Zekvir is just brutal

The triple boss fight at the end of nightfall sanctum makes zekvir? Look like a cakewalk

63

just soloed him with my lock. dodgex2, kill the add, interrupt the healing, remove the poison debuff.

64

I got my achieve done by asking a friend to carry me lol. He did the DPS, I just interrupted sometimes(I was on my resto shaman) and tried not to die.

65

Got him to 30-37% multiple times on ?? At 610 the last few days as Fury.

Essentially I find it falls down to 80% cognitive load (How long can you keep your attention from slipping - a literal death sentence and where I tend to fizzle out is about 6-7mins in).

Then 20% falls down to RNG. Some bad luck examples:

  • Egg spawning too far away
  • Brann not dispelling spittle (if Iā€™ve used bladestorm, both charges and avatar by accident itā€™s lights out)
  • Brann dumping pots in a bad spot OR Egg spawns one side and pots are in the opposite direction
  • Bad camera angle (Especially on that second phase fear, if I canā€™t see and Iā€™m guessing Iā€™m out of the way of the projectiles itā€™s gg)
  • Egg positioned in the middle of the 4 void gates (Hatred, SEETHING hatred is an understatement for this)

But really at i-level 610 youā€™ll always manage to kill the egg with or without CDs. But youā€™ll find itā€™s just the challenge of having a long attention span. I also have ADHD which is a huge disadvantage for long repetitive fights like this.

You can outrange the dot cast. Itā€™s about 30y I think? So you could leap away if your cleanses are down and brannā€™s is on cd.

You forgot the one for soloing him :joy:

Which are?

This is why I didnā€™t bother lol.

When I realized he gets a hidden buff if you have a taunt-capable pet out, my first attempt was like 73%, but then at 73% or so I was like ā€œThis is taking way too much of my brain and itā€™s going to most likely trigger a panic attack. This ainā€™t worth it for a mount skin.ā€

So I let him kill me, walked out, and didnā€™t look back. Lol.

There are a lot of dumb ground effects that are virtually invisible underneath ground clutter in these delves. Maybe if blizzard would speak to a therapist about their undying love for ground effects we could move on from that, but Iā€™m not holding my breath.

I did the ā€œ?ā€ version on my main with a 595. It was ā€œhardā€ but I won for the second try. However, for the ā€œ??ā€, I donā€™t even sure with my new ilv (609), I could win this fight.

What spec?

Iā€™d say doable then, between spell reflect letting you stand in the fear in P2, and having slayer charge to remove the DoT from the spittle you should be pretty fine.

I did NOT know that, thanks!

76

Wait, if spell reflection is up we can eat the fear without the debuff too?

77

Specifically on the phase 2 fear, yes. It used to reflect the damage too but now it just deflects.

except the ? isnt the one that gives the mount only ?? does, and you have to solo cant go with anyone

79

Itā€™s good to hug. You have to move less to avoid frontals. Just plan on a slow kill and take your time dodging frontals. Then as long as you can shake spittal youā€™re good. If you get in a rush trying to push damage you will fail.

My main point was a lot of classes have ways of dealing with that cast in particular without needing to worry about Bran interrupting. Or every gnome I guess lol
