Brann Bugfix and Buff — September 15

Well, I tried Zekvir (?) with the NU BRANN while playing arcane mage.

This is 100% unsubscribe material. Literally impossible, and absolutely infuriating.

I’ve got some very special words for you, Blizzard, but I’ll keep them in my head to avoid losing my battle.net account. After all, I might want to play Diablo 2 again some day.

I just hit my warrior to 80 and did a t7, usually interupt a cast of bolt, reflect the curse so its put on the boss (spell reflect doesnt work on shackles) and use a potion from brann on the shackles and repeat.

Very much so.
Their entire dev process and behavior on Live is appalling. What’s going on with delves right now is a massive red flag for things to come from this team going forward in terms of Gameplay mechanics/content.

? Drastic changes have always happened.

It’s what happens when Blizzard tunes stuff easier and tries to walk this fineline between compelling gameplay and cakewalk.

That’s my experience, and as that happens, Brann, often enough, then goes about pulling the entire room, something that’s happened several times to me in Earthcrawl, and I end up, back against a wall, with half a dozen mobs to burn down.

Are you like trying to skip every mob and rush towards the end?

Brann rarely pulls things for me.

Mythic raiding should be their dead last priority. The vast majority of players do not even do mythic raids. The idea that they would be spending any amount of time on that content while huge chunks of the game are broken is quite insane.

you forgot to point out

  1. Brann always dead on floor and does NOT swap to eggs
  2. eggs health went from “I can kill this with cooldowns” to “I used all my cooldowns and its still not dead???”
  3. due to egg health the +8 Zekvir that is listed as “yay you did all +8 delves” is no longer killable by players who have completed +8 delves
  4. I heard a rumor that if you make Zekvir frontal the eggs, the eggs should die. This is NOT happening.

There’s a difference between the game being broken and someone not being good enough.

? Difficulty has been done by people under 600.

It’s what happens when Blizzard doesn’t understand that other types of gameplay exist that can add or remove difficulty that aren’t just “turn the damage up”.

The fights aren’t complex. They aren’t well-designed raid bosses with multiple phases. The learning curve is a speedbump. They’re normal-mode dungeon bosses at best, except with higher damage profiles.

Just because WoW only ever adds damage and mob hp to increase difficulty doesn’t mean it’s all that exists; it just means it’s all that exists in WoW.

Do you want an award or something for making such an obvious statement?

We have people standing in frontals, blaming Blizzard.

Like the only thing “impossible” is Zekvir ??

and people are complaining about +8 or lower sometimes.

You haven’t cleared any delves at all. You understand that achievements are account wide right?

Well, they’ll make them, but they won’t announce them.

The only way you’ll hear about raid hotfixes when they happen is from the groups on the receiving end of them.

Or maybe some Blizzard middle management person will comment on Xitter.

They’ll claim to be on an alternate account.

I’ve done it, it’s easy for warrior, but I can still see other classes and specs have a much less enjoyable experience.

you’re not reading what I’m saying.

the changes altered the health of the eggs and changed Brann. Sure people have killed it below 600 and I’m sure it was on the “easy” day where people are claiming to have left Brann to dps it alone.

I’m saying between getting him down to 12% with killing eggs.

To changes happening.

Now eggs are unkillable.

That is a dumb change. and needs to be fixed.

Forums not syncing with game, not inclined to care.

below 600, post changes on ?

Yes, it is harder, but still possible.

Why must the undertuned version persist?

Lmao, then no one should be inclined to care about your opinion on this and you should stop posting in this thread.
