I think opposite, gear should give you an opportunity to oneshot content.

then that ruins the challange. its to easy. its not fun.
its a good thing you must do mechanics instead of just sitting there mindlessly smashing buttons and winning. thats boring.
Or you change some talents around and increase your personal skill with BDK. Whichever one you think is easier
Yes. I think Priests have the hardest time(around 610ilvl), but still doable by every spec in the game. Mind you i think its tuned for about 623ish
Group play is another beast compared to solo. Other peoples mistakes affect you in those situations. Could play perfectly and still lose due to someone elses mistakes.
Theres a place for both in game
Havenāt put in serious attempts yet after doing the easy version, but the rng is the part that frustrates me. Brann takes away a lot of your agency over the fight, and once you have the pattern down it doesnāt feel good to have a random mechanic cancel a run IMO
I started working on m+ AFTER killing zek and getting all pvp rewards
So yes definitely not the same
Womp womp
Actually, I disagree a little on this point. Yes, I absolutely think melee would be brutal for this but Iām currently working on it and getting to about 30% now. Iām learning the flow of the last phase.
My weapon is my pet and I have to be very careful or it gets one shot and then dies with a timed cast to Rez. Imagine the feeling of a fight that Disarms you for several seconds.
I have to tank him after Brann dies the first time and 3 melee hits kill me if Iām too close and the room is small. If I stay further away, the cone can clip me and if Iām too close I get melee hits or clip the edge of the fear.
Itās not balanced for all the classes and probably canāt be. The room is a bit small and the camera angles can be wonky and I REALLY WANT TO BREAK THE STAIRS!!! It gives me a target not in line of sight if the egg is tucked into a corner.
Iām not the best but Iām making progress and will kill this jerk eventually
Gratz to the OP and to everyone that gets it done on lower levels. Clearly I like the abuse because I refuse to switch to my Pally or Spriest which are both over 610 right now. Itās the principle.
Good luck to everyone still working on it.

Have you considered running the right talents?
It was nerfed into the ground. They knocked the DPS check down by I believe 50%, and increased cast times across the board.
Its working as intended
0 nerfs needed its not meant to be faceroll easy
That sounds about right, run Brann as healer and use the potions he throws out to top off. They also give a huge hot on top of instant health

As a BM, i suggest face tanking him yourself. Thats how i did it on my BM. Took me 6 pulls at 606 ilvl as BM. Stack up on the potions when they drop (or between his casts when hes got a few seconds of meleeāing to do).
Stay in melee range the entire time (also makes getting the potions easier) to avoid the cone attacks. During the transition, keep attacking and pump a couple Barbed Shots into him to maintain threat over your pets so when his shield drops and you go to town with the Kill Commands so the pets dont grab aggro and die.

I am face tanking him but Iām struggling with the sweet spot of close enough to avoid come and not getting melee hits that kill me.
Itās a 5-6 minute fight of no mistakes and one little distraction and he punches my face.
Apparently I am very slow learning the flow of the fight but Iām getting there.
So hes going to smack you regardless. Some times you get unlucky and get a crit that knocks out 75% of your life in a single go, so double melee does ya in (3.8 million crits and 1.9m normal hits).
Take a few rounds just in phase one and find out which cast is his last one before going into his 5 seconds of melee.
This is what i did, so i knew when to be standing by the potions. Soon as you take your first melee hit, eat all 3 potions

Grats. And I agree. The RNG of that fight is very much relevant to how the fight pans out. Get on egg stuck under the stairsā¦.dead. Get an egg stuck really anywhere that turns in to line of sight.
Also the trolling aspect of having two casts with only one being vital to kick. Itās not a very fun fight and frankly Iāve only done it as original and not ??
Been working on mage tower challenges insteadā¦ā¦again because hey why not. Pretty blue on paladin.

I did not think of that. Thank you.

grats.
and with a 631 ilevel. I think it is heavily tuned against tanks, assuming you did it as VDH.
I had a similar experience with z? on my guardian druid.
I struggled mightily at 605. with my 600 ilevel BM hunter, ezpz.

Dont even bother really attacking (i mean get aggro so he focuses on you), but do the dance and take note of when you start taking melee damage.
Once you start to figure this out, it gets a lot easier.
Omg I love Mario, shame they havenāt pumped out a banger since SMB3. 
Same! Felt really good to finally down him, especially since I havenāt been really raiding or doing M+ this season, so taking him down was my main goal.
