I am still really enjoying delves. I saw someone on Reddit say to just run the highest delves you are comfortable with and stop worrying about getting sweats in high level delves with crappy gear and that made them immensely more enjoyable. I tell everyone to do the same now.
Yeah, especially for those who don't feel the pressure that comes from raiding or mythic plus, what's the rush? No need to race to run out of things to do
Absofuckinglutely. This "only spend keys on 8s* mentality is frustrating. I can comfortably completing 7s on my ret pally and 6s on my prot pally. Yes, 2 paladins I know. I will probably move to 8s on the ret next week, but I would rather not spend my time yelling at the screen.
I absolutely love delves! Best thing they have ever put in the game. I can't handle the repetition of heroic raiding as your hands are tied to the group over a long period of time. I can jump in a delve, switch talents every pull, wait for mobs to walk into pullable locations (I don't see this alot on streams) and log off all within 45 minutes. I've been running just tier 10's as that's the sweet spot for my warlock. And solo zekvir on?? Might be one of my best wow memories!
Delves felt impossible on my shaman. I was getting deleted in 5s and 6s. Meanwhile my prot warrior is running 8+ in 575-580 gear. Its difficult but it feels very doable with smart play. Delve content has such a wide difficulty disparity depending on your class and spec and I think that is where the divide in the community comes from. Some people are having no issues and some people can't progress.
So much this, can't do them on my Elemental Shaman, but my Ret Paladin has no problems at all. Really frustrating not being able to get the gear upgrades on my main.
Thx for the Sum Up. I'm mostly overwhelmed with everything in WoW These days. There is so much to Do and to know. As a long Time Classic WoW Player i really need and appreciate these Kind of Videos! 😊
Looking forward to delve guides. Maybe try them in crafted blue gear instead of your usual raid gear, for a more realistic casual approach? Atm it seems delves are hijacked by mythic + and (tank geared) raiders as "easy gearing" and they want it "more challenging" when with wq gear I struggle! I thought it might be a follower style of normal to heroic content. But if we need to have the right spec or class, geared well from outside of world content, grind Brann to a high level and learn separate mechanics for each delve, it's not "casual" content, it's another option to bg, lfr or lfg but for smaller groups or solo. Hopefully we get more tuning or the season will be over before casuals get to lvl 8 and beyond, leaving high enders to get our mounts, transmorg, gear, and selling us "carries" again. 😅 Keep them accessible or don't call them content for casual players but for high end gamers lacking the time to game.
Nah this is pretty silly. If you are casual, then you aren’t meant to be getting rank three hero gear immediately, enjoy your lower level delves in not a problem 😊
Yeah, I understand you find them hard now. But imagine how boring it would be for the rest of the season when you have full hero gear and just destroy everything just because they tuned it for casuals in blue leveling gear. Higher level of delves is supposed to be a seasonal challenge for the casuals.
For any priests out there looking for a tip, I play shadow and I changed to disco priest and keep Brann to dps. He gets most of the aggro and you just keep him alive while doing some damage. Soloing +8s easily now :) Goodluck!
I don't play priest but I heard that dominate mind, put on a bigger mob every 30sec is very helpful. Like a powerful 3rd teammate. Might be worth a try.
I did this with Holy. Brann needs to both generate more threat and take more damage IMO to make it really feel like you are healing. It's too easy to pull the mob(s) off him. At least we have fade though.
Thank you for being the first content creator to point out what I had to figure out the hard way on my own, which is to use some keys on lower bountiful delves to get veteran gear! Everyone said to save ALL of your keys for level 8s, but trying to run 8s with half of your gear being adventure gear it's a nightmare and makes you want to quit. I appreciate the update! TY
That's wonderful Soul! I really enjoyed your series on Horrific Visions back in BFA. I still don't know where you found the energy to do so many of them with SO many different specs. I look forward to your Delves content in The War Within. Spec specific performance in Delves is probably even more relevant to players and I hope you don't burn yourself out this time around :)
I've been farming T8 delves by using the same exact strats that you mentioned here. Full use of class toolkit and terrain. Even with the slow and steady pace, Im able to clear T8 in about 25mins.
