Deadly Scaling: Players Getting Destroyed in Old Content

It seems today’s scaling adjustment to the difficulty of War Within content may have had some… intense consequences elsewhere. We’ve seen a few reports of players just getting demolished by some older content. Considering recent developments, scaling seems like a likely suspect!

Deadly Ogres and Wolves

Let’s start off with a big one, as AedionMorris managed to get 1-shot (and then some) with 5.5 million HP:

Now sure, that’s an elite ogre Bruiser that has an attack that reduces armor by 20%! However, that still seems a LITTLE bit overkill.

But it seems that deadly ogre wasn’t just an isolated case, as Taladonnn ran into some wolves that may have gotten the same training as the Ashmaul:

The above situation is a little different, as it’s a leveling character, but the issue seems to be a similar one. We’ll see if more cases pop up and if Blizzard comment on the matter.
