Today, we're delving into the refreshed world of delves in The War Within. Whether you're aiming to conquer these challenges solo or with a group, we have all the insights you need to secure that sought-after Tier 8 Hero Gear.
Delves: A Journey of Transformation
Delves have recently undergone major updates, with difficulty adjustments now making them more approachable for solo players. Initially, these challenges were too simple with a group and quite tough solo. However, with Blizzard's latest updates, including a reduction in health pools by 15-30% for solo play, things are looking brighter for lone adventurers.
Bran: Your Key Ally
Bran is vital to your success in delves. Following some bug fixes and improvements, Bran's healing capabilities have significantly enhanced. His potions can now heal over 3 million HP, covering half of a DPS player's health pool. By setting Bran to healer mode, you can manage unavoidable damage while focusing on dodging the rest.
Selecting the Right Curios
Choosing the right curios for Bran is crucial. The Amorphis Relic is highly recommended for its strength, while the Porcelain Arrowhead Idol boosts damage. If survival becomes an issue, consider the Unbreakable Iron Idol for added protection. Always keep your delve potions keybound for quick access during crucial moments.
Strategies for Success
Solo vs. Group Delving
With the recent changes, soloing delves has become a viable and exciting option, especially for those confident in their skills. While using a full group with a tank and healer is easier, it can be time-consuming. Solo delving offers a more streamlined experience, free from weak links that might impede your progress.
Efficient Progression
To efficiently level up Bran, focus on completing Bountiful Delves, which offer substantial XP. Remember, Bran is warband-wide, so leveling him up quickly can benefit all your characters. Increasing your item level will also enhance Bran's effectiveness.
Combat Tips
-
Utilize Delve Potions: These are crucial for survival, healing substantial amounts of HP with a manageable cooldown. Ensure they're easily accessible during your runs.
-
Adapt Your Talents: Change talents mid-delve to suit specific encounters, enhancing your versatility.
-
Crowd Control: Locking down mobs allows Bran to deal free damage, so utilizing stuns and roots is key.
-
Positioning: Stay near Bran’s potions and be mindful of his throws to avoid unnecessary deaths.
-
Pop Cooldowns: Use your cooldowns frequently to maintain efficiency and speed through challenges.
Confronting Zek'vir
Zek'vir, a formidable adversary, demands mastery of positioning and mechanics. His abilities, including fear circles and frontal smashes, test your foundational skills. By carefully managing interrupts and utilizing buffs from delves, you can turn the tide in this challenging encounter.
With these strategies and tips, you're well-equipped to tackle delves in The War Within, whether solo or in a group. From mastering Bran's abilities to optimizing your gear and talents, you'll be on your way to earning Tier 8 Hero Gear and defeating Zek'vir. Happy adventuring, and stay tuned for more guides and updates!
