I thought I would provide a little clarity as to how I have gone about clearing the Meta achievements for Damage, Healer, and Tank - Algari Delver Achievements.
(Complete every delve on 11 with lives remaining.)
My method is to use Tank Brann for the entirety of every delve. Many people I talk with think he is unbearable. Not worth the cheese references he exudes.
The real power with tank Brann are the two curios.
The Mechasaur Egg - (I will update later with exact name) - has unmatched dps. When the mechasaurs spawn they do massive aoe damage. Enough to out dps my 640 characters with full burst and lust on certain bosses.
The second Curio I take is the Mech suit - Pacific Rig.
This mech suit can spawn every few seconds - to once every few minutes.
I have had 3 back to back one time.
Another time I had a mech suit spawn on me, while my first ended. Never lapsing being in one.
The mech suit does roughly a 140degree frontal aoe fire attack that hits every target. It also does 4 rounds of missles attack before the suit exits you.
With the mech active you are invulnerable until you are ejected. Once activated, a green circle will appear under your feet. You have a few seconds before the mech picks you up.
You can pull every small-medium hp pack (on 11 delves)- and be guaranteed they all die if you kite properly.
If you are a healer or a tank. You can use these two curios to kill any boss as well. At times you can kill a delve final boss in under 20 seconds if both proc.
Other times its minutes+.
As a final remark.
Brann does die often. Learning to allow him to die as you are killing the last mob of the pack. Will reset Brann to full hp.
This has been a ConTalk.

you go tank, brann goes dps or
you go healer, brann goes tank
my 601 tank can clear 11s w/o any hassle.
but my main 660 warlock feels the pain.
it is in a broken state. And good bois are suggsting what we should do. Love y’all.
Why tank Brann specifically though, are those curios more effective with him as a tank or something?
I can’t see any reason you’d use tank Brann as a tank or even as a dps otherwise.
I appreciate the pointers. I tried Tank Brann at the start of the season, but he refuses to heal himself after pulls so I ended up going back to Healer Brann.
The 2 Curios are a big + though. Pacific Rig has taken out the Delve boss by itself for me. The Mechasaur I only found out about a few days ago. Either does zip, or just kills everything. Though, I do have Healer Brann, so maybe they do better with a Tank Brann. Maybe I’ll give Tank Brann another go after the multiple nerfs and buffs he’s gotten.
I have learned how to pull effectively enough that I can kill any pack, often times before or just as Brann dies.
Bran resets as soon as the pack is dead. If he needs 6 seconds to sit and eat for full hp. I wait.
When doing weekly 8 delves (x2) on each of my classes. I can solo 8s with tank Brann at 595 ilevel.
Use your interupts, stuns, cc to mitigate power attacks.

As more people use this combo I worry it will be the next to be nerfed.
They already stealth nerfed bioprinter it seems by quite a lot.
Hopefully they’ll leave them alone and just buff the other curios instead. I used this combo on most of my 11s on a number of characters this week.
No doubt due to the lack of healing your Class can give him.
Got to try this. Hope I can get a few delves done before Blizzard nerfs it.
