Underpin fight is some of the most poorly designed dog I've ever played

Glad to see Blizzard still think it’s fun to have Brann stand on top of something you want to interact with.

“You’ll find me… where the action is.” x 5 as you try to click on a tiny little knapsack.

“No I won’t you mushroom wearing balloon, but I will find you standing on something!”

Zekvir was very challenging (for me) but a fun challenge. This is just an annoying mess, and progress doesn’t even feel good. On Zekvir I was actually learning the mechanics over time, but here it doesn’t matter how much I plan - things will always overlap and target random BS and aaaAAAghhh…

Also what is the point of the lines when they don’t show how big the fire balls are or where they actually end?

Edit 2: Brann REALLY needs to be more consistent for this to be fun.

Tried ?? quite a few times now and i think I’m just going to leave it as I don’t think i care enough about the skin in order to keep trying until i get lucky with spawns. Fight is also a buggy mess, bots spawn outside of arena, he’s suppose to use shield at 100 energy but instead reaches 100 and can spend anywhere from 10-45 seconds spawning EVERYTHING before you’re expected to burst shield leading to you holding CDs for way longer than you should, you also have to keep resetting the instance as the boss keeps his soft enrage between pulls. Is it doable? yes, is it fun? no, is it tuned for delve players? (which this boss is and should be) hell no.

I’d love to see the stats of what classes have killed the boss already, I’d put money on it being over 70% blood dks bug abusing week one.

Its a fun challange, but sometimes way too buggy. Saw some bots spawn outside arena, one bot spawn 500 yard away the others. Also a few cases, some bombs trigger range are smaller than others.

I’ve done both and also liked zekvir more because you were more dependend on your own class. The extra kicking of bombs with underpin was super exhausting and not fun at all

The fight sucks but it’s not rng.

I’m not sure I’ve ever come across a worse fight than this.

I’m speechless. It makes dumpster diving or whatever that other garbage content is in undermine seem compelling by comparison.

Just wait until you are overgeared and it gets x10 times nerfed

Absolutely horrible. I basically could not do the mechanics because all of my time was spent moving out of 1-hit kill(or near 1-hit kill) floor template attacks, and often my character just does not move fast enough on a mechanical, physical level. You can tell the people working on WoW now are the people who worked on Wildstar.(that’s why there is a Spellslinger Hero Class/Talent or whatever they are called, it was a class in Wildstar)

The thing that bothers me the most though? Is that there is an in-universe random Goblin who can kick the Champion of Azeroth’s butt. I’m not driving myself to not being alive by poisoning my organs and bones with stress chemicals over something that doesn’t matter. Brann is gonna have to get his hat himself or find a new one because this isn’t worth anyone’s time.

It’s RNG because the bombs land in random places which may not be ideal. That is by definition RNG.

Then every encounter in WoW is RNG… It’s a meaningless distinction. You can bait the adds, the bomb spawns are around your character but not fixed locations.

Besides that the mechanics are easier to dodge than zekvir, and the DPS check relative to ilvl is lower.

The fight is somehow both finnicky and boring.

every single person in here just calling out how skill gapped they are is astounding.
