Especially old content it appears…which is kind of ironic when it comes to TW, it’s not there as anything meaningful. The itemization of stats on TBC gear is horrendous anyway.

Honestly I was skeptical of TW raids from day 1, because I recalled Black Temple for example having mechanics that actually required coordination. The ability for a PuG to handle those was something I doubted.
But obviously they’ve managed over the years.
You know…
Just like in MoP Remix.
They have, but only because scaling puts everybody in a situation where we all severely overgear the content, even when scaled down by level.
With them instead scaling the content up, especially based on the damage profiles in both TW BT and dungeons this week, it seems far more likely they’ll scale it up to be similar to normal raids or higher, and then adding to that the problems you mentioned.
Yeah. I figured it was the scaling that let people handle the content. It will be interesting to see how things go with this change.
The specific boss I had in mind was Bloodboil. Back in the day he would put a nasty stacking DoT on the five furthest players from him, so you had to have five groups of players cycling to keep it down.
I would never expect a PuG to handle that. Imagine Vashj? Or Kael’thas?
Explain in detail how this change affects “token sales”.

I don’t know if I’ve seen any tanks survive the last boss in Blood Furnace last week.
It was painful, as melee. Dying to , something, instantly. had to have been 8 times or so.
They never used to be stupid easy
Hopefully this means timewalking scaling will be less volatile, so it’s not going to change as much every expansion going forward.
Rip my timewalking tank dps and healer sets. FUN detected

A worthy baby necro. Haven’t hopped in yet myself to see how garbo the change is, but might at least look into doing the TW quest on 1 character.
i dont think the change is live. This is for the PTR 11.0.5, not 11.0.2
Well that sucks. I really wanted to confuse people by pulling out Atiesh.

They are mowing through them from the opposite end of the spectrum now. Instead of the lowest level players having the most power now the highest level players have the most power.
Then can we delete the old legendaries yet? If they serve no purpose now, there is no reason for them to use up bag space.

They still exist for transmog.
Now if you want to delete your items out of bank/bag feel free.
You dont need items in the bags for transmog anymore.
They’ve been unable to be destroyed or vendored. That’s why I asked if we can delete/destroy them now.
