What Is The Point Of Brann Bronzebeard In Delves?

Community General Discussion
1

  1. He often has pathing issues, which can cause issues with extra pulls and such

  2. He gets in the way of clicking chests and small pouch things very often

  3. He basically deals no damage (my brann is level 11) and with how his damage seems to be non existent even as he levels I doubt a level 50 or 60 bran would do that much more

  4. His healing is just as bad if not worse.
    He drops like 3 or 4 tiny potions you can walk into to get stacking heal.
    But the issue is we have 3.5-4+ million HP and the damage we take is huge.
    But the heal feels so small that it seems out of place in this expansion and feels like it’s tuned for 2-3 expansions back. I stopped picking them up because it basically zero healing.

When are the fixes and buffs coming?
And I did notice on wowhead he actually got a nerf to damage a couple days go, which I can’t understand as it made him even more useless than he already was.

Is there a way to turn him off? I’d rather have no Brann than this.

When I read that they nerfed him I was laughing.

Because he pulls more than I want nearly all the time or does other daft things.
You’d think a little bit more powerful would be fine since it offsets the nonsense we get. :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

I love it when he tells you to avoid frontal AOE cone attacks and then stands in them himself.

Idk what you’re doing but I have had 0 issues with him and the healing is pretty good.

I’ve been doing them as tank with him as DPS and he does seem like a complete noob who deals zero damage.

He seem to counterspell pretty consistently

His devilsaur can fear too I think(?)

He doesn’t deal much damage though agreed

And the webs!

I’ve never tried him as a dps I only use him as a healer. I presume he did too much damage which got him nerfed.

… only been in them a couple of times, tried both DPS and healer, will keep him as healer. He keeps fishing and going to sleep with me … clearly I’m taking ages! :thinking:

Brann is a real hunter.

  • Pulls additional mobs
  • Breaks CC
  • Kites mobs away to god knows where
  • Wonders off to do some gathering
  • Gets lost/stuck

I did the mushroom delve at tier 3, at level 80, as a healer (with 564 item level, recommended for T3 is 545). Brann (8) was extremely useless as a damage dealer even with the rage-filled curio that increases his damage. He did less damage than me, all the aggro was on me 100% of the time, and it really wasn’t fun.

Then I did it again with him as a healer and me as a (ranged) dps, and even though mobs had twice the HP, it was a much better experience.

I wish there was a tank option.

He is doing his best ok?
And he is there for the morale up/Scottish accent.

Kidding, yeah… I’m quite sure buff is coming, at least for healing :slightly_smiling_face:

The point of Brann Bronzebeard in delves is to repeat this over and over:

As a healer he feels very weak now. I soloed up to 6 and will do the rest in a group. This is 100% not fun.

I think we are supposed to level him up so he gets stronger. The max Brann we have is right now lvl 15, while he will go up to lvl 60. But in the meantime we try to do high delves already. Pretty Brann will get stronger and more usefull. Allthough i mostly would hope for a tank spec on Brann. As a healer myself delves are painfull.

The point of him is to act as the missing member of the group. Didn’t bring a healer? He’s it. Didn’t bring a tank? He’s it. jk rip :headstone: you. Didn’t bring any damage? He’s it.

That’s all he is. My experience is he isn’t really bugged at all and generally quite useful, but he’s not exactly good at his job. I’d much rather have a real healer, but that’s good as well. I should always prefer people over bots - but he makes the game playable.

I hope this will happen, but for now we can not choose him to take the tank-role.

Oh really? LOL. I never tried, I always got a healer. :rofl:
