I can’t get past 75%.
It is always either:
-
Brann refuses to dispel the next spittle after my teleport circle is on CD
-
As soon as I spell lock his heal either his Cone AOE, or Fear AOE are immediately cast and I’m dead center of it with no chance to escape
-
Can’t run fast enough or put burning rush out fast enough cause GCD for toggling it make it a 3 second ability to turn on and off real quick
-
Some random RNG that makes his fear or cone aoe still hit me even when I am standing outside of it.
What is the secret? Having someone else help you and right before killing him disbanding the party so he dies while you are solo and hope it still counts for the achievement?
As counter-intuitive as it feels, you’ve got to get closer than normal to him to counter his cone.
Yes, it sucks!
I haven’t done this fight, but I was thinking about it and I found this guy on YouTube who seems to know what he’s doing. Maybe it will be helpful to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caNJOISNUuI
I only kicked the DoT in p1 and ignored the heal, but in p2 I kicked the heal since it gets stronger. Save Shadowburn charges for movement and sniping the cocoon add. Think when I did it a few months ago I went in blind and it took me 3 or 4 tries. It wasn’t too bad.
Stay close, but not too close. Just on the border of melee range is perfect. Have Burning Rush ready just in case. When he spittles, wait a couple of seconds to see if Brann dispels, then teleport, to minimise the chance he dispels just before teleport and wastes both your cooldowns. Keep your defensives ready for an emergency, and try to keep a soulshard available for an emergency soulburn healthstone. Use cooldowns more on the eggs than on him, the eggs are the real threat.
Above all else, don’t give up. Keep pressing. It’s HIGHLY RNG, and sometimes you just get screwed for no fault of your own. Just keep going, keep improving your technique, and pray you get the god run where everything lines up perfectly for you
Also, it might seem self-explanatory, but use consumables, including drums.

Killed him when I was 620.
The trick is the same as always, keep practicing. Rng will favor you, and you will get it.

Curse if tongues affects him, and it makes everything noticeably easier to dodge

My big takeaway from your post is that you sound like you’re teleporting the first debuff off. Brann will get the odd casts, including the first. There may be a few times where he is late or your circle teleport is a few seconds off and you will take a couple ticks, but mortal coil is a free 20% heal to get through those spots, along with demonic healthstone.
Play in melee, port the spittle, kick the heals, burn the add

Die… go again until you get it right
Felhunter + grimore of sacrifice. Improved curses + curse of tongues = Make sure improved tongues is on Zekvir every 1m. It will always be off CD after it falls off.
Brann in healer + crit arrow ability + ability that had a cance to give you 20% extra haste and shrinks you to move faster + always use the heal potions he throws out.
Use consumables and make sure to eat food + have Branns campfire buff, which is a free 5% free int increase.
Get a weak aura to show you the seconds left on each healing potion he throws out. Staggering them to get the most out of their timers is the best.
Use main dps cooldowns on egg he throws out. Getting him down is just wittling down his health bar over a long period, you dont need to tunnel him.
Brann as healer will usually get the first spittle put on you. The next spittle you can interupt yourself. The third spittle after that can be removed by either being diabolist and gateway teleporting since it counts as a snare, or using a soul gem to empower your gateway and have it removed as well.
It’s a rough fight, but I managed to get him down in over 40 pulls.
B bu but curses are useless! Level 60 nob lock forums alts said so!!
