Delves

  • Brann Bronzebeard
    • Developers’ notes: Over the first few days of Season 2, Brann’s Tank specialization has become the best choice for completing Delves by a lot. While we’re excited to support a true healing-focused playstyle in Delves for players who prefer that gameplay, we must address this situation where healer + Tank Brann was much too effective compared to every other combination of player role and Brann specialization. Our goal is for Brann’s specs to be roughly balanced against each other, and for the difficulty of Delves to offer a satisfying progression whatever a player’s preferred playstyle is.

Our goal for these changes is to decrease the maximum output, but increase the consistency of Subtlety’s burst windows. We would like to ensure that they are a threat even without all these modifiers present, but have their high-end output capabilities be more in line with damage expectations.
