Why are delves easy?

So returning from S1 roughly a week ago, did the story and got into delves. Starting at the tier 4 cause I guess they got reset I thought I would see how far I could climb. Surprisingly at 57X I was able to climb to tier 9 with very little trouble despite the game saying you want to be like 645(?). Now my ilvl is 630 and even did Underpin ? with no trouble on my first attempt. Maybe it was a flook? Maybe Marksmanship is crazy good? Tried with a fresh Mistweaver at about 585 and started at tier 8, was way easier. Prot warrior was a snoozefest.

Not asking for mobs to do 70% health each attack like S1 but like I think I’ve died 3 times in delves on S2 over about 40 runs now. Anyone else having similar experience?

The only difficulty about them is the damage which is a pity and an annoyance for certain classes.

I’m not saying hard, I’m looking for a reasonable balance. I’m trying to figure out like is it supposed to be a 570 DPS can just get max gear for little effort?

No. But a lot of folks want that gear for little effort so youre not allowed to say anything about it

Instead of making 34 (or is it 36) different variations for individual specs, they made delves support all variations. Some will have an easier time than others.

If you’re looking for additional challenges, there are other places to look.

So the fun of delves being a solo progression thing is just gone in favor of slightly harder quests? That’s a real bummer.

You really are butt hurt about Delves. You know you can ignore them and the players that use them?

i’m sure they are difficult for some people. don’t overestimate how bad some players can actually be

Pretty much.

And i do. But it still affects the game as a whole which affects everyone else outside of delve play too

you can do all of it bar underpin?? in s1 gear so it is probably easy yeah.

its cute you expected a tank to have a challenge. if you are competent, most content is a snoozefest. also, hunter? you expected that to have a challenge? with a built in duo partner/tank?

Maybe next time, just turn off the monitor and play by sound if you are looking for a challenge, The Daredevil Challenge.

Shouldnt have to create the challenge YOURSELF when its advertised as challenging solo content.

this is why you fail. expecting things to be as advertised by Blizzard.

I mean, that’s been the norm for like at least half the expansions.

M+ and Mythic raid deliver. Why cant we crank up the tuning on Delves to somewhat match?

Want easier times, pick lower difficulties. The entire purpose of having “tiers”

Nah he just likes being carried in group content. He’s got a hate bone for Delves.

I just was playing the specs I enjoy, and I can clear delves fine with DPS Brann on my hunter the only hard part is using survival abilities on bosses that have unavoidable AoE.

I’m planning on trying enhancement and holy paladin as well warlock and priest.

no they dont. mythic+ is 99% of the times a crap shoot, depending on what adjectives are for any given week. and Mythic is only hard for the world first raiders because its always comically overtuned, and nerfed into the ground once the race is over.
