Delves Are Overpowered in 11.2
The Delve upgrades from 11.1.7 transformed Delves made them really fast content which is great, since it's a source of competitive trinkets. If you got the full upgrades, you can clear delves extremely efficiently.
Champion Track Trinkets Are Broken
Delve trinkets on Champion track are more powerful than most Mythic+ trinkets and quite a few contested raid trinkets. Almost everyone will benefit from running Delves - even hardcore raiders.
Filling your Delve vault also makes perfect sense for efficiency. You're getting two birds with one stone: immediate trinket farming plus vault options.
Why Delve trinkets are overtuned: They benefit heavily from the compounding item level effect, while many returning dungeon trinkets have suffered in reverse from lower base item levels. Trinkets that return every tier and that are already strong. Will continue getting stronger and stronger relatively.
The Math Works Out
Here's a real example: my Hunter has access to 28 pieces of loot from Delves, with 3 genuinely overpowered trinkets in that pool. Those aren't bad odds at all, I can clear the delves in less then 10 minutes and you can do it a lot of times per week.
The key is that these trinkets scale exponentially with item level upgrades, making even "okay" Delve trinkets competitive after full upgrades.
What You Should Do
Sim your trinkets. If there are OP trinkets for your spec in Delves, farm them. The time investment is minimal compared to the power gain, especially if you already have the 11.1.7 upgrades.
Don't overthink it - if you can clear Delves quickly and there are strong trinkets available, it's probably worth your time.
- Delve trinkets are more powerful than most M+ trinkets and many raid trinkets
- Champion track it doesn't matter it's a normal track, since you probably won't waste Mythic Crests on them for a long while.
