You get ton of runed + gilded crests for doing trivial content on t11. That Alone is super worth it as its savings you frustration in raids and m+ .
Why would i Play my tank alts in season when i can solo chill in dvelves to 666 itlv ;p
658 is runed maximum. It’s the equivalent of S1’s 619. It’s 8/8 champ or 4/6 hero. Both of which come from delves.
It’s the point you’d need gilded crests to increase your ilvl further, which is convenient because that’s also what T11s reward.
Doing T11s at 640 now is the equivalent of doing them in season 1 at 600.
Again what normal minded player would run content just for crests? Serious question. I know I rolled alts when I hit 616. and 2bh going from 605 to 616 didn’t make me feel more powerful, going from 616 to 640 did tho… More so you can do open world content or level 1 delves and get 3 upgrades a week from the vault…
the upgrade system needs to go 2bh all it does is inflate the ilvl and ends with a squish 
Delves if they are going to be be a proper 3rd teir need real progression.
in season 1 it was optimum to run 8’s as 7 drop two upgrades less and the time to get the crests and stones vs the xtra time to run an 8 didn’t make sense…
Season 2 and its 7 and one upgrade is nothing…
Delves 1-6 shouldn’t exist as they bring nothing that openworld content doesn’t…
The delves need to be rewarding on all teirs… and I don’t think crests alone is that. M+ has 10 levels before no loot drops… Delves got 1… with the 10 rewarding Mythic raid vault.
I mean they even nerfed TW weekly from hero to champ…
They have a one foot in approach with delves.
It’s the recommended item lvl for T11, intended, I guess, to match the difficulty.
That said, certain players claiming ‘tanks and dps’ are clearing T11 with 610 gear without a shred of evidence is both highly contentious and nonsensical.
There are many utube vids showing delve clearances up to T11 by different tank/dps specs, however the gear levels are way higher than 610 and the focus was often on specific ‘easier’ delves.
There is one particular video showing a healer showing off and spanking T11 bosses using pre-nerf tank Brann, but ofc that was quickly spotted.

You mean that 603 BDK clearing a T11 in 12 minutes, don’t you? 
Croil here… just ran a 11 to see ring is inflating my ilvl and don’t even have my DK enchants on and 11 done with no deaths
60m HP on rare lol who has time for that
There’s also a degree of ambiguity here. Should recommended ilvl mean no tier, no gems or enchants, and no consumable buffs? Or should it mean full tier, max gems and enchants, and being buffed to the eyeballs? Or something in between?
mate the pugs i join can barely time +3 
+7 must be a hell on earth to pug
and gl getting into groups as dps if you dont outgear the instance by far
but sure flex more for internet points
Where is the flex lol… and pugs is why… M+ is meant to be “hard” so pugs would be out…
Anyone who understands how crafting works? Anyone who wants mythic raid appearances without doing m+ or raids.

After the recent “fixes” I can confirm that Tank Brann still can not tank a group of 3 mobs unless they do AOE for longer than 10 seconds. Also his self healing Out of Combat is still too slow. Current meta is to hope he dies during pull so he resses with full HP.
Why are we being forced to wait longer in between pulls if we can down mobs before Brann dies? Who does that benefit? This game is meant to be FUN.
Brann still needs to be able to take more hits. The recent changes aren’t good enough.
Brann tank also doesn’t regen while on any underwater delve.
Because tank brann is only supposed to be for healers.
Use healer brann as dps.
21 a week is not a lot when you can spam easy m+ keys and cap easily

again not everyone plays like you please understand this and look at the bigger picture at this point i think you are just trolling now.
were is this said ? or is it just something you made up as usual? going to place you on ignore because all you do is just troll.
What bigger picture? Clearing the highest level of delve content in gear that didn’t even have to come from the current patch is stupid.
When bliz were introducing tank brann they repeatedly stated it was to improve the quality of healer’s experience in delves. When they nerfed brann they explicitly noted healers experiences, and when they then buffed it again they did the same. This very thread even.
You’re wrong. If tanks were meant only be to used by healers then DPS would not be given the option to use Tank Brann at all.
Blizz stated:
“As always, our aim is to provide a more-balanced experience that allows for greater diversity in playstyles and choices. We will be closely following players’ Delve experiences in the coming days and will make offsetting balance changes if needed.”
Meaning he is meant to function as a tank to any class that choose him.
Lastly the original issue was that he was too strong when used along side healer classes.
They failed to fix that, they just made him weak enough to not work with any class.
What you are stating is simply your own opinion, not fact, and you should consider reading Blizz posts more carefully before commenting in future.

It is not. Blizzard has said they worked on a Tank Brann to give healers also a good experience in delves. It was explicitly for them.
Now i am very very very terrible to search for blizzard news/announcement, but otherwise i would have posted that here too. I have seen the quote also on the US forums already. But i can’t find it at the moment.
Edit;
Well i was able to find it again on the us forums.
BRANN BRONZEBEARD
- Brann now specializes in an additional role: Tank
- Developers’ notes: We’re aiming to make healing a more viable and engaging option for soloing Delves.
Not unless BDK is a healer these days
Clearing 8 dvelves including 3x21 gives you almost enough crests to upgrade 1 hero piece of gear to 665 per week. Dont forget you get few gilded crests from bounty reward too.
A lot of people will run them to get transmogs without hassle of doing overtuned m+ or raids.
The word is more… by that token why can tanks run DPS Brann… surely that is what healer Brann was meant for…
