It is mathematically possible, you just have to spend 1 hour letting the now nerfed Bran do 100k dps to clear the Delve for you, since he does not get hit for 10gorillion damage like players do.

Oh don’t get me wrong, if the scaling is borked then it’s borked and needs fixing
I’m just arguing against the idea that the higher tiers that award near-heroic raid level gear shouldn’t be in the same degree of difficulty at all
Still doesnt need to be sweatlord challenge mode.
Games are supposed to be fun. If you want a challenge, go do something else.

heck, the only guilds that actually matter in a progression sense, like echo and Liquid, blow through heroic in like an hour.

That is very much a skill issue
They are.
Every class has an interrupt. All of them. Every single one.
It is absolutely solo friendly. I solo’d three key’s worth of 8’s today and had a good time doing it. It’s a shame this content becomes obsolete to me Tuesday.
What’s the point of doing the content then? If you need more gear than the content drops, just don’t do the content. Which is what this will result in, so delves were just a wasted effort. The average player is going to have far exceed the gear that can drop from the delves in order to do the delves, so they just won’t do it. Do you go back and do warfronts from BFA? No? Why not? Oh, cause you massively overlevel the rewards? Well too bad cause that’s now your content, is essentially what you’re telling us.

The issue is that using difficulty/challenge when refering to the current delves is often… I guess not completely accurate? Those words make it sound as though there is something you can do to improve the situation, when often that is just not the case.
Depending on spec, delve, and role you can just be put in unwinnable situations with the only option being “let bran solo it”. I would not call that difficult or challenging, just annoying and tedious.

This is halfway right. Bountiful Delves at T8 drop 603 pieces. Which is the equivalent of a normal raid. But ilvl drops stop after t8 so theres no real reason to do anything passed 8
The great vault on the other hand does. But thats your weekly reward.
Its essentially a way to skip the mythic grind if people chose to do so to get raid ready
Disc Priest has no interrupt. Yes, I know you said “class”.

This. Am I definitely playing delves unoptimally by going in solo on aug evoker? most definitely. But that doesnt make it any less annoying when people act like “just use your cooldowns smartly” is going to make up for the fact some specs, like the one I personally enjoy playing (as I dont find dev or healer evoker fun) just struggle harder than a DK

and pretty sure even the priest specs that have one its a 45 second cooldown

That’s largely what I mean, though. I’m not saying delves can’t stand to be fixed, in fact I’d rather “increased difficulty” mean “more complicated mechanics” instead of “number bigger”, personally. I’m just against the idea that the higher tiers shouldn’t have difficulty to match their rewards

This is correct.
One interrupt will not save your life.
Brann needs more tbh. He shpuld be able to interrupt 3 or 4 in succession

I have 2 interrupts at my disposal. They are essentially pointless against casters in delves because they’re gonna do whatever the heck they want every few seconds. And, more often than not, there is more than one trying to kill me. Would be nice if my cooldowns were that short.

I did, yes.
If people choose to do delves as a healing spec solo and make things more difficult or impossible for themselves when they have shadow (admittedly not great in delves but viable) right there…well then.
That’s not a balance issue. That’s a player created issue.
Yeah, I read about the delve challenge and I was like nope, probably not doing this unless I feel like gearing an alt and I realllly don’t feel like gearing an alt just to do this.
Well they did say every spec could solo it…

yeah, almost like the content wasnt designed for you

Agreed, the unavoidable damage needs shifted into avoidable damage. And that does not mean “make it all a kick or CC”, because as already mentioned some specs do not really have Kicks or CC.
