Level 11 > level 10 for basically all twinks, don't make my mistakes

[warcraftisgood]

Greetings.
It has recently come to my attention that for legit every single class aside from warrior which is alr known as 11, level 11 twinks at below 25% xp to level 12 are better than level 10 twinks due to the scaling.
I now have to regear my monk/mage/priest as I was originally under the impression that level 10s > level 11. This is not how it works in WWI. Don't make my mistakes, get those guys to 11. You get a huge amount of bonus hp, more stats, and mobs WILL NOT scale up.
People making newer twinks, get those guys to 11 you'll thank me later. Don't make my mistake.

How are MW monks better? The extra talent point buys Enveloping Mists, which is of course useless. You do get Zen Pilgrimage though, which is nice. So what's the benefit? Is it higher ilvl with the same mob scaling (below level 11.25)? Anyone tested this?

I will say for Druid there's a really strong case for level 13. You get Prowl and at 12 Guardian can get Feline Swiftness (Feral is the only spec who can get it at 10). Plus at 13 you hve Res.

I've been 5-manning TW dungeons with 4 11 warriors and 1 13 druid (to queue heals) lately. I also have 2 10 MW monks.

Why not just make a new one if you need to re-gear anyway?

See this was my thought process at first. However:

Basically, a level 10 and a level 11 (with below 25% xp to level 12) will see mobs in dungeon as the same level. you can try yourself in stockades, it's what I did. Dungeons start at level 10 so mob levels will never fall lower than level 10. However, they only start scaling up after you are 25% to next level. It's not about the talent the new level brings you it's purely stat wise. Basically you can be an OP level 10 stomping leveel 10 dungeons or you can be an OP level 11 stomping level 11 dungeons.

realstically i'm not going to be playing my 10s after I make an 11. Grinding new gear with a pretty much 90% BIS twink for that last 10% (each new item gives me + 1 intellect lmao) is way easier than on a fresh twink.

If you're under pressure with character slots (currently 65 per account, which is an issue for me), I completely understand.

If not, I would've kept the 10 and made a new toon because you never know about future changes, particularly with a new level squish coming in Midnight. The scaling can and will change and we may find the 10s are better than 11s in the future.
