Tier 8 Mycomancer cavern was playing dirty

so im on my last two keys for the week and this place goes bountiful and im what the hell why not…

the first boss at the entrance bodies me 3 times till i figuered out that i need him on land and not in the water.

the mushroom guys are nuts one at a time they are fine but if one wants to wonder over suddenly they are hard to kill. adding to the fact that brann keeps rando pulling then blame me for what happned when we respawn. with my last life i did a /rude emote to Brann as i left

thats my worst experience yet with him
oh in the other delve i did where you gotta jump over these lines or the ships will fore at you.

i was going to the last boss and dummy brann jump to a ledge and attacking some left over add trash that got me killed twice. i figured out to hug the walls so he doesnt do that anymore.

also also got some nice upgrades in my first 3 bountiful delves.

whats yalls experience been this week that made you go damn it Brann

all n all a neat learning experience

yea, we aren’t skipping anything with Brann.

also, the delvers disguise doesn’t work.
psure it actually aggros stuff instead cuz I was going to use it in my t11 mycomancer tonite at the end after I killed all the bad guys and only had a few trash between me and Alekk.

I put it on and waited at the top of the hill for a good chance to run past them on the edge of the cliff then when I got to the bottom everything from both ends of the hill bum rushed from the check point all the way to Alekk, like 20 mobs. Cuz Brann ran down the middle of the ramp blasting everything in sight with his shotgun.

Tendrils, both health pots , fear, bubble, fade came off CD so dumped back on Brann…he pulled most of it with his AoE “I’m goin all out!!” anyway so he can tank and heal it if he going to do that kind of stuff.

I survived, but it was a sketchy moment.

at this point I’ll just do full clears and not bother trying to skip anything again :slight_smile:

Tried a Nightfall T8 on my rogue and it was impossible. Between Bran pulling extra mobs, the concentrated packs of casters and those trip lines I couldn’t finish. Was able to do Mycomancer and Kriegval’s without much issue, it was just the way the Nightfall packs were arranged destroyed my rogue. Blew through an 11 on my pally and another T8 no problem on a 'lock with identical ilevel. :speak_no_evil::see_no_evil::hear_no_evil:

I also tried to do Tier 8 Mycomancer cavern yesterday at Ilvl 636 (balance, Brann on heal) and after one try with that guy at the entrance I decided to do it at Tier 7 instead cause I just needed one more delve to get 3 and that worked out fine since I had the food and Rune from the AH.

I can’t blame Brann for my 8 failure but there are times when he builds a fire that I think we should have the option to throw him in it.

I didn’t have any issues this week. Started Tuesday clearing the 11’s for the bonus crests then finished with 10’s for the extra crests in the nemesis chests. I ended up with 6 keys on my hunter and 8 on my dk.

I think I died once because I overpulled and didn’t pay attention.

The Underpin seemed like he would show up at the most inconvenient time. Usually fighting with the rare elites. Annoying, but he’s way easier than Zekvir so I just ignore him and focus on the rare until its dead.

Oh! Any that damn pylon curio is still bugged!

Anyway. That was my week.

welp switched brann from tank to healer and wow much easier time killing things also did a great job of keeping me alive

Honestly not too much? Brann has been pretty cooperative this week.

Only real annoying thing was in a Bountiful Abyss 11, where a shark, six Kobyss and a bunch of other sea creatures came out of nowhere to attack me.

Good thing I had Pacifist and it also didn’t feel like crashing my game. I was dead otherwise.

Healer Bann is the way.

I have noticed that regardless of how the fights were going before the disconnect, if I DC in a delve it’s an automatic death. Like, even if I DC and immediately reconnect and there’s only one trash mob that otherwise would not kill me even if I afk’ed and just let it hit me. When I DC, I am dead when I log in. Period.

Annnnnd there was your problem

Oh, that happens 99% of the time. Only once did it happen when all mobs are dead so there was nothing to kill me.

My current setup lacks an SSD, so logging back in is a bit of a process.

Tried ol Brann as tank today on my priest, what a hot mess. Switched him to healer and had zero problems after.

Not sure if it’s been said, but you can just jump over those lines in Nightfall Sanctum.

As for Brann, I’m starting to get accustomed to the stupid mistakes he makes (when I’m healing him in his Tank spec). He may be crazy, but he’s pretty consistent. He does the same stupid stuff in the same spots in the same delves pretty much every time.

so i got 1 key left and the following delves are bount
excavation 9
the sinkhole
skittering

whats my best choice for those three

Bran was less troublesome than normal as I was only playing 5 characters this week.

In hunter stealth. Healer Bran says no and pulls a group. He keeps running and pulling more and more. He kept doing it in several delves so I let him go as it was fun to aoe everything down.
Heal Bran also somehow managed to pull most of Sidestreet Sluice in an 11. Thankfully they tricked in slowly so I just had to kill. Made the rest of the delve very easy lol.

DPS Bran pulled agro from my disc priest and holy pally to reset several bosses. Guess he likes tanking? He also needs to check his dps rotation. 250k dps one pull. 2mill the next? Bran stop dropping all your CD’s on a minor pack.

Tank Bran kept getting me killed by suddenly moving and directing abilities my way. He likes to ignore extra mobs he usually pulls by running around, so I had to tank them myself. It was easier to switch him to DPS if I had to tank. He was very agreeable after that and I could just forget about him.

so i did excavation 9 tier 8 bount and had a good time even tho healer Brann pulled some smaller mobs but they were easy to deal with.

one of the loot pouches had a wave slicer thing that summons underpin while at a check point so i thought what the hell and tried to fight him and did ok but he goes nope and bodies me hard i died and he leaves. loot pile didnt have anything useful

got all the nemesis mobs and the chest was a dud bummer

bount chest had a helm item that was worse than i had

all in all a good week was had and im looking forward to the vault will offer mostly
or take the coins

excited for later today

got enough runed crests to make another enchanted version but i need a spark so later today will be the other half of it and i think i may upgrade my weapon or my chest :thinking:

High HP pointless damage sponge mob that is totally avoidable - he’ll pull it.

Annoying nemesis mobs in a tight spot while fighting the pointless damage sponge mob along with other random trash - he’ll pull them.
