Can We do it now ? or we have to wait for season 1 ?

Comentado por Dennen89

I soloed this 4-5 hours ago as a 590 Brewmaster Monk, on live servers post Season 1 starting.

I pushed one delve up to level 11 and after completing it, did the T12 and T13 Zekvir fights - it took me 4-5 attempts solo, but i've since tried it again a few minutes ago and it took 10-11 tries, mainly due to RNG on ability queing and Brann targeting.

The delve chest at the end also dropped a Void Skin unlock item for the Delve Dirigible.

At 590 ilvl, the boss 1-2 shots most tanks, and Brann does most of your damage, but as a Brewmaster with some good RNG it is definitely possible.

I've added a screenshot of the mount skin and achievement.

UPDATE - 06.10.2024 - Post Hotfix
Another hotfix sometime last week has made this possible again! There is still a substantial amount of white damage (auto attacks) going out and it can be frustrating if you play a class without a magic dispel or immunity, this is because he can crit you with a melee attack at the same time the dot from his spittle ability ticks which will do just over 5m total within a GCD.

Certainly doable by most classes now! Remember using a freedom ability (Blessing of Freedom / Tiger's Lust / Druid Shapeshift) will also remove the DoT. DKs can use Anti-Magic Shell just before the cast finishes to avoid the ability too.

UPDATE - 13.09.2024 - Post Hotfix
A recent hotfix to delves has suddenly made this fight insanely out of reach for me. Zekvir now slaps Brann into another plane of existence almost immediately with me shortly behind! The scaling on delves in general is strange and this hotfix doesn't feel quite right either, so right now I'm convinced there will be further adjustments or this boss isn't supposed to be possible until Brann hits max level. I will keep updating with further attempts!

If you want to just see the boss's abilities, then my video is still useful. The general tactics will remain the same, it's just very very hard to survive his damage when Brann isn't tanking it all for you.

OLD - 11.09.2024 - Pre-hotfix

Earned this today as an ilvl 596 Unholy DK, my strategy was to let my level 18 Brann (4/4 Idol of Final Will + 4/4 Amorphous Relic) solo the boss while I stayed alive. That's not even exaggerating too much either, Brann did 64% of the damage and his devilsaur did 14% - so I contributed the remaining 22%.

With such low gear the fight is quite RNG dependent, Brann's Final Will timings had to line up with the eggs spawning or I would not be able to kill them and it would be really hard to recover. If you're struggling with this fight I recommend taking the first phase slow and saving your CDs for immediately after he finishes channeling "Black Blood" at around 50-60% HP.

Unholy DK is great for this fight because as long as you kick his heal you can always use Anti-Magic Shell to prevent his poison from applying. Brann will sometimes use his kick too and I always saw him use it very quickly, so if the cast gets to the half way point you can assume he isn't kicking the cast. If an add did spawn I tried to use stuns and death grips to stop its casts, however if the add got a cast off in the second phase I would almost certainly die.

EDIT: Something I forgot to add, I have /petattack bound to my Scourge Strike and this seemed to help with getting Brann to hit the eggs (might have just been the devilsaurs) so if you are a non-pet class maybe using a /petattack macro could be useful!

What is the strategy to beat Zekvir?
Unfortunately my recording software was disabled for my first kill, but I did it again and recorded a much cleaner attempt. The only consumables I used were Flask of Alchemical Chaos and an Algari Healing Potion (both silver quality). The video shows the strategy better than I could write out in a comment. It is honestly very simple when compared to the Mage Tower fights in Legion and Shadowlands, it is just gear checked pretty hard especially at this point in the season. If you really want the void skin for the delver's dirigible I think this is going to be quite easy to do late into the season.

Added a video of my second kill with highlighted strategies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh47N9tHWqk&ab_channel=NoHanzo

How do I unlock this delve?
I believe it was officially announced (or it's at least listed on WoWhead's guide here: https://www.cuckhead.com/guide/the-war-within/achievements/glory-of-the-delver) that you have to clear every delve on T11 to unlock this one. I can confirm that is definitely not true. I cleared every delve on T3 and only Earthcrawler Mines up to T11 as I believe it is the easiest one. No shade to the author of that WoWhead guide, that was written with the information we had at the time of its publication and it's clear Blizzard has changed their minds or there is some sort of bug.

