I almost cleared the timer on a 10 Maw of Souls tonight, but we wiped on Helya because someone stood in a green swirl and got one shotted. I'm 870 ilvl, and everyone else in the group was above 860.
I get that higher gear will be needed to clear a mythic 15, but tbh, I question how much more gear will actually help. The higher levels seem to increase enemy stats by more and more. The health and damage increase going from 1 to 2 is +8%. The increase from 10 to 11 is 16%. That seems bad enough when you realize that in general, 1 ilvl is equal to 1% more stats, so for an 11 to feel as easy as a ten, everyone in the group would need to gain nearly 16 ilvls, but it's actually worse. The level 10 affixes, Tyrannical/Fortified, are multiplicative with the increase from the keystone level. For example, Tyrannical adds 20% increased boss damage and 40% increased boss health. That does not bring a boss from 216% health up to 256% health, it brings them up to 302% increased health. This scaling is only going to get more absurd, assuming the higher levels continue to scale faster than the lower ones.
I don't know if my group sucks, or it's a comp issue, but I see mythic 15 as being nearly impossible even in full 895s. It seems like it's designed for everyone to have double legendaries, full 920 gear, 54 traits and 4PT19 from mythic Nighthold.
Don't mistake this for me complaining. I like a good challenge. I'm just genuinely curious what most people are clearing, and most of all, if anyone has gotten a 12 or 13 down. I don't see the point in busting my balls with pushing until I know for sure that a 14 has been cleared by someone. I'd rather just farm 6+ for more gear and AP till then.
