ILVL jump from SL to DF is far too high

at lvl 59 you have ilvl 180 gear, at lvl 60 in DF you are expected to have ilvl 265 gear or you die very fast, only way to attain that gear is to now have a buddy take you into a mythic dungeon in SL or you are screwed. I had thought the devs purposfully fixed this by having the 372 catch up gear that lvl 60’s could equip this expansion only for it to get an emergency pach after I just bought it. Ive now been sitting at Antros for the last 3 hrs hoping a lvl 70 would come by and kill it so I could possibly get the 285 gear that drops from the SL world bosses. its things like this that the devs are doing that is irritating the hell out of the community.

Item level inflation is nothing new but Dragonflight is taking it to a whole new level…

It is irritating, but the good news is that you will have 372 ilvl stuff the second you hit 70. Don’t wait that long, it’s not worth it, you would take less time dying a little in DF and get better gear/levels out of it.

…huh? World quests at level 60 offer 226 gear. I have no idea where you got 265 from, but that sort of thing will last you at least a few levels until you start replacing it. If you want gear, just quest. If you’re having problems with survivability, quest with a tank/healer spec if your class has one.

how is your avatar doing that weird pink flash in front of your face?

It’s just the weapon in front of my character’s face. Female gnome avatars have been that way with 2hand weapons for a while now. Wish they’d fix it.
