Delve was fun the first few days, did alot with my friends on several characters. I have no idea why Blizz felt the need to absolutely destroy the mode, but now its insufferable. Every mob has 5 times the health they usually have. Even normal mobs absolutely destroy you if they land a single hit. Also the rewards were worth it.
The last boss now has almost 130 milion HP in a group of 2 players on 8? What even is this. He cant be slowed, stunned, knockbacked or CCd in any way and he chomps 60% of my health in every hit. Popping all CDs gets him to like 70% and then he just kills you in 5 seconds when you no longer have any CD left.
I am left with 12 keys I cant use, but worse of all is that the entire delve mode now feels like a damn chore. Exactly what we DONT WANT YET AGAIN. Another âfun detectedâ by Blizz, taking a system and game mode that has potential and bricking it completely for no reason whatsoever.
Revert these changes, or delves are dead. I am too old to waste my time playing game modes that are not fun. I want to play games to have fun, not to be frustrated.

Which delve was this?
I soloed 2 easily on my priest yesterday, heard about all the nightmares with parties and did 4 in a full party. Zero issues.
Itâs possible you chose a delve that doesnât suit your class / comp (I avoided the ones with caster end bosses on the priest) or arenât using Brann smartly.
If Iâm honest it sounds like youâre bandwaggoning. It offers great rewards, sure you canât headbutt the keyboard with the monitor off now and get 603âs. you need to apply yourself but its not that hard.
If it is indeed âthat hardâ for you, drop it down a level and get gear or improve.

You being intentionally obtuse or what? The point is what had the potential to be a fun game mode now yet again feels like a slog and a frustrating chore. The gear dont matter I can get gear elsewhere.

No, thats you. âDelves were fun when mobs had less health with a full party than solo!â Why u ruin that Blizz?

You took advantage of wrongly scaled content. Be lucky you have done t8 delves in the first couple of days. You have an overpowered vault waiting you did not deserve.

Did a level 10 Delve yesterday, managed to solo clear all of the delves, beside the Waterworks. Cleared everything as of today too. Stop complaining

Canât say I share this experience.
Iâve done delves solo as a balance druid. Iâve done them as a guardian druid. Iâve done them as retri & prot paladin.
Iâve done them as a holy priest, too.
I went with a party of 4 to several delves yesterday. Playing balance druid & retri paladin in them. The tank was a blood DK. We just rolled through them.
I did a few with me and a friend too, being 2 people, it went just fine with the exception of the spider, but that spider was removed from tier 8 delves.

ive just done 3 of 4 bountiful 8âs as a 586 elemental shaman solo.
are they hard? Yes
are they doable? Yes
do they take a long time? Yes
di i need to think about my pulls? DEFFINITELY
smaller pulls, cc and using spells you usually forget to use is the key.
some of the delves have âtricksâ to make them easier. i.e:
The totems you carry can be dropped leaving you free to move.
Bran pulls aggro if you just tag the mobs
Break the giant egg when you see it
The ones i hate are the underwater ones. 40 seconds of breath needs reviewing.

Because they where for solo players⊠Shouldnât be easier and less hp in groups lol⊠They need to X2 HP and damage per person to make it fair.
How is this nonsense? I used 4 keys, I have 12 left. Iâd post proof but as a basic user I cant post links.
you can always do +4 or +5 if +8 is to hard for you
were they fun ? for sure
but they were also loot pinatas and blzizard didnt want it.
should they be loot pinatas ? imo yes - but then i think that both raiding and m+ should be much easier overall too .
blizzard just brought them more in line with challenge vs reward ratio.

Eh with a group of 3 it was easily doable. Yes, the special mobs were damage-spunges (a lot of hp) but it was by no means super challenging today.
They are easier to solo as a tank now. My Brann is also at max current level and heâs an absolute abomination. I can even do 2 player with an undergeared pal.
I was in a 2 player 8 earlier and the big guy showed up and we both got Hero gear.

The difficulty feels just right after they tuned a lot of numbers. I finished a t9 solo and it was tough, but doable (not without dying a few times to stupid things lol)
I skipped the elite duo in the t9, but managed fine in t8 by pulling them seperately. They walk away from each other, just wait a bit.
I do think they need to change one of Brannâs abilities to a short cd interrupt on an extra action button (like the lynx special WQ). Some specs like disc, or casters with long silence cds have an unfair disadvantage there.
They also capped Brann exp to I think 4 bountiful delves per week? Not sure if itâs per character. This means people with a large warband can no longer power level Brann, which also levels the playing field even more.

Absolutely agree with this. I will not do any underwater delve because I refuse to be constantly distracted by my remaining breath. Is there a toy or elixir or something we can use and forget about this nuisance?
There are pots of waterbreathing (or you can whisper a warlock for a buff), but mechanic indeed is not fun, especially given the fact that it is so easy to ignore with a cheap item.
