Zekvir ? ? Overtuned Sadism

what, the ugly purple color?
noep

I never claimed to be smart, nor did I claim something outrageous. Iā€™m saying itā€™s not sadistic, which is a ridiculous claim on your part. Focus on becoming a better player.

Should of done it as DPS, it would of been easier :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah I did it a while back, itā€™s just RNG bs, one of the least fun things I have done in the game to date.

Ya, its just more so the fact theres zero room for error, you might be able to recover from missing a egg dps check if you can cc it but if you get hit 1 time or the game decides to screw you over than its ggs

On the kill pull I recovered from 2 missed eggs kills and I string pull (shame on me).

I suppose being a tank helps in some ways but im honestly impressed you were able to do the dps checks, i feel like i can barely get the egg half the time as dps lol i always feel like im cutting it close

Dont try to avoid the Autos. Pop a mit if you need, but ideally, save the pots. Drink one, and when he starts auto, drink a 2nd. The pots heal more than his autos hit, and gives you a regen effect that allow you to survive that before his next cast.

If needed, grab 3rd pot before the heal over time fades, refresh the buff and may last longer than Brann potion CD.

The heal over time stacks do not seem.to be capped, but that really depends on Brann AI. I had 5 stacks of regen once, I felt immortal.

Congratulations on your kill!
Knew you could do it.

Thank you love <3

Congrats! Though with how many pulls you had with bad talent setups Iā€™m not sure how much Iā€™d throw around that 160 number. Half the challenge in fights like these is tailoring your kit to the fight. Before I settled on my final build I was tweaking talents every couple pulls or so, the fact that it took 60 pulls for you to figure out your build tells me you werenā€™t willing enough to examine them after wiping. Gotta get better at that post-wipe analysis.

But Iā€™m nit-picking. A kill is a kill and thatā€™s worthy of congratulations! They donā€™t hand out Zekvir ?? kills for free as you learned, so you truly did earn it.

You ever feel like the only kid in the class who didnā€™t get a Valentineā€™s day card? :cry: I was active in that thread too.

Yeah but it felt amazing when you got the kill, right?

Absolutely not,
felt disgusted, outraged, used.
It is atrocious sadism and mentally exhausting.

Zekvir?? needs determination stacks,
if you can do it in 6 pulls, fine,
let me do it in 1000 pulls with eggs oneshots.

Well then you probably should have quit way before 160 heh

Donā€™t get to rub the kill in anyoneā€™s face if you do that. Iā€™m glad she persevered.

I donā€™t think the challenge needs determination stacks though. Thereā€™s no progression in it, nothing to earn but bragging rights. Blizzard was never shy about the fact that this is a cruel challenge for people who want to tackle the hardest solo content. Determination stacks feel opposed to that design goal.

Yeah itā€™s been done as all healers except priest around 605. The fight has less hp and add hp for healers to make it doable at comparable ilvls.

Just need to hold deathmark for eggs and rotate your other offensives. If an egg does hatch you can also use grip to interrupt the cast to get a bit more leeway, as well as IBF the stun cast. This means on DK a hatch isnā€™t necessarily a wipe, though youā€™d ideally never be in that position.

The dps check on eggs is only 355k not counting brann debuffing it or helping out. You can absolutely do that average while the egg is up, even whilst doing a bit of dodging.

I just cant imagine that fight as heal.

Took me 60 tries in heal spec, but I was overgeared.

For Druid this was actually one of the areas my talents changed the most between my attempts. Basically every Skull Bash was reserved for his regen, but I could talent into things like Typhoon or Incap Roar to stop the bugs casts if they hatched. Problem was that my Druid class tree talents are insanely tight and realistically I didnā€™t have room for them after adding Ironfur for my Druid of the Claw shapeshifting strat against his autos.

I tried finding space for them a number of times but my final build didnā€™t include them under the same logic of just never being in the position where I needed them in the first place.

I think this is more a story about the Druid class talent tree rather than Zekvir but Iā€™ve ranted about that enough in other threads.

@Blizzard: Druid class tree rework when? I hate spending 4 points on talents Iā€™m never going to use just for pathing.
