Delves are now miserable garbage

Skill issue.

Use CC and kicks. Pull carefully. Use defensives on big hits. Use your whole kit.

Delves at tier 8 reward Normal/Heroic raid level gear, and they are repeatable content. They are not supposed to be faceroll.

Hope Blizzard doesn’t nerf the difficulty (and rewards) cause of people who punch above their weight and then cry when they get hurt.

I do think group scaling is off though. Damage should not scale linearly on unavoidable AOE. They should rein that in.

Its not felt. Ill tell you that.

Just did an 8 this morning and that stupid scarab swarm actually does MORE damage now.

The dps didnt stand a chance against 2 million damage a tick.

Go away. What happens after you’ve used up all things? DEATH! DEATH DEATH!

FUN AND U HAVE TO RESTART!

is that spell damage ? It may not be - those aren’t casters are they?

Why are you comparing someone’s worth to their skill in a video game? That’s really weird.

Or their skill in anything for that matter. People have intrinsic worth regardless of their skill or lack thereof in anything. People have intrinsic worth regardless of anything.

Kinda strange you think i thought that my dude. Kinda weird you think it’s an ego issue. I’m mediocre at best lol.

Wait for your cooldowns before pulling a difficult pack?

I wonder how many people actually use their CC. If I’m up against 2 casters, I polymorph one of them and nuke the other. Kite any melee people by alternating Blast Wave, Cone of Cold, Frost Nova. I use Alter Time to restore big hit HPs, and make sure to pick up Brann’s healing because as a mage I have no healing ability so I rely on him for sustain.

There are these two new mini bosses Tala and Velo and I don’t know what the heck Blizzard is thinking. Had a group the other day and we couldn’t do a thing to them, nuked us every time we attempted.

Now they show up in my solo run and I had to be extra careful to not pull to progress the delve.

Does Blizzard like torture?

It looks like they made minibosses that appear on tier 9+ delves start appearing on 8s. Unsure why, but I just avoid them for now.

Its a boss casted aoe that is uninterruptable.

Best guess is their “nerf” wasnt enough to actually feel. And caused some sort of numbers error for the spells to do even more damage

I googled it and sometimes that is shadow damage, sometimes nature and I don’t even know which delve you are referring to.

Ok if you are talking stinging swarm it is nature damage. Guess reading this it wasn’t only magic damage though.

thread has taught me delves are awful, dumb, fun and cool
:dracthyr_comfy_sip:

Right? It’s insane how many people clearly haven’t touched 8s, let alone 7s and are right here commenting about something they have no idea about and offering their opinion on something they haven’t even experienced. What the heck is this phenomenon where people HAVE to share their every thought on things that they aren’t even affected by?

I was enjoying Delves at the start. I was surprised. They were mostly simple, easy to navigate, fun to explore. Brann was useful, gained xp no matter what you ran, you wanted to go explore and pick up the little shinies, and cute little thread puzzles.

And now we’re here.

They are harder, almost at times unfair when you just want to have fun, Brann only gains exp in Bountiful, he’s capped at level 38, you only get him for one season then you have to start over again with a level one.

Why can’t we just have something fun? If I wanted annoying I would go do mythics ffs.

It is relative - I am sure if I went into the T2 I was struggling with a day or so I could tell if easier or harder. I probably will have to actually do that because I am not sure there is another nerubian except that skittering breach.

Its Blizzard. They hate fun.

Delves was exciting to hear at first, pre s1 it was fun. Now I hate it.

Now we got these damn twin minibosses that nuke you 100%. Blizzard is tone deaf on what is fun.

You have a bunch of people claiming they want challenge.

your ilvl is well below the recommended ilvl for t8.

I timed fade around it so it hit brann instead of me. Wax ball goes to who has threat.

“skill issue… Use cc n kicks” on non-cc’able and non-kickable mechanics that are 1shotting everyone be it in solo or group versions. This is WITH the recommended ilvl or higher than it. Bad take is bad.

Actually there were quite a few posts demanding that grouped delves be made as difficult as solo delves. Not sure if they went overboard or not. If you’re to believe the hyperbole of posters in this thread it seems they may have.
