If maybe one of them… oh I don’t know… WENT IN A DELVE and played one, they’d see where the problem is. They’re not going to find the solution on a spreadsheet.

yeah it takes so long it’s not funny, at t8 have to do it very carefully and take time for cds, and if you need a break in the middle, good luck, i mean at least the delves should be preserved if you need a break and log off for a while, and if you find final boss impossible to kill, allow us to drop say from t9 to t8 instead of losing all the time spent there for nothing, this is bs

As prot, I’m at no risk of really dying unless I mess up bad, but the speed at which I clear since the Brann nerf is noticeably slower. Using major CDs twice for some trash elites doesn’t feel great.
That’s good and all, but… with low-level delves (such as Level 70, 71, etc), the problem was never with Brann’s damage or healing output, but how he tends to keel over if something looks at him the wrong way.
He is extremely squishy at low-levels, and he is extremely inconsistent about his usage of his skills.
I’ve taken a character, for example my Hunter, who Brann was extremely ineffective, into a Tier 3 delve.
The first delve, I was a bit undergeared at 340, I will admit. But I had done Tier 3s at 340 on an Outlaw Rogue and a Fury Warrior, and they were fine. But with this hunter?
Brann would die in 3 seconds flat if he got aggro, which he would constantly because hunter pets absolutely suck at AoE threat generation so Brann would get aggro instantly and then die instantly.
Even when my pets would keep threat, such as against Spinshroom, Brann would just stand in bad and die repeatedly. He’d get back up and then die on the first AoE leaving me to solo the entire Spinshroom fight just about.
Even when I geared my hunter up to 444 at Lv71 by killing some rares, Brann still couldn’t survive boss fights because again, standing in the bad and refusing to do anything to heal himself.
Also, the aforementioned inconsistency: sometimes he will chuck potions on cooldown every chance he gets, if you take 1 hp of damage, three potions go flying out. Other times, all he wants to do is spam his HoT orb. And never have I ever seen him heal himself, at all.
He constantly complaints about “Don’t stand there!” but yet stands in every single AoE ever and doesn’t even make an effort to move. Heck, my PETS will dodge attacks that Brann was happily soaking up and getting killed to, on every boss fight.
I’m sorry but the recent changes to Brann’s behavior made him entirely useless at low level. I don’t know what you guys did with his AI, but it needs reverted.

Honestly I thought a rogue snuck into my delve at first seeing the monkey
But yeah the monkey is always a day late dollar short to the fights

a 15 year old honorablewasp bot script could do better than Bran.
Actually, I think a pixel color Flax bot from runescape could do better than Bran.

Pretty sure this didn’t work, considering Bran (who for whatever reason stopped getting experience as soon as he hit 54,927 experience into 38) is about as useless now as a turd on a stick. He can’t even out dps my storm elemental on my shaman now (literally yesterday he was slapping). Now I throw flame shock on a mob and I eternally have aggro because while I’m having to dodge all the mechanics, get beat to death by mobs, make sure I get the interrupts, etc. Bran is just sitting over there giving himself a prostate examination.
Like seriously, what’s the point of even having bran at this point other than the constant stupid voice lines of “Those webs will summon Nerubians! Don’t stand in them!”
Ineptitude at its finest.

you are capped at 28 bountiful delves a week, that is why
Just completed my first T8 yesterday with WW monk on gs585. The game was telling me I am undergeared and should have gs600 for T8.
But doing the same as a caster class could be a whole different story.

Totally agree with you. That’s sad but I believe you are correct.
I did 8 at around 564 (this was when they unlocked, so balancing is different), I’m 594 now and might check to see how much different it is with better gear…
Did they make Brann’s hitbox gigantic again? He keeps getting in the friggin way of anything you need to interact with.
Brann is doing no damage. What the hell were you guys thinking

Bran might be “Fixed” but he is still useless now.
Tried a Tier 9 Delve and received 10.7 M damage in the second pull within 2.6s. Unavoidable. Double / Triple Web Bolts and more. I only pulled 3 enemies, which were a group the was not one you could split. I am ilvl 605.

Thankfully they got nerfed back down to not being nearly as hard at level 8.
I was able to clear a 9 and 10 today without much sweat on my Survival Hunter, but I gave up trying to do the underwater delve on 11. The random attacks from spears that ignore pet aggro would literally one shot me.
I’ll try to get my 11 clear on one of the easier delves.
I also went through and cleared all 4 tier 8’s on my Guardian druid with ease, but it’s just painfully slow, even with Brann set to DPS.
I can’t do 8’s on my Arms warrior, but I switched him to Protection and can solo easily.
How much longer until you fix delves for healers?
For Disc and Holy Priest, we have no kick.
Why is Zekvir spawning in 8s again, and why is his Angler’s Web bugged to snap to you after you run out of it and one shot you anyway?
Imagine what it is like to be a healer in Delves atm, we do even less damage than tanks AND we are not tanky despite being forced to face tank everything.

I just don’t do them on this character lol.
From someone that mained pally since vanilla i would say no to ret but yes to holy and prot. The amount of cooldowns those two specs got over the years is insane. I still tank but I completely given up on healing. Finding a pally tank these days is rare and a holy is even rarer. I have 10 times more fun tanking and healing with a monk.