What Brann build did you use?
DPS Brann with 4/4 Idol of Final Will and 4/4 Amorphous Relic. These were the only 4/4 curios that I had going into the fight and I think I got very lucky because they feel incredibly strong. I thought you could upgrade the curios by collecting multiple lower level tiers, but I now don't think this is true. I got both of my 4/4 curios from T8 bountiful delves (Zekvir dropped another on the first kill).

Killed it after 18 attempts as Fury warrior, Let Brann do most the stuff and then just kick the heal.
Never kick spittle, You can use any spell that removes movement impairing effects to remove the debuff.

Brann is a bit annoying when he gets feared out of the room and he resets the boss =)

Comentado por NokoFace

Strats using Brann as a DPS and Idol of Final Will are very accurate, but if you're here wondering if you're doing something wrong: Very likely no. It is still EXCEPTIONALLY RNG reliant. All the way down to even Brann and the boss's positioning. If Brann doesn't cast idol during the egg sack? Death. If Brann is standing out of LoS of the egg and he casts idol? Death. If the Boss is standing between Brann and the egg? Death. If Brann gets feared during the idol cast? Death. Hell, I've had Brann - for some reason - disengage to the side mid-cast and COMPLETELY whiff it when it would have hit dead on. Success or failure relies on Brann's positioning. It's also entirely possible for his AI to flip out during phase 2 and *repeatedly* run into multiple brown swirls on the ground and kill himself.

Solo'd today as a 602 at the time hunter. Had my level 24 Brann as DPS with Unbreakable Iron Idol (1/4) and the Amorphous Idol (1/4). As every above is saying it was VERY RNG dependent. I always opened with misdirecting to Brann, and about 10% of the time it worked. After that then I just started my DPS rotation. The claw slam DOES go through turtle, so just have to save move speed CDs for that. Once I got to the 15% to 20% HP range was when Brann on bad RNG would die, but my pet would be able to tank using the defensives I'd been able to save with Brann tanking, otherwise a base auto would 1 shot my pet for typically over 5 million damage. Even with the RNG dependent runs, it was still a blast.

Here is my POV of soloing this on my 598 Brewmaster monk with Level 24 Brann

youtube.com/watch?v=XF-YeXXmYBc&feature=youtu.be
(I can't link the video because I'm a new account)

Main strategy I used was kiting the boss away from Brann to not get him feared. Diffuse Magic myself and Tiger's Lust Brann to dispel him. While spam healing him. It took me 30-40 attempts and a bit of good rng to get. Don't give up!

Ummmm... i just solo'd this dude in his lair and killed him. I did NOT give me the let me solo achievement it just gave me the defeat him in his lair feat of strength... not exactly sure what i did wrong here...

Comentado por Tandefelt

This achievement is much harder for certain classes. I did mine as a 594 evoker, and it was really painful (12/09/2024)

the fight with zekvir is higly dependent on rng (brann is a !@#$%) and you need a way to dispel the dot.
For Evokers. deep breath was my only option.

Tanks, dks and some classes with immunities make this fight much easier, altough still really really hard. With my evoker, it was super hard and felt really good to beat.

Use final will for brann, it does big dmg to adds.
Save bloodlust and big cds for phase 2. Dodge everything. Interrupt the heal and burst down the adds. Do that over and over, and you'll eventually luck out!

Just did this as a 598 Herald of the Sun Ret paladin with a 33 Brann using 4/4 Final Will and 2/4 Amorphous.

Just wanna reiterate what other people have already said, this is a very RNG reliant fight, hardest part being the adds if one of them spawns it makes it significantly harder to recover and kill the boss.
Brann does great dps but you can't really count on him targeting the eggs, sometimes he pretty much kills them solo, sometimes he never hits them.
Final will does a lot of damage but in my experience, most of the time Brann will either get feared before getting it off or he'll jump on his gryphon before the cast ends causing him to almost always miss the shot.
The dot is quite easy to deal with as a paladin, you can just remove it with freedom and if you precast it, it prevents the debuff from being applied, made a /target Brann macro to cleanse him as well and have him take less damage.

Also, the void dirigible drops from one the chests in the end, not from the boss or the achievement, so don't be an idiot like me and hearthstone out immediately after killing the boss or you'll have to do it again.

