Idk what your ilvl on your main is, but for me things began to plateau at around 160ish ilvl. At that point, in Ret I had 0 trouble doing things and at 164 it was significantly easier.
So I’m guessing it’s a slog until around 159-165
Scaling is nice: it keep the game relevant all expansion.
If you want to one-shot things and cheese the game, go play past expansions.
Relevant how? Cheese the game, how? It’s an RPG, leveling up and getting better equipment is SUPPOSED to make it easier. You aren’t supposed to struggle with BOARS when you are a max level adventurer with all epic equipment. We have killed TITANS, DRAGON ASPECTS, and LICH KINGS.

Agree 100% there is no reason to have to use 8 skills on a normal mob. At 179 I dont feel any faster grind than I did at 100

I’m feeling a lot of the same, though those Maw enemies still hit hard, the health pool feels manageable with the damage though now. World quest enemies that were really rough at first though are now getting shot down pretty heavy already. Then again 2 handed obliterate crits really hard.
Its not 1:1 power ratio. After the fist patch in bfa it became a moot point.
We don’t forget. It just isn’t working that way. They’ve goofed the math.

I thought the entire purpose of gaining levels was to get stronger.
All I did was grow weaker. And even when I got 60, the more gear I got, the worse it felt.
This is not how levels and better gear is supposed to work.

I think it might actually be worse for classes that don’t scale well.
Also how are we weaker at legion content than before. They’ve goofed the math.

The idea is always contrary to the way an mmo plays. It was always bad. I can’t believe they aren’t ashamed of themselves.

I’m betting the scaling in the maw is insane. It feels like mobs are harder to kill and more dangerous at 181 on my boomkin than they were at 150 in the maw specifically

Yes, we killed many, but we lost the power that enable us to kill them.
You have combat experience, with no power until you loot the corpse of your enemies.
Don’t become an unworthy like Baine…
Bow down before the Dark Lady, Goddess of Death!
For the Forsaken!
Death to the living!
Yeah, level scaling fine, ilvl scaling, not, like its not fun when i get stronger but i feel weaker.

Definitely killed the Lich King without any borrowed power. Sorry but you are wrong and so is your viewpoint. There should be no scaling with ilvl, level 60 mobs should be tuned around the quest items you get while leveling up.

Was the same way in BFA at first and Ion refused to budge on it. He responded you are still getting stronger even though we struggling just as much.
I guess they just want the start of new expansions to feel as slow and tedious as possible. Good way to run people off I guess.

Wait, really?
I don’t want to try, I’m scared. Give it to me straight: how bad is it?
When you loot a new piece of gear, it give’s more power to you. Endless cycle.
You killed the Lich King with gears and weapons from his armies, and previous bad boys. It’s technically more stealing than borrowing.
That was always one of my favorite things in wow – that as you leveled up you FELT more powerful. You could go back and lay waste, so easily, to the enemies that were once difficult. And, of course, there was always some max-level area to farm stuff in as well. I hated that about ffxiv - I never felt powerful like I did in wow. Now, coming back to wow, I realize it’s actually worse than ffxiv. It’s not game-ending, but I do agree that it does not feel good, the way it currently is.

Noticed this while leveling through Revendreth, went from only having minor struggles with mobs, hit that zone and my health bar drops in chunks instead of the smaller more manageable amounts before this zone. It’s almost like everything here was scaling faster than I was.
