Zekvir as Sub

Classes Rogue
1

Has anybody done Zekvir ?? as Sub? I searched for any info about this but only find Assa and Outlaw.

My rogue is a pretty deep alt, so I’m certainly no expert, but the main issue seems to be simple agro. Brann keeps getting agro from me, and I think it’s because Shadow Dance basically drops threat. Without being able to keep Zek attacking me, I suspect this fight is impossible.

Anyhow, if you’ve done this, a few tips would be appreciated.

Tricks Brann. Have Shadow Dance for every egg. Play with Trickster not Deathstalker.

I will try as you suggest, but wouldn’t tricksing brann CAUSE the problem? I need zek to attack me, otherwise he’s just gonna fear brann out the room, follow him, and reset.

Brann did this quite a few times for me but i was still able to get good pulls in. Its just best if he keeps the threat as you really cant afford to eat melees. Will also help to post on your rogue.

Thanks for the response.

For some reason I can’t change characters, but it’s Fishstck on Staghelm. She leaves a lot to be desired… I probably don’t have any enchants, for example, but like I said, my issue is with aggro. I am able to kill eggs and survive fine, but I always lose zek’s attention which causes a wipe one way or another. Are you saying that managing zek’s agro and the consequences are key aspects of the fight for sub rogue? I’ve done this fight on a number of other chars, and losing agro is a big no-no. But maybe it’s different for rogue?

If you want to keep his attention, youll need to deal more damage to generate more threat than Brann. I preffered using Brann as the punching bag but if you’re able to progresss while tanking the melees yourself, then yeah. Just gotta deal more damage.

Sorry I didn’t mean to tell you how I should do it. I am actually looking for advice. What I’m saying is that whenever I lose agro, it causes chaos that either immediately or eventually leads to wipe. Do you have any advice for that?

Some specific scenarios are:

  1. The aforementioned zek fears Brann out of the room and resets
  2. Brann takes zek to the opposite side of the room from an egg. This either causes a giant claw smash, or a heal that’s really hard to interrupt. These aren’t instant wipes but cause enough chaos to cascade into a failed egg kill or something.
  3. Brann gets killed. This usually leads to me needing to vanish a spittle. If one of his pets happens to be present, that’s ok. If not, vanishing when he’s dead is an instant reset.

There’s probably more, but that’s all I can think of.
