Eh, I’ll agree to disagree with you here. I don’t think either one of us will budge on our respective stances.
I enjoy the more casual content I can get hero gear (and the crests to upgrade them).
Which to its credit is time gated pretty good.
This shouldnt be a thing.
Being low for S1 standards and having breathing room half way through S2s progression on week 2.
Nothing against you OP. This situation just shouldnt exist. Defeats the puropse of progression.
May as well take progression away and just make it a singular reward level

Its not. You can be fully decked out in Hero 6/6 by week 10
Not even HoF guilds are maxed out by week 10
Assuming you get perfect RNG.

Nope that would be week 7 perfect RNG
I just hope I have my full mythic appearances by week 10. That’d be amazing.
soo back to my 8s with my resto shaman… much better now. i can dps more.
i switched my loadout to the pacifist rig and the footbombs. it also helped, i can drop heal totem and healing rain when i see the green circle for the mech drop so brann doesnt get killed while i enjoy my 10 seconds of not dying.
i am up to 629 with a 57 ish brann now, and the not dying to ae and the 50+ level thing are also helping. i may start seeing if i can go to 11s this week.
So this is the issue, 603 is below the suggested ilvl for a T6, you should have problems doing it

We need the /spit emote back. Just for Brann.
He’s so useless he deserves it.
Lol, was there really a Blue Post that said Tank Brann was fun post-nerf?
I’m amazed.

Meanwhile, the truly dedicated can run Mythic Keys 7+ and get Hero Track gear in the first two weeks. You can call us lazy, you can whine about ‘muh hero gear’ all you want, and to a very certain point I can agree, but when YOU can get six or seven Hero Pieces within the first two weeks from the loot box at the end and I can’t, there is a clear bias here.

In today’s bountiful Kriegval’s Rest I had the bug where after exiting Pacifist Rig Brann turned into DPS Brann. Unfortunately this happened with a bunch of enemies still alive including an elite and I was forced to kite for 5 minutes as he does useless damage and stops using curios until he resets (and I was on a weak alt at 620 ilvl).
On the last boss I also had to do him twice as he despawned at 10 or so % hp because Brann died while I was in a rig which sometimes results in a boss reset. This has happened twice so far and seems similar to the bug from season 1 where a boss would sometimes despawn for priests while you were using a mind controlled elite.
Dang, The Hobgobbo Trio now a duo, band breakups happen too fast and it’s never the same.
But, I digress, two was difficult enough, that third one nearly killed me!

In the next 11 bountiful I did on the same character, Fungal Folly, I swapped pocket factory to Mechasaur (I had used pocket factory and pacifist rig in the first).
Pocket Factory continued to summon turrets in this new delve even though I had swapped to Mechasaurs. Mechasaur summons at least twice just stood by Brann and did nothing, maybe related to one of the other bugs. They did attack once though with no obvious reason as to why they attacked then and not at other times (I was actively attacking in all cases so they should have been assisting).
These changes are nowhere near enough. Please revert most, if not all the changes made earlier this week. Cannot complete a Tier 8 as healer with tank Brann - he dies to trash. Absolutely unacceptable changes and will continue to let my sub run out until more changes are made.

I decided to do an experiment in an 8 Fungal after finishing the 11.
I swapped to DPS Brann at the start and changed DPS Brann curios to pocket factory (which it was already on) and loot radar. Then I swapped back to Tank which was on Mechasaurs and Pacifist Rig.
Immediately Brann was casting loot radar even though I was on tank Brann. He also was casting pocket factory turrets right away. I didn’t get an egg or rig proc yet before the server lagged out and I got dced (I think unrelated since people in general chat were complaining about lag).
2 week span, 8 pieces of gear, no vault:
Delves: 2 hero pieces, 6 champ pieces
M+: 8 hero pieces
Raids: 8 mythic pieces
You notice how Delves are the only ones allowing you to punch above their gear track? Delves are the most rewarding when looking at whats rewarded for the content at hand. Thats not even taking difficulty into consideration
It should be:
Delves: champion
M+: Hero
Raids: Mythic
As an m+ player i was fine with mythic gear being behind the vault only. As an m+ player im fine from restrciting myself entirely from mythic track.
Edit: delves are also the only place to get guaranteed drops. I dont normally chase ilvl, but week 1-2 i was trying to get a second Hero piece (one mythic slot from vault), to convert to my 2 piece…i ran 25 dungeons and got 3 Hero item to drop. 1 wrist, 2 identical trinkets.
Had to burn a catalyst charge on a champion slot
It sure is he pretty much stands in everything

Okay, yeah, playing with it Blizzard really has to do something about him pulling things above and below. On top of that the enemy spawned by the Pinged Augment Chip pulls groups. SO If it spawns in a group not in combat, congrats that group is now in combat with you!
Bran in general is fine but what is someone suppose to do when 3 groups get pulled.
