Why would anyone who is focused on gearing up bother working your a$$ off to do mythic+ dungeons when you can just roll through a delve?
Delve 8 is equivalent to a mythic +7 from the great vault.
I’ll be doing delves for a few more weeks, then when I have hero gear, I’ll start doing mythic + dungeons.
Mythic+ is not worth the effort v reward.
Is anyone else doing the same?

M+ has always been too sweaty for me.
Solo Delves rewards are just fine for their difficulty, if you’re 26 ilvl+ below the recommended for that tier.
ilvl 600 at T8 is overkill, it’s a good enough challenge/reward ratio at ilvl 565-571, for many specs.
IMHO, Delves should be solo only, DPS only, and better tuned for each spec.

its funny watching M+ players use the same talking point against delves that raiders use against M+

It really depends on your class, bran level, and personal ability. At this point I can waltz through a T8 delve as a prot warrior without much difficulty. Cloth classes seem to be struggling for dear life and clawing for each inch of progress.

Do Delves give gear? If so, why aren’t I getting any?

Use a restored coffer key in a bountiful delve. They are glowing orange on your map and change every day.
Edit: lol nvm. Got me.

Delves are perfectly fine, people are burning through their stockpiled Restored Coffer Keys now, the gearing from delves will slow down and other forms of content will outpace Delve gear as people get more comfortable doing heroic raid and high mythic keys.
The issues that exist right now is that they missed the mark on gear progression with all the systems in the game. Normal Dungeon gear is terrible, it needs to be upgradable. Heroic Dungeons serve no real purpose in gear progression. Mythic+ 4 - 6 are horribly tuned for the rewards they offer, not worth the effort and should be dropping better items.

Yes delves are easier
But they cap lower and most importantly you need to do a delve which is torture

Maybe priests, but I can say from personal experience that mages are great at delves, and I’ve heard that warlock is even easier than mage.
The main complaints I’ve heard were about warrior, evoker, rogue and priest, but with the exception of Evoker, I’ve also heard a lot of people who do play those classes say that they also found them fine.
I’m fairly sure that it’s mostly down to personal ability and willingness to play differently for different content.

Confirm.
I had to learn how to effectively cycle Pummel and Spell Reflect to survive encounters. Delves have actually made me better at the game.

The Spiral Weave and Fungal Folly are the easiest, just a heads up.
Only use the keys on a 7+ bountiful coffer, then you’ll get 600+ champion gear. Anything below that would be considered a waste.

Essentially yes. They made delves way too rewarding for the effort needed.
