That delve balance hot fix was a joke right?

One of the crypt spider caster had hit me for 3 m on the first day
On the second day he hit me for 800k
Next day he hits me for 20 m
now he hits me for 1.2 m

All tier 8 -same mob same week -multiple tuning passes - whose is DOING THE TESTING HERE ?? PAY ME :rage:

All right, just went and did a Tier 8 delve and OP is full of crap. No, itā€™s not faceroll. But I didnā€™t struggle either. I just pulled one mob at a time whenever possible and made good use of defensives.

Go watch Xaryu mage solo in 593 gear beat Zekvir lvl ??. Skillz

Solo delv still frustrating. Still takes an hour to do one delv. Nothing about them screams casual right now. Blizzard missing the mark

An out of season April Foolā€™s joke

I did two 8s last night by myself and finished both. One death in the first and none in the second. You have to play with caution, otherwise youā€™ll pull too much and die. It helps that I have a pet, I know, but I almost died terribly several times. Health potions are so good this expansion, so donā€™t forget to utilize those

Iā€™m going to do that anyhow though :stuck_out_tongue:

They are still fun and Iā€™m finding my way back into 8s on the characters I was already doing them on. Iā€™ll admit when my wife and I finished an 8 on a 566 warrior/570 druid I was likeā€¦hmmā€¦

But now weā€™re back to clearing them on our priest/lock combo and that same warrior and druid are clearing 7s so they can get 1/8 pieces anyhow.

Which classes are big struggling besides priest in these? (Genuinely asking, not ragebaiting) if theyā€™re the recommended intel level of 600+ for 8ā€™s?

Windwalker is definitely not the worst, but also not an S-tier delve class, and 8ā€™s have been fine (604 ilevel).

Iā€™ve yet to fail one since the last patch.

A LOT of the posts that Iā€™ve seen about 8ā€™s being too hard are from people with like 575-585 ilevel (unless theyā€™re alt posting), which is far below recommended.

Iā€™m guessing these people are pulling 10 mobs and wondering why theyā€™re dying.

But that doesnā€™t stop them faffing around anyway. :frowning:

Not sure if itā€™s priest that is struggling or mostly just shadow. Iā€™m loving discipline in duos and going to try an 8 here in a few.

Yeah Iā€™m talkin about shadow and also in solo delves. I can imagine the lack of kicks, cc, and being a clothie with no mobility or pet to tank being an absolute nightmare.

I will report back in a bit about the solo discipline run for more information. But yeah shadow is struggling I hear.

I imagine you could just set brann to dps and blow through it.

The lack of interrupts though Iā€™m not so sure. Some of those caster packs are wild.

Honestly, me personally, I hope they dont change much. (Tank scaling seems a bit weird atm still, like solo tank.)

But we figured out in t3ā€™s that it was going to be more difficult for some classes than others. There isnt much Blizz can do for that since itā€™s Soloable at t8 by most classes. If you cater to the few that are having problems, then the majority is going to find it too easy.

Example, Ret Pally I have no issues on t8 (double bubble/interrupt/cc). Frost Mage, no issues either (Ice Block modified to heal/defensives/interrupt/lot of cc). Fury Warrior, a little issue (one way to get a small amount of hp back without Brann/decent defensives/interrupts/some CC).

Guardian Druid is also fairly easy (iron fur stacks/barkskin/frenzied regen/cc/interrupts).

Note: when I say easy, I mean they were doable at t8 between 570-580 ilvl. Not that it was actually easy. Most of the time I finished with 1 life left depending on the Delve. I was very methodical and took my time though.

They just got us all to pay full price for a product that hasnā€™t even been beta test yetā€¦we are in the testing phase now.

Yeah thatā€™s what I did. Throw him on DPS, keep atonement on him and myself, and just DPS through every pull alongside him to brute force my heals through their damage.

Already done. Discipline made it look easy for the SPriests out there.

Heā€™s 588 by the way so Iā€™m not nearly ā€œovergearedā€ for this.

Depends on your class/spec. My lock is getting face rolled, tried different specs too. Brann is constantly dead or dying. Void walker will not hold aggro at all. at this is tier 7 I was soloing these before with a bit of challenge on some. Now i just constantly die. Makes no sense. my one interrupt is pet specific but I cannot use that pet because then all mobs will be one shotting me.

I mean Iā€™m struggling just to do 5ā€™s. I thought the lower difficulties would be easier since we get 570 gear from world quests that are super easy but Iā€™m getting one shot.

I wouldnā€™t mind if they made the lower difficulties a little bit easier and kept the challenge up high

They made it harder because people were saying it was too easy. Or gearing was too easy, so lower the rewards not break the delves. I soloā€™ed all the way through 8. was doing a few 7s comfortably not the easiest still popping potions. then i cannot complete a 7. I understand some deaths but I was getting insta killed sometimes right after reviving.