@@13redlion13 maybe because im a balance druid.. trees can taunt, bear form defensives, multiple CCs, heals, stealth.. also i dont mind waiting for big cds to come off cooldown if im pulling an elite/big group
Found the secret to running delves for me is doing it as a tank. Ran some 8s as a guardian tank with low level gear and it was a face roll. It took longer but never really had a problem. They did nearly no damage to me.
I'd like to play an MMO again. Delves in concept at least, is exactly what I have been wanting and could even bring me back to WoW. I am entirely done with ordinary dungeons and just want to play alone or with a friend or two and still have challenging content available, that is also rewarding. But then I remember scenarios, island expeditions, warfronts, island expeditions, visions of nzoth...All failed pretty hard and/or were never supported or built upon. I was a HUGE legion fanboy, I don't think I ever subbed and played every month of an expansion before that and certainly not after. Mage tower was hugely successful and I don't think they ever came close to matching that design in any of their solo content in future expansions.
One thing I see absolutely no one talking about is how tier 8 delves dropped 2 runed crests on the first one completed and since then have not dropped a single runed crest. The chest spawned from the delvers bounty gives 3 gilded crests but if delves are the only way someone is making progress in gear then they are incapable of upgrading things past 606 without reaching the requirements needed to upgrade carved crests at a 6 to 1 ratio.
Help...what tier in bountyful is needed to get Bran past his level 15? I tried with TIer 1 and 2 and got the 3. Chest just fine, but no xp for Bran on both runs.😢
I don't know why more delve videos aren't saying this, but they're about as close to Roguelite content that WoW has gotten so far. For Solo Delving approach rooms and fights like you would in Hades/Risk of Rain/etc... and you'll have a much better time and mindset. I'm not someone who's pushing tier and I still managed bountiful T8s on my sub 585 enh shaman. Only time I died was during scripted ambush, and only because I fat fingered a wrong CD. Healing Brann is very strong.
Lol! Try doing Delves with a Shadow Priest! It's quite a riot! You have to stand still to cast most spells. Not fun when the boss keeps charging you like it's a bull and you're wearing a bright red target. 😂
i've been doing lvl 8 delves as shadow with 575 ilvl and movement was never a problem.... you have tools to kite and change mobs aggro to bran whenever you need with fade
With all the damage being in white hits and casts, the answer is just more gear sadly. I wish more damage was in the avoidable sources or like failed soaks/mechanics.
Coffee made, open up youtube then BAM, Soul's latest just released. Yay! Regarding Delves, I only got up to a Bountiful 5 but Vault says I will get a 600. I did a ton of world events so not sure the exact formula. I don't think ANYONE knows just yet.
I think one the worst part of delves is that mobs can crit. It's supposed to be solo-able content, why does Blizzard expect me to be defense capped as a rogue?
Delves are ok , wish they had better gear as you go up and more crest, but mythic + suck and so does the raid not fun at all and trying to get in to groups is crazy unless you are over geared in the first place then you might get an invite. I'm thinking on canceling my subscription to wow , DF IMO was way better

Why are ret paladins getting nerfed? They’re literally at the bottom of the list for M+ and raiding. We’ve not had a season in a long time where we shine.
I am having the most fun ever in delves solo. I'm clearing tier 8 at 595 ilvl, MM Hunter. I feel great about it because i get to use all my talents and experience and not just plow thru content
Good luck with that. All they care about are the high end players. Having mythic raiders running around saying how easy it is, is only going to encourage them to make it even more challenging and lesser players be damned. They can't help themselves. Watching so many videos of people saying how easy delves are, but they always fail to mention what their own ilevel is.. It's all junk and not worth the effort. In 3 months or whenever season 2 comes along, it will all be worthless.
