today after the patch me and the people i play with were running nightmare dungeons and hell tides in WT3 (for reference i’m 61 and the lowest in the group is 50). we all kept getting gear drops that were WAY under powered. for instance out of like 3 hell tides getting 4 chest of tortured mysteries and a couple of other chests and 6 nightmare dungeons 3 1 tiers, 1 6 tier 1 8 tier and 1 10 tier. most of the gear the was dropping was 15-20 levels lower than us and also most of the time 100-200 item power lower than what we were using. I’ve gotten 3 unique legendries that i have just had to dismantle because of how weak/ under leveled they are. this was not an issue that any of us were having until this most recent update.
The tier youre in directly translates to level of gear dropped. You are currently capped untill you all farm on tier 4.
before the update i was getting drops around 705-715 ilvl and they were dropping at my level. now im getting drops that are level 40-50 and ilvl 500-600.
