I Don't Think I Have The AoE For This?

It still damages, but the damage was drastically reduced from S1. It now ticks for around 15K per hit, and that’s just not a lot. Almost always better to drop it and just smack things as normal.

Huh…Well, I dunno, cursed morning! Just seeing the swarm of bugs heading towards me is gonna be nightmare fuel for today. :stuck_out_tongue:

No way.

I will have to see the next time I do this story, I started skipping it since Blizzard stupidly replaced the webs with eggs(WHY?) and they respawn back because… reasons.

IMHO they respawn way too quick.

Yeah, it’s the most bizarre change? And I don’t think the instance was really designed for you to be without it?

Heck, that bug swarm would’ve been just fine if it actually still did damage! And, yeah, replacing the webs with the eggs was a bit silly to me, also.

That’s a major bummer.

I get it, I suppose. It was legitimately part of making Earth crawl a cakewalk those weeks. But they don’t want us having too easy of a time I suppose and Venge is already bonkers in delves.

I’m genuinely sad tho because I know some classes and Specs just have incredibly hard to complete them at higher tiers and specs like mine are part of the reason

They don’t want to nerf classes because of delves but they don’t seem to be buffing any classes to make up the difference for delves either

Invisible Nerubians laying their eggs behind your back. Allying with these monsters was a total mistake. Today some bleeding heart is, like, “They’re just misunderstood. They won’t eat you!” Tomorrow Stormwind looks like an Arachnophobe’s nightmare. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

To be fair, it does genuinely seem like The Weaver, General and Vizier (I didn’t bother memorizing their real names) just want Azj Kahet to return to it’s isolated state.

But, I don’t like or trust spider. They’re ninjas, they will get in and kill you before you knew they were there

Pretty much every class has at least one spec. that can cope easily with delves. Some have several, but if you’re a class that has only one, well, you do what you have to do.

I find them a cakewalk on my DH and Monk, but I don’t ever feel safe on my Hunter (highest ilvl toon) because I strictly play Marks there :rofl:

My main is also Hunter, and I play BM/Survival, but I delve as BM, because it’s just really easy, and I’m not ashamed!

I feel that, I was assuming BM would be the go to for hunters :rofl: maybe I will set up a delve build, just leave loot spec as Marks

I wonder if there’s any actual difference in the loot spec between BM and Marks. I sometimes use SV vs. BM loot spec if I’m hoping for a staff or polearm instead of gun or bow.

ETA: Just use a clefthoof pet, spec. Brann as healer and be consistent about running over Brann’s potions at regular intervals (they heal the pet as well as you) and win.

I use flamethrower as a DoT mechanic but it still does decent damage especially against non elite mobs

And respawning eggs as the trade off for having “easier” mechanic

It shouldn’t be, they both benefit 100% from the same loot because their RDPS.

I suppose that is one way of looking at it. The changes in Precious Ores I’m not too crazy about either, the eggs are gone from this story completely which I guess gave people a hard time. Now you just worry about the spreader and the cart.

Yeah, I am all but positive it doesn’t go down to the level of secondary stat allocations.

I stopped using Pacifist Rig for many reasons. And I now see many reasons more why to stay away from that thing. If I got a disconnect in the middle of that, oh yeah, I’m uninstalling.

All that aside, I did that story with my Lock and my Mage, T11 and T8 respectively, and experienced none of these issues. Other then recognizing how gimpy the flamethrower now is, it was all business as usual.

Titan… picturing the Implosion damage makes my eyes sparkle.

I guess the ACCESS MEMORY disconnect errors I’m now receiving are compensation for smooth Delve runs. Give and take.

It doesnt. “Secondary stat” priority is player made

BM doesn’t care nearly as much about Mastery as Marks tho. Stat spread for itemization was my thought behind maintaining Marks over BM for Loot Spec anyway. They are both RDPS but have different stat priority
