Zekvir thoughts for guardian

it might have taken me ~200 tries, but i got that (*&$^&^ down solo.

guardian with druid of the claw
605 ilevel with 2 piece bonus, reasonably enchanted with food buffs and flasks.
brann level 33

ran brann as healer with:
-combat curio: idol of final will. at 4/4 that arrow slaps
-utility curio: relic of sentience at 4/4: more heals = better

Note: after so many tries, I actually got it down the first time i tried with the 4/4 arrow and brann as healer.

guardian tips:

other than running it 200 times sigh

  • you need two interrupts - skull bash and mighty bash. write macro for each to target web terror and use kick. have typhoon ready just in case
  • i did not interrupt poison (enfeebling spittle). instead, i had “fluid form” picked in the class spec. shifting forms drops the dot. i keybound rake on my bear bar to instantly shift into cat, and then had mangle on my cat bars to shift back into bear while not losing any dps time. if i had time on the egg and knew the poison was coming, i would charge the egg, then rake, thrash, rip into cat, (wait for poison dot to hit - it takes time to travel), then mangle back into bear.

general tips:

-keep zekvir in the middle of the room
-avoid fear (duh, i know, but that circle is bigger than you think)
-interrupt web blast
-after interrupt bring terror and zek back to middle of room
-bigwigs with countdown set: makes me pay attention
-save damage CDs for after web terror spawns
-it is a gear and brann level check.
-an average player like me will need to have more than the 600 suggested. i was 605
-level brann up. mine was 33
-get your 4/4 curious (from level 8 delves). that 4/4 arrow was the final piece for me
-pray to RNGJeebus

Good job man. I dont have your patience.
I will probably eait at the end of the season when brann is max lvled and i have all max ilvl gear.
But thx for all the tips

This is the biggest thing. I was running my Guardian at 587 ilvl with only a level 16 Brann just before this last reset (so in the ballpark of 9/12) and my best go round was 22% with Brann as DPS. Heals never seemed to be a problem. It was my lack of DPS and the RNG associated with Brann.

If he focused the cocoon with me, ez pz. It went down. Now if Brann is “dead” or doesn’t switch over and the egg hatches, things get hairy. Killed a couple spiders after they spawned, but more times than not if a spider spawned it was GG.

The overlap between Web Blast going off and the fear being cast at the same time made life horrible. You go to interrupt the web blast and you get caught in the Fear, or you avoid the fear and get hit with the stun (this may be where healer Brann actually comes in handy…i may give that a shot now that I think about it).

Will report back once servers come up and I give it a legitimate shot again.

Gratz btw!
