Leveling Difficulty Changes Incoming

[Phenomenon-hydraxis]

As an experiment. I took one of my high end geared alts, She’s 493 geared and started the Dalaran experience.

At level 70, A Nerubian War-Weaver standing right outside the entrance you spawn at has 222 K Health.

I then took another level 70 alt I have, whos severely undergeared. She’s iLvl 337.

Same Mob. 222 K Health.

Now we all know that my 493 alt can absoluely delete this mob, meanwhile my 337 alt it took a few rotation as is expected.

I do think that yes, indeed, something does need to be done scaling wise for higher end level 70s.

I will report back tomorrow after the change to see if both characters were affected and by how much. As I believe that is only fair.

Post change:

Same ILvl 493 character.
The Nerubian War-weaver standing right outside the entrance you spawn at now has 495k HP. – Whereas yesterday it took two seconds to kill it now has taken an entire rotation. Upwards of 10 seconds.

Same iLvl 337 character:
Same Mob - now has 225 K HP. And took multiple rotations to kill. upwards of 15 seconds.

This feels, absolutely bad. My iLvl 493 character no longer feels like the elite she was yesterday. So much for the legacy of having good gear from the previous expansion means you’re overpowered in the next one during the levleing experience.

Edit: This confirms that all level 70s were affected. Not just those with high end DF equipment, though they will feel it more than undergeared will as they were already feeling it.
