Level 101 characters "speed running" dungeons - what is this?

[Hctaz]

Yeah none of that behavior actually happened.

You did not encounter anyone soloing a dungeon if you were in a group.

You did not encounter anyone AT YOUR LEVEL (Non-110) doing this.

You can't equip legendaries before reaching 110.

1 Million DPS on a lvl 101 character is impossible. They can literally not equip gear capable of this.




Here are the things that could happen;

You were in a premade with a 110 with gear.

You were on a drug and/or dreamed your scenario.

Uh...

Apparently you're on drugs. Yes this is a very real thing. You actually CAN equip legendary items starting at level 101 as well as equip any BoE epic 101 items that can titanforge up to the max of 955. 1 million dps on a lvl 101 character is not impossible because you can literally be better geared than some 110s with BoEs. Not only that but the stat scaling means that a level 830 piece of gear on your 101 will be significantly better than on a 110. You still get 1300 haste rating per item but 1300 haste on a 101 is something like 5% and on a 110 is like 1%

They were definitely just running through the instance by themselves and killing everything in one shot. Also dps scales based on the level so a level 109 will see level 101s doing significantly more damage than is normally possible because of the way scaling works. If the level 101 hits for 500k at their level and that one shots the mobs in the dungeon but for you the mobs have 6 million health then that level 101 will appear to have just done 6 million damage in one attack. It can definitely happen.

The dps over 2 million is relative to the bosses percentage of health for a 110 but on the 101 it looks much lower than that in actual numbers.

Whooooo boy. You're brave jumping in here spouting garbage. I'll put it down to naivety when it comes to understanding game mechanics.

Look at this character.

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/ch...agrand/aelixia

Level 101 with 848 ilevel.

62% crit chance
47% haste
57% mastery
39% versatility.

Compare that to lets say, seeing as we're comparing tanks, Scos progression Guardian Druid, Scobomb, shall we?

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/ch...n-mill/scobomb

20% Crit strike
12% Haste
17% Mastery
18% Versatility

101 twinking works because it abuses the level scaling mechanics gaining you obscene amounts of stats by equipping overstatted gear at your level.

People can and do this, and achieve those numbers mentioned when AoEing down pack in dungeons. As someone said above though, relative scaling to level affects DPS meters, but these people do wreck the dungeons regardless.

Its funny how we all jumped in and roasted the fuck out of him... I mean... some people really should play the game before speaking. It would probably really help them make proper statements regarding the possibility of things.

It isn't just the ignorance, but the certainty, that makes him so roastable

[Kaleredar]

...what, precisely, is the point of dropping tons of gold to be power-run through dungeons?


You could just level up the normal way and reach 110 in a day or two. Non of the gear, or anything those dungeons drop, would matter at 110.

You missed the XP locking part. The point is to stay at 101 so you can be absurdly powerful and make gold by boosting people from 100-110 through super fast dungeons.

I smell burned flesh and it's pretty smoky in here, what happened?

No he's asking why somebody would pay to be run through these dungeons and the answer is time efficiency. Why level over the course of a day or two when you can be max level in a couple of hours?

Time efficiency. Why spend a day or two leveling to 110 normally when you can get power run to 110 in a few hours?

Nah kid maybe if you actually played the game you would know what you're talking about. Look at everyone roasting you lmao.

Keep it civil

[Kaleredar]

Time efficiency. Why spend a day or two leveling to 110 normally when you can get power run to 110 in a few hours?

Because the amount of time spent in both is probably fairly similar, what with heirlooms and XP boosts available to normal leveling toons.

So all you're really out is a bunch of gold at the end of it.

It's definitely much faster to get run through dungeons than it is to level manually via questing. All of those heirlooms and XP boosts available work inside of dungeons too, remember?

The way they probably do it is by inviting the person to the group and then chain farming random dungeons as a tank or healer for those instant queue times. This gives you bonus experience from the random as well... It's a lot of experience when you can literally speed run a dungeon in under 5 minutes repeatedly.

...no, I'm asking why the people being BOOSTED would pay. What are you saving? A few hours?

[Tradu]

...no, I'm asking why the people being BOOSTED would pay. What are you saving? A few hours?

Yeah, misread your post. And yes, you would save multiple hours, which is pretty noticeable when it only takes like... 10 hours without heirlooms in the first place.

[Phookah]

...no, I'm asking why the people being BOOSTED would pay. What are you saving? A few hours?

The same reason that level boosts are available in the shop. Some people would rather pay some gold/money and be capped in a few hours rather than spend 10-15 hours leveling to themselves for the same result.

You're so wrong it's hilarious.

Sure, but boosting from 1-100 is saving you a great deal more time and travel than just 100-110.


That's converting a few days of leveling down to literally the press of a button, versus converting... what, 10 hours of leveling down to four? For how much gold, again?

[MonsieuRoberts]

Just a twink, nothing special.

Check your facts before you take drugs or dream up a reply in future.

It's still faster. Speed is the name of the game and some people really don't like questing. I have 8 110s all of which I leveled in 7.0. I can see it.