Whatever hotfix was implemented tonight has made this boss entirely undoable now. Prior to 9 pm est he was tankable through Brann and mechanics could be done. He is now 1-2 shotting Brann. Not sure if this was intended but that's pretty horrible feeling.

Comentado por Rechy

Where is the summon sign! i cant summon him!

Comentado por kardinal

I think the most important aspect of this which should be known is that this required you to do the Zekvir's Lair at level thirteen. This is not explicitly stated in the description but it appears to be the case.

After the hotfix changes below, this appears to be much much more difficult than before. It is said that Blizzard intended this achievement to be of similar difficulty to the Mage Tower in Legion, which means it is intended to be very very difficult and require relatively high gearing.

Comentado por Callmetog

This short guide was made by me before the September 12th hotfixes making this fight much harder currently. Brann is either bugged or nerfed in this delve and is doing considerably less damage to the point he will not tank Zekvir for you if you are trying to do this as dps. That being said, this guide should still work as a general strategy when either you have high enough gear to attempt it OR Blizzard makes the fight doable with lower ilvl again.

BOSS ABILITIES IN P1-

Claw Smash- Frontal Cone, long range, targets either you or Brann, one shot kill.
Horrendous Roar- AOE fear around the boss, does massive damage, can survive with large defensives but if you have reaction time it's always dodgeable.
Enfeebling Spittle- Interruptable cast, does enough DOT damage to kill you but with a large defensive + offhealing yourself you can maybe survive.
Regenerating Carapace- Interruptable cast, heals the boss for 10% of his HP.
Angler's Web- Straight line frontal, if it hits you the boss sucks you in and hits for a massive amount of damage.
Call Web Terror- Spawns a cocoon along the outer walls of the arena that begins a timer, if the cocoon does not die before the timer hits 0, a spider spawns.

Spider Ability-
Web Blast- Interruptable cast, stuns you for 4 seconds and hits for a large chunk of damage.
Spider is vulnerable to all forms of CC.

BOSS ABILITIES IN P2-

EVERYTHING FROM BEFORE
Unending Spines- rocks will begin falling from the ceiling.
The boss will open void portals that teleport you to a different void portal if you walk through one. Easy enough to avoid these, but if you are trapped damaging a cocoon near a few of these and a frontal comes up, it can get hectic.
Blood infused carapace- Interruptable cast, heals the boss for 25% health.

How I did Deixe-me enfrentá-lo a sós on day 1 of Zekvir's Lair release.

Ilvl 591 Unh DK, my exact strat was this-

Go full ST spec, this makes it much easier to nuke down the cocoons before they produce any problematic spiders. I started the fight doing a normal, non-cooldown rotation to the boss letting Brann build aggro. When the boss summons the very first cocoon, send everything on it. When the cocoon dies, try to use the rest of your damage to nuke the boss to phase 2 before he spawns another cocoon. The boss will get a 99% damage taken debuff, so as your cooldowns wear off this is a good time to regenerate some resources. Upon phasing, the boss will gain the abilities listed above in p2, and it's basically the same gameplay as P1 except there's more things to dodge. Kill the cocoons, if you fail to and a spider comes out, try to kill the spider. You can choose to ignore a cocoon and burn the boss at the end. Just make sure you don't get stunned by a web blast because it can easily end your attempt. You can use AMS as a dk to soak web blast damage + negate the stun, or use AMS on enfeebling spittle when you don't have an interrupt available. Other classes will know how to use their immunities and utility better than me.

This is all I have to add, hopefully this helps you prep for soloing Zekvir and getting your Void schematic, good luck!

Edit: As of the hotfixes on Sept 13th, Brann seems to deal significantly reduced damage in this delve and there seems to be some weird scaling and damage issues, making this solo achievement seemingly impossible at this time.
Edit 2: As of the hotfixes on Sept 26th, Zekvir's lair has had significant nerfs. I have updated the info below for accuracy, but the solo achievement is once again doable.

Thought I'd write a bit of a guide/info thread for those who are looking to attempt this.

Zekvir is a pseudo end-boss for season 1 of the new Delves feature introduced in The War Within. He is located in the 'hidden' 13th Delve called Zekvir's Lair, which is found in the western-most section of the City of Threads in Azj'Kahet.

