100% this, we already have mythic dungeons and raiding for group content. Delves were meant to be the solo friendly content with an option to group - not require groups

Blizzard, forcing us to do delves is one thing. Forcing us to do a delve that is absolutely broken and bugged, smh⊠go step on a lego as soon as you wake up in the morning.
Just finished this on my 578 FDK and this strat did reduce the damage from the tick.
How are they forcing you to do waterworks? lol
Daily bountiful
Waterworks: easily done today as solo again.
Unclear how thatâs âforcedâ. And itâs easy to solo, maybe youâre just bad. Thatâs on you.
Soloed. I positioned myself with the two poison clouds in between Waxface and myself for each burn away and found it quite simple. First two ticks of burn away hit and burnt up the clouds.
The only broken thing is the purifier fuel not picking up properly. Itâs working fine actually.
Soloed Tier 8. Had to go maximum defensive talents as Arms. Ignore Pain + Spell Reflect the burn. Let Bran get aggro and just bled him until low, then popped everything and rushed him down.
Good thing they are nerfing this âsolo-ableâ contentâŠ
WAT.
This changes everything.
Before and after the tuning he was fine imo, both my alt undergeared at the time warlock could solo him, and my feral main. Set bran as healer and let him get agro, every burn away just walk over brans potions. Only issue iâve had in delves is having the t9 mobs in the t8 delves, but thats since been reverted.
Setting bran to healer for the end bosses works in every delve if youâre struggling
Cleared T8 as resto druid ez
The problem with Waxface is that NOTHING he does can be interrupted. That puts all caster classes at a major disadvantage. The Burn Away spell needs to be CC-able. Any Caster aside from Blizzardâs pet class, the Druid is going to have a hard time.
This fight is way over tuned and broken. The purifying torches donât even spawn sometimes. so then you got to take the burn away with the poison lowering your HP.
Iâm fine with it being hard. Iâm not fine with mechanics you need to live being broken.
Iâve done it on an 8 on a port warrior and prot pally⊠ilvl 585 and 595 respectively. No issue. Not sure about the stand in the green thing. Donât want to call anyone one out for trolling but that seems to NOT be the way, that nearly 1 shot me just get clipped, standing on top of boss, instant death. I just kite him around on the bridge. Donât pick up the candle but stay near the edge and move from one side to the other of the light circle when the green poison comes out, move to other side quickly. Save you defensives for the fire AoE. Takes a little bit but very doable. Over-tuned maybe but I didnât find it terribly difficult once I did it that way. Other classes and specs, no idea.
Yeah was not doable as a 593 ilvl havoc in T9. Swapped to tank and man it was way more comfortable. With Brann on heals I couldnât really die. If you are having issues with this boss swap to tank spec if you are on class that can.
huge pain in the âbuttâ before the delve nerf on T8 as a fury warrior. total snooze as blood dk roughly 30 item levels lower than the warrior. âbe blood dkâ is the best advice i can give if you want to blast delves really ez pz
Did Waxface with several classes on T8 (even squishy ones like dev evoker).
Preparation:
Bring heal pots and perhaps a health stone from a friendly WL. Configure Brann to use dwarven medicine, so he throws the extra pots. The earthen mother trait is helpful as well as âoh sh** mechanicâ.
Before pull bring another totem and drop it next to the bridge, then trigger the other totem but donât pick it up. That doubles the available space to run away from poison and fire.
Fight:
During the fight, kite Waxface at the borders of the totem areas, so you get space to run past him to get on the other side of the poison/fire zones. When Waxface casts poison or fire he stands still so this is the time window to grab pots lying off the way.
