As mentioned in the video, it's difficult to determine what the best Day 1 Delve to spam will be, since you need to account for which delves are bountiful, and which variants are active. However, by looking at what delves are active today (in North America atleast, not sure if it's different for Europe), we can rule out certain possibilities for tomorrow. Here are the currently active Bountiful Delves and Delve Variants: Bountiful Delves Tak-Rethan Abyss Nightfall Sanctum Dread Pit Kriegval’s Rest Delve Variants Underkeep: Tortured Prisoners Tak-Rethan: Niffen Napping Spiral Weave: From the Weaver Nightfall Sanctum: Kyron’s Assault The Sinkhole: Raen’s Gambit Skittering Breach: Renilash Beckons Mycomancer Cavern: Scavenger Hunt Waterworks: Trust Issues Dread Pit: Smashing Skardyn Earthcrawl Mines: Precious Ores Fungal Folly: Spreading Decay Kriegval’s Rest: Swarming Kobolds By far the biggest takeaway from this is that Tak-Rethan Abyss CAN NOT BE BOUNTIFUL ON TUESDAY! Additionally, the current setup is Niffen Napping, which is the worst by far. This means we actually have a 50/50 chance at getting the BiS Tak-Rethan setup, which would be amazing. Dread Pit is another consistent option, and we know for sure that the Ringing Deeps Bountiful Delve will be Waterworks. Unfortunately the best Dread Pit variant is currently active, so it won't be available tomorrow, but the other options aren't much worse. Assuming the BiS Tak-Rethan setup isn't up, we could potentially use Skittering Breach as a backup, but it still has a chance to be the active Bountiful Delve. Finally, the worst Waterworks variant is up today, which means the version we get tomorrow while clearing it on +8 Bountiful should be pretty fast. Tomorrow I'll be streaming on Twitch after the servers go up, so if you want to figure out which available Delve is the fastest, you can take a peek at my stream to see which one I'm farming.

@@dantebzs I've spent the last few days testing this, and I believe it can only come from Bountiful Delves, HOWEVER it appears it can come from the normal chests in those delves in addition to the key chest. I'll be posting a second channel video tomorrow with additional info.
100% THIS. I don't need some massive intro, I don't need you to promote your podcast, I don't want to hear about your video sponsor, I don't need to hear your whole backstory in researching things, give me the info and let me skip to the parts I need/make it easy to refer back to parts.
This is my first video of yours I've seen, and I really appreciate the concise, clear, and well scripted presentation of information. That's an easy subscribe.
"In order to get that 603 gear it must be completed on tier 8 difficulty" here I was about to waste all my keys on the tier 4-7 delves right as the season launches. This is great.
Which wont matter after you run dungeon and raid this week at all. This is literally for people min/maxing the hell out of the game. Youre fine play the game how you like none of this matters
@@weirdafters4007 why do you care so much about what other people do if you're going to act like you're so against being told what to do? you're doing the same thing.
I have had no problem as long as I go slow! There is no timer so I take camp breaks with Brann when he says too! I explore every inch of them! I gather anything in them & also fish in it! These are adventure journeys for myself & Brann!
There is a 'soft' timer in many of the Delves, such as the candles ... or to the next fuel to power the hammer to hold off poison air ... or the need to have get to the next oxygen bubble, etc.
Great guide, explains many points I wasn't aware of. Although I suspect things have changed since this was created in the Beta. I have found that running Brann as a healer is very effective, if you're running solo.
I ran a bunch of delves on beta to test them out and still learned a lot. This is an excellent guide. One thing I'll add is that while healer Bran is suboptimal, he can still be nice in certain situations. He more or less takes care of pet classes and can insta-dispel nasty effects if they land on you. I'll try DPS Bran this week and see how it goes
@A_Lo_Pex I've been running healer bran on my ret pally. He basically fills in the gaps in my CDs. Completed 4 tier 8 bountiful delves (including fungal & waterworks) Though waterworks 8 was rough and nearly ran out of mana, lol
Thanks for addressing the whole "Brann is useless" stuff. Mine is not even 15 and when I run through Tak Rekhan by the time I reach the boss, Brann has already killed 90% of the enemies following me. Great video overall!
Yeah, I've def called him Brann Uselessbeard but that's mostly when he's just doing stupid stuff like running in circles and popping nerubian eggs while you're fighting mobs. Even when he is specced as a healer he's not completely useless. He'll still do decent damage (though nothing compared to when he's a DD) and his cleanse and purges can be clutch.
Great video. Great explanation, great pacing, no fluff content. Super solid stuff man keep it up I can see the effort that went into this. Earned a sub today
Appreciated. The context is entirely optional for players who do not directly understand the mechanics of how to get an achievement in WoW. Great video and thanks a lot for providing these hints.
1st time coming across your content and gotta say, Great video! I watched a few others today going over delves and M0, and this has been by far the easiest to follow and reference, as well as the most useful and informative of the videos I have seen. Thanks a ton!
I kind of hate that delves were meant to be a solo alternative to dungeons but the best way to run them is with a full group of 5 which just turns them into dungeons.
I've been watching a few delve videos. this one has the most actionable info by far and is probably the most concise and straightforward. Good job. I'm gonna go browse what else ya got.
I am really loving delves and I don't know if I'm awful at the game now. But I was struggling on tier 5 😭 It does depend on which delves I was in though. I do love this delve system though.
I reaaaally hope they continue developing these and it doesn't end up like fucking garrisons because Delves have wholeheartedly brought me back into grinding
Interesting, thanks for the video. I'm a warlock and had Brann on healing duty, which made tier 3 delves super easy, but also a bit boring and tedious. Will try him out as a DPS tomorrow.
