Enough With The Trial Upscaling, Okay? :-\

[Cultusfit]

No no scaling on this account

1 gave up something you didn't realize you needed more
2 took a break and lost a bit of skill

Are the options.

As Coda said... there is no upscaling. This is proven by people doing T100 for xp, and their clear times progressively decreasing as they get better gear & more CL. If upscaling was true, with more CL and better gear would come slower clear times. This is clearly not the case.

Some reasons for why you might be losing at lower trials

* OP is not nearly as skilled a player as he thinks he is.

[Coda]

It is incorrect that Trials scale vs. the player's stats.

Some reasons for why you might be losing at lower trials
1. Map RNG
2. That damage replaced something that doesnt affect Sheet DPS (AR is what Im thinking here)
3. You replaced haste with power, which makes sheet dps go up, but loses actual DPS.
4. You lost toughness so therefore die more.
5. IDK there's more but I cant think of them right now.

TL96, 1002K Damage, 100K Toughness. Playing on TL91, I've got Healers who were annihilated after one draw rotation at around 920K now taking three draw rotations, with their healing nearly outpacing my DPS. That's not supposed to be happening.

Enemy damage output seems higher too, and enemy count and elite rates shot way up after I added that extra Damage. Seems to be happening on all TLs.

I've suspected that it was happening since I started playing, but my Mage's most recent Damage increase was pretty steep given that it required no play time. So the upscaling was drastic and immediate enough for me to really notice this time.

What I'm saying is that even though I'm on TL96 now and cleared TL91 with much less DPS, TL91 is now behaving as if it were several TLs higher based on how it's soaking an almost 100K increase in Damage as if it weren't even there. That was a 10% increase in Damage on my end versus what is supposed to be static TL-specific values.

It reeks.

When my main Mage starts struggling on TLs 5 below her current ceiling after picking up 93K in Damage, it's pretty obvious that Trials are set to scale to character power instead of TL. Apparently, those lucky Reforge rolls, the re-allocation of CL points, and my first decent drop in ages are biiiiig no-no's when I've got only $2.00 on my purchase record. Much punish needed. :-(

Not really sure what you mean. Are you saying that Trial toughness is scaled on how much power a character has?

I believe there's a scaling for both DMG and TOUGHNESS of monsters per trial according to the latest patch.

DMG being lower increase and TOUGHNESS being increased far more than DMG is, because it's easier to increase DMG than it is to get TOUGHNESS as per what I remember.
