Why Zekvir? Is Still Pain In The Ash?

Just a quick thing. Why is he still hard even if you are overgeared?

I failed on last Season becoz I was not able to gear much as I had hardware issues where my PC videocard blacks out on first few seconds on M+ and on Raid. I wasn’t able to gear up much. When I finally fixed it, the Season was ending. I didn’t have enough attempts to learn Zekvir?? fight. My closest was like 25% hp left. Then there Season ended.

On Season 2 Brann reset with no curios. I didnt make Zekvir?? attempts again until recently when I remember that I still have to kill him… just for fun. I thought I would faceroll him becoz I am overgeared. But he is still pain the ash and humbled me.

Anyway, I still killed him. Kill is a kill. Took me 6:15 to put him down. GG. It is still a fun challenge.

The ?? fights are more about mechanics than brute forcing.

They didn’t tune him up his attacks just still 1 shot, which is fine.

The fight has very few gear requirements. The only DPS check is the egg he spawns and if you’re doing mechanics correctly all of his damage is avoidable except the melees in P1.

If youre struggling with him in S2 you’re probably missing a mechanic.

Because he’s a skill check not a gear check.

I think the whole fight is a disadvantage to a Class/Spec that has a Long Cast time. Our Bread and Butter Aimed Shots have a long cast time. When we are focusing the Egg, our Aimed Shots are prone to be clipped when we have to move to dodge something and can also be clipped when we switch back fast to Zekvir to interrupt him from healing. It would be easier for those who have a lot of Burst attacks.

If he is still a challenge right now, there should still be a decent reward to beat him. Becoz right now, there is no more rewards.

He’s much much easier than he used to be given the DPS check on eggs went from tough to trivial to nonexistent and you can push him into P2 in approximately 40 seconds with current ilvl.

Can you please give me a sample video of you or someone facerolling it on Season 2?

My fight is faster now given that I have more gear but I still cant say it’s a faceroll. Far from faceroll. The Egg is still not trivial to me becoz there were few times, the egg still able to hatch. It took me 2:30 to get to phase 2 on Season 1. Now, it’s 1:30, not 40 seconds. And the whole fight is 6 min… 6 minutes of Zero or near Zero mistakes. That’s significant. Maybe for a Mythic Raid geared it could be 4min.

I wanna see a 4 min kill to see if it’s really looks like a faceroll.

Or maybe I just struggle with these long cast time Aimed Shots on this fight.

It’s not a DPS race…per se.
It’s a mechanics dance. They’re pretty much one shot abilities, so DPS doesn’t matter (he’s got like 200m health) if you can’t dodge.

You’d be having to do like 6-7 million DPS for like 45 seconds if you just wanted to bumrush him.

In that time though you’re still going to go through every single one of his mechanics plus 2 add phases.

I killed him easy on the 2nd attempt.

If the fight is lasting 6 mins I have to guess you’re not kicking his heal every time, because thats a long time.

If you’re certain theres zero mistakes then you need to practice your rotation a bit. In S1 I was killing him in like 4 mins in champion / hero gear.

That is an exaggeration. Most players on S1 completed phase 1 above 2 min. Phase 2 is longer than 2 min.

Looks like you are capable to do 4 min Zekvir?? kill on Season 2. Can I see such replay? Pls do it and post it. I wanna see Zekvir?? getting facerolled in Season 2.

its not.

This is my character in S1 at 5.4m HP, thats about 622-625 ilevel playing an AoE M+ build killing him in 4 mins. Its a pretty paltry sub 1m DPS attempt to do that too.

MM Hunter gameplay sucks. Our disengage is reserved for Dispels. We cant stay on Range like the Mage becoz the Cone attack cant be dodged as we reserve the disengage for dispel. It means we have to stay melee to be able to dodge the Cone attack. Meleeing with slow cast Aimed Shot sucks. We cant nuke like how the Mage nukes.

Our dispel should be separate from disengage. Im not sure if we have a pet for dispel. If we put out a Pet as MM, our DPS goes low. And Zekvir loves to one=shot pet.

MM hunter plays like we are disabled.

Zekvir fight is not balanced.

Why took you so long?. I killed it in 2nd week with 640 ilevel.

Just light the cigarette, don’t puff it. Let it sit. It’s the best way to preserve the ash.

Can’t throw in a Master’s Call?

Yeah with 500 attempts. My PC was bad on S1. I fixed my pc issue very late in the season. I only gained ilevel 636. I didn’t have enough attempts on Zekvir??. The season ended, i only got him to 25%.
