    So I'm finishing my second tank to 70 (69 PLD), what's the hate towards this dungeon in general? Why take the 30 min penalty?

    That's what I figured too, shouldn't I be getting more XP per kill in there compared to say Thousand Maws?

    I would get like this back in 2.0, but quickly realized it was due to me playing way too much. Once you get agitated it's time to log out. Now I log in, do a roulette if I want and enjoy what I get. Bardam's Mettle included.

    In general, leveling is so fast in this game I wouldn't think it made much of a difference no matter what you got for roulette. You finish the daily + challenge log you'll have a good boost in levels I'm sure.

    Its an extra kick to be sure.
    There's that too, which makes it even more a casual experience to level up. Just still don't see why that specific dungeon is a bad one? Or also how the 10 level difference would make anything better as suggested in the OP. I guess I was looking for a method to the madness, but in the end it seems to be just blowing off steam. Which is perfectly fine. Now we can all go back to saving the world and oiling down men in the hot springs for a quest giver.

    /raiseshand I'm past 66 and been dying since 1.0. I'll admit I didn't notice it, but I didn't notice it because like you said it evens out. I never look at the exact numbers and compare them. Now if I see a bunch of challenge logs and roulettes..first timers all roll out I like to look back and go "Look at all that XP right 'dere" But it isn't long lived, by then my cat is already annoyed I did a dungeon jumps up bites my elbow and we kung fu fight.

    Still.. #nowIknowSomething. I can take that knowledge with me to my grave..well not my grave but I'll at least think about it while I'm at Bojangles!

    And yeah - its easy to level up - just wish it was a bit faster...some times it feels like a drag out knock out fight to get to 50,60, and then 70. That last stretch is a pain.

    Like alot of said already,Leveling Roullette evens out no matter what dungeon lvl. Bigger bonus for lower dungeons, but more xp from mobs if it is a higher dungeon. Always ends up about the same. With all due respect if you're lvl 66 you should have noticed this by now.

    This.

    Bardam's Mettle gives around 2 Mio. XP for clearing plus a few 100k for roulette, while getting Sastasha in leveling roulette gives about 1,6 Mio. XP at level 66 + idk 10.000 XP for clearing the dungeon?!

    Also.. in case of a new player Sastasha only gives you maaaaybe 5k extra XP, while Bardam's Mattle should be around or even more than 100k XP.

    At level 65 (more precise: if you're on the exact level of the dungeon) you also get chain bonusses for killing many mobs in a row (idk, maybe 20-50% more XP from Mobs).
    Works only in the highest dungeon available (and not being already 1 level higher than demanded).

    The only time you should want a really low dungeon is when getting a q "in progress".
