Thanks for the new Delve. It’s a nightmare to traverse if you are a pet class, as those portals can dump you right in the middle of mobs - And given the idiotic way the game works, your pets won’t follow you if you’re already in combat! Meaning a frantic dismiss and then quick recall of pets while in the middle of doing sod-all as (In my case) my BM can’t so-much as wipe his posterior without his pets.
Added to the fact that NO tank pets ever actually tank any more (What IS the point?) so that you constantly have to use many misdirects back on to pets just for a normal fight, and now these shenanigans in Delves, really makes me wonder if anyone tests anything out for Pets these days?
That last one was a rhetorical question, as the answer is clearly “no”.
For hunter, do not use mend or exhiliration when engaging groups
Use healer Brann, he will drop 3 pots around you frequently.
Just step on one as needed, cause these will not draw agro at all
unlike mend that have high agro.
Healer Brann is tanky and might pull some on him sometimes,
just focus on those last.
Use mend / exhiliration if clutch heal needed but just feign death after.
This works very well most of the time.
For portals and edges where you jump down and so on while in combat,
I think that issue with all content so just have to adapt I guess.
Unless they solve it somehow.
For demo warlock kinda same, at least what I do. Not sure about other spec,
since not play them much on solo content.
ill post other useful macros if i get the chance .
might help the OP
as i said prior to the this wierd mage guy , ive cleared tier 11 and done the delve boss
BM Hunter is easy to use
use the macros , it should keep a track of your Pets HP using the focus channel and jsut spam the macros on cooldown
I’m yet to try delves this season, but last season BM hunter was waaaay easier than my mage. Pets were literally unkillable with Brann’s pots, no need to interrupt or do any mechanics, I could just stay at range, easily focus on grabbing pots, absolutely no stress. I really wish delves with a mage were as easy as BM hunter.
Well, You don’t have to rely on self heals, You can use healer Brann.
Think you are just playing it wrong. I do my delves as marksman with a pet and I havent any issues using a pet at tier 11. But hunter has many tools that make it easier, feign death, defensives, misdirect.
There’s a talent that makes your misdirect make them tanky too.
