They made delves worse again

Yeah but you have zero useful heals (weird for a priest?) so if the mob gets in your face with no way left to get it off it’s just damage damage damage dead

7 minute boss kiting fights can be fun but no one has ever raved about how much fun spending 3 minutes apiece kiting 10 trash mobs was

And I am easily soloing 8s on a healer with no interrupt, but that does not mean it is in an acceptable state.

Levels also go past 8, cosmetic only but that is no excuse, and the problems get worse.

You have to play it like a healer then, turn on a threat meter and be ready to smash Fade on CD and waste 40 minutes of your life per run.

Me, too. I would love to do delves solo in Resto, but it’s just not an option. I have to do all world content and delves in Balance.

I can’t kill critters from Resto unless I spec all the cat DPS, which I don’t like. It’s like Blizzard said, “Yeah…we really just don’t think you should play a balance affinity resto druid anymore.”

Did 8 mycomancer bountiful on my enhance shaman and it was actually pretty smooth the whole way. Not sure how they are on certain classes but I think they’re in a decent spot now.

We just have to see how it scales. 8 is all that matters right now and with more levels with brann and item level he scales.

Enhance is pretty good, I did one as Enh on my Rsham and it was a walk in the park in comparison to Resto. You have to be careful to say “they are in a decent spot now” when they are only in a decent spot for a certain subset of specs in the game.

The disparity in diffuclty between specs really has to be fixed soon.

No, people learn how to use their toolkit.

Brann tanking for healers is somewhat justified but not really necessary either.

No, some classes do not have the tools to DO it.
but youre doing nothing but trolling here so mute.

Classes have a lot, especially if you care to PVP.

it’s much more than just dumping PVE dps rotation.

Gameplay of ignoring all mechanics because Brann is tanking is not something that should happen.

No amount of scaling or gear fixes Priest Healers not having access to a kick… other than making every kickable spell do trivial damage, but then why even have them?

I think they are in a (much?) better place but only for many classes, definitely not all.

It was much better last night doing T4 with my moderately undergeared blood DK and DPS Brann, as he actually did D.

But it’s probably still crap on any of my healing specs as Brann apparently is now the least threatening thing in the world, of Warcraft.

Priest healers are healers, they could also… heal.

Spriests are just terrible healers, it’s mystifying really

A big issue is the playstyle you have to use on a lot of specs(mainly healers? not sure) is gear agnostic, doing a delve on a 560il healer is the same as on a 590 healer.

You are just there to be ready to pop cds if Bran loses threat. Even all the nerfs to bran have not changed this playstyle because it is borderline required for some specs, all the nerfs do is make it slower and more tedious.

Cooldowns exist to be used.

And if you’re not needing to use them, it’s not challenging enough.

Spacing out cooldowns so that you have something is important for challenging healer gameplay.

The way I took out the Dread Pit boss on my slightly undergeared blood DK was ridiculous: Strafe circle the boss in melee range and hit as many keybinds as I could with most of my fingers already busy clawing the keyboard. (The telegraphed abilities are so big that you have to be moving before they start.) I actually had to click AMS as it was so far away…

I wasn’t paying attention to Brann but somehow he wound up dead halfway through and complained until he rezzed himself later. It would have been simpler not having him around in case he moved the boss etc

Minutes of this BS which minus the constant circling was a really boring attrition fight with only one outcome.

Anyway these kinds of fights are just not creative design. :man_shrugging:

You are undergeared, and depending on by how much, maybe it should be even harder.

Delve difficulty is far from uniform.

Make delves solo only. Give Bran a Blood DK tank version. Balance mechanics around that.

That would require a complete redesign for delves because just unloading PVE rotation is not good gameplay.
