I am returning player, I played heavily in legion but attempted to play in dragonflight as a solo player but could not get pulled in. With TWW having many new features I enjoyed such as the campaign, warbands, and delves, I was surprised at how much I was enjoying delves. I never once attempted anything above T3 in a group to which I stuggled but it was achievable. Now as I was Ilvl 585 when I started T8 I had to be very careful about how I pulled mobs usually trying to go one at a time. I noticed some bosses had unavoidable attacks, or attacks that needed frequent interuptions that made things taxing. Again, as a solo player these were doable and I enjoyed the challenge.
Now lets jump to where we are after the hot fix. I am at 595 ilvl and have not been able to complete a T8 delve. Even worse, I jumped into a T5 with a friend to help get them through to which I struggled dying multiple times from 2 mobs! This is iritating and a move in the wrong direction. Where was your QA blizzard! The patch notes led me to believe we would be doing delves longer and getting hit less hard, which is not the case at all. I am getting hit harder with better gear and not even being able to complete. Please revert this change until you have a viable solution that has been tested thoroughly.
Delves on my Evoker were a horrible experience. No matter the combos/specs/Brann settings. I switched to my Monk, went in Brewmaster, was so much easier. But I don’t want to main a Monk, I want to main an Evoker. But Blizz says no Delves for me, if that’s my choice. Amazing design!
That is the issue I have seen as well. Classes are not balanced for delves. It should not be required to be a small handful of classes/specs to do delves. Delves need to be tuned to the lowest performing job more or less to ensure everything has access. Sure this will make it cake for others but that is unfortunately what is needed as someone who only wants to play an evoker can do so enjoyably.
Tried a T8 bountiful with 595+ geared people. 5 man, 3 man and duo. Not doable anymore.
If a 5 man group wipes, you gotta restart, fricking insane cause stuff hits for 20 million dmg.
3 man group was as hard as 5 man. Scaling???
Duo was not enough DMG so it took awhile and got hit with volley 3-4 times within few seconds and that hit for 1.5m - 2.5m DMG per second PLUS a fricking poision dot that hits for 800k-1.5m dmg per tick… With a 8 sec dispell CD it’s fricking insane. It’s perma death.
Delves was really nice untill this morning when I was hyped to do some bountiful with some nice random people who also were hyped.
This should have already been fixed by now… Rollback this stupid hotfix….

Skittering Breach on Fury Warrio, 591 (had to try out the tasty new sword I got on the previous one! 22 mins and 2 deaths, I was very cautious and underexperienced on fury.
Delves are just another feature for the top players to gear up in now. I get adding challenging content but damn it drops off a cliff for solo people just looking for a fun side activity. It is a shame I can’t put these coffer keys on the auction house as they are worthless to me now.
I don’t even care about the ilevel or great vault. Just wanted the appearances.
Oh no! People have their accounts stuck to party mode only? That’s awful, that’s horrible for you.
Lol at the rest. It’s amazing watching goalposts zip around the place.
Clear on ele sham

Tanks are easy mode, melee sux! Clear on Fury Warrior

Sounds like you hate your class; perhaps you should try another one.
Solo boomkin feels pretty rough too. More than one kick per minute? Guess it’s bear form, frenzied regen. Force of nature buys enough time for 6 regrowths, maybe 50% hp. One auto and back down to 20% hp.
…unless you do it between the hours of 9-5 AM between 9/10-9/12. Heaven forbid they announce that they’re going to fix it so everyone is on level playing field for exhausting their initial stockpile of keys.
