Increase Difficulty of Dungeons

You have to remember a few things. When you queue in that instance most of the people are wearing gear multiple ilvls higher then that dungeon. So if it were scaled around ilvl 70 then someone who is 80 queuen might be in 490ilvl gear.

The dungeon is supposed to auto adjust that gear and abilities to ilvl 70 but that is not always a smooth process so you go in a nuke the instance especially with a very geared tank and healer. Any healer in gear that is actually lvl 41 for Stone Vigil would not be able to keep up with the healing demand.

There is also hard modes for Stone Vigil that I never see anyone chain pull.

That's what I thought too but the healer was leveling and only in around level 35 gear. Another reason I was surprised we were clearing everything as quickly as we were.

So if it were scaled around ilvl 70 then someone who is 80 queuen might be in 490ilvl gear.

Isn't level 70 ilvl around 400?

I have to admit I did just run Aurum Vale and it was more challenging than expected given the tank had good gear. Sometimes the scaling does seem better and you can have fun and feel engaged but that Stone Vigil run really surprised me.

Main Scenario quest are a good example where the ilvl is supposed to be adjusted by bosses just get nuked. The ability sets are different also. This is just my best guess as to why it got pulled so quickly. That tank was probably geared and that healer was sweating lol

Old dungeons are geared for older ability kits. New jobs and updated kits are usually scaled for end-level content. RDM is a prime example of potency being broken at early level.
