Why does brann just not heal sometimes?

Like sometimes he’s fine and will throw potions, and some times he just won’t.

Why is this game so inconsistent?

I’ve had lots of bugged behavior in underwater delves with brann. He throws potions but they fade fairly quickly and his pathing is so wonky he pulls the entire room.

I haven’t had potion problems with Brann, yet, but I have had him put down his campfire some distance behind me when I’m carrying the candle or poison totem.

RNG mon.

Brann is the video game equivalent of my ADHD.

Just be happy he’s there at all.

I cant believe people cant figure out that the healing has a cooldown. There are actual people in this thread that think brann is just supposed to continuously keep you at 100%.

The playerbase is just sad at this point

I wish I could directly use Brann’s abilities because the AI is often inconsistent about using them, and I want his healing potions on cooldown because I want to keep the HoT going with 4 stacks.

Though the worst is the underwater delves where sometimes I only get 1-2 potions instead of the 3 I’m supposed to. I’m guessing they glitched through the floor or something.

well he was doing that in the first week

My favorite is when he puts the campfire directly in the arc of the spinning fire blasts.

Of course it has a cooldown.

Except when it doesnt, and he throws down healing reliably, and then randomly he just stops.

While I agree that it’s silly to expect him to constantly top you off the game doesn’t do a good job at explaining the cooldowns of his abilities.

We just only know what they can do.

for the same reason why he takes all the aggro as heal and starts to run away and aggro everything…

poorly made AI.

Having the outcome of an encounter depend upon how useful the AI is being feels terrible.

I just straight up told him, no more wee breaks if he doesn’t heal me.

I’ve had no issues since.

Seriously.

The mechanics aren’t hard.

It’s the RNG that makes it hard.

I’m having the exact same issues. Sometimes he won’t throw anything. Same fight. I lost twice because of this. No potions on the ground… No healing even though he’s set as a healer. Saturday December 7th 10:45 eastern time.

I just use him as dps and let him tank.

He doesn’t want to get booted for doing poorly in the dps charts and gets a little carried away.

I think it may be programmed to make you sweat a bit, because he only seems to do it at the worst possible times.
Like how cars in GTA drop 50IQ points if you’re in a mission

Well my Brantastic is working fine.
Throws heals on his scheduled randomness.
I trick myself into thinking I can give him hints:
If I run in a tight circle he will obviously see I need a heal and toss one.
If I use a small heal or pet heal he will obviously see I need a heal and toss one.
If I stare at him harder, harder he will obviously see OOOOHHHsh@#, pops pot runslos’inBRANNNNN.
“Oh it can’t end like thisssss”

I luv you just the way you are buddy.
You are fine.
:wink:

*No I don’t want perfect AI, that would be boring. Life is all the errors and random events.
