levelling but you really get the bulk of the xp from completion, unless you have quests.

The quest for the dungeon that you get outside in the slime area (the 12 of 1 item and 1 off of the last boss) can still be completed with the skips.

Wait you can skip some bosses and mobs? can you please share how?

I need them to finish the “X covenent Defended” callings.

In Plaguefall you can just go around the first and second boss. Then just start at spider boss and do the oozy jacuzzi boss.

Nothing is more fun than joining the dungeon when both bosses are dead and try to skip the mobs just to pull them all to the tank and wipe them. I honestly dont care. Its not me who is toxic, its those who skip the mobs this way.

Screw patroling mobs, not all of us are 16 years old, let all mobs be forced to be dealt with…

That has nothing to do with being able to skip or not. Unless you are a blind 95 year old.

Ok that made me giggle, she is never being named anything other than oozy jacuzzi boss for me from now on :joy:

As for the OP, it can be annoying especially if you’re new to the game but the bulk of the xp you earn is, like said, from completion of the dungeon. As far as I know you don’t need to kill any of the first bosses to complete any quests either.

Bosses gives like 2k xp.
Finishing dungeon gives like 55k xp depending your lvl.

So you wanna waste time on those two bosses+mobs or just speed run dungeon in 7 min and grab 50k xp?

I always go for that skip while leveling.

Loot doesn’t matter while leveling. Also when you fresh dinged 60 don’t gear up via normal dungeons - just straight go to m0.

If you do dungeons for exp, skipping is better exp/hour than anything else.

Ok I get your point guys. It just really seems odd from RPG perspective to get the most XP (i.e. to get the character more experienced in combat) by avoiding combat. It´s just weird…

there is nothing wrong with rushing and skipping the first two bosses in PF, I leveled 12 chars through Threads of fate and it was really fast that way, about 7 hours

18

No way, that would make dungeons miserable to run.

19

certainly not

I agree dungeons should at least need to kill some certain bosses in order to complete and not just the final boss. Not trash, trash is just an obstacle, leave the trash % to m+.