@@Shilian01 Are you really failing level 1 delves? I feel like the content has a wide skill level included. I think raid and dungeon content does too though. I don't think they really need to create anything weaker than level 1 delve, LFR, and normal dungeons. It should all be doable even for the most casual players. If you want to do higher tiers, just get better gear and play better. It's a good and simple formula.
@@bobhope912 That's legit not true man common .. Blizzard give you everything to do, as true casual. Reality being that you guys seems like to want hight Ilvl gear for no reason. Delves T8 are easy , the M0 and the NM was too imo. But it's fine ! Just don't rush and play lower delves since you want casual thing , why bothering with T8 delves if you won't need that hight Ilvl gear for content ? You can do lower delves, dungeon (even with damn bot to help you out), HC dungeon , LFR , open world. All of this are for casual but somewhat they keep complaining about how "sweaty" other player are and how Blizzard don't give a fuck about them. What do you want more ? It's an mmo , people will be sweat lord. You can force us to slow down even more. You guys got 3 weeks where we got NOTHING. Just to give you time to relax and have your time. Yet you complain again
Would be nice if they let 9+ delves drop higher tier crests. 1 bountiful 9+ delve gives 3 runed crests or maybe 1 at tier 9, 2 at 10 and 3 at 11. It'd give a solo improvement option and a reason to do 9+ delves.
as of tomorrow i'm gonna be busy earning Badges, i have put off collecting them this long and i dont want to miss the unique rewards from Timewalking that may be going away after this rotation.
Regarding delves, Everyone is mad they cant AUTOMATICALLY run t8s for the best loot table. Just grind 5s and work towards 8s. Its so annoying seeing everyone cry about not being the best immediately because someone else is. I can clear 8s easy on my guardian druid, my lock struggles so I am just doing 6s until I can get to 8s. It's absurd how many people are mad there is actually some challenge in the game.
Your final take on delves checks out. "Plays a plate class that has immunity, 25 shields and can heal indefinitely"... What blizzard needs to do is tune these things appropriately for each class/spec if they want this to be successful. I think I'm giving up on them after a week of frustration and not being able to complete a 10.
The icky truth is that you simply can't. Like really, sit down and try to think of how to balance a delve around each and every specialization's toolkit and achieve a goal of taking X minutes to clear the delve at a certain item level. Every mob, every damage source and environmental mechanic retuned for all those different builds. Then consider people making parties and all that balance gets thrown out the window. In content that's spec agnostic there'll always be imbalances. We've already seen attempts at curbing it with tanks taking tremendous melee damage - and the fact of the matter is that the advantage of tanks isn't their mitigation, it's their ability to kite.
Soul, thanks for one of the first realistic takes on delves...I have seen enough of people complaining about them being too hard and/or easy. Delves are fun, but like the Mage Tower they play to different class strengths. Some delves are easier if you have debuffs or dispels others are easier if you're an undead and don't worry about things like breathing :) Ilvl helps, but adapting and running them differently is the best...and there's no timer, so just enjoy them...stop and use that Eye of Kilrog to ensure there's nothing on that side of the room for you to waste your air/light totem on (oh, and always set up the fight by dropping the totem before the fight so that running around doesn't use it up...if you do it right you can connect 2 totems to make a larger space). Do a bunch of non-bountiful 8s in a delve that fits your class/play style to front load your great vault...then just try things. I'm tired of people trying to make every last part of solo content a faceroll. Delves aren't mythic + dungeons...don't make them a race...if that's what you want, then do mythic + and let those who enjoy a more methodical game have our piece.
How many weeks has the xpac been live? 3? And this is the 11th one? How is it that people STILL cant grasp the concept that the first month or two of EVERY MAJOR UPDATE has some issues that need addressing because PTR and interal testing will NEVER compare to the millions of players and hunreds of thousands of different hardware configurations to test the content for bugs and balancing issues. Calling Delves a failure this early in the cycle is hilariously short-sighted and myopic. I've been thoroughly enjoying the new feature so far and i can hardly wait to see what more they do with it in the future.