There are two modes for Zekvir. A normal mode, called Tier ? and a hard mode, called Tier ?-?. To unlock Tier ? and access to the delve, you need to beat any delve on tier 8 with lives remaining. To unlock Tier ?-? you need to beat any delve on tier 10 with lives remaining. The Nêmesis achievement is awarded for beating Zekvir in the normal mode Tier ? difficulty, either on your own or in a group. The O caçador virou caça is awarded for beating Zekvir on the hard mode Tier ?-? difficulty, either on your own or in a group. The Deixe-me enfrentá-lo a sós is awarded for beating Zekvir on the hard mode Tier ?-? difficulty whilst solo only.

The delve itself has no trash or other enemies whatsoever. You walk in, there's a room to prepare Brann, then you unlock a door and Zekvir is right in front of you in the next room.

For reference, on Tier ? difficulty, Zekvir has around 81M health (when solo) and has 5 abilities.
- Angler's Web is a narrow frontal cone aimed at his current target that grips you in and deals damage (can be dodged)
- Claw Smash is a wide frontal cone aimed a you or Brann that deals massive damage (can be dodged)
- Horrendous Roar is 15 yard AoE around the boss that deals damage and fears you for 4 seconds if you are in the circle when the cast finishes (move out)
- Enfeebling Spittle is an interruptable cast that puts a 20 second DoT and slow on you that trucks your health. Note - this is a magic effect and a snare, so can be magic-dispelled or can be removed by abilities that remove snares (eg: Warlock Teleport).
- Call Web Terror summons a cocoon with 4.3M health (when solo) that will hatch into a spider if not killed in 20 seconds. The spider will repeatedly cast a 5 second stun on you, which is interruptable/cc-able. The spider spawns with the same percentage the cacoon had, but has more health overall.

On Tier ?-? difficulty, Zekvir is juiced. He now has 182M health (when solo) and his abilities from Tier ? have been tweaked to make them more difficult.
- Angler's Web cast time is reduced and this will now one-shot.
- Claw Smash cast time is reduced and this will now one-shot.
- Horrendous Roar now deals a significant amount of damage, most-likely one-shotting you.
- Enfeebling Spittle damage is significantly increased and will most-likely kill you if not removed or a defensives rotated.
- Call Web Terror's cocoon has has significantly more health (9.8M health when solo) and spiders now spawn at full health.
As well as the above, Zekvir gains one new ability in Tier ?-?
- Regenerating Carapace heals Zekvir for 10% of his maximum health if not interrupted.

On Tier ?-?, Zekvir now has a phase 2 at 60%. He will run to the centre of the room and start a 10 second cast which also makes him take 99% reduced damage. Once this cast finishes, 2 of his abilities are empowered and he gains 2 new abilities.
- Horrendous Roar becomes Infinite Horror and if hit will fear you indefinitely (you will probably die to the damage anyway).
- Regenerating Carapace becomes Blood-Infused Carapace and now heals Zekvir for 25% of his maximum health if not interrupted.
- Unending Spines is a new ability that causes spines to erupt from swirlies on the ground dealing massive damage, most-likely one-shotting you (keep moving and dodge them).
- Void Portals is a new ability that creates 4 void portals in the room. Travelling into one will teleport you randomly to another (don't get caught out teleporting into a frontal).

-- Note - When solo, the cooldowns of Enfeebling Spittle, Renenerating Carapace and Blood-Infused Carapace are altered to better match available class interrupts.

Good luck!

Seemed doable but difficult before the delves hotfixes came in. After the delve hotfixes impossible/near impossible, time to wait for another round of "fixes" before attempting this again.

Comentado por MerokoGaming

So it appears Blizzard really didn't want this to be done yet as the recent hotfixes have made this guy absolutely impossible to solo. I imagine it was intended he only be doable in higher end gear with Bran being max level. So those that got the achievement in before the hotfix, grats on this but for those that didn't it's gonna be a bit of a wait unless they nerf this again.

Comentado por WillowFae

Honestly with the reactions the team seems to have with successful runs, Blizzard either doesn't play its own game or it bait-and-switched about the entire purpose of Delves and offering a system that casual players could enjoy apart from Mythic and Keystones. That, and offering one NPC that gets nerfed to the floor that holds no aggro for non-tank players is a bit of an oversight and should be addressed (but probably won't be until after Season 1 and the associated rewards become unavailable). This achievement also is a huge imbalanced mess in terms of what class to play and encourages players to play the absolute meta, which is unappealing to a casual and the family-man who has to work to feed his family and still wants to give Delves a try as a means of peace, quiet, and reward. I could be entirely wrong about the purpose of Delves, but the aforementioned was my impression when I saw them.

