I know there is many posts about Zekvir, but this fight is pure RNG.
I don’t have any issue with the fight until Zekvir decides to spawn the egg literary in top left or top right corner of the room. As SV hunter I know how to utilize my toolkit without mistakes, but still that RNG egg spawn, then zekvir not be able to decide where to do his cone ability just makes the fight annoying not difficult.
Granted a gave it like 10-15 tries overall and brought him to about 10-ish %, but just one bad RNG in between my CD’s and that’s it
Stop standing on the edges of the room. It has a max range from which it can cast from Zekvir’s position. The direction it goes is RNG, but if you’re getting them in the corners, it’s because you’ve positioned Zekvir too far away from the center of the room.
No RNG
Bait it. After the egg is spawned, stay on Zekvir (in an opposite direction from egg), and when he focuses it on you, get to the egg and DPS away.
the trick is to keep him in the middle of the room, also as hunter you can murder that egg in no time, and reach it quite easily, as both ranged/survival
I keep him always in the middle. 2 out of 3 spawns he will place them far away as much as possible. I have to eventually move towards the egg to get rid of it.
Just this attempt I keep him in mid he spawned the egg at the top of the stairs underneath the doors. If i bait the cone , i don’t have enough dps to kill the egg in time.
Just wanna say that I approve of the advice people have given in this topic. No one has defaulted to that insulting “skill issue” cheap shot. People actually displaying real social skills is a nice change of pace.
Without question. I want to use this opportunity to thank people who gave any advice .
I did him. Terrible fight. Egg placement RNG is terrible. I managed to get it because egg spawns where not bad. And even spell casts are not consistent. He used in this fight only 3 times his regenerating spell. But he was using non stop AOE fear. web cone, and smash.
But congrats! And I will go further, congrats on doing it in so few attempts. It’s taking on average 60-100 tries for most people. So you clearly had what it takes!
You’re 610. You should have ample amounts of DPS to hold off on the egg for 1-2 seconds. Are you unable to push out 450k dps in single target at 610?? That’s all that’s needed if you bait the cone and then go ham.
Save your CDs for the egg. If you’re using CDs on Zekvir, you’re doing it wrong.
I did Zekvir with my Affliction Warlock and Voidwalker and zero add-ons. I think it took me 12 attempts with the bulk of those being with lower lvl gear.
Gear ilvl 620, had Algari Mana Oil, Speed enchants, and Hearty Beledars bounty active.
Lvl 48 Brann was set to DPS with Light Touched idol and Amorphous Relic. Both Epic versions. (light touched to keep my voidwalker alive)
The main trick is to keep Zekvir dead center so you can avoid his cone attack. SOON as you see an egg DPS it down, interrupt his regen, get out of the way of his big attacks, rinse and repeat. Make sure you have Speed enchants, food buffs, pots etc. Not Dpsing down the eggs asap, and not keeping him center of the room are a recipe for failure.
All too often I’m caught out by something I had no control over, and I’m flattened. Being hit for 50% of my HP every 2s or so, having to stand still to DPS the egg while also dodging all the cones and floor AoEs and hope I can get to a heal from Bran before he dies (again) - this fight is pure BS.
Not pure RNG everything is timed, the only real RNG is where the egg spawns. Just stay on top of him the entire fight and you should be fine. That was my biggest hang up. You need to take those hits – it actually gets better in phase 2 because he hits you a lot less because he does more stuff but all of it is avoidable. Also, wear a murloc onesie when you kill him, for the added insult to his pride.
