I’m perplexed to learn this is content people pug. I do think it’s better in groups so I’m here for it. I’m just surprised it’s a thing… as a pug group?
Probably because it’s not something that’s often seen as needed for delves. You can progress delves completely solo with any spec. Vast majority of the community will avoid pugging them.
I suggest finding a casual guild. Might avoid the kind of situations you’re struggling with. You also don’t need to worry about filling roles. The idea of a tank or healer leaving shouldn’t worry you. They can be done in any roll combination you want. Bran’s spec can also be changed during the delve if you need that healing from him.

I mean the guy struggles to keep agroo and his dmg isnt that great.
That was my best guess but still makes the group fall apart.
That was my first thought. Although I only do them on my main which is a ret pally and doesn’t need a group for that content.
I would guess it’s because they don’t know it invalidates the completion run for people who don’t participate in all stages.
I don’t need him for either of those things lol
I was going to ask the same. Why take the chance of not even completing the Delve with a group of 5 compared to near 100% chance to solo it as DPS (sucks for healers with no DPS off-spec tho)?
My group experiences were always hit or miss with a lot of abandoned efforts (couldn’t get past end-boss). Maybe the scaling as party members are added has been corrected but when I tried groups it got much, much harder for each person added (way more than +100% per player added).
Just swap to your dps spec lol
I do them with my kids or my wife, but is usually just two of us. Had no idea you could 5 man them.
Dies it get harder reward better stuff if you have more people along?
Harder? Yes. More damage and health pools. Better rewards? Nope.
Ok cool. Thank you. Thought for a second I was doing them wrong.
Nope, you’re good! I love running them with just one or two friends. This was a fantastic set up, imo, to make them scale that way.

What if i wanna play healer? so much for a feature meant for solo content aint it?
Healers have literally always switched to dps specs for solo content. Its doable on healer specs but the intention has always been that there’s a dps spec available to do it more efficiently. I could also say that I want to do it naked with no gear on a dps spec, which is a choice, but blizzard doesn’t need to design around every inefficient player choice.

In addition to my warlock, I also solo delves with a Holy priest. I have fun with it.
Ill be looking for a group my first time in Zekvirs lair.
That was the only one I had help with as I was about 570ish when I could actually get in there and it was the only achievement I needed for the Glory of the Delver meta achievement.
I thought that was the easy way out, so I tried it, but no, way harder in a group.
(Or people I grouped with were extremely bad.)
Not trying to sit around waiting for people. Be ready before you join or get left behind. Idc if you have to take a leak or get a drink etc