@@Joe-ti7qd rofl, either 1) you're lying to try to appear "cool" and/or "edgy" or 2) your own worst enemy. seriously, if you're just going to no-life grind only the gear content and skip the rest of the DOZENS UPON DOZENS of other things to do then that is your own fault. I have so much to do on my checklist, it'll take me weeks upon weeks to finish it all. Possibly even over a year. Maybe try branching out and experience the ENTIRE game for a change, rather than the smallest part of it.
I ain't touching delves till Blizzard are done messing around with it willy nilly without properly looking at what's wrong with it. The fact they had a massive bug in it for weeks that gave some players a super powered Brann but not others means they are not serious about this being an evergreen endgame pillar. Probably unsubbing till they get their shit together
Sounds more like an excuse for you to whine. I’ve completed several level 8s and didn’t have the OP brann buff. I don’t know what you mean a massive bug for weeks considering delves were limited before last reset…
@@jmor106what's this excuse to whine you're talking about? Excuse? paying for the game and a monthly sub gives me the right to complain about a bad product delivered to me. I've also completed 8+ delves, you're not special. It doesn't mean it's fun to not have a clue about what kind of difficulty you should expect every time you log in because they're drastically changing many different aspects of the game mode back and forth every day without thinking anything through. Blind fanboyism is so tiresome
Delves are a complete and utter failure so far. Their current state is far worse than anything that Torghast ever was and I'm tired of people pretending otherwise. The tuning is all over the place and quite frankly laughably bad. You don't even have to be good at your job to realize that giving enemies more health and damage in solo content than duo/+ content is incorrect. This is a level of incompetence that I've legitimately never seen from the Dev team, which is really saying a lot. They clearly did not test the content. It's not a matter of gearing either; A tier 8 delve is supposed to be geared towards players with 600 item level and yet, frequently regular, non-elite trash mobs will routinely hit for 600k+ damage. I had a Kobold's fireball hit me for 1.1 million damage and then tick for 400k per tick with the dot. I could have twice my current health pool and it would still be ridiculous amount of damage for a single trash mob. This content isn't even hard, it's just tedious, and I'm tired of spending inordinate amount of time clearing delves because I have to wait for cooldowns in between most pulls. I can certainly guarantee that this content won't even be touched after the gearing portion of it is irrelevant. It's not even a viable alternative to gear my alts. This content is legitimately designed and balanced for absolutely no one, and will soon be engaged, by pretty much no one.
Good post. I would add that it's pretty much declaring creative bankruptcy for blizzard, after twenty years of making this game, to not have any idea on how to make content, particularly solo content, harder other than by making enemy numbers higher. Completely devoid of ideas...

No mention of the maps in delves is a bit of a miss - that's the big difference between 7s and 8s - access to Hero track gear from the maps.
Bruh every time I decide to play paladin they never get love. From s to d is crazy
Dear WoW: 6% increase for Shadow Priest is SO not enough.
I need more keys for delves lol
I hope Blizz remembers that delves are for us non-mythic players and hot fix it around our needs, gear and skills, not those of the 2%
Good luck with that. All they care about are the high end players. Having mythic raiders running around saying how easy it is, is only going to encourage them to make it even more challenging and lesser players be damned. They can't help themselves. Watching so many videos of people saying how easy delves are, but they always fail to mention what their own ilevel is.. It's all junk and not worth the effort. In 3 months or whenever season 2 comes along, it will all be worthless.
@@bobhope912 I unsubbed already, the 27th is as much as I am willing to give them to fix it.
Plenty of games around.
i wish i had as much faith as you
@@Shilian01 Are you really failing level 1 delves? I feel like the content has a wide skill level included. I think raid and dungeon content does too though. I don't think they really need to create anything weaker than level 1 delve, LFR, and normal dungeons. It should all be doable even for the most casual players. If you want to do higher tiers, just get better gear and play better. It's a good and simple formula.
@@bobhope912 That's legit not true man common ..
Blizzard give you everything to do, as true casual. Reality being that you guys seems like to want hight Ilvl gear for no reason.
