Brann Bugfix and Buff — 15 September

And then there’ll be an outrage thread by people crying about layoffs or whatever attack blizz for doing what they wanted

As a healer can’t finish a level 4 delve with lvl 16 dps Brann.

Brann is useless. He does nothing. He doesn’t tank, he does a very little damage. What am I supposed to do as a healer?

Then someone should explain to them what a progression system actually is.
Because it’s not rushing through it in week 1 of a season.

Do level 3? Get some experience for Brann and better gear for yourself and then do 4.
And then 5. And then 6. Etc.

Just have to keep yourself and brann alive and have all the time in the world to get through it. It takes forever but its doable (done up to t7 as healer alone, havent tried higher. Havent done as evoker though, so no good tips for you sadly).

The progression system goes like this week 1: delves
Week 2: never do delves again as everything else is easier, quicker and more rewarding.

Amazing system that.

Also all you’ve even done and take a dump all over raiding/m+/pvp so you don’t really have a leg to stand on when people question the content you like and the decision blizzard make regarding it.

For people whom delves are actually MEANT FOR, that’s not the case.
Solo players only have 1 choice when they want to do endgame progression.

And that’s why everyone else should just back off. Stop obsessing over a little extra gear.
Leave this content alone and let those for whom it is meant, enjoy it.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Does this fix Zekvir? Brann does literally no damage to Zekvir

For a tank spec, the only thing from Brann which does any damage are the traps which stack their bleed, they not only time out prematurely or disappear without being triggered at random but their hitboxes are insanely inconsistent.

But what damage increase are we talking about? I’m 600 ilvl and we was much stronger a few days ago. Even the powershot ability (guided aim) would have almost one shot the eggs on Zekvir (at least 3/4 of 6mil hp) now does barely 1.2mil damage.

I can literally throw all the damage output curios into trash now because the only thing worth from him is utility and Execute one shot, but that one is so rare so there’s no point in even having him in DPS spec.

Brann feels even more powerful now, and considering how many delves i run on alts as well, i have been very lucky with some very good curios, i wonder if its time to push +10 yet alto my item level is not quite there yet, but then again i was doing +10 on demo warlock at 580 item level.

Some classes have it easy some have it hard, throw those that have it hard a bone please, and encourage group play, rather then encouraging more depression.

Yes i am depressed, i would rather group content then solo play, please listen i am having these conversations i want with people in my head in a loop, dragging me further and further into depression, all because they ignored Radeon users with driver issues for 2 whole years, now i got lucky and can play again, but many of us still cannot.

Whats the point looking at the future, if you have no future, send help please.

According to Details “DPS Brann” made 43% of all damage. 57% damage did I as a healer. And my damage is low obviosly, am a healer after all. So why “DPS Brann” still made less damage than me?

I dunno man seems impossible, something is broken. The boss only focuses me, if only Brann at least was tanking. But no, Brann just refuses to tank at all.

At the end of course I died.

Brann does no damage to Zekvir. Please fix

The opposite, makes him worse.

So whats the recommended ilvl for zek’vir on ??

I do agree, the 8’s aren’t difficult, just learn what abilities you can ignore and which you should respond too for all types of enemies (kobyss/kobold/spore/nerubian) but the constant flipping around the tuning is annoying

Mobs are damage sponges, in general if I can get a mob to 20% health missing I can get them to 100% health missing, its just a matter of time from that point on, I will sustain indefinetly, so why make it take so long with the large health pools?

Edit:
they did something to brann scaling with your ilvl, this is wrong, brann should only scale with your level (max or not) and his own level (static)

to add player ilvl in the equation is just a way to enforce the recommended ilvl harder
They already gave brann his own levels for the power part of it

I tried as a cat and couldn’t even do t4 in the same gear as my hunter who was doing 7-8’s… I had to go bear, maybe go DPS and Brann as the healer?

What delv are you on?

I’ve done up to t7 as healer alone, its managable, just takes forever. Its fine though, its not content aimed at me, i know i will be skipping it and doing m+ next week. I just wanted to like them cause i’ve liked “solo” content before (visions and torghast as examples). This just feel very slow. Mostly just testing them out since its so much about them on the forum.

Edit: i dont wanna go as dps, i suck at playing elemental and i prefer doing all my content as resto.

They are slow and some classes just out right can’t do high teirs. But 20mins for champion gear for solo ppl isn’t bad, your M+ will take longer to ppl out gear the content imo.

My only issue is these boards claiming they where fine before… Now everyone is on the same field I find it funny they now complain :slight_smile:

I would find healing group content harder than solo dps but each to their own :slight_smile:

When AI will took over the world Brann will burn you all on stakes for those comments :smiley:

I’ve been able to solo every T8 delve on my own as a Fire Mage, with one exception, and that was when Waxface was massively overtuned.

However today has been the most frustrating of days. Brann seems to pull mobs out of nowhere, his damage spec does just as much damage as his heal spec (excluding the execute), making his damage spec useless. The health from the vials is an improvement (getting 1.4 million per vial now), but it makes the delve painfully slow.

With each ‘fix’ they seem to break something else. I don’t know what to expect anymore. One day I can clear one in 15 mins, the other day I get smashed for no apparent reason. This is such a bad experience like this. I don’t mind it if it is hard, or if it takes longer, but at least make up your mind so I know what to expect.

Sounds like progression.
Delves are a progression system. They’re not a one off challenge.

I really think many people have the wrong idea about what delves actually are.

Overtuned unplayable time-slogs.
