Not really, even at my ilvl killing mobs wasn’t so terrible in a T8, especially as Archon Holy Priest.

I didn’t think that was allowed.

Brann’s damage scales based on healing received and the mobs’ HP decreases when you are a healer. It’s only slightly slower than DPS.

I’m feeling very silly. I set him to tank, but all of his abilities are greyed out? He runs around shooting things but doesn’t hold aggro or use abilities. I can’t get him back into heal mode, either. He’s broken for me. Is there a quest to do first?

Tank Brann has more utility than actual tanks and its tilting.

Wait you’re joking right…? :sweat_smile:

More utility than war and brewmaster.

Look at the notes. I’ve highlighted some of the more important ones:

BRANN BRONZEBEARD

  • Brann now specializes in an additional role: Tank
    • Developers’ notes: We’re aiming to make healing a more viable and engaging option for soloing Delves.
    • Brann relies on his allies, scavenged advanced technology, and his trusty shotgun to charge into the front lines.
    • Abilities
      • Pistol Shot – Brann pulls out his pistol and quickly shoots his enemy.
      • Shield Bash – Brann bashes enemies in front with a shield.
      • Boomstick Blitz – Brann uses his shotgun to blast his enemies.
    • Talents
      • Veteran of Ironforge – Brann wields a pistol, and a shield that wears in battle, providing damage reduction per stack. As the shields gets damaged, Brann’s survival instincts kick in, increasing his damage dealt, and when the shield gets worn-out, he switches to his trusty shotgun.
        Bronzebeard’s Brown Bear – Brann summons the family bear, which charges into battle, launching enemies up into the air. The bear then prepares for a series of massive stomps, dealing damage, forming an area that increases dodge chance, and increasing maximum health.**
      • Electro-Charged Gadgets – Brann’s equipment is enhanced with cutting-edge tech upgrades.
        • Electro-Charged Shield – Effective healing done to Brann pulsates as Nature damage to nearby enemies.
        • Electro-Charged Pistol – Each shot discharges and electrical current, arcing through nearby enemies and reducing their attack speed. Healing Brann super-charges his pistol to deal more damage.
        • Electro-Charged Shotgun – Each enemy hit has a chance to be knocked down. Healing Brann super-charges his shotgun to deal more damage.
      • Neat Rope Trick – When an enemy attacks a player, Brann throws his trusty lasso, pulling the enemy back to him. The same enemy cannot be lassoed more than once within 10 seconds.
      • Sentry Totem – Brann deploys an electrifying totem, nullifying up to 3 harmful spells and boosting combat capabilities of allies within the area.
      • Grand Brann Slam – Brann leaps into battle with concussive force, dealing damage and taunting enemies nearby.
      • Lightning Link – Brann generates an electro link that transfers damage done to nearby allies to himself.
      • Explorer’s Survival Journal (Paragon Ability) – Brann’s combat mastery grants him increased maximum health and healing received.

I did a delve, T8 fungal, with Brann set as tank to try it out , he did nothing.

I asked in delve chat and got mixed replies of “yea borke for me also” and “no problems for me”.

Mine mostly just put down campfires and died alot.

I did a t11 fungal a few hours ago and he tanked like a champ. I wonder what the pattern is. He seems fine for some people and nonfunctional for others.

14

Maybe I’ll actually try them on healers, now. I never know if I have the correct loadout for group content, since rarely do queues. I know, weird to run a support class solo, but here we are. lol

15

yea, it’s almost like different players are getting different versions of delve related things.

I really don’t know what’s going on with all this

Felt like I had a different version of the Zek fights in S1 cuz the videos I watched didn’t have the same things going on that I did.

Now in S2 some of us have our Brann non-functional.

I’m gonna just not play for a couple days while the dust settles from patch day.

My family has a alot going on rn anyway. We are moving 600miles away to a new state soon so yea, lots going on for us.

Eh, I wouldn’t say so. One of the important aspects of an RPG is allowing players to tackle challenges through their preferred playstyle, if it doesn’t allow that then the RPG experience is a failure.

Nothing wrong with wanting to heal a bot for delves, even in some SP RPG games, healer playstyle is a thing.

Not really, I did the new delve in Undermine on an 11 and it went fairly quick. Brann hits like a truck when you’re pumping heals into him

18

Yeah Tank bran is actually more useless for me.

I just put him dps MW is tanky enough
