Finally downed him on ??, and wow was that an awful fight. With how finicky the mechanics are, especially with the add spawns. It just made for a lot of wipes due to Brann standing in the middle of the room, and spawning adds in a split manner. With the latter being if you have the boss near the door or too close to the wall, it’ll split spawn them as well, and pretty much kill the attempt.
Glad I have it done, but good god never again, that was just frustrating over fun at the end due to the countless wipes I had with just random mechanics going wrong.
Right?! This is what I ran into a lot, I figured out the positioning eventually, but the Brann RNG factor is what killed a lot of runs for me. Along with the bombs not kicking even though I am standing on top of them repeatedly clicking.
Yup, stated as such yesterday, but people were of course stating otherwise.
People seem to have done it as low as 650 Ilvl, yet ultimately it honestly depends on your class and spec. Given any classes that can do a lot of passive cleave probably will have an easier time with it given the mechs don’t have much health, and you can punt a couple bombs in and cleave them down as needed. Followed by if you have a lot of movement abilities that helps too.
I would say probably 660 Ilvl is the sweet spot, its just like the mage tower where you pretty much have mostly an unlimited amount of time on it. Given it’s entirely about mechanic execution and dodging, just like how the mage tower was. The only soft enrage you get is when you lose control over killing the mechs before the next set spawns, or when the arena gets full of oil puddles due to how badly they slow you down and make you slide.
If you have a tank spec, it makes the fight way easier as the adds only need 2 bomb hits to blow up vs. 3 for DPS specs. I got him at 657 ilvl in Prot spec after about 20ish tries, after 60+ attempts in Fury which is my main spec and higher ilvl. The difference is night and day.
Your class mileage will very as well as how good you can manage the adds. I did the adds for about half the fight before I decided to burn him down at 662 ish ilvl
Brann was easily my biggest OPP in this damn fight. Constantly sabotaging my attempts by running off to pick flowers or play with himself or whatever tf that idiot was trying to do.
I’m utterly convinced he’s a void agent at this point.
