Scaling in normal dungeons

Anyone else experiencing the frustration of, queuing for random Normals at 60, getting continuously pushed into either plaguefall or necrotic wake regardless of Ilvl (as the 50-55 player base is still the biggest) and yet the scaling as a 60 player making the dungeon tough as boots!

At 51-54 as a disc healer, necrotic wake was a cake walk, as a 60 with 148 Ilvl teamed up with 53-60s it is comparitivley MUCH more difficult.

Admittedly, I don’t get a lot of play time in the evenings, maybe 1 or 2 dungeons max, but in about 15 random dungeons since I hit level 60, I have done Halls of Atonement once and either Plaguefall or Necrotic Wake for the rest - I am literally yet to do another dungeon (and yes they are all listed as unlocked if I go to select them manually).

Is this just a me problem?

It’s just that we had a lot more relative power compared to our dungeon, especially if you had good endgame gear in BfA, you’re over gearing the dungeon rewards at 51-54.

Meanwhile the Frost DK I had at 75 ilvl has felt better and better as I’ve been doing SL.

Whereas at 60 the dungeon would be tuned to a higher item level which often we won’t have by then.

This happens every expansion which is why I spend the first two weeks making gold instead of doing dungeons.

I just leveled a Disc Priest and wow is the scaling in normals completely out of wack! It is downright horrible, through my entire 13 years playing I have never experienced so a unbalanced set up. I do not even know how to explain how screwed up this is.

Try doing Legion Chromie time. At level 10 the first 3 dungeons you will get are going to be Vault of the Wardens, Maw of Souls, and Black Rook Hold. It’s really bad.
