This is where I want to see it go too. Keep T1-11 reward structure as is, add something that feels more “D+” that only works solo/duo/trio or whatever to keep a clear barrier between dungeons and delves, make all rewards for that fully cosmetic. Honestly theres a lot to consider with stuff like that to make sure its fully accessible to all classes and specs.
T11s from S1 being just fat stat checks is a lame way to make things “difficult”. Especially when it was just “lets have all ranged DPS who arent warlocks or hunters facetank all the mobs” as a design philosophy. No matter your skill level that isn’t fun or engaging content at all, nor does it really reward skill all that much.
Having recently hit tier 9 delves, they are turning out to be more lucrative than LFR. So now I focus on coffer key fragments and bountiful delves. On a per-week basis, the delves are much better. My one wish is that unusable gear was warbound.
I don’t think it’s that delve loot is bad. It’s that our starting point is too good.
Don’t wanna break up 4pc tier. Maybe you can use a catalyst on a non-hero piece, but it’s a risk.
Don’t wanna replace DISC belt
Don’t wanna replace Uber cloak
Gonna get a 720 weapon from crafting
Trinkets you can get from the vendor. I’m not sure if there are any better ones that drop, but even if there are, it’d be a small upgrade, I’m sure, and a low chance to get it in the first place.
That only leaves a few slots that are even viable for non-hero-track upgrades.
This is why they’ll never do flickergates again. lol
You mean the exact same trinket I already have from last week? Or a worse one? The Vault has not been kind to me. And neither have my bounty maps. I either get the exact same piece I already have or trinkets. RNG is much nicer to my guildies. XD
That’s where I’m at. The only slots on most of my alts that could potentially have champion upgrades are neck/rings. The chances of me getting ones with the stats I want are slim enough that I’ve already stopped worrying about keys and bountifuls. If I happen to get one, I get one. If not, I’ll keep using last season’s until I can recraft.
Yesh I learned the hard way, because my prot paly is doing no damage and really needs the tier set boost. Grinding out some delves this week to get highest possible vault and 3 options on that alt.
They have been good about putting tier pieces in the vault this season.
I wouldn’t mind it if we could target trinkets. There’s a few ok delve trinkets (chaotic nethergate for example) and I wouldn’t mind having that at hero level for some toons in mythic +. I do agree that 9/10 times the hero piece feels like it’s a trinket.
For healers, shoutout to the twisted mana sprite. That sucker does like 15% of my healing. Make sure to check the vendor everyday and check show all at the top of the vendor. I’ve seen the battery before I feel.
I don’t mind how long it takes to gear up in delves, personally. I find that I can run t8s on every class I have around 630 ilvl, which is super easy to get.
Keeps giving me something reliable to do every week while I fill up my delve map.
i get loot that’s an upgrade all the time and im only able to clear tier 8 delves, maybe you problem is you outleveled your item level for delves. I would say delves are monotonous though and quickly get boring, not the best addition to a game that has alot of grinding for basically everything these days
