Bran Is Trash Now!

Tried to heal bran in a 7 and he got slaughtered in the first pull. Monday had no issues through 9 WTF!!! If its not broke why fix it!

On the plus side, delves were great fun for a week.

Perhaps in 11.2 they will accidentally be fun for a week once again.

Because Blizzard wants us to cancel our subscriptions, or not renew them in my case. 7 days remain on my sub. Thinking it’s about time for FFXIV again.

6 days for me. Since I mainly delved and pvp’d, no reason to resub.

How are you healing him on your hunter?

Kinda where I’m at. Did the new raid, it was okay. M+ isn’t my scene, nor is PvP, so that really leaves delves, and if they’re going to strip them of fun, well, that’s not fun to me. Maybe next patch, if I think I can trust them to not do something similarly terrible then.

It wasn’t broke, it was enjoyable for healers and others that were using tank Brann and instead of keeping that enjoyment going they nerfed the only viable spec he had instead of buffing up the other two so now all three are trash and delves went from being a somewhat quick way of gearing to a 45-60 minute slog depending which one you are on and what tier level it is.

No they weren’t. They butchered the mechanics into irrelevancy and made mobs hit like a truck that are damage sponges to make up for their trivialized mechanics.

It’s boring and it sucks. I want mechanics and fun things. I don’t want tank-hitting damage sponges.

You were having fun. That’s what was broken. Are just more frustrated and miserable now? If so then problem resolved!

Dawntrail kinda sucked. But yeah you’re basically stuck between these two. T&L it’s far too grindy and unforgiving for my taste.

there was a percentage of healers tracking his buff that were using it to blow up 11s at very low ilevels. this obviously isnt blizzard’s intended playstyle. the nerfs did end up negatively impacting the other percentage of players who werent doing that though, and i do think that sucks

Yeah definitely feels that way. It felt damn good running up the tiers. Now it’s back to the same empty feeling of do I run Mythics and deal with other people toxicity or just fish for
weeks!

I have found that the only way for me to do +8 on my priest who is shadow main, is to have Bran tank, and I go disc. Then I have to pull very carefully. Small packs. And even then, without an interrupt, sometimes I just have to run and kite it out until he can rez. And because they made most mobs immune to mind control, I lose that DPS boost a lot.

I dont know if I have to run delves on my lock and hunter to level Bran, so he can actually tank things. The other problem, is while he will sometimes get out of frontals and what not, he will just stay in environmental damage.

I tried doing it on Holy, but I would have to pump healing into him, and doing DPS on top of healing him didnt work well as holy. As disc, I had to shield him on CD, Pain Suppression on the bigger elites, and if we got one or 2 extra mobs in a pull, it was a pop all CD’s angle.

Then on bosses, it was pretty easy. Just heal and DPS. It just feels bad that trash mops the floor with him. My hunter pet and lock pet are way more tanky than Bran.

The story was definitely not as good as some prior expansions, but at least when I tried them last, the raids were pretty fun, and I think they’re about to have a new tier as well, plus there’s a new alliance raid I haven’t tried, etc. Worst case scenario, I figure it gives WoW a chance to maybe become decent, or if not, then I move to my backlog of other games.

Yeah sorry my dude but FF14 isnt in any better state lmao all the content creator keep whining

and if it’s not in a good enough state, it’s not. Can’t be really in a WORSE state than WoW, though, so there’s that…
