So, as the title says, anyone knows what would be faster to level from 70 to 80 ? TW dungeons or normal dungeons ? TW dungeons has a better XP reward at the end. I’m 75 and TW dungeons give 100500 XP per dungeon, while normals give 67000. Maybe TW dungeons are longer, I don’t know. Any idea ?
In Shadowlands and Dragonflight it was definitely timewalking dungeons. There was a bug that allowed you to max out a character in like 2 hours at the beginning of Shadowlands. Blizzard nerfed it but it was well liked so they increased the exp they give substantially to compensate.
BC dungeons tend to be very short, but also very annoying. Really depends on the experience you want. If you don’t mind getting stunned for 10 seconds every 6 seconds, you will probably level a lot faster.
Probably TW, idk how the scaling affects it now. But tbc dungeons are very quick with a good tank.
Yeah I noticed that. I’m tanking and it’s usually smooth, but sometimes, I receive a ton of damage out of nowhere.
I’ve been averaging about 3 dungeons per level as I’m leveling my Warlock through Timewalking dungeons. Queues have been rather quick tonight, as they were last night. No idea if that’ll slow down later in the week, but I’m taking advantage while I can.
I should also mention that I’m playing a Pandaren with full Rested XP, so you mileage will likely vary.
Is there like a scaling bug or something ? Sometimes, I’m at full health and drops to ~15% health without even receiving a single hit
Tw’s have better end of dungeon xp. At level 75 regular dungeons 67k. Tw’s a little over 100k

Time walks usually give better xp, and always have, especially end of dungeon xp. Probably an added incentive to get people to run them for more than just the reward after doing the 5. Sitting in a tw queue right now with a 72 dk. Already got one of my hunters to 80 just running tw’s.
TW dungeons, best time to level alts.
Yes. Trash mobs, particularly some casters, are completely overtuned. You will get 2 shot by certain trash while the boss falls over like a wet noodle.
it depends on the expansion. TBC has always been favored by players though because the dungeons tend to be straightforward and quick. The later the expansion, the more annoying it tends to get (Court of Stars anyone? Or even Throne of the Tides or End Time).
The thing about dungeon gimmicks (like Court of Stars) is that it’s novel the first time, maybe the first 5 times, but after that it’s just an annoyance, like unskippable RP.

Usually TW is faster, but it evens out later in the expansion when giga-overgeared tanks and healers are farming satchels in Normal. TW queue time is usually faster, unless you get the bug where it says 5 minutes and it takes 30 minutes.
Thank you, that’s what I thought.
Haven’t checked yet but at least previously, TW dungeons completion xp at least use to be 50% higher than normal dungeons.
edit: just checked, yep still 50% more xp, nice
