Delves - Need Increased Difficulty In Groups

Yeah. But much of the playerbase this week is using delves for gearing up for other content: get T8 open, then run t8 bountifuls every day to get the best delve drop gear (603). And the most efficient tactic for that is grouping at the moment. Delves are being used right now for gearing by a lot of people who won’t be touching delves again in a week, so that’s why there are a ton of groups now.

I had no idea you can group for them. Whoa.

I think a more correct move would be to make the solo delves a bit easier.

No change is needed content should be a little easier in a group.

my hot take.

I was just hoping for fun/hard solo (or duo, whatever) content in a fair environment. Guess that was too much.

The whole tank/healer/3dps has been done to death. This was supposed to be something different.

You can but delves give better gear, especially rn

the disparity in challenge between a delve solo and a group is night and day. Tier 8 solo was hard but I did it, it was fun and took me a while, but in a group, still a challenge but nowhere near as scary as doing solo.

Granted I do believe coordination and socialization should be rewarded, but its too rewarding.

Why would i want a company to stop doing the thing i enjoy which is giving me a challenge for content. If everyone can do it, its nothing special. You can literally choose your difficulty which reflects your rewards. I’m sure someone spending more time and effort can do a tier 10 run and im ok with that good for him. If everyone can just do it, then wtf is the point?

Can you que for delves in group finder? Or do you need to find a group yourself?

You find a group yourself, probably have to use custom.

Not really. It’s much more likely that solo is overtuned, especially in incoming damage.

There is a tab now for delve group content. Not que’able.

And even if they were solo only, they still wouldn’t be. Blizzard can’t tune them to 36 different specs, lol. There will always be specs who whine and specs who have it easier. I solo’d up to 11 with Priest, Mage, Evoker, and Hunter on beta. They’re quite soloable; you don’t have to have a group. My buddy did it to 10 on rogue, prior to the dmg buffs, which is basically in one of the crappiest states of any class at the moment. They’re soloable.

This was never about them being doable. We know you can do tier 11’s on beta solo. This is about fairness in an environment that was touted as a mainly solo activity.

This also wasn’t me asking for them to be made easier. It is a request for balance.

I can tell you right now I am fully incapable of soloing them. That’s a problem

Agreed, if I wanted to run 5 mans, I’d be running M+ not delves.

I found Tier 8 Bountiful Delves last night rough as an item level 584 Guardian Druid, but this morning at roughly 590 it was easier. The recommended item level is 600 after all, and I should be breezing past them after I get a few more upgrades (notably in the back or wrists slots). I don’t know how they are in groups except for the anecdotes here on the forums, so I can’t speak to that.

If you have a full group you could do normal/heroic dungeons, maybe push some M0 tho i hear its harsh atm until players get better gear.

You shouldn’t have to outgear the content before you can do it. Mythic dungeons are just overtuned

Iʻm just guessing that the content is supposed to still be relevant a year and a half from now with many players in 600+ gear.
Iʻm thinking that its gonna be harsh at first until you are geared well. Eventually players will probably overgear some things and they become relatively easier later in the expansion.
