Good day,
I want to bring up the question you have all probably noticed by now: that elites out in the world are demigods compared to their instanced brothers and sisters.
A few examples:
- The lvl 36 Scarlet mob outside SM Cath hits harder than Commander Mograine inside it.
- Getting in to BFD is harder than the actual instance, despite the mobs being ~4 to 6 levels lower.
- Hideskinners in Jintha'Alor crit for up to 700 damage. Tanking two of these requires shieldwall.
- You can tank any boss in Zul'Farrak with a renew/rejuv as the only healing source without a problem.
Before I start researching I just want to get a feeling which of the two is correct, because frankly it is hard to just pull off random memories from back in the day. Personally I believe the answer lies somewhere in between: world elites are overtuned and instance mobs, in particular bosses, are undertuned.
I have not gotten to EPL yet, but it should be fairly easy to get some original footage of Tyr's Hand - a common place for both melee and ranged to farm elites. My gut feeling is that the melee mobs there can 3 shot a warrior, like most other elites do at the moment.
