So im a Feral druid.
I use all the consumables imaginable and i just keep getting oneshoted.
Now I know , nobody likes to lose/die etc.
And I hope im not simply frustration- posting.
But to me it feels bad not to fail mechanics and still get oneshoted.
(also Brann is annoying af)

I have done t11 as healer, but that ofc means i can heal myself. I just had to do it very careful and use my entire toolkit, like hexing one and using stuns, interrupts, knockbacks and so on. Slow and steady. Took me abt 40 mins and 1 stupid death to get it done.
Oh, how shameful it is that guardian and feral doesn’t share gear… Oh wait.
Literally you have a solution to your problem at your fingertips! Bear can also turn into a cat nowadays, and is less bloated than a cat’s absolutely horrid rotation.
It isn’t admitting defeat to change the spec to suit the encounter, ya know. 
Brann is absolute trash, as both roles, and Guardian more or less eliminates the need of him. Win-win!
Shouldn’t have to swap specs. I play a spec, not a class, especially not different roles within said class.
It’s really annoying that I effectively can’t play delves as Augmentation as this is my main spec. It means that I have to learn how to play devastation simply for this one thing, which is not fun.

I did it in fury though it was not easy, id assume easier as a plate wearer aswell.
That’s where you went wrong, friend. You play a class first and foremost. The specialization, aka spec, is what determines your role and how you perform it.
Unfortunately you’re not the only one with that flawed mindset.
Except you’re wrong. I don’t play a class, I play a spec.

Its mathematically impossible to balance out solo gameplay such that all specs have an equal opportunity.
Its the cost of Delves. Take it or leave it.
It’s certainly possible, they even said they have tuning knows that modify stuff based on the spec. They’ve just done a poor job doing so for some specs.

That would imply a special and specific delve for each of the 40 specs. Like mage tower. Its the only way.
So it means that if you want 10 or so delves per season, times 40 specs gives you 400 iterations of a delve. Its UNREASONABLE… 
Therefore, its impossible. We all need to play in the same delve.
And because its like that, its impossible to balance solo gameplay. The game simply cant do it by design. You would need to delete WoW and make WoW2 to make that happen.
Besides… you play Augmentation. The whole POINT of that spec is to buff other players. And you want to play SOLO with that spec ? Out of ALL the specs out there, yours is the most hypocritical of all to ask anything from solo gameplay.
I make Brann Buff okay
Brann is the attempt to “sort of” balance things out in solo play by giving you an NPC. Kind of like follower dungeons. But players >>> NPC. It wont work.
In addition Aug is a class designed to buff other players. Not NPCs.
So your stuck with devastation. And cant complain because you play the only DPS in the game that gets all its performance from other players. Its in the description of Aug why you cant do Solo play…
I’m not complaining because of aug, it’s just an example. I wouldn’t play on sin or sub when I main outlaw. I wouldn’t heal on pres because I play dev. I don’t play arms or prot when I play fury. I simply hate those specs.
But you agree with me that Aug is unique in this aspect ?
You cant say that you want to do Solo Content as Aug. You literally cant.
Its how Aug is built… its DEFINED as a “support” DPS. And when you are solo, there is nobody to support.
So you cant heal. You cant tank. You cant DPS… you cant do anything with out other players around. So you cant perform anywhere near as everyone else in Solo Play.
You know this. So… you cant complain about it…
For the sake of examples you’re right, so lets not focus on this particular example for delves.
So then you will agree that its impossible to balance out Solo Content for the same reasons Aug cant do Solo content.
You just happen to play a spec that is in the extreme end of the spectrum. And DK tanks are on the other-side of the spectrum, where they alone can heal, tank, AND dps.
So you got 3 options :
-
You either nerf/buff all the specs such that we all have the same performance in Solo play. Which implies : Aug is no more “support”. DK tank is now a DPS. And healers heal as much as a DPS. And DPS with no self-healing get their self healing. No more healer/tank/DPS. EVERYONE is a DPS now.
-
OR, you nerf Delves such that a rogue, or a devastation evoker dosent get one-shot. But then, that means that a DK tank can simply YOLO the whole content in 5 minutes.
-
OR, you buff Delves such that its challenging for a DK tank. But then everyone else gets one-shot.
Take your pick. You got only 3 options. All 3 are “bad”. Which proves that Solo Gameplay is impossible to balance out for all specs. Its futile to even ask such for such a thing.
Its how the game is designed. So you cant change Delves to suit your spec. You can ONLY change your spec to suit the delve. Its the only option you have left. Or don’t play delves at all if you start to get 1-shot.
There should be a reasonable amount of tuning per role and class at the bare minimum. Getting auto’d to death on any evoker spec on higher delve tiers is not a spec specific thing, probably not even an evoker specific thing.
If they don’t want to balance around solo play for every spec, then they shouldn’t say they can do it, because now it just feels bad.
You can approach that in TWO ways :
(A) Change the specs. However, any “balancing” they do to solo play will translate to M+ and Raid. It would be a DISASTER. NOT gonna happen.
And if you were to make an Aug that can perform in Solo Play, you would need to change it so much that it would literally turn into a Devastation Evoker.
I mention Aug but I could mention any other class by the way.
(B) Change Delves. Its not just that you get 1-shot. Its that you have no self-healing possibilities. So a delve for classes with no self-healing would require no auto attacks at all. Or very few.
But then you would need a challenge somewhere else. Its not fair for Rets for example that get the same mobs as you, but they get swirlies + white hits and you only get the swirlies. So you would need double the swirlies a ret would have.
So you would need 10 delves, each slightly different in 40 ways… or 400 iterations of each Delve, each with 4 possible scenarios, so 1600 total iterations. Each balanced and tuned for each spec, not just in numbers but in abilities…
This is completely unreasonable. Its not gonna happen.
CONCLUSION:
All in all… your stuck. Solo play was never possible to balance. And whoever told you lied to you. And if you believed them anyways, its on YOU for not thinking a little bit.
This “solo play” problem has been well known since TBC. And since TBC we had the same exact results every time it was even attempted.
So you knew it was coming. From far away. Now… deal with the consequences.
You can continue to be 1-shot as an Aug. Or, respec Devastation. And if you still cant clear 11s like that, then reroll DK tank. That is literally your only options. And Blizzard cant do anything about it.

No, it simply means dont make single player specific rewards if not every spec can get em.
Simple.
If that’s your flawed take, sure. Suffer well, I guess?
Imagine complaining you’re behind bars when you’ve the keys to the lock in your hands, lmfao.
