Learn about mob difficulty in World of Warcraft based on level differences. Fight mobs eight levels below yours for easy kills.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When considering which enemies (mobs) to attack in World of Warcraft, there is no benefit to engaging enemies that are a higher level than you.
  2. 2
    Even with just their base statistics, higher-level enemies can pose a significant challenge.
  3. 3
    An enemy that is eight levels below your character level should be easy to defeat quickly and with minimal effort.
  4. 4
    Conversely, an enemy that is just a couple of levels above your character level will require your maximum effort to survive.
  5. 5
    The more lower-level enemies you face simultaneously, the higher your likelihood of failure becomes.
  6. 6
    A level 60 character in World of Warcraft can easily defeat a group of 20 individual enemies that are each level 20, taking very little damage.
  7. 7
    However, that same level 60 character could die if facing only three or four enemies that are each level 50, if they are not careful.
Tips
  • Focus on enemies that are at least eight levels below your current character level for the easiest combat encounters.
  • Be cautious when engaging groups of enemies, even if they are lower level than you.
  • A significant level difference is key to easily defeating multiple enemies at once.
