Did Blizzard stealth buff Delves or something?

As per the title.

Since this week level 11 delves feel noticeably harder and I find that really weird since I’ve been getting upgrades.

Did my 3 11s without issue, didn’t see a difference.

I did, however, on my first t11 it was ‘harder’ because I forgot to switch out my PvP gear into my usual PvE set so I was essentially doing it at 630+ . :sweat_smile:

Been wondering the same. More specifically, Underkeep’s last bosses have been the most frustrating for me.

I mean, it’s not like they’re not doable of course.
But I do notice a difference.

Delves only useful to gear up for 1e and 2e week of new season, after that you just go m+ and push keys, delves are just not rewarding currently.

For some players that might certainly be the case.
For a player like myself who does not raid (beyond LFR) or do any kind of Mythic content or PvP, they are definitely still useful. I will never ‘push keys’. :sweat_smile:

But that’s an entirely different discussion than the point of this thread, honestly.

I feel delves are very rewarding in S2, reached cap on runed crests on 8 chars before they lifted it, only by spamming elevens.

Other than that, I didn’t notice a difference in regards to difficulty. But I also avoid certain story variations, a few bosses are just a PITA to deal with.

I can certainly relate. I avoid certain Delves completely.

I’ve not enjoyed Blizzard’s change in Delve rotation this season; yes, there’s more variety but that also means I can do the delves I like less frequently (and no Blizz, it won’t get me to do the ones I hate - it’ll just get me to play less).

Completely missed the point of Tahs post …

I agree they do feel like they have buffed the HP of some mobs?

Some delves i saw they have an increase in adds(Perhaps was a bug ) But there were 12 non elite in 1 pack with 17-21 million health .

I don’t know if it’s the class in general but my 640 evoker has been struggling this entire week with his delves.

I somehow find more success with chronoward agu than I do with devastation, which is… odd.

Again, might be the class because how fragile it is… but yeah, t11 seem to be much harder this week.

The Hero Tracked Turbo-Drain 5000 trinket is a pretty strong trinket doing 409k/5s, often doing 3-5% of my overall DPS as it’s got no CD and can be applied to numerous targets at the same time via DoTs as well as refresh on current target.

I didn’t notice them being any more difficult or easier. But having Brann as tank instead of healer makes my job massively easier when going solo-dps compared to before.

I feel they buffed the damage on some mobs and maybe nerfed bioprint. This is my suspicion

assuming you do the 8 delves on t11 rank and spending coins of merit on sparks, 1 681 craft a week, where I have full say on the stat distribution and its just that many ilvls higher then the highest upgrade ilvl of hero track gear (delve cap)

the only items I need from the vault are tier and trinkets, everything else is crafted
pretty decent numbers I’d say

I thought it was kinda unrewarding too at the start but all the changes in season 2 are really compounding to some goofy numbers, its a big up from season 1

Had that thought, too. Turned out, I was logged in on an alt, and hadn’t given Brann a role :person_facepalming:
(which wouldn’t have made it possible to complete the thing, but would probably have kept me alive for the first few mobs)

So in answer to your question: No idea, doesn’t feel like it to me

I thought it was just me.
As you say they are still doable but I also felt them being quite harder than before.

I’ve had trouble with some of the Underpin-mobs being too close to other mobs (Or the other mobs not despawning/dying like they should), which made for some bigger pulls than usual, especially annoying with the “Explosive ally”-packs (Which are the worst of the Underpin-spawns on their own), but that’s the only thing that i noticed being different TBH.
