It would be fantastic if Brann could move out of bad stuff. Nothing like hearing him say " don’t sand there" while he actively stands there and dies. either have him aware of bad stuff and move, or give us an action button we can push to tell him where to go. The only way I’m able to solo delves past t8 is to taunt Branns target to get him to move which is only sometimes successful. How are other classes that don’t have taunt surviving this? I’m open to the idea that I just suck at the game. lol. But that’s the problem I’m running into. If there’s a solution I haven’t thought of please tell me.

As a healer, I encourage him to stand in bad so he actually takes some damage.

They should just rename Brann’s “tank” spec to “moron”.

I guess I could go in as heal spec, that’s my main spec anyway. But even then, when he keeps the mobs in the center of large death pools, I won’t be able to smack them since I’m mele and a large part of my healing is dps.

He does more damage when he’s doing his AOE gun attack when you heal him. Brann out dps’s me a lot of the time.
Last week I had him hitting for over 2.5m DPS, though this week is more like 1.5m DPS on AOE pulls.

LOL when does bran NOT stand in bad? >.> even as dps or heals… he STILL stands in bad. I had to save him TWICE in fungal folly when I had the unfortunate happenstance of being ambushed by the underpin for the first time. X.x.
He will be standing in bad, yelling at you to avoid the bad.

Yesterday he was determined to stand in the purple pools at the end of sidestreets t11, and tell me not to stand there. I kept him alive as long as I could with my crappy vivify, and when he died, he said “I know ye can do better than that”. I crashed out. My husband was CACKLING at me for how I was screaming at him. lol

He needs to stop taking damage from bad. I have 0 confidence in Blizzard to be able to give him reliable programming to avoid bad on his own, just stop letting him take damage from it. Or (preferably and) let him actually flippin’ heal himself.

Exactly he was standing in bad yesterday for me yelling at me to avoid it but I was not one taking damage.
I’d be satisfied with an action button that gives you the ability to tell him where to go. I enjoy him taking realistic damage. I just don’t like that he won’t move and I can’t reliably make him move either.
while we’re at it, can we get a button that tells off brann for pulling like a bm hunter?

LOL. yes!!! or at least let me duel him. I’d like to smack him around a bit. But knowing blizzard, the moment I click duel, he would become a freaking raid boss.
Did you think of NOT having Brann Tank?
Ive have always hated Brann taking agro especially for this very reason… Brann is an idiot with learning disabilities.
The last thing i wanted to see was “Tanking Brann”.
Keep him as heals or DPS, don’t let Brann tank in fire.

Works great for tank classes, plate wearers, or even DPS mains. But I’m a healer. I go dps spec for delves to survive, but I’m in no way proficient at DPS. I was happy to see tank brann so that I could maybe have a shot at doing solo content in my preferred spec for once. Found out quickly that it wasn’t going to work out that way. Also, I suck at the game so there’s that. lol.

No just rename Brann to moron, This isn’t really related to his tank spec, he has been a moron since S1.
I have this already in lifegrip. Want to know what he does when I pull him to me? He rambles right back over where I pulled him from. Lol
When he is playing right, if you watch him closely, when a mob goes to do a frontal high damage ability, he will maneuver to the rear of the mob. So the ability to avoid damage is there.
I think he gets confused with positioning and ends up just trying to find a quiet corner to go cry in and why he yells “get out of the way” so you don’t see him breaking down.
Brann is dead set on throwing his potions in any harmful substance he sees. I would at least hope he would have the mental acuity to avoid it himself.
Although, him dying immediately on my few Underpin ?? attempts does not instill me with confidence.
This is the best comment so far lmfao. had me cracking up! But yea, I do notice he moves for the frontals (sometimes). I’m mostly talking about the pools of bad, the flame breath stuff, or the other things that pop up randomly that he just stands in. If I taunt his target and successfully get aggro, he will follow the mob and usually get out of the bad stuff before pulling aggro back from me which helps when it works.
