I thought shit was supposed to stop scaling in wt2 after you hit level 50

The enemies and strongholds will keep scaling with you regardless if you switch to tier 3 or not. What WILL stop scaling at LV.50 in tier 2 are items that enemies drop. That's why it's recommended to finish the campaign and switch to tier 3 before you level too much beyond LV.50.

Anyway, my LV.48 Barb just met the Butcher for the first time. He showed up in one of those cellars and my Barb prevailed. Was down to 0 heals, so it was a close fight. Not much can challenge me anymore at tier 2, so I'm trying to finish the campaign ASAP.

Lol yeah some of these stronghold bosses are just bogus. You need a party to beat some of them. It's a joke. Like Rashka and the Kor Dragan dude, once they start summoning enemies it's game over solo. Not even a case of git good. Just retarded game design. I lowered the world tier and I still can't beat Rashka.

Lol man, just make a proper build and start using aspects. Apply Frozen + Vulnerability with Frost Nova then everything just melts from all the +% damage to vulnerable/chilled/crowd controlled.
Or put a Frost bolt on passive and everything now starts to apply chill, which also counts as crowd controlled.

I gotta look good for when the first season starts, okay? I wanna look my most frabjous.

On another note, I don't think I've seen anybody acknowledge this, but this game has the finest horse riding mechanics I've ever seen and it needs to be said. Take the recent example of Zelda TotK, my personal goty, has the worst horse riding I have ever witnessed. Riding a horse in TotK is a nightmare. Witcher 3's was better but still not very good. Elden Ring's horse riding was pretty decent, the best of that bunch. But D4 blows them all away in that regard. It feels so smooth and natural. This game deserves massive praise for it's horse riding mechanics. They are absolutely stellar. GOAT horse riding.

no one will see you, because everyone advanced to higher difficulties.
No one will see your fancy doodads because everyone's running around in mob explosions in isometric perspective. But at least you'll be able to know that you're better than the others whose outfits you also can't see, since you helped pay some random rich dickhead's dividends.

I'm not trolling. Riding horses in games is usually something I dread. It always feels sluggish.
You're not wrong about that part. But have you ever tried something like Mount & Blade?

Sacred has decent mounted combat.

You can also pick up items while mounted. That's pretty huge. In Totk you have to dismount evertime you walk to pick up an item. I can't remember if it was like that in Witcher 3 or Elden Ring but D4 has that shit locked down tight. You pick up things just as you would on foot.

I melt them solo on world tier 4 , you need better items and build. Same for nightmare dungeons no issues at all. You need uniques and build centered around them.

Yeah I realized that sticking around in the lower tiers is just making things more difficult in the long run. When I get off work tonight I'm beelining through the main quest and doing the capstone dungeon. I wish I had done that before level 50. Now I'm going to being facing stronger monsters with subpar gear.

The level scaling can be fixed if it becomes that big of an issue.
