Just tanked a Timewalking dungeon (Black Rook Hold) with my 481 paladin. Nearly died about 20 times; the mobs are hitting way harder than they used to in Timewalking. The entire group was popping defensive CDs on every trash fight just to avoid wiping.
I realize this is probably because of the TWW changes, but we’re still capped at 70 with DF gear, so it seems like the scaling should maybe be tuned down a bit this week.
welcome to the world of scaling
i think it might be “scaled to level 80” like the older raids which got their HP buffed and actually hit again.
I’m 484 on my Druid an they hit me like a truck! Had to take it a little easy. Reminded me of Classic dungeons.
nope working as intended tanked Just fine did so far 32 in a row didn’t die once neither did my group but i also did small pulls
Learn to ignore the pain , pinky
Was healing healier and it pretty much feels like its a bit overtuned. Was using CD on every trash. Wiped a few times on Eye.
After that, went to the mage tower and it felt the same… Never been before so its all new, but i’ve watch some YT vid, read the guide on wowhead and wanted to give it a go. Failed miserably on the first stage of the resto thing (my healing/damage was almost useless… the guys that enraged on the first stage almost 2 shoted me and were 0 slowed…) and gave a few tries on the ele part. That one… Could get the boss at 93%. I’m not the best player, but am i that bad?.. Some YT vids (< 1y) were like “one of the easiest tower to do…” I’m not sure i agree…

Looks like secondary stats are out of whack; scaling off there specifically.
At 70, 2956 Vers Rating, 14.32%/7.16%
In Timewalking: 53 Vers Rating, 2.17%/1.09%
No doubt they’re expecting everybody to just git gud.
100% it isnt correct. I dont understand why someone is sayin it is when it clearly isnt. these instances are supposed to be heroic level for max level character and they are way more difficult than heroic level, with item level drops at 467 instead of the heroic ilvl 476.
I doubt blizz will do anything about it unless they get a crap tonne of feedback reports about the issue.
Somehow nothing in this game feels properly scaled.
I just did a Black Rook Hold and it really felt like i was doing a M+15 key when it was in season. The scaling is way off for the time walking dungeons.
I know that Blizz wants us to require healing as tanks but should an event like timewalking really require me to know the dungeons like they were mythics.
I feel bad for someone who is not familiar with tanking trying to hop into a timewalking and not feel overwhelmed.
yea BRH at the very least is massively overtuned, the one run i did on my warlock i had to panic pop my 35% healthstone 7 times and even had to soulstone the tank in a 5 man dungeon for the first time in ages
Nah I still go HAM and just laugh when everyone else dies.
I am also seeing people still being like “iT’s OnLy Tw” and even ran into a group where the healer was in DPS spec, they didn’t last long before we kicked them.
Definately tuned up but they are doing another pass tomorrow to increase the scaling/difficulty on timewalking dungeons another 200% to be more fair and in line with expectations.
Have to play now cant just speedrun to the end.
The stats are tunned poorly. I just noticed why on my tanks are taking so much damage is the fact armor is scaled all the way down. My bear doesn’t even getting 10% armor reduction. Getting 3 stacks of ironfur I can barely get 20%. It’s why everyone and the tank are taking absurd damage. Suppose to be scaled for lvl 45 but getting the armor of a lvl 5
At level 58 on bear, i have bit for 5k armor. Going into timewalking that is for level 45. I have 98 armor…
I’ve done TW for years and have never had anything hit like the trash in Court of Stars. We had >15 deaths. Generally I’m safe to take a healer I’m just learning with on TW for some mellow practice, but not right now.
Edit: on the other hand, Darkheart Thicket wasn’t too awful, we only had a few deaths. Still… since when does anyone die in Timewalking?!
Like you actually have to do the mechanics and not pull 20-40 mobs all by your lonesome? Dunno bout you but I will savor it.
Skill issue. Your healer probably sucked or you sucked at defensives. Just did the Vault where the demon hunters came out of and as a blood dk rocked that place.
Oh and dont pull half the dungeon and drag stuff around.
20 years of tweaking things will do that
Tried with 3 different groups, careful pulls, pathing, cc’s, etc. and could barely down the first boss. Party had 14k to 23k health each, and were taking 5-6kish damage from enemy AoE dots and 10kish from melee. Plate wearers were downed in about 3 seconds in some pulls.