Delves T8 are easy , the M0 and the NM was too imo. But it's fine ! Just don't rush and play lower delves since you want casual thing , why bothering with T8 delves if you won't need that hight Ilvl gear for content ?
You can do lower delves, dungeon (even with damn bot to help you out), HC dungeon , LFR , open world. All of this are for casual but somewhat they keep complaining about how "sweaty" other player are and how Blizzard don't give a fuck about them.
What do you want more ?
It's an mmo , people will be sweat lord. You can force us to slow down even more.
You guys got 3 weeks where we got NOTHING. Just to give you time to relax and have your time. Yet you complain again
Would be nice if they let 9+ delves drop higher tier crests. 1 bountiful 9+ delve gives 3 runed crests or maybe 1 at tier 9, 2 at 10 and 3 at 11. It'd give a solo improvement option and a reason to do 9+ delves.
I must be doing Delves wrong I hit one and they all come lol
as of tomorrow i'm gonna be busy earning Badges, i have put off collecting them this long and i dont want to miss the unique rewards from Timewalking that may be going away after this rotation.
TIMEWALKING!!
Regarding delves, Everyone is mad they cant AUTOMATICALLY run t8s for the best loot table. Just grind 5s and work towards 8s. Its so annoying seeing everyone cry about not being the best immediately because someone else is. I can clear 8s easy on my guardian druid, my lock struggles so I am just doing 6s until I can get to 8s. It's absurd how many people are mad there is actually some challenge in the game.
Your final take on delves checks out. "Plays a plate class that has immunity, 25 shields and can heal indefinitely"... What blizzard needs to do is tune these things appropriately for each class/spec if they want this to be successful. I think I'm giving up on them after a week of frustration and not being able to complete a 10.
Do you have 623 ilvl? If not, a 10 is not supposed to be remotely easy
You mean content that is SUPPOSED to be extremely challenging is.... functioning as intended?!?!? O_O Say it isn't so!! ..... :|
The icky truth is that you simply can't.
Like really, sit down and try to think of how to balance a delve around each and every specialization's toolkit and achieve a goal of taking X minutes to clear the delve at a certain item level. Every mob, every damage source and environmental mechanic retuned for all those different builds.
Then consider people making parties and all that balance gets thrown out the window.
In content that's spec agnostic there'll always be imbalances. We've already seen attempts at curbing it with tanks taking tremendous melee damage - and the fact of the matter is that the advantage of tanks isn't their mitigation, it's their ability to kite.
Void REAPER TRINKET OFF PRINCESS, is also one Hunters BIs trinket from raid, we just ignore the set bonus.
Soul, thanks for one of the first realistic takes on delves...I have seen enough of people complaining about them being too hard and/or easy. Delves are fun, but like the Mage Tower they play to different class strengths. Some delves are easier if you have debuffs or dispels others are easier if you're an undead and don't worry about things like breathing :) Ilvl helps, but adapting and running them differently is the best...and there's no timer, so just enjoy them...stop and use that Eye of Kilrog to ensure there's nothing on that side of the room for you to waste your air/light totem on (oh, and always set up the fight by dropping the totem before the fight so that running around doesn't use it up...if you do it right you can connect 2 totems to make a larger space). Do a bunch of non-bountiful 8s in a delve that fits your class/play style to front load your great vault...then just try things. I'm tired of people trying to make every last part of solo content a faceroll. Delves aren't mythic + dungeons...don't make them a race...if that's what you want, then do mythic + and let those who enjoy a more methodical game have our piece.
Every piece of gear I have is 606 except for my 567 weapon :’( tired of the rng
crafting can fix that
No luck with 610 drops? 😢
@@Ak3R0none at all
@@SoulSoBreezythanks
Brann has been doing less dmg
Gotta look at those mic recordings every time you start a new sentence. You're getting some high frequency peaks. Example around 2:48-2:51
You should not ever go a +7 bontiful delve, because of the 610 hero track items that can drop in +8 via Delvers Bounty
I disagree. If someone is struggling to do +8, they should absolutely do tier 7 delves for gear.