My issue with delves at the moment, im a 584 ilvl Fury Warrior and without brann on healer i am dying 100% of the time, some of these mobs are hitting me for 1/3rd of my HP.
Oh High Lord do the Algorithm I thank thee on this day you presented me, for once, and I’m not complaining oh High and Mighty Algorithm blessed be thy power, with an actually great guide straight to the point. Subscribed.
The healer mode shouls really be throwing healing vials at the player and not the ground. Right now he's skills are crazy undeetuned but he will still be kinda useless even with right numbers without some kind of direct heal
Try him as dps... Was a game changer for me, he actually executes mobs and it comes in clutch, I soloed 3/4 t8 bountiful delves today as a 582 frost mage with brann as dps
I'd also add that if you're struggling on a delve, as I was on my rogue _who Blizzard nerfed to the ground on long term solo survivability_ , *you can invite players partway into a delve.* I had made it to the last boss and was getting stuck, so I brought a friend in.
Cheesing tier 8 today with Brann, range pulling single mobs as much as I can with Death's Caress blood DK, and letting Brann and the Trex kill everything. Earthcrawl mines was pretty easy and got a 603 helm.
Honestly im going to go through the delves at my own pace and enjoy it. Gonna have plenty of time to get there. I dont understand why people are ripping their hair out trying to get ilvl's up as fast as possible when there is a limit lmao
I think a lot of people like to get there asap because of life. I have a family and a full time job myself. Knowing how to get content done the fastest, or the best possible route to get to where I want to be iLvL wise etc helps with actually being able to relax more and not fall behind in the games content. With that being said I highly encourage people to play the game and take their time doing the content they see fit! We each pay for our own sub, use it how you wish!
Sheeesh. Thanks for the summary. Didn't even have to find the video since youtube read my mind. Only thing what worried me was the delves and what the fuck with to do with them tomorrow :D now it's all clear!
Delves are not intended to be pre raid gearing. It's supposed to be for casuals. For people who don't raid, don't do mythics but, geared with world content and no in depth experience of the mechanics of that delve, still can solo them carefully out of fun, with some rewards that will allow them an easier experience of world content. Grouping shouldn't be a pre requisite, nor choosing the right class, spec or being geared from high end content in order to solo them. It's like raiders doing pvp to get pre-raid gear: possible but not intended and making it difficult for pvper. Or pvper gearing in raids. Of course you can do the content, but don't ask it to conform to your needs... and when you use it to gear, it will be made harder and out of our solo and casual league, again. You zerg through it, we fish and mine in it in between 2 fights: different mindset!
Very nice video, straight to the point! Do you by any chance know if items at the end of the delve can be traded with your party members the same way dungeon gear can?
Just one thing regarding Brann as healer, not sure if he was fixed or what, but as a BM hunter i found him very usefull, the only bad thing is his heals dont target my pet, but i have noticed some weird aggro things in delves, and even though i am misdirecting to my pet, i still get initial aggro, sometimes those 2 or 3 hits from mobs get me low, and he always comes in cluth with the titan artifact thing, and potions are great for chip dmg from unavoidable sources, 582 ilvl and lvl 8 delves are "easy" as long as i keep mend pet on all my skills :)
Here’s a fun cheese. Give Brann Rage-Filled Idol, run healer spec. I know you said he dies faster, and the damage isn’t worth it, but I’ve had Brann stacked up to max on that idol, and just a lifebloom is enough to keep him alive. Also, I won’t die as resto either, so basically I just have a gunship that follows me around.
Okay so, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the max ilvl in season 1, is 636 or something around that number? What's even the point of the new "endgame content" delves if the max you can get from them is 603? Guessing you can upgrade those some more, but then again, those crests you need won't be dropping from delves I'm guessing, so what's the point of this "solo" content that only certain classes can solo anyway? I thought delves were a cool concept, but the more I hear about it the less I like it. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
Their gear is intentionally designed to be worse than other forms of content, yes. They're only really useful this week because other gearing methods are limited until Mythic Raid Week (Sep 17th).
While I do think Damage Brann is better, I think people don't realize you need to actually run over the potions Healer Brann drops. If you aren't doing that, then yes, Healer Brann is useless.
You can tell whoever had that Rank 14 renown for all factions was likely exploiting the renown bug. I’ve done all quests and side quests and it’s simply not possible to be at 14 yet without exploiting the method that got Method members suspended.
I'm rank 16 with all factions, you're incorrect. The bug only applied to Severed Threads, and those people used it to reach Renown 25. 14 last week and 16 this week is perfectly achievable with optimization.
The bit about NOT getting further Radiant Echoes unless you use the first cannot be accurate: I did NOT use my first, kept it in my bags (cause I read you might want to do the event when you're not alone, lest you kinda waste it...), and I looted a second Echo just now, there it is.
No they cannot. Or more accurately, if they are in your party you can't start a tier 8. You can only do tier levels that everyone in your party has reached.
Not sure if commented already, and curious if you or anyone else can confirm. Do your end of delve rewards get devalued per death? Or is it only once you’ve hit 5? The tooltip isn’t very clear.
How do you upgrade curios? All mine are still stuck at 1/4 except the one Zekvir dropped when he invaded my delve... which also hasnt tracked as collected on the achievement.
I tried to run Tak-Rethan solo on tiers 4-7 but could not complete it at 584 ilvl as resto, guardian, or balance druid without dying. I have no idea how you did it or what your ilvl was, but it's not possible for me. I have to die and let the mobs reset, then run back.
