Is there any hope of this? He currently hits me for 4.2-4.4m, and even popping all my CDs I can’t bring him below 90% before his regular melee attacks destroy me.
Any tips would be appreciated, as right now I’m out of ideas.
I know tanks take more damage in delves than DPS or healers, but I don’t know how gear could possibly fix this kind of damage intake.
it would help if you say what you are trying to fight
It says in the title.
How much more?
You are very geared but might be one of those situations where you need specific gear, talents and stats in the end. Like sockets all stam/versa gems. Stack some versa to reduce damage. Then getting ilvl up there for Armor,block and having Tier. Maybe even the Tank weapon enchant for the absorb shield instead of your current one.
It’s week 1. If at 620 ilvl and changing things around it looks hopeless then maybe it’s a tuning issue. Although then this begs the question what item level should he be able to be soloed.
Tanks take 3x the damage DPS do in solo.
That’s unfortunate and didn’t know that. Yea I only do Solo as Prot but haven’t pushed yet. I been focused on Prot PvP and other things. Which is where they take extra damage as well so maybe I’m used to it.
This is the name of an achievement not an encounter.
Zekvir solo is what the OP is trying to do.
They hotfixed the encounter last night and made it significantly harder, Brann no longer tanks for you and the boss will two to three hit most players as opposed to pre-hotfix where Brann would just take all the hits.
Yeah he is absolutely housing
They just gutted this enchant sadly and nerfed it by 60% so nvm.
I soloed him on my prot warrior before any delve changes on 9/12 so I’m not sure how possible it is anymore. I was 599 ilevel and I think Brann was level 29/30.
Some tips are:
I used Idol of the Final Will and Amorphous Relic. I only kicked the heal because we can Avatar out of the dot (since it’s considered a slow).
Phase 1 is the hardest and it’s mostly rng. You need your Avatar to line up with the eggs (I was mountain thane btw). You also want his final egg cast of P1 to line up with the transition so that you and Brann can focus the egg while Zekvir is immune.
If you can get him to Phase 2, and he uses his new P2 ability (it’s a purple circle, but isn’t the fear) it can be spell reflected for a lot of damage which basically guarantees a win. However, getting to P2 is the hard part.
You haven’t done him on ?? mode.
That’s where the achievement is from.
Spent 2 hours on this last night and almost threw my PC out the window.
Mostly what’s pising me off so much is once again, Spell Reflect and Spell Block NOT working as intended. There are times when we can’t be in melee range of the spider that casts the stupid web blast/stun – Spell Relfect or block should be preventing us from getting stunned here but …NOPE.
If you dont want to let us use our abilites effectively, then reduce the HP on the egg by 1/2 and reduce the amount of times Zek summons the eggs.
Yeah it would be one thing to be tuned around Spell Reflect (if you are a warrior), but I think they have actively changed things about it that make it incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes it would work, sometimes I would get “immune”, sometimes I would get “deflect”, and sometimes it would just stun me through the reflect while still consuming the buff.
