Capstone to Tier 4 is impossible but Tier 4 Dungeons are easy

I’m starting to think I’m the highest level player still stuck on Tier 3. I’m level 70 yet, every single time I go to the Capstone dungeon that will let me go to tier 4, I get destroyed. It’s not even close. I’m terrible.

Yet I have these sigils that allow me to go do Tier 4 dungeons. I’ve held off using them because I figured, “If I cannot even get to tier 4, why would I try to do a dungeon there?”

Well lately I decided, “Why not”. I’ve done two of the Tier 4 Dungeons now. And they are a piece of cake. I literally was never in any danger. Even the bosses I faced were the easiest by far of any.

What gives? This makes no sense.

The capstone bosses are all overturned.

I’m not sure the game will let you do a t4 dungeon without having t4 world unlocked

So which is it?

Stuck on T3, or doing T4 NM dungeons?

You contradict yourself.

Tier 4 dungeons = lvl 58 enemies.
T4 capstone = lvl 70 enemies with a boss that could be easily 75+

Something isnt quite right here.

When I activate the Sigil, it tells me that I am doing a Tier 4 dungeon. I myself am Tier 3 and unlikely to get off of it anytime soon. But the game tells me I have entered a Tier 4 dungeion.

They very much are not.

Tier 4 dungeon on WT3. WT4 dungeons start at Tier 21.

That might be your core issue.

Elias was very very hard to beat on Sorc
I think i was trying at level 60 but simply unable to clear it until level 62

But sorc as a class are absolutely terrible against bosses especially at that point in the game
My druid friend on the other-hand cleared at level 58… and i was infuriated to hear when he did he killed on the first try and was disappointed that the fight wasnt harder…

You can’t do WT4 dungeons without being in WT4.

Sounds like you’re doing a tier 4 dungeon, which would translate into lvl 54ish enemies. (not the same as WT4)

WT4 Starts at lvl 70+ enemies, and the NM dungeons are tier 21+ for WT4.

NM enemies = Lvl of your sigil + 54 :upside_down_face:

I’m not sure what to tell you. I have now activated two sigils that took me to dungeons that the game then said were “Tier 4”. Maybe they were actually Tier 1 and it was laying. But the little banner popped up on my screen telling me it was Tier 4 so I figured, OK, guess I better be really careful.

You didn’t do a T4 dungeon if you haven’t finished the capstone. They were T3 or lower.

I’ll take your word for it. It sure as hell didn’t seem Tier 4. I just don’t understand why the game told me that it was.

Tier 4 NM dungeons, and World Tier 4 are two different things.

World Tier 3 dungeons go up to tier 20.

World Tier 4 dungeons start at tier 21 dungeons.

You have to finish the capstone to do T4 content

He is level 73. Of course he was hard to beat while you were level 60. Though Sorc does indeed kind of suck. I killed him in like 10 seconds with a minion necro at 62.

The capstone bosses are ridiculously easy just like every other boss in this game aside from Echo of Lilith. If you are struggling even though you are the appropriate level it is time to have a look at your build or your gear.

Oh so there’s more than one “Tier 4”?

Well that explains a lot…

There is a distinction between World Tier and Nightmare Dungeon Tiers.

World Tiers go from 1 to 4.

Nightmare dungeon tiers go up to 100. Tier 1 dungeons have lvl 53 monsters. Tier 100 dungeons have lvl 153 monsters.

Nightmare Tier 4 Dungeons are supposed to be extremely easy at your level, and that’s exactly your experience. If you want to try something closer to what the capstone dungeon is, you have to do Tier 17 or so dungeons. You can craft sigil at the Occultist.
