While Delves can technically be completed solo, the truth is they are designed to be infinitely easier when tackled as a group. With some of the best loot in the game on the line, many players have been eagerly working to climb the Delve ranks. However, the reality is that solo Delves present a far more daunting challenge compared to the group experience.
The primary reasons why Delves are so much smoother with a party come down to the fundamental mechanics and scaling of the content. Let's dive into the key advantages of group Delves:
Health and Damage Scaling: In a solo Delve, the mob health scales up significantly, making each encounter a grueling endurance test. But in a group, that health increase is much more modest - less than double the solo health. Meanwhile, your group's combined damage output scales up exponentially, easily overpowering the monsters.
The Healing Factor: Going it alone, you're at the mercy of Brann's unreliable healing. But with a dedicated healer in your party, you can mitigate the punishing damage that solo players face from unavoidable attacks.
Death Counter Clemency: The death mechanic is far more forgiving in a group. Rather than automatically using up a life upon each death, your party can simply resurrect you after combat without penalty.
Mob Resets Eliminated: When you wipe solo, the mobs reset and fully heal. But in a group, the encounter persists, allowing you to pick up where you left off.
Coordinated Interrupts: Certain boss abilities require multiple interrupts - something Brann struggles with solo. A coordinated group can ensure those crucial casts get shut down.
Spreading the Aggro: With more bodies to draw enemy attention, the incoming damage is distributed rather than focused on a single player. This smooths out the difficulty curve.
In short, Delves are simply more accessible, efficient, and enjoyable when tackled as a team. While solo Delves are certainly possible for skilled players, the group experience is where this content truly shines.
So gather your friends, form up a party, and conquer those Delves together! The rewards and sense of triumph will be all the sweeter.
