GREAT! we are even weaker at level 60 on older content than we were at 120 OR 50. Great scaling

i just hit level 60 and im having a lot of trouble in nighthold. Im barely making a dent against Trilliax and i die within a few minutes. Something is very wrong. I should be stomping these bosses like I was in BFA to WoD bosses.

Yeah, I don’t buy the “well, you’re no longer in X.3 gear” as an excuse, when these are mobs that should be tuned for X.3 gear, or lower. They keep promising us that if we could do something before the squish, we’ll still be able to do it afterwards, completely botching the scaling, and people will defend them with “well, the gear you did it in is obsolete” even when it’s the same gear, or better gear (allegedly).

Just got doing a BC raid. At ilvl 155, my covenant ability worked but was weak sauce and there is a big difference from when I did it last week at level 50. If its noticeable in a BC raid, then their adjustments are way off like their lies.

No, it’s entirely fair and valid.

Doing half the damage of someone still in the previous expansion is absurd. They should have tuned the bosses around this. It’s just laziness.

Gotta love that “borrowed power” reliance we have, oh what’s that a new expansion? Well kiss that mog farm good bye for a long while. :stuck_out_tongue:

Bumpity bump bump

You’d think it wouldn’t be THAT hard to say “Hey guys, we’re aware and we’re totally going to fix it” but I guess it is for a small company like Blizz haha

Legion raids will now only be soloable on mobile. Don’t you guys have phones?
Small indy company

So I went back to BFA the other day thinking I would solo a dungeon for an achievement I needed. Nup, didn’t happen. I couldn’t believe I was doing the same level of damage I was in BFA at level 120 (now 50) before the pre patch.

Thinking it is just a dungeon issue I went and attacked uldum nzoth forces to test
 and found some trash pleb npc
 who yup you guessed it
 took JUST AS LONG to kill now at 60 than it did at 120 (50).

I actually have gained 10 levels with 0 reward or progression. That is quite literally the anti-MMO. What the actual hell blizz?! 10 levels above I should have decimated that pleb NPC.

Can blizz please address this, this is NOT right.

Did they fix this yet or nah?

The scaling is so crazy that a level 51 gnome rogue — decked in BFA gear — was actually doing decent damage on my level 60 hunter decked in SL gear.

What was your ilvl?

I see lots of level 60’s that have half my ilvl and way less health than me.

I think I just hit heroics, so probably around 155.

So i guess they still haven’t fixed it then

Its much worse. Compare 120s uncorrupted on patch 8.3(solo,kill times at level 120 outdoor stuff,etc), and you notice a massive power nerf when going into prepatch. Going from soloing mythic ursoc to getting stomped or double the kill times of before at best is just insulting. And the power wreck didn’t stop there. In shadowlands our power level is so low its not even funny. We cant solo mythic legion raids at level 60 anymore EVEN IF WE COULD SOLO SOME OF THEM ON PREPATCH BUT CANT ANYMORE!

Oh, and extra salt in the wound? Soloing BFA outdoor content takes much longer at 60 because stuff keeps scaling beyond level 50:

I canceled my sub because of this.

I’m hoping the maintenance Monday will involve the scaling issues, but I don’t know if I want to get my hopes up.

Legion is old content, it should be one shot easy.

Very frustrating.
