Did anyone else weirdly find that they are almost weaker at level 80 even though more HP, Item Lvl, and stats?
I was playing last night and felt powerful but then I literally got out dps easily by a level 72 tank lol 
Also, I was running dungeons and somehow the lower level people did more damage.
Also the new hero talents changed almost nothing.
Also oddly the toughness of rares is all over the map, some can have the same HP but some are way easier than others.
Welcome to âearly-expansion-syndromeâ. Happens every time.
Itâs intended to be that way. Has been for several expansions now.
You havenât soloâd the dungeons yet? If you get above 75 it gets harder.
Oh you mean the end of the scaling spectrum where everything is at max power and weâre at our weakestâŚlike itâs been for 2-3 expansions now?
ShockingâŚ
Sadly, as the others have stated⌠This is the way it is. You are significantly weaker at level 80 than you were at level 70 with premium gear.
Scaling sucks. Especially iLvl scaling.
Has been like this since bfa. Itâs when it really started to get noticeable. Itâs so bizarre from a design standpoint that you start out so strong and then get weaker and weaker. 70-74 youâre very strong and at 77-79 youâre very weak.
Edit: I wouldnât be surprised if you can remove all your gear and only use a weapon and youâll still destroy mobs at level 70.
It is a little weird, but at least itâs not early MOP Remix levels of bad.
Could definitely be improved, but at least itâs playable.
At 70, you were 120+ ilvl over the content. As a fresh 80, youâre about 20 ilvl below the content. Thatâs a huge difference in power relative to the things youâre fighting.
Surprisingly I am still wearing my Teir gear (item level 512) at level 80 and surviving on my enhancement shaman. Though no idea why the health bars look jacked up for me since pre-launch started. I canât tell whatâs an elite or whatâs a normal monster anymore.
