New WoW Event ‘Dastardly Duos’ Goes Live — But Here’s Why You’re Suddenly Weaker

Stan's Avatar by Stan

The Dastardly Duos event has officially begun in North America, introducing a new pit fight against bosses and a race against the timer to earn the highest total score.

However, players queuing for the matches have found out dealing lower than expected DPS and struggling to stay alive as a tank.

Your item level is automatically scaled down to 619. This is intentional to make the competition for High Scores more balanced.

Dastardly Duos is a new event available on live servers where players fight in a pit against multiple bosses on a timer. The goal is to earn the highest Total Score by defeating all the bosses and claim a treasure chest at the end of each match.
