Brann is killing delves!

Just spent the best part of 40 mins in a lvl 9 delve to get to the boss. The one with the mine carts. Slow but decent until the boss.

Brann just stands in the way of the cart and gets and then i get spanked with the boss. This doesnt feel designed well at all. Just wasted my time.

Please test your game!

Brann needs to be switched to 99% dmg reduction from AoE abilities, hes absolutely useless at higher delves due to him being dead 24/7

I did have the same experience in Earthcrawl, but Brann never went unconscious and I was running healer spec so just topped him off again and continued. Ngl I can imagine it being worse as a pure dps spec, especially if you can’t decurse because that debuff is nasty. Only advice I have is make sure you interrupt that ability every single cast, you should be able to do so on any spec except priest.

Or perhaps just avoid Earthcrawl Mines :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

That specific delve aside, Brann is my hero this week. I had him tank for my healers, and heal for my warrior - who I normally play as Arms - and had a great time. He’s now level 57 which may be important.

Although I will say, his dps spec is basically useless in groups. With 4 players the scaling is hard on him and indeed he just conks out due to standing in damage that all the humans are avoiding.

Were you on a healer character or a dps? Brann should be set like this:

  • If you’re a tank, set him as dps
  • If you’re a healer, set him as tank
  • If you’re a dps, set him as healer
  • If you’re a group, follow the rule of: Healer unless you have one > Tank unless you have one > Dps.

I just did Earthcrawl Mines at Tier 10, just 5 minutes ago. Yes, he got hit by it, and I healed him through it.

I played first time as myself hunter DPS. I used Brann tank.
Since I hated enemies close my hunter and they hitted me so hard. I’m damn ranger.
I need Brann take them away from me. Feel safe than S1

But, later I will check other dps classes if need healer or tank.

Ain’t that bad. In fact, it’s my favourite delve for t11 and was my first t11 clear with no lives lost for both seasons. Just need to have Brann as healer and remember to get well away from the cart path and Brann will follow you as well. Also, remember it’s possible to change Brann spec once all the mobs are dead and there’s only the boss left.

Set Brann as healer, get a pet with Taunt out and misdirect on it or on Brann.

Once I used my pet taunt. But cant take all enemies. Like single taunted.
Pet fight one and other attack my hunter.

Brann can taunt every. It’s why Brann better tank for hunter

Personal experience, healer Brann can not keep my arms warrior safe in T11s. My health was yoyoing hard and every pack felt like I was fighting for my life.

He did absolutely fine once I grabbed a shield and swapped to protection mid-delve. I don’t really know how to play prot warrior, but the damage intake slowed down so much I had all the time in the world to spot the healing potions and walk over to them. Now confidently soloing.

Having him dps while I tank would… not have worked well. It wasn’t every pack, but occasionally I did need those healing potions. Mostly it was the underpin’s friends packs that chunked me.

I would be nervous of trying solo delves as a mage or rogue since I don’t know how best to have Brann help those. Everything else, either be the healer, or be the tank, or have your pet tank and set Brann to heal, imo. Why struggle on an MM hunter with Brann tanking when you can go BM, supply the tank, and have Brann heal?

I just ignore brann totally as I find my delve luck better if I just forget he exists and run the content alone or with my gf. He is in effect an affix
