Trying to do "?" difficulty as dps and Brann does not gain any aggro whatsoever.

Comment by GeauxGeist

He isn't easy, but in Tier ? (I'll call it Tier 1 since its the first of two tiers this mfer has) I feel like as a Frost DK w/ 580 ilvl its "doable", I just haven't cracked the code yet. All of my deaths are on me for not doing something right.

Here's what he does, and my reaction to them:
Claw Smash- Cone of claws. One Shots me, just move out of the cone.

Call Web Terror- Places a cocoon down that you can kill before it hatches. This is probably the DPS check I'm failing. Couldn't get it down fast enough. If that spider spawns, it can root and stun.

Horrendous Roar: Does a metric f-ton of damage, but not one shot. Fears you and lets you succumb to his other moves. Big AOE circle- save your movement speed buffs for this one.

Enfeebling Spiddle- Poison DOT, I think its unavoidable, just take the damage and try to pop self-heals and defensives here.

Angler's Web- shoots webs in front. Stay behind. Does a lot of damage.

Will report back once I've cracked some of the abilities.

Have to complete a level 7 delve before getting access to Zekvir's Lair delve

For anyone struggling with this as Paladin: I tried a couple attempts as Prot and it wasn't going to happen with my 600 ilvl.
Brann as a DPS refuses to target the Cocoon before it hatches, so I swapped to Ret to be able to deal with it myself.

Whenever Zekvir summoned the Cocoon I would look at timers(dbm, bigwig, weakaura, etc), to see when he was going to cast Fear or Enfeeble
Then I would interrupt Enfeeble when he finally casts it, and Divine Steed out of the Fear range to go focus the Cocoon before it hatched
If you try to jump on the Cocoon as soon as it spawns then you will probably get hit with the Fear, then with Enfeeble, and end up dead without Divine Shield

Recommend a group with a tank and 3 DPS with CC. polymorph worked great here. You may only need two dps if you can kill before 3rd add comes out.

CC the adds, single target boss, kick enfeebling spittle, avoid area damage, win

Killed him Easy today with my UH DK (605) brann was set as healer and lvl40.

Comment by Kenzsjo

Just killed him at difficulty Tier ? and got the achievement Nemesis. I looted a cosmetic back Zekvir's Raptorial Spine after killing him but I'm not sure if that's a 100% droprate or not.
At the time I had 606 iLVL equipped as an outlaw rogue and a great help was Mad Queen's Mandate which really helped me nuke down adds before they even spawned making this quite easy. Got him on my second try when I had changed Brann from DPS to healer, despite people saying healing Brann is trash.

Healing Brann with the following abilites:
Idol of the Earthmother Idol of the Earthmother
Time Lost Relic Time Lost Relic

Can confirm after the recent hotfix today (9/27) that the difficulty for solo for the '?' difficulty feels appropriate now. After the "hoftix" before this last one that nerfed Brann, this was essentially impossible solo. Now, however, with a 590 ret pally and lv 20 Brann, and doing fight mechanics, this fight felt appropriately difficult - and doable - for my ilvl. Happy delving once again, everyone!
