The abject failure that are delves

I tried it on the higher difficulty, after getting Nemesis and Immortal Spelunker, and I was able to get one egg down with all CDs, and two Sudden Death charges built up, with a combat potion.

Then I seemingly always pull aggro from Brann and die before the second egg. Even with Shield Wall, Demo Shout, Last Stand, popping Victory Rush, and having Shield Block up, I can only last about 6-10 seconds of just melee hits.

Yeah. It went from ‘we’re super close’ to ‘okay he’s thiccc and Brann gets folded like an origami swan’ between pulls.

If I’d gotten the higher rank on the aimed shot trinket, I’d probably have got him betfore the ‘fix’

I just tested Solo on my Blood DK (580 iLevel) in a Tier 8 Underkeep. Seemed fine but I don’t know about the other Tank specs.

Oof. That’s rough.

I got smoked by him and went to go clear up some achievements back in tier 8, and I was on the last boss when the (bad) hotfix went live.

Mirror Master Murkna Melee hit You 5,072,064 Physical. (16,918,730 Overkill).

I honestly feel like this is going to be a wild swinging pendulum of nonsense with delves, to the point where they’re going to neuter them completely or give up on them as they’re too much work to balance.

I just don’t get how there is this mysterious aura inside the delves that cause tanks to take 3x the damage of DPS in solo. It just blows my damn mind. So now tanks take more damage, and deal less damage than DPS do?

Isn’t there like…a tank shortage going on?

You can’t have it both ways, pick one and stop complaining.

If you say “its supposed to be a solo staple” (which i agree) you can’t then turn around and complain that running as a group is now unfun.

Geez dude, talk about conflicting statements!

It IS supposed to be a challenge with reward for solo play… i think its well balanced for that right now.

Those who cheesed it to easy victory in groups the first few days were doing borderline exploitation and im glad they nerfed that into the ground.

I think its exactly whete it needs to be right now and way better than it was a few days ago. If you or anyone else is about to complain:

“Its no fun for group play”

No duh, that’s like complaining raids and Mythic+ suck for the solo player. If you want group play, go Raid or do Mythic+ that’s what its there for. Delves AS YOU STATED are designed for solo play and i think they’re perfect for that right now.

Are you okay? I can see the veins on your forehead from here.

As a DK i play both roles quite a bit… generally when im soloing world content, i DPS unless i can’t survive then i switch to Tank… if im in group content i don’t mind tanking.

As Delves stand right now, both before and after the hotfix… i only noticed a change to group play, solo play seems unaffected. Both before and after going tank solo seems pointless… i literally do better as DPS solo in Delves.

As for “ruining tanks” or whatever the argument is, i don’t get it… its like the other guy complaining he couldn’t solo delves as a healer… if you can’t solo delves as a tank or a healer that doesn’t mean those players are excluded from delves… that means “duh, try using your DPS spec”, its there for a reason.

Play the class, not a spec!

I believe you are the one crying on the forums pal because Blizz didn’t cater specifically to you… might want to pull up your big boy britches son, and stop whining… the waaaaambulance is coming for you.

Another step towards being Torghast 2.0. Players had to hate it to truly be a proper sequel to Torghast.

I’m not crying at all. I have Immortal Spelunker and Nemesis already. It’s totally unfair to everyone else, and defending this is insane.

Just another abject failure of Blizzard’s, that will once again divide the community and increase toxicity.

Yeah, I have no faith in Blizzard making this fun. It wasn’t before, it’s even less-so after the changes, and the lack of communication is frustrating.

Weekend is here, if they sneak out the door and say nothing, yikes!

I got my fav pitchfork and torch right here, I’m ready Beef!

:laughing:

It’s not even just the lack of communication with these recent changes, it’s the total lack of transparency the entire time delves have been tested and live.

There are so many things that feel like a massive bait and switch with them, that I have zero hope they’ll make it fun.

At this point they should just disable them. Then either fix them in a future patch or just remove them from the came entirely. The incompetence from blizz this expansion has been over the top.

Sadly I agree, but it’s also unfair to the people who haven’t unlocked the vault slots this week, and or haven’t had a chance to gear up for M+ until the weekend.

They can solo them until Blizz fixes group scaling.

No, you can’t as a tank.

For some reason tanks take 3x the damage that DPS do.

We get hit for 3-5m per melee swing.

It’s not possible.

I just did 2 this morning bro on my Blood DK who was 585 ilevel. I don’t know what else to tell you.

With no mention of level of delve, of course.

Go try Zekvir on ?? then get back to me.

8’s. What do you think I was talking about?

What does this have to do with Zekvirs Delve at all?
