I can’t seem to find the right answer to this. I’m trying to figure out what classes to level, and I wanna do a bunch of delves. Can tanks and healers do delves or do you have to be DPS? Do you just get one companion, the Bran guy or can you choose other guys? Like, can I tank a delve with Bran healing me or will there be a DPS check I can’t pass as a tank?
Ok, thanks fam.
I did my 1st delve as part of the main quest thread, as a lvl 71 prot pally, and it was cake. Smash faced everything with Brann just DPSing, even though I had him on heals. I believe he is the only available delve companion right now.
Check behind everything for loot. You get companion level-ups in there.
Oh nice, ok. I have a prot warrior and a vengeance DH I was thinking about leveling so I think I’ll try doing that as a tank then. TY!
All the Delves that I’ve done have been as heals, with Brann as DPS. They were easy, however, haven’t done any of the higher level ones yet.
The highest level we can do is 3, until S1 begins.
Delves are basically solo content, you can do them with any spec you would do open world content with. Brann doesn’t really help until you level him a bunch, and then it depends on how lucky you get with his AI in any given run basically, so for the most part you can pretend he isn’t there (when he’s not pulling the entire room on you).
There will be more Delve companions in future TWW updates. I think Season 2 will be a new one, I don’t remember if it was mentioned whether the new ones replace Brann or if you are given the option to choose between them from that point on.
If they are “solo content” then why is it harder when you’re solo?
From Sloop:
Decided to do a little more Delve scaling testing… here are the amazing results (on a Tier 8):
Tested on various damage intake types, settled on “Web Bolt” just as a standard for consistency for these values.
1 Tank: 2.5M
1 Tank + 1 DPS: 1M
2 Tanks + 1 DPS: 1.5M
2 Tanks: 1.5M
1 Tank + 1 Healer: 1.3M
1 Healer: 2M
2 Healers: 1.3M
1 DPS + 1 Healer: 1.3M
1 DPS: 1.3M
2 DPS: 1M
1 Tank + 1 DPS + 1 Healer: 1.3M
But wait! There’s more! Let’s talk about health values, these seem to be independent of Role, tested 1-3 player, let’s refer to “Nerubian Threadmancer” just as a constant again (every mob’s HP scaled accordingly)
1 Player: 4.62M
2 Player: 3.47M
3 Player 4.31M
From SLoop’s data seems they are made for Duo lol
