Today I learned level 10 twinkling was a thing.
I was leveling in LFD and a level 10 twink holy priest was doing an admirable job of keeping a 4 man party going in EoA - all while doing 2x as much dps as the rest of the group.
In another thread here, another level 10 twink said they can solo Legion dungeons.
In a way it sounds like a really fun way to solo a lot of content - but you only have 6 abilities which sounds boring as hell.
Then I thought about the recent controller integration - that could be fun!
But then I thought with 6 buttons it could be a mobile game. What if they integrated level 10 twinks on mobile into the game!
Then I threw up in my mouth a little.
… still it would beat reading the forums on the can…. I can’t decide.
Thoughts?
Twinks also mean a hairless lad. Thats my thought.

No its not a thing since they don’t get queues anymore after Blizz killed twinking by seperating xp off and xp on brackets.
I think these are pve twinks…

Blizz didn’t kill 'em. The lack of defenseless levelers to farm prompted them to kill themselves. Their queues would thrive if they were interested in facing one another.

No, it’s for pve only. People with xp off get separate pvp queues, but we don’t get separate dungeon queues.
There are still level 20 and 50 pvp twinks with xp off by simply not paying for the full game or not buying shadowlands.
@OP, even though I have few spells, I have 24 binds including consumables and my frag belt. I have about the same amount of binds on my HDH running the easy build.

I’ve seen people with an “Experience Eliminator” buff in leveling BGs that say “someone in your party opted not to gain experience or something your exp gains are vastly reduced” so apparently twinking is pretty alive and well.

Its interesting you say it was a level 10 Holy Priest and that they were doing ok in that instance. At that level they have one healing spell (Heal) plus PW:S along with their own selfheal (Desperate Prayer). Plus Power Word Fortitude to give their party extra stam.
I guess if they were in a party with the rest of the players all having self heals it would be ok. And as for dps, everything just about that they have at that level is offensive abilities. Shadow Word: Pain, Mindblast and Smite, so they have more offensive than healing abilities. They should do decent dps if they have the time.
Yea nobody does that. You are talking literally a handful of people.
Well, it’s at least 150, that’s how many level 10 twinks are in the community I’m in.

And out of those probably only 30 actively playing their level 10s. Like I just said its a handful of players.
Level 19 twinks were the most commonplace and theres not even enough of them with xp off to get a bg queue.
I was shocked honestly. Yeah like one or 2 heals. I’ve seen so many wipes on the serpent pull there I was kind of shocked. The rest isn’t so surprising, but that pull can be a mess.
Gave it a run last night not long after I posted this.
With nothing but a mix of enchanted heirlooms, starter gear, and the legion artifact (without relics) on a level locked DI resto shaman I was easily doing 2x dps and easy mode heals.
In a group of mostly lvl 35-45. Both of my 2 heals were each able to fill 1/2 a level 45 tanks bar with one cast.
It’s like god mode - I can’t even imagine what this would be like fully geared.
Not sure if I’ll stick out gearing him up though. I miss AoE. I’ll give it a “fun while drunk” seal of approval.

Ok if it’s 30? That’s still great. You only need 5 to do what level 10s can do anyway. I don’t pvp.
