As the title says. I was having a lot of fun with delves up until today when it became sweatier, more brutal, and unfun than m+. m+ is actually EASIER now. T8 delve as affliction lock brutal and nearly impossible. Sad you have to turn this into a sweatfest. I’m really tired of these Shadowlands moments. Introduce some fun, ruin it entirely, drive people away

Agree completely. No idea why they had to ruin the experience for healers. There’s already not enough healers playing. Great going, blizz.

Did I miss a delves update?
Healers currently complaining about not being able to get invited into +2s.
So do 7s until you’re geared and leveled up Brann enough to do 8s.
Delves still follow a progression path like all the other content.

I don’t recall seeing annoying specific but after the update this morning mobs are hitting noticeably harder than yesterday. My gear is the same so I dunno.
Maybe they tried to fix a scaling bug and messed it up?

As Frost Mage, I needed at least S2 champion weapons and a few other pieces with the rest S1 champion gear, to clear T8 comfortably - of course there is also a chance of a melee heavy boss with unavoidable attacks … then I’m screwed.

As a player who enjoys being challenged by the games I play, I hope they don’t modify delves to cater to your tastes. Enough of the game has been altered to suit players who don’t yearn to be challenged and delves don’t need to go down that same design path. As a piece of challenging solo content, it fulfills a niche which does not currently exist in the game which is beneficial for everyone.
It may not be content designed to your tastes, but neither is most of the content in the game. The design team seems to be moving away from building the game in a strict linear way around a player who only enjoys one aspect of the game. This pivot to a design focused around a breadth of content to cater to different tastes is an extremely positive move that I am grateful for.
ha…so it wasnt just my imagination…

No, it’s not your imagination at all.

This is just my forum character lol. I was running at 622 ilvl affliction lock. They hit way harder after maintenance. They broke the scaling badly

Playing a destro lock and doing T8 is easy as hell.
Highly doubt anything was changed with the scaling for DPS specs. My 11s today felt no different than my 11s yesterday or Monday.

Hmm. I did 4 or 5 tier 11s yesterday on this character, went deathless on one run, only 1 death for the others, one due to a D/C. I used Brann as healer. I even sent the Underpin packing in Myomancer, though he dropped no loot, the stingy jerk. I’ll run one after dinner to see if it feels different than yesterday. Ran as MM/ sentinel
Later edit: Did Underkeep on 11. Honestly it seemed even easier than the ones I did yesterday, so idk 
T8 is set for 640 ilvl. Get your Ilvl up more. Do T7, do raid finder and normal.
They don’t actually.
I have yet to find any real difference with delves other than some new mechanics. Now the Undermine mobs that are sprinkled in hit a bit harder, but other than that all it takes is a bit of patience. Then again I am a Prot Paladin that I’ve tinkered with to do more DPS than tank. I am almost doing as much DPS as when I switch to Ret.
Set Bran to heal and just walk through them like cake.
If you are not a tank, I thought they set up Bran to provide a tank spec.
Personally, I have always played a toon with a tank spec for leveling then play my DPS spec in groups. Tanks solo/level so easily. Plus, it helps you play your DPS better because you have a much better understand of the tank mechanics.
I saw a lot of people going on about delves being undertuned last week. Talking about beating t11 easily. That is obviously not intended for week 1 of the season! All this complaining from people that their free ride got taken away is just ridiculous.
