Where blizzard failed with Delves

its doable, the problem is the competency of the games current devs. they seem to just be throwing out hotfixes willy-nilly, then fixing bugs that break the hotfixes, then adding new bugs just for the fun of it

Nowhere near tier 8, that’s the problem. And before the edgelords come calling, if that’s even a word anymore. I’m here to have fun, not to work overmuch on a game.

It’s all functional though.

People just need to realize they aren’t as good as they thought they were.

Disc and Holy DO NOT HAVE AN INTERRUPT.

You can not outplay that, that is something that means YOU DIE if you get put against the wrong miniboss/boss.

What I mean by “it depends on the encounter” is that there might be ways to mitigate mechanics without the use of a kick. So do you have any specific examples?

If you’re struggling anywhere between tier 1 and tier 7 it’s 100% a skill issue

Those are easily soloed by any class.

Then maybe challenging solo content isn’t your thing.

The two worst offenders by far are the Spider/Crab rider miniboss and Xikvik in Underkeep.

tally is disc and he cleared t11

Bran does supposedly.

You can also outrange casts.

Like I said it’s a skill issue.

So every other disc and holy
That have cleared it solo are hacking? Nah just a skill issue here.

It is not a skill issue, it is a lack of developer attention to specs that do not have proper toolkits for the content.

Yes, you can do 11s, but there are a few encounters that are so “kick mandatory” that if you get those, you can’t do them anymore.

This is specifically complains about them needing to FIX OUTLIERS.

Have you not seen how hard the spider riders dot ticks for if you do not interrupt it? Have you not seen how hard xikvik hits for if you can not stop the channel?

I think people need to understand here that not everyone who plays this game WANTS to be pushing keys, raiding, and spending lots of time perfecting skills for a computer game.

Success isn’t always pushing and pushing. Sometimes it’s sitting sown with a cup of coffee and putzing around a bit, maybe accomplishing something not too taxing in the half hour we have between real life events.

Sometimes I think the WoW devs have lost track of that.

Which means

Is 100% applying to you.

Sure. If you don’t want any sort of challenge, other world content such as world quests, or simply playing delves on tier 1 should be adequate. No one needs to clear delves on t8 solo. That is for players who want to play solo and want to have progression.

No, it does not mean that at all because the issue is not with numerical tuning it is with lack of abilities to deal with mechanics.

I was doing 8s at 560, the problem has always been the lack of access to an interrupt on very specific encounters and more gear will never fix that.

You can pre-rapture and PS yourself on xikvik and still die because you are unable to stop the channeled cast.

And that’s fine. Delves are the solo version of the above modes and is supposed to be challenging

Which means if you don’t want to deal with challenging content then don’t do it.

Fun is subjective.

If you don’t find challenging content fun don’t do challenging content.

Not sure what the disconnect is.

The issue is lack of skill.

Suuuuuuure you were.

That’s why you outrange it.

The cope is strong with you.

Ah yes, the same old argument against casual content for the last 10 years. Don’t like it? Too hard? Just don’t do it.

Well, that’s bound to affect the bottom line…

There is no cope, you are just an idiot that refuses to see there are clear outliers that need balanced out in Delves currently.

Gear and a higher level Brann definitely do mitigate mechanics where more skill would be necessary. 560 is well below where Blizzard intends for you to be 600, so of course it will be more difficult or outright impossible to live through some mechanics you could ordinarily tank.

I don’t know which miniboss you’re talking about off the top of my head, but if you’re talking about Xikvik’s encasing webs, I am like 99% sure that is a magic debuff and can be dispelled by holy/disc before it reaches max stacks.

The entire concept of delves is to have challenging solo content. That’s the entire purpose of it. It’s something that solo players have been “requesting” for years.

Being casual has zero to do with it. Being casual doesn’t mean you’re bad at the game. I’m a casual mythic raider. You’re hiding behind the term casual to justify not succeeding in delves.

Did you complain like this about mage tower too?