@@ThatOneGuy15270nah. Just group. They are just dungeons.
How many weeks has the xpac been live? 3? And this is the 11th one? How is it that people STILL cant grasp the concept that the first month or two of EVERY MAJOR UPDATE has some issues that need addressing because PTR and interal testing will NEVER compare to the millions of players and hunreds of thousands of different hardware configurations to test the content for bugs and balancing issues. Calling Delves a failure this early in the cycle is hilariously short-sighted and myopic. I've been thoroughly enjoying the new feature so far and i can hardly wait to see what more they do with it in the future.
I'm level 603 with delve gear. I canceled my sub.
Already bored.
@@Joe-ti7qd rofl, either 1) you're lying to try to appear "cool" and/or "edgy" or 2) your own worst enemy.
seriously, if you're just going to no-life grind only the gear content and skip the rest of the DOZENS UPON DOZENS of other things to do then that is your own fault. I have so much to do on my checklist, it'll take me weeks upon weeks to finish it all. Possibly even over a year. Maybe try branching out and experience the ENTIRE game for a change, rather than the smallest part of it.
Feel like nobodys going to touch delves once m+ becomes available
That's kind of the point, people who just want to do keys shouldn't feel forced to do delves or pvp or torghast, right?
@SoulSoBreezy we will be forced.
@@Joe-ti7qd i just want the achievements
I ain't touching delves till Blizzard are done messing around with it willy nilly without properly looking at what's wrong with it. The fact they had a massive bug in it for weeks that gave some players a super powered Brann but not others means they are not serious about this being an evergreen endgame pillar. Probably unsubbing till they get their shit together
In the meanwhile the rest of us are casually doing T8s, but sure.
K, bye
I'm at rank 5, failed on 6 on my first attempt. I'll try again this week. Despite the drama I am having fun playing Delves.
Sounds more like an excuse for you to whine. I’ve completed several level 8s and didn’t have the OP brann buff. I don’t know what you mean a massive bug for weeks considering delves were limited before last reset…
@@jmor106what's this excuse to whine you're talking about? Excuse? paying for the game and a monthly sub gives me the right to complain about a bad product delivered to me. I've also completed 8+ delves, you're not special. It doesn't mean it's fun to not have a clue about what kind of difficulty you should expect every time you log in because they're drastically changing many different aspects of the game mode back and forth every day without thinking anything through. Blind fanboyism is so tiresome
Delves are a complete and utter failure so far. Their current state is far worse than anything that Torghast ever was and I'm tired of people pretending otherwise. The tuning is all over the place and quite frankly laughably bad. You don't even have to be good at your job to realize that giving enemies more health and damage in solo content than duo/+ content is incorrect. This is a level of incompetence that I've legitimately never seen from the Dev team, which is really saying a lot. They clearly did not test the content. It's not a matter of gearing either; A tier 8 delve is supposed to be geared towards players with 600 item level and yet, frequently regular, non-elite trash mobs will routinely hit for 600k+ damage. I had a Kobold's fireball hit me for 1.1 million damage and then tick for 400k per tick with the dot. I could have twice my current health pool and it would still be ridiculous amount of damage for a single trash mob. This content isn't even hard, it's just tedious, and I'm tired of spending inordinate amount of time clearing delves because I have to wait for cooldowns in between most pulls. I can certainly guarantee that this content won't even be touched after the gearing portion of it is irrelevant. It's not even a viable alternative to gear my alts. This content is legitimately designed and balanced for absolutely no one, and will soon be engaged, by pretty much no one.
Good post. I would add that it's pretty much declaring creative bankruptcy for blizzard, after twenty years of making this game, to not have any idea on how to make content, particularly solo content, harder other than by making enemy numbers higher. Completely devoid of ideas...
Nerfing warriors means I unsub for awhile
Very dramatic
😂
Delves are boring really more like running Torgast over and over again
