The depths of WoW: The War Within came to the MMORPG to provide players with content that they can master well solo. How well Blizzard’s plan worked is now shown in a report from the community.
What exactly are the depths of WoW? They came with the current expansion The War Within to Azeroth. Behind the feature are instanced mini-dungeons that can be tackled either as a group or solo. You are accompanied by Super Dwarf Brann Bronzebeard, who can take on the role of damage dealer, healer, or tank.
With patch 11.1, Blizzard has placed even more focus on the depths and significantly improved the rewards obtainable there. That was absolutely right, as the report from flippingchicken on Reddit shows. The longtime WoW fan reports:
I play solo. For the first time, I have received Mythic level gear through the depths that belongs to the current content. I have never completed a heroic raid; I was always too afraid to tackle Mythic Plus. There has never been a time when my item level and gear were at this level. I love the depths.
One of the trailers for WoW – The War Within:
“One of the good changes for casuals”
How does the community react to the report? With more than 2,100 upvotes and more than 160 mostly positive comments:
- SirePuns also finds the status quo great (via Reddit): “Honestly, I like it this way too. If you want the absolute best stuff, then you visit high keys or mythic raids. But if all you care about is the look of the mythic gear, you can get it nice and slowly through the depths and then turn the gear into set pieces.”
- someoneelse2389 also finds this great (via Reddit): “This is one of the good changes for casuals. We get decent gear and the mythic transmog while hardcore players get their better gear and mythic raid rewards.”
- zangetsen celebrates on Reddit: “Congratulations, man! I’m really glad that the game finally offers a viable alternative to obtain reasonably competitive item level. Between depths […], time-walking chest and vault, players can make progress solo, and that’s a nice thing.”
How satisfied are you currently with the endgame of WoW and the opportunities to obtain new gear solo? Share it in the comments! The depths also have one advantage: they encourage players to try out another role: After 20 years, I’m playing healer in WoW for the first time – The depths are to blame
