You can let the first cast of Enfeebling Spittle go off and Brann will instant dispel it.
You can Silence the first Regenerating Carapace spell.
Brann does not dispel the 2nd Enfeebling Spittle, and my silence is still on CD.
If I some how surivive this dot, I still can’t Silence the 2nd Regenerating Carapace, because Silence is still on CD, and he heals up.
This fight really needs to check what Class you are, and what Spec you are because right now, the ONLY way I can see a Shadow Priest killing this dude, is if you have BIS gear.
I can’t speak on the other classes but I am sure they have other or similar issues regarding this, so please adjust this.
it quite literally is impossible to solo, I’ve tried for many hours straight and even just hopped on again after the patch to try, Brann refuses to take threat once in the whole fight, our dots don’t tick fast enough to destroy the eggs before they hatch, and our awful kick has a million year cooldown, funny how the expac about VOID completely forgot about the class that uses it
Enfeebling spittle is a slow, so you can phantasm it with fade. Only kick the heal (Take the 15s silence cdr talent to make sure you have it for each one).
? Zekvir is more than fine to do as SP.
?? Will be fine when we can beat the dps check on the webs.
Before they changed brann to take reduced damage I got him to 18% on ?? after they nerfed brann by managing to have brann dead enough that I could MC the spiders and fade them onto zekvir so he’d kill them. 18% is the closest anyone has gotten to killing Zekvir post changes, you could even argue Shadow was pretty much the ony spec in the game that could have killed it at the time.
Yep. Once again delves are showing us what the real issue is, class imbalance. There was a time we would have been able to hang but casters, except mages, are expected to not have tools to deal with melee in pvp or environmental pve in certain content.
Or you can stop being condescending and update your delve guide. Like legit, why is it the same as M+ when you are solo?
You have Twins of the Sun Priestess talents, which is a waste. You don’t have improved Silence and you have life grip talented. Who are you life gripping on a solo Zekvir?
Once again proving that WoWhead has lazy talent writers, who just spit out BS.
There’s no guide explicitly for zekvir yet, I was going to actually beat it first before I wrote anything. Twin’s sun priestess works on brann because he acts as a party member. Improved silence didn’t feel particularly necessary in regular delves and brann can be extremely annoying positionally so I like to have life grip to get him back near me when he decides to run away like a coward. It’s also useful on the zekvir fight to grip him out of angler’s web if it’s going to kill him (Or to grip him into angler’s web if he’s infinitely feared and you need him to die to reset it.)
When I killed it I wrote a full Zekvir “??” guide and posted it on the forums. I’m in the process of transferring that information to its own guide page on wowhead as we speak.
I’ve also just found a video of someone using that guide to get a kill themselves.
Coming from someone who is an expert on spriest I find that answer slightly biased. Delves on spriest were absolutely atrocious to do, and on other specs with -20 ilvls it felt easier and faster. I haven’t bothered with Zekvir on spriest and I don’t think I ever will. That fight has a toxic design for ranged.
Shadow has 3 different ways to remove spittle. Fade, Dispersion, and Mass Dispel. Meaning even if it spell queues weird in P2 you’re still fine.
Shadows’s kick, while bad, lines up perfectly with the heal cast and that’s all it’s needed for.
Fade forces zekvir to attack brann or pets, giving you breathing room every 20 seconds.
Lifegrip let’s you save brann from perma fears in P2 or deliberately kill him with angler’s web at opportune times to reset his health bar.
Voidweaver has extremely potent 30s burst windows for eggs, and can cast void torrent while moving during said burst.
Being ranged means you never lose add uptime due to claw smashes or fears covering the egg spawn.
Focused will is nearly always up giving you a lot of DR for his base melee swings.
I know of 3 other SPs who’ve now done the fight. The only thing I think might be better is SV hunter because they can feign death despawn the spiders and ignore dpsing eggs completely.
Shadow usually sucks at solo content, and it does suck at regular delves, but being a ranged makes killing adds on zekvir significantly easier than melee and shadow has all the tools and more to deal with the rest of the mechanics.
