Why buff Delve difficulty?

topic says it all, were they considered too easy?

When did they buff them? That happen today?

The difficulty is weird in these things.

Fight going on for 20 seconds with barely any damage and suddenly your getting chunked for 80% of your health for no visible reason. Survive it and heal up and back to barely any damage.

As of today, they’re much harder with extra mechanics.

Yes.

Seemed about the same to me. Only done one since restart though.

Notes? I’m on a plane and haven’t been able to log in.

I wouldn’t say they are hard or easy. I will say regular mobs (non elites) in those things are damage sponges.

Blizz has been pretty forthcoming with delve changes, so I’m gonna need to see some more evidence before I believe that delves were made more difficult.

I don’t see any sort of Delve changes noted anywhere?

I believe Delve buffs are warranted though. I’m mindlessly clearing Tier 8’s without dying a single time. I think having a Tanking pet trivializes a lot of the content, though.

Maybe you’re doing a Story variant you’ve not done yet so there’s new stuff?

This is legit truth. Delves go from boring health sponges to whoops that tiny kobold almost killed you without warning

Its not difficult its boring then annoying.

This seems most likely, especially considering some of the variants are notably more difficult than others.

Just did 2 delves, I didn’t notice anything different other than some weird “out of nowhere” damage hits. Except…

AFTER the last delve was finished, I was entering the treasure room and as I entered, I was hit by something for 3/4 of my health, this was WAY after all combat ended and there was nothing in the combat log to explain it.

I dunno, but seeing a lot more “phantom damage” spikes lately.

I haven’t tried delves this week yet but to be fair, they were pretty easy.

Where’s my downvote button. Easy for who?

I don’t mind harder mechanics but I can do without the randomized health chunking that brings me from 100% to 2% without warning.

LOL what? I just did a tier 8 sinkhole in 12 minutes.

“Much harder”

Pfft. I’m 601 and notice no change here

Most people I know. I mean… I was soloing 8s at ilevel 587. That really should’ve been more difficult to do. Especially at such a low ilevel.

Not to mention how easy they are for groups.
