They had to do something. It was a high level loot faucet that was destroying the integrity of the game.
Sure, they don’t care, that’s why they’re listening to feedback and making adjustments. What? You want them to stay up till 5a, dazed, confused, and red-eyed trying to come up with a solution? No one should take people like you seriously.
T8s are as easy or easier now than they were yesterday - as far as solo is concerned anyway.
Just gonna keep quietly posting these in such threads, adding as I continue running them. All of these are post hotfix.

Go do it in a group and report your findings
And don’t give us “it was meant to be solo content”
If it was, then there would be no group option like mage tower
High Mythic+ trash will one shot you too, so what? I got a hero track piece from a delve. Getting one shotted is working as intended.
Are we at the point of calling champion gear and limited Hero gear high level loot? Is this the new angle we’re taking to denigrate more casual players? Before I thought it was Mythic gear that’s now much harder to attain from M+ even, since you have to be doing the old +20s to get those in vault. Does it even give crests to upgrade champion or heroic gear?
Watch out guys, the people who play solo content may get to mid-level mythic ilvls by the end of the season.
hoping they fix it before the weekend
With the current scaling, we’d need to be level 90 with 750+ gear to survive. Maybe. The mobs are hitting for 20 million damage.
yes! This is the solution!
Why don’t you prove you did a runs on every single class in every single delve and at the exact same tier level and THEN come back and report your findings.
I bet that you won’t be able to solo some of them, regardless of what class you’ve had success in (so far).
Ok, Ok, I’ll get right on it. Geeezzzzz !!!
Let me guess, you’re trying to do Tier 8 delves, aka, the hardest difficulty delves currently available (at least with respect to rewards, you don’t get better rewards as you progress higher in tier, that’s for prestige only), that are designed for ilvl 603+ and now after the bug fix you’re annoyed that you can’t clear the hardest delve content on week 1 of the season.
Am I close?
Delves, via no keys, only drop 554 gear, that should be what it’s tuned around IMO, unless they want to actually decide to let Delves drop gear without the VERY limited keys they have. You only get like 4 per week.
Okay? Again, doesn’t change the fact that Tier 8 is designed for ilvl 603+
If you’re going in there with an ilvl lower than that, you’re going to have a bad time.
For real, they should’ve not front loaded keys by having two dead weeks. Nerfing it now is just postponing some people’s ability to get champion and limited hero gear by maybe a week while waiting for m+.
Not really, no. Especially with all the variety in classes/specs, or even group comps vs solo. It’s just not, and it shouldn’t be because delves only reward 554 gear currently. Also, at 603+ our health pools are not 30million+ to deal with the regular white hits from mobs
8t Delv drops 603+ gear. Why should I even go there if I already have a higher gear? Why then do they position it as an opportunity to dress solo if you need to come there already dressed?
That’s literally what it was marketed as you ABSOLUTE genius.
Bountiful Delves reward higher ilvl gear, as does the Great Vault.
That’s how you’re supposed to progress through Delve content. You do Tier 3 delves + world content to get your ilvl up to the point where you’re not getting higher ilvl rewards from world quests etc. You buy a few vendor pieces, maybe get a crafted item or two, upgrade those, then you’re doing Delves to unlock higher ilvl Great Vault rewards.
The Great Vault awards ilvl 616 gear (not upgraded) if you can reliably clear T8 Delves. If you don’t need that, then the only reason to do Delves is for cosmetics and achievements. That’s it. If you aren’t interested in those, then don’t do Delves and instead do other content that is more rewarding.
Bountiful rewards 603 gear. I’m in almost full 600 gear. Explain why mob 1shot with uninteruptable and un-cc’able mechanics that you are unable to LoS or Dodge.
When Mythic+ starts, feel like a lot of people will forget about delves, lol. It’s only an issue now because mythic raid/mythic+ isn’t open.
And once people get more gear they will be stomping +8s.
My favorite part has been the fun thing they’re doing where the casts ignore Vanish too.
Oh, you wanted to use class utility to give your kick 3 more seconds to come off CD? How about you take 60% of your HP in damage for thinking you could.
