Go try Ivus out in Darkshore. He only has 823k health still (same as last week) @_@
It’s really annoying they refuse to address this. If this was an issue with the Mythic raid next week, it would be addressed and fixed in hours. No qualms about that, but it’s lame they don’t take these issues as seriously. Legion content and below should be more than faceroll at this point based on their promises pre-squish.

The only bene I have seen is the armour aspect of being 60 and 155 works. you get very hard to kill. Almost like you have to want to die really. Its just you hit like a wet noodle. Rare/Elite wq targets grind down slow. Saw that and said yeah not even going to go dungeon bosses for testing.

This is what pisses me off no end, they nerfed the crap out of the BFA gold missions, 2000g now only gives 200g, because that was of benifit to us (not really considering those WQs literally take a 60 longer to do than it did when we were 50 but lets ignore that fact), yet something like this that is actually broken and is a massive barrier for us who want to farm old content, they leave and don’t give a flying crap about.
Fast to nerf anything fun or benificial to the player. Slow or non existant to fix anything broken that hinders the player.
Get your priorities straight blizzard!!!
If I was a game dev i’d rather have a bug in my game that kept people happy and playing than a bug in game that literally makes people unsub.

And it probably make more players happy to fix this. Torghast done done or done as I want (I have one char I accept layer 2 clears and don’t like 3 on them).
Callings done.
After say 2 nights of dungeon runs I say I need a night off.
That night off going back to BFA for some closure goals would make me happy. BUt not when its more work and less pay lol. I mean I can find a SL leveling spot on the skinner/leather worker and make decent gold as I see the power levelers rush off leaving me all those carcasses lol.
I am a kind skinner. You kill it its yours. I don’t steal carcasses. You kill it and run off to your next quest…I assume you don’t skin and its fair game.

Putting in 10 boring levels and gearing up, to go back and have your face smashed in by a trivial grey 10 levels below you really isn’t fun blizzard.

I agree with the general concept of this thread, the BfA mobs needs to be scale nerfed (haven’t touched Legion / WoD mobs on a level 60 character so I can’t comment on those).
However, the grey 50 mobs do not “take longer to kill on a level 60 than a level 50 could”.
That’s just hyperbole.
Did you guys vendor your Azerite 3 pieces and HoA already? I killed Wekemara (last week’s Nazjatar World boss) 2 days ago on my level 60 warlock after re-equipping those 4 pieces (which brought my ilvl down to 167) solo.
I also can take down the regular mobs way faster on my 60 than my other level 50 warlock can, and I would never dare to attempt killing the BfA world boss solo on my level 50 character.
Again, I agree that the scaling needs to be better, I just feel that some posts can be misleading / exaggerated.
Equipping significantly weaker gear should never be the answer. That in of itself is a huge problem.

Well since Blizzard seems like they aren’t doing anything about this issue for the time being, those are the only tools that you have right now to make your old content farming life better - use it.
It’s not hyperbole. They are scaling up to level 60 stats while still being level 50-52.

Ridiculous. This is either a stupid oversite or a stupid decision on their part. Farming old content is a huge part of the game for some people. It was actually fun and rewarding. The longer this goes on the less faith I have that it isn’t intentional.

Hell, at level 50 my druid could keep a level 60 tank fully healed with just a few hots, now that im 60 im left spamming regrowth and healthbars not moving😊
If it’s “taking longer to kill them on a 60 than a 50 could”, your level 60 character’s ilvl must be pretty low, that’s all I can say.
Again, like I said earlier - I agree that the 50 mobs should be scaled down lower so level 60s can faceroll them - which right now, we can’t.
A lvl 60 toon with ilvl 150 should be able to burn down a mob significantly faster than a lvl 50 toon with ilvl 100 could do.

Yep at level 60 even in quest greens you should be facerolling any non-raid content in BFA. And once you get dungeon blues you should be able to walk right into BFA LFR and start smashing things.
No I don’t expect to walk into heroic or mythic BFA raids with dungeon blues, that would have to wait a bit, but still.

It’s not… trust me, I have 2 accounts, I literally had 2 DHs side by side, one with 105ivl at 50 and one at 153ilvl at 60 and the level 50 killed the same mobs faster than the 60.
The mobs were scaled/health much higher on the 60.
I have photos to prove it too but I can’t post the link here for some reason.

The worst part about this now is that they CLAIMED to have fixed it in yesterday’s hotfix but nothing changed.

Yup, and i’m very worried that once they made this claim, they washed their hands of the issue and it’ll be anough x months before we hear anything at all about it.

Why do you want endless power creep? Bigger numbers are meaningless. The game isn’t hard. The time it takes you to beat old content isn’t a gauge for how successful you are as a player.
The purpose of gaining levels shouldn’t be to trivialize the content. You become stronger because you can kill stronger enemies, not kill weak enemies faster.
You seem like the type of person who considers themselves a PvP god because you can gank lowbies without risk. You’re what’s wrong with the game.
I’m not saying you guys are making this up without proof, so no worries about posting screenshots.
I don’t know how may times I have to type the same thing - I do agree that the 50 mobs should be scaled down lower so level 60s can faceroll them.
But if it’s “ taking longer to kill them on a 60 than a 50 could”, your level 60 character’s ilvl must be pretty low, that’s all I can say.
