If I kick the regen, the poison ticks and it’s purely rng if Brann will dispel me. If I kick the poison, it’s completely rng(though from my fights he never interrupts)the regen. Eggs seem to always spawn as far away as possible so he just gets to regen/poison me for free. There’s so much visual clutter it’s hard to see anything, especially when he drops pots for me to heal with.
Not to mention him randomly deciding to 1-shot me. I got crit for 6.5mil melee damage. How the hell is anyone but a tank, and even then they still might die, meant to avoid that? There’s so much random crap that goes off this doesn’t feel like skill. It feels like you picked the right class and got lucky. What’s the point of solo content if it’s miserable to solo and entirely reliant on rng? Hell my drop luck is better and I never get gear.

Use demonic circle to clear the debuff?

Yeah you’re not doing the mechanics correctly.
Clear the dot using other means.

?? Or ?
I found ? To be pretty easy back a while ago but I admit I’m struggling after the transition atm in ??.
I just started attempting to do this last night. I soloed the t10 as resto.
I’m only ilvl 605 I think but I’m pretty sure I can do this. I got him down to like 80% last night on my 3rd attempt.

?? has been a pain just did ?
Even ? is just not fun to do. I don’t think it is a very well designed encounter. I’ve farmed it on my DK and it’s just not fun.

On Saturday I did probably 200 attempts at this.
On Sunday I went in and one shot it.
The entire fight is completely contingent upon heavy layers of RNG. I just got good RNG, the eggs spawned in good spots, and Branns AI wasn’t completely degenerate dirt tier garbage. It wasn’t even close, at no point during the encounter was I anywhere near danger or risk of failure.
It’s the worst boss fight of any game I have ever played. It’s so poorly designed.

?? still needs nerfs. Remove zekvir auto attack crits, increase time between casts so you can dps the egg without worrying about a cast on top of you preventing you from killing egg, and in phase 2 nerf the void rift projectiles. Also give Brann 90% damage reduction so he doesn’t die phase 2.

Brann either dispels (as a healer) or interrupts (as damage), but not both. It’s a 1 min cooldown.
Are you watching his whip CD, cause he will hair trigger kick the moment that comes off CD. Could literally be a 30% slow move and he will jump on it.
Tanks can’t do this fight, just like they couldn’t do the ? Version until the nerf. Now he hits me for over 2,5 million, and his aoe instant kills me.
I can save every single one of my CDs, put dps trinkets on, and still can’t kill the egg because if he puts his one shot on it, that’s it I have to move and it’s over for me.
The most disappointing thing about this entire expansion for me is how badly they nerfed tanks. Yea I can stay alive but delves take me 40 minutes to complete. Every single pull takes me 5 minutes or more. I get hit like a truck so I can’t pull large packs in 8+ delves, so it’s one at a time slow as heck.
It drags on so much that it’s not fun. Mobs have one ability I have to dodge over and over again while it takes me forever to kill. Bosses have two, maybe 3 abilities I have to dodge over and over again.
If it’s their goal to get tanks to stop playing this expansion they’re doing a great job.

What people dont understand is there are still random Zekvir crits. He needs to not be able to crit and just do is normal damage each time so it’s not a roll the wrong rng and keel over.

I only found out today you could remove spittle with snare removing effects. That’s on me. Still an absolutely obnoxious fight full of pure RNG. It’s not fun to do all the mechanics right hen he just goes POW and you’re dead. Or you happened to get an egg spawn in an area where he just does every single possible mechanic and you can’t get on it. Or my fave is my best attempt ruined as I was dpsing the egg only to randomly get web wrapped through a portal, into the fear, and crit for 11mil damage.
What even web wrapped me? I know portals can throw you around the room, but there was no portal. It was an empty space, what the hell even sucked me in? It’s infuriating to lose a solid run cuz the game just decided nah, not this run, go again.
The random crits are absolutely killers too. Just a casual 4mil out of nowhere. Which is great cuz you either die immediately or Brann’s big heal is now on cd for 3m, when you might need it for a huge hit later on in the fight.
While I have never been hit by it so I can’t speak for it’s appearance, he does have an attack where fires a line that needs to be dodge or get yanked it. I do know that the add’s stun looks like a webbed up animation too.
Why don’t you just go ahead and petition for Zekky to just fall over when you open his door?
I can agree with his auto attack crits and I do think Brann should have an AI that is more responsive to switching to what you are attacking OR follows the skull mark but the rest is pretty nonsense. Being a left of bell curve (which presently includes me too) doesn’t absolve you from drinking deep of the git gud juice and gitting guuder…
But good god your list of nerfs may as well just have you auto win.
It looked like the add, but it came out of the portals. I’m only just now getting consistent phase 2 so how do you know he’s firing the line? Note: All eggs were killed and I was about 25% left on that egg before I got sent to Narnia. Also, he was casting the aoe fear at the time.
Zekvir separating the chads from the bads, working as intended.
Clear poison with demonic circle OP…
I knew that and hardly play lock as all.
Just save all short cds for cacoons and cacoons onlys, take your time on boss. If cacoons catch then don’t kick them but cc them
Isn’t that just p2 angler’s web? The web goes from portal to portal.
