Delves are now miserable garbage

Thanks for the hotfix

They’re trash now.

Delves were fun for 3 days only.

They weren’t even fun for 3 days. I hope they don’t plan on making them a permanent feature.

Already seen people comparing it to Torghast, which is pretty darn bleak but perfectly understandable.

They were never fun to begin with, i only did them for some mogs in the 1st week and now i only did it for the Vault and Champion/Hero gear.

yeah they are man, there some of the worst content blizzard has done yet, total bait and switch on what they were advertised as. They were never fun and now there even worse, they literally took the worst mode from the worst expansion ( torghast ) and put those garbage mechanics into a mode that literally was supposed to be nothing like any of that.

They were advertised as an Open World pillar of character progression doable by solo AND(!) group players. Which is exactly what they are: they are located in Open World; they reward you with Normal Raid level gear for completing the bountiful lvl 8 delves and Heroic Raid level gear from the Great Vault; and they can be soloed.
If you can’t clear a lvl 8 delve now, that’s okay, just get more gear and level up Brann, you have the whole season for that. Content that rewards something on par with Heroic Raid shouldn’t be failproof.

No. There are no reliance on the powers you pick up in delves, there are no endless grey corridors, there is no random generation.

Yes, there are problems like messed up scaling for groups and some bugs, but overall delves are great.

I have very terrible news for you

Ah yes let me “not be bad” and somehow not take 2 million damage per auto attack through my shield block and ignore pain, surely that will help!

How could you forget that one easy step?

Think I’ll stick with my T4’s until this palava blows over. I imagine there will be another couple hotfixes to delves next week. They got so embarrassed by the expose of the scaling recently that blizz simply knee-jerked to compensate.

Idk which mobs hit for 2 million but yes, skill issue. You have an aoe stun to interrupt entire packs. So do I and it was very useful on T9+

The last boss of Underkeep does 2 mill a tick of unavoidable damage. How do you go around that?

I’m doing 1.5mill dps as arcane and can’t get it down on time.

Isn’t that the interruptible aoe that does that? I haven’t done that version on T9+. I had Abominations today in Underkeep which is a joke. I remember you basically have to interrupt it though even on low tiers, which makes it really hard for locks that only have Felhunter and so on.

Cannot be interrupted and los’d

I’m finding it funny to see all the group delvers come the realization that they were exploiting, and now have to actually play them as intended. The same slog soloists go through.

I’m not sure sorry, on beta he had something like that but I remember it being an interruptible volley. Its the researcher guy right?
Seems different people or at least different servers have different daily delves, I haven’t seen him in a while.

Yeah its awful now, I did not expect to get rolled on a T8 randomly umm

It’s the 3 dudes roaming around the delve untargetable stunning until you get the pheromone to kill them.

Oh the aboms? Thats the easiest one by far lmao. Just set Brann to healer and heal after the tick. Don’t take aggro at all. Abominations can kill other abominations if they run into one that is in combat with you. ggez it was my first tier 11 as well.

edit: also I think you can outrun that attack too, if you are a mage you might be able to blink far enough away to avoid it or something.