Hey Blizzard, Let Me Solo Him.

Seems kind of #$%^ty that this isn't possible even with full heroic level gear. If you save interrupt for the dot, he full heals. If you interrupt the heal, he dots you which eventually eats through all your defensives.

Comentado por fscar86

the fact that most classes can not solo him not with max gear is crazy

Did Zekvir today after the nerfs. The biggest change being the the webs health was nerfed from 11m and the cast time was doubled. This lowered the needed dps from 1m/dps burst to ~500k dps.
Another big impact is that his kicks are now separated on solo (Poison and Heal).
The other big changes were his health was reduced from 195m to 182m (probably has minimal impact).

The heal is the interrupt. You have to hard kick this, Brann seems to refuse to even was i was trying him as dps. There is no better workaround, this is where your kick goes
However , most classes won't have the ability to kick the spittle afterward. The way to deal with this is use anything that can break you free of snares/movement speed slows (Warlock Teleport, for example) when Brann doesn't dispel it off of you.

Once I got that part down, the rest of it became a dance.

Hug his ass till he casts the fear, go in to avoid the cones. Interrupt Heal. Hard focus the webs. Snare removal. Repeat.

Some stuff can help, anything that can slow his casts (amplified curse + curse of tongues) this gave a brief burst window for a late interrupt.

The phase change has minimal actual impact as the abilities are just as punishing as before, what until he's done casting to pop any cd's.
The thing the 60% 10s intermission does allows you to clean up any webs and build any resources.

I tanked him right in the middle of the room, and continued the dance

---

Other things: Brann will almost certainly die--tbh don't worry about him unless you need the health pots he throws. Somehow he can recover himself. In P2, there are some windows you can use to heal him (if you're able to do it while he's out of the fear circle/while he's casting the cone) otherwise, focus up your rotation and win.

Just did it on Enh Shaman, ilvl 611, 2 tier pieces, @#$% trinkets. Healer Brann, lvl 49, Idol of the Earthmother + Amorphous (it was lvl 1, but still). CcQA6DE2ZxOD3n18X41tWLU5RNzMzyMzMYmZMzwsNsMDAAAAAAAAAAsBwYGDDZBWGN0gFAYbyMYWWMzMzYGzMbYZmZCMWGzMAAzA is the build, standard ST raid. Thunderous Paws is your main save against the Spittle debuff. As we save our kicks for the heal, going into wolf is your main way to cleanse it. Spirit Walk and Wind Rush totem with talented Jet Stream are there for backup.

Concentrate on dodging and baiting his cleaves and fear aoe, especially when the egg is up. You don't want to bait it into the egg (sometimes that still happens cuz Brann) or get locked in a corner with the egg, Zekvir and fear aoe. I've also noticed that the pattern aoe -> cleave causes a bug when the animation for the cleave will not show until very late, keep your eyes on his cast bar and always be prepared to dodge. Your Brann will die, sometimes randomly. DO NOT try to rez him even with Earth Elem, just play safe and wait for him to rez himself back. I honestly think Enh is a very good pick to try this achiv on. Gl!

Just soloed at 611 as a Windwalker monk, lvl 37 bran as healer with porcelain arrowhead idol 1/4 and time lost relic 1/4.
Biggest piece of advise is waiting to see if bran dispells you or not so you can save whatever you were using to get rid of spittle. Tigers lust and diffuse magic are monks two best friends here. there seems to have been some nerfs to the spider spawns because they were not even close to hatching especially with CDs. If you can make it to 60% for P2 you basically have the fight its just a matter of learning "the dance" and having no unlucky placements on his casts.
4pc and intelect healing trinkets (that did a lil dmg but not much).
Talents for those curious.

Tips for mages:
ONLY kick the heal, you can remove the magic dot with your Energized Barriers
I did it as arcane with Bran healer (you dont lack damages), porcelain & amorphous

Everything is one shoting so dodge, try to adapt ur defensives
I recommend lusting pot CDs etc during P2 (P1 is kinda easy now, so burn the boss in P2)

And that's it, good luck !

