and it is so much fun!
I am very much a ‘trial and error’ player. I don’t like watching videos how to beat bosses or do mechanics, I find joy in figuring it out the hard way. Delves have finally scratched that itch and it’s nice no longer having to worry about dragging down others.
While I do understand that it might be a wee bit overturned in some aspects, I find the overall challenge really enjoyable.
Kinda in the same boat. Been learning WW monk through delves after playing as MW almost exclusively. Some of these bosses are ROUGH for melee but it’s been a ton of fun so far.
That’s an understatement when you’re in a group and the boss’s AoE 1-3 shots the entire group. It needs to be nerfed by, at least 30%, so healers can heal through it. The mob difficulty is fine, but the bosses need to be nerfed.
Agreed, me and my GF did a 9 last night. It was pretty difficult and had to pull slow and watch out for stuff. It was a lot of fun and the last boss wiped us once but we threw together a strat and took him down the 2nd time.
Its refreshing that WoW has potentially hard content for me to slog through.
I’ve done 2 t7 and 1 t8 np. But then failed 2 at boss. Like you got to waste all the time to then get these unlimited rng or ticking dmg from some bosses and I just don’t have enough to stay alive
Are you sure that was not AOE that was supposed to be avoided? The only boss that wiped me with AOE is when we were suppose to move away which in the case I think it should stay.
I’m sure lol I tried running far from the boss and still got hit with the damage. 1-2 shot then died, our healer couldn’t keep up with everyone dying so quickly.
just did like four delves…such a lot of fun.
Havent done any on any harder level yet. Dont really care to. I got all the gear I need from questing
Same with the trial and error type. It’s in part why dungeons became less fun trial and error is just met with toxicity. I was exhilirated when in these delves finally learning on my own again. It didn’t take long to figure out the damage people complained about before I went in on melee hits being so hard wasn’t the melee at all but the magic. Some of which is pretty brutal because you got 2 casters in the pull. Some CC can help if you got it, and need to interrupt those casts. I’ll likely respec some as the suggested spec for delves didn’t have a good CC on it. I’ll have to pick one up.
A lot of it seems to be that Brann and grandson are pretty useless at first.
Blizzard stealth buffed them. They’re doing like four times the damage they were doing yesterday.
Same, I can manage the mobs fine but the final bosses really get me on T7, trying to work through T8 today.
If you haven’t yet, try doing them as guardian Druid it was so easy on +8 I almost fell asleep.
Honestly, I’m gonna go try that right now. Feral is my jam but man is it a little squishy in the lower ilvls right now
“We want fun challenging content”
I am steam rolled too but with a different opinion.
Delves was sold for casual content, solo or group player but now it’s takes more than a m0 run to complete a +7 (30+ mins atm with both prot and holy paladin, Brann is useless).
And the rewards are at the same lvl than the ilvl required, so the net balance (unless you want something specific) is zero.
I am affraid that we would end doing it for the mount and not for the ilvl, because we will overgear it, which is lame.
I don’t know, someone though it was funny to add a mage tower again and this time to be farmed 4-8 times a week?
Honestly, I am not gonna touch a Delve anymore and maybe give it a try on a 600 ilvl requirement when I am 620 ilvl or more, mostly because I don’t have other 4 people to cheese them or I don’t have the time to sweat them.
its painful as a prot warrior. the delves were supposed to be content one can do solo and then t8s are anything but. why are web bolts hitting for 3 million a pop when our shield blocks are 20 sec cooldowns and they can cast it every 2 seconds?
since its just you me and the wall, i never thought about watching a video how-to on delves… >_>
Level 3 was difficult for me. Went to wowhead to seek answers on why I am so terrible and apparently there’s ilevel recommendations. My 523 was just enough, apparently. Yesterday I did a few Level 4s (560? 570? around there idk) and completed with no deaths but man, that was no bite sized adventure. The groups of casters would Chew. Me. Up! I remembered roots can be used for things other than keeping stuff from patting near my herb nodes lol
I feel like I’m remembering how to not coast by on tankiness since that isn’t going to be enough anymore. Its… kinda enjoyable… to have true solo— but attainable— challenges.
It’s awesome hearing someone else learning by wiping!
I completed an earth crawl mines bountiful t8 at 580 ilevel as blood DK. The mobs were more difficult than boss.
I obviously did the previous tiers of various delves and all the mobs were trucking still but the bosses were super easy.
If you aren’t using Brann as damage you’re doing it wrong, single pull mobs as much as you can with a ranged attack and let bran kill them since he does a ton of damage now. Kite and slow packs while Brann whittles them down.
