The people (myself included) posting was a response to people saying it takes +30 minutes to do a delve.
You can be a Karen about it all you want but no one (certainly not me) is calling anyone a scrub.
Blizz has posted they expect delves to be done in 15 minutes so people are either trying to do content not appropriate to their gear or skill.
These are bite size bits of gameplay and designed as such to gift people a hero piece of gear
There’s just a big difference in specs and probably specific delves. Or when someone is able to control a lot of mobs while a melee player maybe needs to pull 1 mob at a time.
Also someone mentions his brann lvl 59 is anihaliting everything. Well a lot of people do not have that kind of brann.

Sorry to hear that.
The truth is very simple. Players who say it’s impossible to do T8 delves under 10 minutes are bad at the game, which is fine. Most players are. Players who claim to do T8 delves in 2 minutes are lying and laughing at you for believing it.
Just don’t do them. I don’t.
I did for some gear but you don’t have to continuously.
you mean that one where method or echo players were farming +3 dvelves to get brann to 60 on week 1 ?
those people likely coudl manage that.
I haven’t tried since I got more geared so I don’t know how long it’ll take me, but I’ll tell you some things that might give you an idea why it might seem possible. You have 2-3 objectives. I’m not sure. One of them was collect and another was enemy kills. Then you have the final boss. The final boss is up from the start. You can skip through with a bonus action that has you jumping high and far.
At the final boss area there are quite a few parts of the collect objective. Therefore for it to actually be doable in 2 they’d have to fill the meter with enemies while collecting I think only half of the collect objective and also kill the boss very quickly. Depending on class MAYBE they’ll have the burst. Again, I’m not the one who said that but I can see a possibility. Likely it includes getting multiple enemies on the boss itself.
I’m out of touch with news related to high end players but it’s possible that’s the one.
That might just be Prot Warrior. I just did Spiral Weave in under 9 minutes since I made that post.
I checked damage on a triple pull 1.42 million with Brann doing 42%. It’s crazy he’s just executing big orb guys at ~40% HP.
I am pretty sure a lot of delves already costs only 5 minutes of walking from the start to the endboss area.
I totally admit being bad at the game though.
Yeah and doing the objectives adds to that time.
How does the boss take 5 minutes what? You pop all CDs and nuke it?
Shark story has no mob count in its objectives, you can essentially run from the start to the end doing nothing but breaking boxes, get to the boss room and meld / cheat death potion to reset aggro on whatever’s chasing you. Then pop all CDs and blow up boss. People were doing it as a brann xp / gold farm early on, same principle now applies for T8s once you get a bit of gear. It’s really fast.
None of the bosses have less than 57m hp.How can one just nuke him?Doesn’t he have any kind of mechanics?
What Ilvl did you do it on?Also Bran was dps or heal?And his level?
There are too many variables you see…
Like 610 idk, I started doing it for vault once they removed the ability to just kill zekvir over and over. Bran doesn’t matter he’s just a dead weight with this strat but he does slightly more damage as DPS.
57 mil is not a lot, you really can’t do north of 1 mil DPS for the first 30+ seconds on a 610 havoc DH? That’d already be half his hp. You have every cooldown since you literally just run to the boss.
If it’s taking you 5 minutes to chew through 57 mil hp idk what to say.
My reference of delves is often the one on the south of isle of dorn. The mines (i dont know the name). I did it yesterday on my frost DK (581 now), but every single mob is basically annihalating me. There are also objectives so you have to clear whole rooms. The last boss is so close that i died myself too from the dot when the boss was dead.
I have to stop for eating between almost every pull to get back to health.
I don’t know how this is doable in 5 minutes. I just do not get it. I am not complaining of course. It is a fun challenge. But it is also taking 25-30 minutes.
I can’t hardly do it faster on my 607 brewmaster. I survive longer/easier though. But stuff does not die fast
Some have timed events and such that makes them take longer, or the mobs are just unavoidable as they’re part of the objectives.
The two fast ones are the dread pit when you’re rescuing kobolds and tak rethan abyss when there’s sharks. Both of those have no real mob objectives and if you have tools to stealth / reset aggro you can basically rush to the boss, kill it, leave, and repeat.

I have to look into that. Thanks. I do not have a nelf though, so maybe i am not able. But we’ll see.
On priest I can do dread pit in about 5 minutes by mind soothing everything and walking around freeing kobolds til boss spawns, it’s not as fast as the DH route in tak rethan because priest is just a bit slow in general but it’s the fastest one I can do on the character.
DH in tak rethan though is just silly, it’s not representative of any other delve or spec. It’s just the fastest you can do and it’s fun to do because it’s that fast.

I love the tricks people come up with on specific classes
But it also does mean (unfortunately?) the average player just has to slug though them, and it takes easy 20 minutes.
It also shows here on the forums that people have wild different experiences. And probably everyone is right about their own.
Problem is that people see the vault as a goal, not a bonus. It’s not there to gear you up, it’s there to help you a bit when you’ve had some back luck with drops.
Dh only strength atm for a non inertia or momentum/ignition or whatever the new name is player is meta and eye beam chaos essense break combo .So yeah I can do a good initial number but then I am hitting like paper for the next 45 seconds.I told you,variables.I did it on 610 too.
The last boss in Tak rethan I did had like 3 big mechanics that killed you unless you dodged.
2 minutes does not look real at 610 sorry,I know you are good but I am not buying it.
