I just did a bunch of tier 8 delves in a group with a tank and a healer (I was dps). Those runs were easier than doing a tier 4 solo, and substantially easier than M0 dungeons - by a really, really large margin. The tank’s Brann did remarkably high damage.
Bountiful delves drop better gear than M0s, and the same track as the normal raid, but the difficulty isn’t at all comparable.
No, I’m serious. I just did several of them with a BDK, a resto druid, and me (ele shaman), with the tank’s Brann set to dps. It was trivial. Like, almost open world content level of trivial. Two other friends, who did it with a bear and a rogue, had the same experience.
We did 4 T8 bountiful delves as 3 dps and it was significantly easier than going in as 1 dps. My rogue was 582 and was getting destroyed solo but I could “tank” the same
Mobs without evasion up in the 3 man group.
I decided to dip out of the solo delve quickly and just wait for my friends to be ready to continue as a group, since it was going to be so much faster that way.
I did a t8 bountiful and then failed the second. Grouped with 2 friends and we had dps ytank and heals. We finished the rest no problem. Was a pretty big difference but might just be my class. I was getting 2 tapped on the bosses
It’s not solo specific content. Everyone seems to think so, yet I can’t find anything on Blizzard’s websites that says Delves are solo. This ain’t Mage Tower.
Easy champion track gear, hero vault gear. I’ll do 9-11 + Zekvir’s solo, for “the challenge.”
They always said it was for 1-4 players and an alternate progression path for people who didn’t want to do Mythic+ or Raiding. I don’t think they ever specifically said solo only.
I did them solo and in a group, tier 8 delves were a complete joke for us, that said it’s clear the majority of players are struggling with this and mythic 0s so they should really pick that group to balance the game around instead of people like me or even the 1%ers.
My biggest issues are some of the mob abilities are bugged like the plant’s unavoidable explosion or the kobold’s unavoidable fire ticks that are hitting twice for every instance instead of once (usually resulting in one-shots) or caster mobs chunking my over six million health with a single, basic cast (though that is also true of most caster mobs this expansion, not just in delves).
