Scaling

Argah

The scaling on this is so messed up, completed the main story before level 17 now I'm back to the first area at level 40 the same ads take much more effort to kill than they did at level 5... that is just messed up, I'm getting weaker instead of strong if your gonna do scaling you need to cap enimes a few level below always so you actually feel like some progress is being made.

How do you guys feel about the issue?

Sounds like someone forgot to upgrade his armor. You are at significant disadvantage if you use low level armor on high level character.

You get scaled up to level 50+, the scaling bonus gradually goes away.
Yes you get stronger but at level 40 you should have an rotation, as in dropping damage on the time and area effect damage fist, then spam standard attack. Also get some to craft you some set armor and weapon it help a lot.

This^. It also helps that there's no information about what types of enemies, location (exact zone), as well as what type of class and build you're using. Some skills become obsolete after leveling. Back when levels actually MATTERED, you felt how mean things were. Soloing a dolmen was always a gamble because once a lightning atronach spawned? You knew right then and there you were going to have a bad day.

My rotation is spear shards for area effect reflective light for DOT destructive clench for damage and puncturing sweep spam, still takes more time to kill enemies than being under level 5 and doing heavies.

He has came up with an extremely good solution, maybe you take notice and don't let others go through the same tedious journey we had.
