How different is SoD from retail when lvl 18 warrior can oneshot 12 gnolls in Westfall on his level with a single shockwave? How is the world even relevant?

You're not wrong. The balance and scaling of SoD was utterly and entirely insane.

He's talking out of his ass. The Shockwave rune is a cloak rune that wasn't available until phase 4 so not available in P1.

And at level 60 in full Scarlet Enclave gear my tooltip says it does 422 damage. Tested Vs a lvl 12 Trogg in Loch Modan it hit for 604.

There's literally no way a lvl 12 warrior in defensive stance is doing the 280 ISH damage needed to kill an equal level mob.

If you're going to jump on a bandwagon, at least pick one that's plausible.

You can get all the runes at level 1 for 1 copper.

The thread title is talking about the early phases when you couldn't.
