Zekvir ? ? Overtuned Sadism

He was nerfed so ? is pretty faceroll, ?? on the other hand requires some awareness.

Is it easy now? I like easy.

Zek’vir comes with two difficulties already, and it’s a very small part of the game.

The dps check has been nerfed several times, so it’s just long, but it shouldn’t be threatening for a warlock.

And there’s a heal to interrupt rather than interrupts not really mattering.

If it’s easy I’m down. I like easy. I tried it a month or two ago and it was not very fun. Maybe its better now.

Wouldn’t say it’s easy.

For me, content needs to have failure conditions to be fun. Else, I might as well just watch it on youtube.

I did play Mir4 for a bit, and it was an MMO with autoplay enabled…

I mean if you go in there expecting to not know how to manage CDs or spittle you’re gonna struggle… at least in ??.

I just downed him again on my Colossus Arms Warrior in a few attempts recently. Dunno what Prot has to deal with Spittle but there’s some planning invovled.

I run arms when doing that stuff. I usually play with my wife. She was playing Fury at that time. But this was a while ago. maybe back in Sept or Oct. I forget exactly.

Honestly you don’t need much cd management… issue is people try to burst is down when its just a gear check to see if you can survive white attacks, and kill cocoon.

I’m convinced Zek’vir is harder in group vs solo.

Egg gets beefier per player so yeah, everyone can kick the heal but the egg DPS check is rough.

Think it scaled more than 1x per player.

Assumed the scaling is pretty bad at 2. Seems like 3 is fairly easy when I run delves, and four was kind of face roll, I don’t usually do solo, but the couple times I tried it was simple, just boring ( I like playing with the wifey). Two’s feel tricky but we clear 8’s fairly simply. Lately we just leveled shammys instead.

The fight’s not impossible by any means, it just sucks there are certain things outside of your control. Fighting that kind of RNG isn’t fun. The rest of the fight is alright.

I didn’t like it last I tried. But as I said that was a while ago. Maybe it’s better. I’ll give it a shot this weekend, maybe.

Honestly, after clearing it twice I’m having a hard time understanding the RNG thing.

Holy and Disc I can get because of Brann but clearing it on both Mage and Warrior, RNG was hardly a factor for me.

You probably won’t still. It’s an intense fight with a lot of in-the-moment decisions.

If you can self-sustain well enough you can beat the insta-gib RNG. If not, Zekvir will just randomly three-shot you from melees alone. That’s RNG.

Not nuking the egg fast enough is RNG too. Sometimes your DPS just isn’t thralls-to-the-walls. It happens.

RNG isn’t ā€œthis fight is hard, boo mechanics.ā€ It’s ā€œI really didn’t have control of that did I?ā€

I mean, I did have control lol.

On my Arms Warrior I never got 3 shotted, I died from not paying attention to stuff like his AoE fear that spawns out projectiles in P2.

I NEVER struggled nuking down the eggs as Arms, Sweeping Strikes and CS made sure of that. DPS was never an issue for me at all.

So I’m not understanding any of this. :woman_shrugging:

With Brann healing, it’s not really about self sustain too much, mainly just not getting one-shot by the avoidables.

Plate armor. Even then it’s still a possibility. RNG doesn’t mean it’s never in your favor. It just means it can randomly happen.

I would presume consistent burst from a consistent burst class. I’ve only failed to kill the egg once or twice myself on my Windwalker. It’s still RNG. Sometimes you just get unlucky.

Brann is not a consistent healer by any means.

The potions come out at consistent intervals, last a set duration, and provide&reset duration on a stacking hot. If you rotate those well, it’s very consistent even without needing defensives.
