Does anyone have any strategies besides the spore mech for delves? I wanna solo bountiful delves on my alts for Brann Exp but the ones without overcharge or spores on my alts are such a paaaain to solo especially on my priest or they take like 40 minutes cuz I’m healer ( how is tank Brann now btw?) any strategies to allow me to more efficient? I’ve googled and looked all over google, besides the spore mech haven’t found anything else.
Pick the easier delves until you are the appropriate ilvl. Some specs will struggle more than others; it’s ok to take it slower and make sure you have enough DPS before you tier up, imo.
Do you use a damage meter at all? You can use that to compare your main’s DPS to your healer’s DPS, because that’s what it comes down to in the end, especially for the bosses. If you can DPS better, and get away with DPS Brann, you will have a better time, in my experience.

In what way does overcharge and the spores help?

Kill them first before they kill you , dps harder. Thats basically it for every mob pull , trash pull .

Do glowy delves and only glowy delves. Doesn’t matter which ones. That will generate good amounts of Brann Exp. Do as many as you can do with the keys you get per week.
How long have you been doing delves? Because I was doing 4 a week on my main and maybe a couple more on alts since the start of the season and I hit Max Brann level very fast. It really doesn’t take that long.
Transfer whatever undercoin you have to one toon and buy the Wave Scrambler. Put it in Warbank. If you are doing well in a Delve 7+, just use the Warbank access portal to get it and use it. The Kingpin will drop a Delver’s Bounty which gives Hero loot and I’m pretty sure, decent exp. Make sure that you get this done at least once a week per toon, if you haven’t already had the Delver’s Bounty drop. I find doing 11s, it turns up after 2 runs at most.

Overcharge delves, once you get enuf progress on the new Belt track, will mean every sparkly trap becomes instead a buff and damage mitigation. Makes things pretty easy.
Spores now can and will damage mobs so using it right is just more DPS for free.

The new delve buffs are from the delve console.
Has nothing to do with the belt really.
To upgrade the console you can just do T1’s and collect everything in them and kill all the mobs.
The belt is a totally separate thing

I ran eights for a long time because my Brann was way too low. I am a healer and tried him as a tank and it worked but it was too slow. So I switched to dps, which I’m not great on, and Brann to healer. I’m almost done with the console. And nowadays I’m running elevens. But, alts work too for collecting the console tokens and you can mail them back and forth.
Good luck!
I prefer the Delves where I can see the floor.

I can’t recall exactly what level, but once you get so far into the delves ability tree the glowy death traps turn into a shield with a short damage buff.
I get one between me and a big bad guy, then pull, then run into the glowy puddle and blow CDs.
I’ve deleted 2 groups of Underpin mobs with 2 of the Elites in a pull earlier today using that tactic. The room had like 4 puddles so used one on pull which chunked all their health by a good 50%, then ran around the room to stand in the puddles whenever the buff wore off. Felt so powerful on my little show priest seeing that 5M DPS in details after the room was clear 
Only took like 2 mins, felt like 20 min and was hectic but fun.
Had to use my feathers to run around to grab the health pots once when I thought I was gonna die
edit to note: I took Void tendrils so I can root them all in place for a bit so I can beat them up then run away after I fade agro to Brann. As a healer he’s a bit tanky so usually lives thru my antics.

Yeah, I know. But it turned up at same time as Belt, so I figured it’d be close enough

They changed it again? Initially it damaged mobs, then they changed it so it only damaged you, now it damaged mobs again?
Yes, Fungal Folly went from the suckiest Delve to great and easiest now.

dont even need to mail em, thats wasting money, pop em in your warband bank
Tank Brann from my experience is great as healer as long he’s not super low level and getting obliterated instantly when he pulls large.
Switch to Shadow Priest and let Brann do the healing. His little red bottles are a big help.

He’s passable, but seems squishier now; granted, I recently came back after a few weeks off.
I am by no means a hard core player. That said, I was doing T11 delves on my hunter at item levels below what it recommends. I never had any issues. I maybe died once but that was because I was stupid and rushed instead of using the candles. I am not trying to be mean or anything, but I get confused when people tell me that delves are hard.
