Well now it’s neither LOL
Yep, I did it on my main bear at about 598 so I decided to try it on another tank… of course this is just the ? Version not the ?? But it’s an easy way to fill a great vault
So anyways jumped on a 580 geared Blood DK and managed it first even though a couple fears went off.

Are we talking about the ? easier version, if so then blood can do it at 580 which seems super low and easy to get even on alts
Having AMS, lichborne and icebound just allow you to absolutely ignore mechanics even if you can’t meet all the burst dps requirements and miss kicks
No we’re talking about hard mode.
Ah yeah that I’m avoiding for now, I’ll get to it later but right now grinding out Zekvir 8 times let’s me fill my vault for low gear alts
brann sure likes to stand in the cone and get smacked, get feared, then points at me
Im not finna sit here and argue with you or anyone for that matter. I can say Ive never tried it with Brann healing as him as DPS was always better til they gutted him. I will report back any progress. Still skeptical but hopeful.
For some classes, maybe that’s true.
Yea I mean the spittle is still dealing 1.4 mill damage to me, and you have to interrupt his heal. There’s not enough interrupts to advance in the fight.
Seems just like an artificial barrier rather than a difficulty. I could execute perfectly and it wouldn’t matter, because I simply do not have the tools to advance in the fight.
Doesn’t disengage remove snares? If so, you could use it to remove the spittle altogether.
Edit: I realize now you probably arent using a hunter

This was and remains the main problem with the fight. Nerfing the eggs took the difficulty away from the fight for the specs that could do it, and didn’t really help the ones that couldn’t without over gearing it.
It’s just so dumb because most specs can remove the spittle themselves, it seems almost moot to add it at that point.

Yeah he’s still not doable. I don’t care what anyone says. He hits me for 3.7 white and I can barely push him into P2. His hit box is terrible too as you have to nearly be inside him to kick.

I’m throwing in the towel, for now. Closest I got was 30% on my dps warrior alt. Getting the eggs down was more manageable, but it’s a 6-7 minute fight of flawless execution with a hefty sprinkling of RNG.
What really grinds me is that Brann is an anchor in Phase 2. He gets killed by everything, and I had attempts where I was having to rez him twice before I wiped. He constantly runs in melee, so he constantly gets feared. He takes massive HP chunks from the web grab cone and the ground swirlies attack, where he just keels over constantly. Which means spending precious seconds trying to get him up while being focused with attacks or having a cocoon up.
I can say that I have seen a Guardian druid finish the fight now, but it was heavily RNG based. They either got good procs on the cocoon or didn’t have enough dps to finish it before it hatched. The fight is still not scaled right for tanks, and I’m sticking to that.
Ty for the changes. This made it both doable and feel a lot better.
Maybe this will be of some use

If he’s meleeing you for 3.7 million, you’re probably running as tank, run as a dps and he does less damage.
Still impossible to do as Hpriest

Best I got as a Gdruid is 38.3%
Edit: 11%
Pure troll. Yes? That’s why we post on alts on alt accounts. So npbody can just check your achievements and wave the BS flag?
Curious. Seriously.
Because I have been tanking, dungeons, raids, since vanilla and i haven’t stood a chance against this bug. DPS is waaaaaay too low for the boss (i am able to kill the egg of i haul as straight to it).
Now. DPS alone wouldn’t be a huge issue if i could survive long enough to kill him. I have almost grown a beard soloing world bosses until my little damage friends show up. But this guy hits for ⅓ of my hp or better consistently and if i take 1 fear bomb it’s over. It’s possible but I’m gonna have a 10 minute or more fight that i have to execute perfectly and that is not really the bar i think they were wanting to set.
?? Bug yes, go ahead and make that one so insane that one the 1% can do it. But the normal boss should be more akin to normal raid difficulty. Not heroic mythic bonus luck maybe i won’t 1 shot you hard.

Should be higher than the 1%.
