Yeah, but the achievement that hands the void blimp, is meant to be soloable only.
I had lots of fun doing delves with my best friend. If it were possible to do the same for Zek’vir and unlock what he has to give I’d happily have done it with someone else.
Guess it depends on spec and gear aswell. I havent botherd trying lately, but i had 0 chance to kill the eggs in time for ?? as resto. Maybe i’ll give it a try again now when i have more ilvl.
As DPS I’m having less issues with the eggs, but I still very much die to insane amounts of damage on his auto-attacks. There’s just no way to keep it up whether I’m tank or DPS. The fight is clearly overtuned, as much of the content they released with this expansion.
It’s a shame - the expansion feels great. Having to playtest content as a paying player does not.
do it as blood, swap Branny to dps and have idol of final will and amorphous relic, doesn’t matter if it rolls damage or haste. rotate CDs on eggs, Deathbringer is probably the go to but with the buffs to San’layn it’s a viable option, interrupt the heal and shell every cast possible. If you have a on use damage trinket stack it with Limb and alternate
Dancing Rune Weapon, Bonestorm and Tombstone on first egg, Limb and trinket on second, if you are runnin Deathbringer us it on first and third, fourth egg should hopefully not happen before transition to P2. just rotate cooldowns on eggs, interrupt heal and use shell against the other cast. Just a matter of repeating until he’s dead.
Would only get him to 80% but installed DBM and after a few goes got him. to much to manage without addons = bad design. 613 Ret.
The fight is also RNG hell lol… spawns eggs other side of the room so open to his smash attack or the phase 2 fear orbs hitting you when you can’t see them
Reason why all the dark souls clones fail at difficulty is they don’t get what makes Dark Souls so good
The thing is, they scaled Tanks to receive a whole lot of extra damage, but not to do extra damage themselves. So when it comes to surviving pressure while doing a DPS race, you’re often at the short end of the stick.
That’s not just with Zik’Vir but everything in general. It takes you a lot more time to kill the mobs, which is bad enough on it’s own. But if Zik’Vir happens to randomly spawn while engaged with a group of mobs, it’s a death sentence.
You can’t kill off the group fast enough to focus on Zek’Vir and stabilize the damage received.
If I go as a Guardian Druid on Ilevel 619, I can manage him on his own if he spawns in an standard 8 but it takes all my defensives. If he happens to spawn while I’m engaged with another mob that’s above 50% I can’t kill it fast enough before the total damage of the mob + Zek’vir overwhelm me.
The mechanics are extremely simple, that’s not the issue. It’s all auto-attack damage that curb stomps me.
Yes, i know that. I just literally said i completed both challenges xd. You don’t need to lecture me about the difference. I am well aware of it. It’s the reason why i commented in the first place. To point out how ridiculous it is to compare them because of how far different they are.
Prolly need to try the ?? on some of these too, monk was way higher when I did the ?? on it, I think around 615-617, cant remember exactly, was some weeks ago
But good fun, requires you to focus quite a bit, ejoyed it a lot
The problem with ?? is that Zekvir used to be easier, before Brann was nerfed. Brann did the tanking and a lot more dps. Now, he’s a lot less useful.
As BM its hard to get far, the pet dies instant, you can’t use it for tanking. You have to tank it yourself and can really only take so much. The best I could manage so far was about 70%.
