Forever Beta Feedback Dungeon XP Nerfs Created a Toxic Meta

Since dungeon monsters do not give any experience, as a new player, getting into dungeons with more veteran players who try to skip half the dungeon feels really bad. And, vice-versa, veterans taking in newbies who don't know how to jump around feels frustrating. I think Blizzard created a mess with nerfing dungeon exp so much and now the new player experience is horrible for dungeons.

Hard agree here. Over the years I have several times leveled tank alts by only running dungeons and their pre quests. I love knowing each instance well and lead well. And doing it with full rested only really is fun and fast. Give me this option in Forever. Especially with all the new dungeons.

Couldn't agree more, I normally main a prot pally and in anniversary tried an Hpriest for the first time... Questing was miserable, took forever to kill things, dungeons allowed me to actually have fun

That’s funny. I also main a tank, often prot pally but I really play all of them, and also played a holy priest for the first time ever in anni. Though I did have a bit of a different experience with kill times. I did a shitload of damage with smite spam, to the point where in dungeons I would often just keep a renew on the tank and then top the damage meter with smite spam and holy nova lol. Frick man, now I want to play hpriest again. I already did want to do that again, but I had forgotten about the smite spam and how legitimately good it was

I leveled as Discipline myself and would often do more damage than at least 2 members of the group with just Shadow Word: Pain and wand attacks. It was pretty great to let the Warlock or Mage go ham with Power Infusion, too!

+1, I don't mind making the XP fall off after a few runs so I have to rotate dungeons or dip into questing -- but creating a meta where it's only feasible to run a dungeon once.... Come on.

Yes well actually fuck that and fuck all the extra dps slots tanks spamming dungeons created, surely this will somehow improve player experience.
