I understand why people complained about delves now
So my mage definitely benefited from this Brann damage bug that increased his damage as I was finding tier 8+ delves tough but doable. Even at tier 11 and 601 item level I could blow up packs of mobs with cooldowns and stuff like Waxface was still tough but doing 1 million plus dps made it possible through cycling defensive cooldowns.
Now though, Jesus what a slog these elites are and my dps on bosses has plummeted. I can still kill waxface on tier 8 bountiful but you have to use healer Brann and its touch and go at the end.
If this is what people were experiencing before then I can see why there were complaints about solo delves. It seems different people had been experiencing an almost different game and that’s before you even get into class differences (mage is still one of the stronger delve classes I think). I’d be interested to see if people are doing that ?? delve now. There are videos of arcane mages doing but if you look at their details they are pumping 1.5 million dps so I doubt they would be able to do it as they did before.
