I think the damage of last boss in the dread pit is ridiculously over tuned. I should not have to run out of a room to avoid damage that will kill me no matter what.

Yeah thatās basically the issue. The delve will be tough but doable, and then the boss will just completely steamroll you.

Realistic expectations with context, yeah. Like a dungeon or raid isnāt expected to be done solo, and a DPS class/spec isnāt expected to be a healer. But personally, my expectation for delves is that they should be balanced around the lowest common denominator in terms of spec abilities (NOT player skill, thatās a wholly separate thing).
As it is, a lot of specs are going to struggle with delves until they can brute force overpower them to where the mechanics essentially donāt matter, because some specsā kits are lacking in CC to control mechanics and/or survivability to eat the unavoidable ones.
But if the goal is for someone to progress their character through completing delves, this disparity can be a point of friction if one class can breeze through them and continue to get gear more easily (that they donāt even need since theyāre already having an easy time), meanwhile another struggles due to utility deficiencies and canāt get the gear that they need to be able to push further. Even for someone who plays alts, clearing delves with a DK isnāt going to fill their mageās vault, yāknow?
Its been happening for a long time. Solo players left out for years. Now something for solo players introduced and you want that too ? Go do your M+.

I demand a retrial!
Delves are just misunderstood content trying to make their way in the WoW universe.

Yes, I agree, but there is balance. Itās just that the balance does not automatically translate to every single activity in the game. Even within one class, different specs have different strengths.
A player can absolutely choose which is more important, soloing delves, or class-fantasy, just like they can choose utility over damage or even between single-target and AoE. Taking that agency away is a very poor way to balance things, yāknow?
Canāt you immune the curse and even spec to purge it with AMS if you somehow miss your interrupt?
You can also talent for one of the fastest interrupts in the game.
Iāve never been in a mythic dungeon. There is no reason why those players (and casual players alike) should not be able to do delves with their friends. 90% of the game is open to us casual solo players, so there is no reason to shoehorn delves into a solo-only activity.
I have to ask, why are you so focused on what other people are doing in the game? You are not in competition for a raid spot or anything, I assume. So what gives?
We have reports from elite esports players that it is indeed harder solo when doing these
Scaling might be a bit wonky approach with caution!
I got Brann to level 16 only recently, I think the xp pool grows like heās a player like us, which is interestingā¦ Means weāll be doing a LOT of delves, and with the difficulty of Mythics apparent, and the fact I canāt complete a Dread-Pit Tier 5, Iā¦ Am lookin at a fast approaching wall, and also losing the chance to get that beautiful Void derigible.

They need to stop advertising them as solo content. Now wowhead is saying not to do them solo and to do them as a group.
So are the posts I was replying to.
If you want help, post on the character youāre struggling on. If you want to externalize blame and whinge, keep on going and get dumb replies.
Assuming youāre appropriately geared, people have successfully done what youāre trying to do.
Despite them being harder solo, they arenāt impossible. Thereās no ladder. Would it be better if they were balanced to solo? Yes. But they are approachable but hard solo, which is great, at least for me. I just finished running 4 on my ele sham, starting at 574 and ending around 582. They were very hard, and it felt good to finish them.
Dude 4 is nothing. Try a 6 on your ele shaman.
WoW is at one of its low points right now.
This expansion sucks.

I love delves, solo maybe yeah tough, tanks of course will be better then a pure DPS clean that canāt sustain.
Verdict: OP is bad
Aww thanks youāre sweet. Even wowhead says they need nerfs. Get out of here.
vERDICTā¦ You are bad perhaps?
I just did them with a buddy fury warrior and frost mage and we did a few 8s. Not too bad.
Yes some of melee hits are too strong and yes you have to learn how to kite. They could use tweaking but its not a bad system.
And getting champion gear with a bountiful delve for jumping into something with no wait that takes 15 min is not too shabby week one of a season.
its day three. Iām sure they will do some balancing. Iāve done t8ās on three classes now, two dps, one tank, all under geared to start, so they are definitely doable
Look bro if you go into 8 at ilvl 585 and you arenāt good enough to do the mage tower, you arenāt ready.
