It seems to me the zone cap level (outside of AoM) is a bit out of sync with character progression since AoM.
I was used to see mobs outleveling me by about 3 levels at least. No the case since AoM.
The last char I’m playing just entered Ultimate after clearing Elite without even all the side quests. I’m at 82, mobs outside Devil’s crossing are 81-82. The hidden path was about +3.
The zone level were certainly adjusted, but I still feel they don’t really keep up with progression, except when you’re finishing AoM.
IIRC the regular level offset is -1 to +2 for trash mobs. Heroes and bosses have a higher offset. In challenge areas like the Hidden Path this offset is ramped up.
The base game, yes. With AoM tho, and trying to get as much done as reasonable on Norm/Vet, 69 is about right. I believe my first full clear put me closer to 75 actually.
Early elite does have a level cap that could be raised a bit, I too often exit veteran close to 70 while the cap in elite is at best 65 to start with.
Unrelated, I guess, but twinking new characters with a lokarr set will let you outlevel the cap by as early as late act 1. Don’t even need to use an xp potion for it
Fast exping ur char and reaching a high lvl early in game doesnt mean the mosnters are underleveled, just that their level doesnt scale with char level.
There are just very few monsters everywhere…there should be at leaste 3-4 times more at least on ulti diff…
