Enemy scaling @ lvl 50

[siberian7]

Since turning 50 I noticed it is noticeably harder, lvl's 40-49 were easier, I had gone thru HOH without dying but I have not been able to do it since turning 50.

anyone else notice a big change?

I'm not sure if it was because I was undergeared until lvl 50 but it seemed alot easier once I hit lvl 50.

I'm hoping it is, It would be a shame if it was the same Skill Difficulty! Want some challenge to go into End Game with!

It's not a BIG difference, but once you hit the cap, it really depends on your runes and armor you have.

Basically, I'm tapping out at 179 base armor (Orange) for my Champion with a 90% increase in my armor level.

I assume once I start getting some of the RED equipment it'll be a little smooth sailing.

I think it was your gear. I was talking with Skacal last night as we went through the Ice Forest. I went from level 44 to 49. He was saying that you really need to gear up for 50 because a new enemy set kicks in. More polarities and such. Damn you Light Elite Ice Beam Trolls damn you to Hel. Soften trolls suck too.

I found level 50 to be much harder, especially when you are running through the levels again not related to the campaign. Getting 3-5 trolls at once really does suck, especially when they are all polarities and play off each other to really Ef you up.

Anyone notice that before hitting 50 that the sniper elves would wait about 3-5 seconds between shots and that after hitting 50 the sniper elves wait about 1 millisecond between shots? I ran across one last night and just about freaked out at how often he was shooting me.

Those guys, Elite Dark Ice Beam Trolls, and Elite Dark Softening Trolls coupled with any number of missle goblins and Elf Leaders = you WILL die at least once.

ok this is one thing that really bothers me.

As Henry@SK stated , enemies do scale but ONLY your base level.
Having awesome armor/weapon will not count towards the enemy scale.
My initial thoughts were , damn I guess I can feel godly afterall.

However that is far from the truth.

Although your dmg/armor rating increases significantly , having a screen full of polarities , 3-5 trolls , spider archer thingy , there is no way in hell I can ever become godly
Infact , I will weaker now than I felt at lvl 7 :?

Enemy scaling is a double edged sword, I like to feel godly and have a challenge at the same time lol

I think Diablo 2 executed this flawlessly..

Some of those elite dark elves really @#$@ me up...

Nothing is worse than going into a room and seeing waves of polarities come at you backed up by trolls and assault goblins.

I still cry when I see all those missiles fly my way...
