Solo DPS in delves is too challenging. Can we please change that?

One thing I really don’t like about this current expansion is how boring and difficult it is to play a DPS character, as a ordinary casual player. I am by no means one of the most talented or capable DPS players, I just want to play something simple and relatively easy. My favorite class is a warlock, and I’m actually really good at it. The problem is, I have to balance DPS with survival now and somehow be a tank at the same time as I am a DPS in delves. Warlock void walker is absolutely terrible, on T8 delve you’re void walker can be instantly killed and while you’re trying to re-summon him you die.

DPS is honestly just a boring sweatfest and I thought they would have made it easier with delves but nope! It’s because two Manning delves simply does not work when the other person is brann, a brain-dead NPC. Healer is good, but he gets stunned and holds no agro/your VW dies. Tank is good, but you can’t heal him so… he’ll just die, again.

You’re not playing your class well if you’re struggling in delves. You’ve got a lot of utility that you’re evidently not taking advantage of.

Are you picking up Brann pots?

Are you avoiding mechanics?

Why not try Brann as a healer, if not?

Are you geared enough?

T8s are generally easy for anyone that’s half-decent at their class.

He doesn’t want to do ANY mechanics it seems… and there are modes for that.

Although stuff being 100% success rate should make it unengaging and boring.

Brann pots heal your pet. Once I learned this it was easy. I also go demo for delves because felguard is a better tank

Healing pets is irrelevant when voidwalker dies instantly lol why do they have 25% of the HP and survivability of hunter pets? This makes no sense. It’s a demon from the nether.

My felguard doesn’t die very easy and I’m doing 11’s

If I know anything about wow, if you’re not having fun, it’s your fault.

Have you tried watching 10 hours of instructional videos, installing and configuring a completely new UI, buying a few raid clears, memorizing all the mobs cast sequences, and then pulling them one at a time?

most current classes have diluted specs and are considered super easy. there are a couple i can think off that could use some squishing.

your class for example. ret is literal braindead levels of simple. if youre having problems with ret. then its a you problem not a class problem.

why arent you using bran tank or healer then.

… you consider yourself a good player but youre having trouble with 8s? okay dude lol.

any pet class can literally just muscle 8s.

ive sent a hunter with 600 ilvl to a 8 delve this season and he just lives. sure it takes a while but thats fair since hes so low ilvl.

i get the player bar is low but. delves are just so easy. you can literally wait for all of your cds on every pull if you wanted to.

you can bring drums and do a pull every 10 minutes if you wanted lol.

felguard is completely and incredibly different due to scaling of demo’s mastery

What is your brann setup for this? just curious. for hunters…

I’ve also got a Surv Hunter, I play with healer Brann.

It’s easier to pick up pots when both you and your pet are melee.

Pet gets low and no Exhilaration?

Brann Pots. Also spamming Mend Pet since it’s free, off cooldown.

Save Turtle and stuff for when pet dies, rez under turtle.

unless you use your charge attack …whatever its name is. and brann throws the pots where you were 2 seconds ago.

anyways if youre having trouble with delves and you need some pointers.

use brann as a healer

use the clone skill he has

and the dino bots

use a long range skill to start fights. brann will inmediatelly douse you with health pots. grab all of em then charge in. youll have a massive heal over time that nothing short of eating circles will kill you. > pop cds and delete stuff.

YOU NEED TO INT STUFF

DONT STAND ON BAD STUFF .

Your warlock is 624 ilvl. Do you even play it?

Delves are easy if you’re struggling as a warlock it’s a skill issue.

His warlock is 624 ilvl. It’s 100% a skill issue.

alot of people are just casual “veteran” tier players.

but yeah.

even veteran delve runners would have brann carrying em at this point. lvl 80 brann is busted or so ive heard. mines barely 50 lol

It absolutely is a skill issue but t8 delves still require a higher level of play compared to t1.

Normally sweatfest means it’s intense. Like you’re so focused and trying so hard you’re sweating. That’s by definition not boring right?

Yeah, he says DPS is boring but also sweaty and difficult?

It just doesn’t register to me lol.

I don’t see how you could be bored, but also on the edge of your seat?
