The delves are so overturned for solo-er.
In T10 delves I typically got killed by 3 hits, well, then I’ll burst my damage at distance and try to kite them.
Everything is fine until I meet a pack of mobs of 2 human looking + 1 Anub’arak looking things. One of them perform a cast 5 seconds after the pull. I was at ~40 yard away from them and got hit 24 million. I only have more than 4 million and I even owe them 20m. That cast is not disruptive so I cannot solar beam it.
Dude Blizzard, if you want to tune them with impossible numbers it probably OK. If you want to focus on mechanism it’s fine. If you do both you must be joking.
Also different class and specs have their own pros and cons on handling mechanism. Introduce some consumables to balance this situation. Even make them inside current delves run only.

I think doing a 10 solo first week is aiming high. I imagine you should be 600+ at least to do them comfortably?
I hope they don’t nerf them. Keep the challenge. Highest rewards drop at an 8.

They’re pretty terrible as a solo experience.

What difference would even an extra million hp make if you are getting hit for 2 million auto attacks and 20 million casts?

I imagine all sorts of things play into it. Bran being higher lvl, you being higher ilvl. I mean, I am not sure if what the OP was talking about can be stunned or something else as I haven’t experienced something that hits that high yet. Though I have only gone up to 8 on bountiful.
There have been some things that have nuked me but I have been able to puzzle them out and win. I did my first bountiful 8 with my hubby tank but I did the regular ones up to 7 solo on my holy priest and yea, it was rough. But I enjoyed it.
Maybe the thing OP is talking about needs looking at but also maybe solo-ing a 10 week one is aiming high.

Thinking you can solo tier 10 in week 1 is completely ridiculous. That would be proof they are under tuned.
If you can’t solo tier 10, 5 months from now you’d have more credibility.
I hope you are trolling.

only in tier 8 myself atm, but i feel like they are fine mostly just gear issues example im in tier 8 it’s recommended at 600 ilevel but i’m only 580. So challenge is expected. Although some bosses might be tuned weird I hear you there. I’m scratching my head on how your suppose to melee Zek’vir. The spider egg has too much health to burst down specially considering the whole time your trying to kill it you got big AoE’s going right ontop of it that would kill you if your in it. Ranged is almost the only option here. Specially if that thing happens to pop open cause if the spider happens to touch you, your gonna get stunned and the bad is gonna pop under you and your not going to have time to move. But might still be a gear issue idk. But after my attempt it feels not very possible for melee.

Big thing is to figure out which packs you can take, and which mobs are going to demand your attention in those packs. Also using M+ setups are going to help a lot till you get to the final boss and can swap to single target. You gotta use your CC and defensives, which means you may have to give up some damage to get the CC or defensives you need.
Or just get a group of friends together. They dont scale up from what I’ve seen and even one extra person is gonna make it a lot easier.
you can’t be focused on mechanics and positioning if Brann is going to be pulling the whole room mid-pull when set to a healing role.
The monkey got tuned so he doesn’t pull aggro but the dino absolutely runs into new packs and Brann hops into eggs and webs, targets AOE over uninvolved groups, and runs off for treasure pulling whole schools of sharks.
It’s broken- pick a lane here. Either it’s mechanics and planning or zerg, not both.
I agree and would like to tackle these as something tactical to plan. Except you can’t when the uncontrollable NPC undermines your every step.

It’s not trolling.
Soloing tier 10 as balance druid at 590 is already extremely challenging. Some spider cast you dealing 2million damage to me so I have to swap into bear form right before it hits me.
Also I need to take care to my threat so I can let Brann tank for me.
I have to plan my bursts into 2 groups so I can guarantee I have enough damage on every pack.
I also kite when mobs are really looking at me.
With decent gears you might don’t need to do as much, but even you have full set of 636 iLvl you try to stand still 1 on 1 mob, you might only survive 3 additional seconds from the auto attacks.

T 10 requires like full heroic raid gear lolz, In any case t 9 to 12 are just prestige so you can take your time

It should be.
This doesn’t mean the thing is over tuned.
In fact, if you can solo 10’s at 590 it means the delve is under tuned. Nobody should be able to solo the hardest content in week 1.

I just wish that these had been designed as purely Solo content. It’s nice to have Follower Dungeons and Story Raids. However, the game needs challenging solo content on par with the gearing difficulty for group content.
Right now, these are just another tier of group content to hope for gear and get yelled at by strangers. And at that, they’re not as interesting as Dungeons or Raids.

Tells me everything when complaints about Delve solo is met with, “Just form a group.” lmao.

Everything above 8 is literally a challenge mode.
Get geared or get better. This is supposed to last us a whole patch.

Did you look at the recommended Ilevel, tier 8 is 600. so 10 is probably closer to 616 - 620 range. 590 is really far behind. Gear up some and try again.

I agree here. Brann is basically just like every vanilla pug hunter; he pulls the whole room unless you pull VERY far away from packs. So they at least got his RP right.

The OP is ilvl 599. Not sure getting another 10-20 Ilvl is going to matter against 24 million damage.