This fight is now impossible for nearly every spec unless you're in full Mythic Raid gear with full BiS. He hits way too hard and there are too many interrupts. Since they nerfed Brann's Interrupt CD a while back he only interrupts once every ~45 seconds meaning even as a melee class it is impossible to hit both the Enfeebling Spittle which deals over 1 million damage a second for 13 seconds, and his massive heal. This company is so bad at balance, Delves in general are still poorly tuned and way too hard for most classes because of how much health and damage everything does, but this achievement is now impossible for everyone unless again you have full BiS Mythic Raid Gear. Gj Blizzard. "Solo content" btw.

Downed him after the nerf/buffs/whatever state he's in now (9/27/24). Here's a video of the kill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbEuyDHUme8

Definitely doable, at least for classes that have a toolkit well-suited for his abilities.

Some information about the kill:

-My Brann was lvl48 heal-spec, using a maxed Porcelain Arrowhead Idol and Amorphous Relic. I liked the +health proc from Amorphous to lessen the RNG from melee crits, but I didn't intentionally wipe it if it rolled the wrong way.

-100% of my gear is from Delves / crafting, so you don't need to over-gear it to down it (at least on a paladin). I am not wearing any crafted gear higher than 606, nor am I using any crafting embellishments.

-Herald of the Sun Retribution spec, ilvl609 average (talents and gear are shown toward end of the video).

-It took less than two hours to kill him. There is some RNG involved, but between Sun Templar's ranged capabilities, burst mobility, and utility it wasn't too bad. Positioning to try and avoid a wide cone on the hatching eggs was a big part of getting it consistent. Occasionally he would start healing at the same time as eggs, but that only seemed to happen certain attempts.

-Melee crit RNG was probably the worst, but it was extremely rare that I'd run out of Brann potions. Especially in phase two, Zekvir spends a lot less time doing melee so it's much easier to survive in case that helps anyone plan out a kill.

-I'm guessing it might be extremely hard for certain classes/specs to tackle him. Paladins have a really strong toolkit for it right now. But on the other hand, there's a ton more optimization from gear possible before this season ends from Delves/crafting/crests alone.

Finished this today as a Archon SPriest at 613 ilvl. Have a few tips for you fellow priests that might be having problems or might think its still impossible. Took me about 40 tries and my final kill end dps was 760k and a ~~19 MINUTE FIGHT~~. definitely not a 19 minute fight lol, just did what was based on my details without thinking; definitely felt like it took a while!

Both Phantasm (freedom from snares upon using Fade) and Last Word (15 Second CD reduction on Silence) are almost required as you will run out of ways to dispel the dot and not have your CD up fast enough to kick the heal. Other than that I would recommend a more ST build with access to MD and Disperse (obviously) as they can be used in an emergency to dispel the dot incase you use fade incorrectly. I would also say stay closer to the boss most of the time if you can as since you are slow you will die a ton from waves if you arent in the right place. If you can survive otherwise I'd also say to use VE over the leech option as it will help keep Brann up a lot however he bugs a lot after dying and insta respawns at full HP which helps a lot however he isn't necessarily needed especially in the 2nd phase.

Comentado por FlasKamel

I got it on my fury warrior today! ilvl 613!
I used rank 2 potions, weapon oil, and ate some food.

My tactic was basically this:
- Only interrupt his healing ability.
- To get rid of the poison you can use Escape Artist, Charge, Heroic Leap - a lot of stuff!
- Save CDs for the webs you can attack.
- And probably the one that saved me: Don't go to those webs before he's cast that huge white spell. You barely have time to get out of it if you're far away from the boss, so if he's far from the web mobs, just let him cast it before you nuke them.

It has a second phase where you basically just have to avoid standing in stuff. It doesn't fill the whole room, so you can get away from it to get a better overview.

There's still some RNG. Brann can be super usefull, or super useless. And while the boss usually casts the same spells in a specific order that's not always the case.

Bonus: This is easily the best feeling I've had in WoW, my first "accomplishment."

Got it tonight after a good few hours at it as a Frost DK. 608 ilvl with 4 set and @#$%ty trinkets. Bran was set to healer with porcelain and amorphous just as others suggested.

Went with Obliteration build and Rider of the Apocalypse hero talents.

Picked up strangulation for a back up stun on the spiders if one broke out.

Made sure to alternate anti-magic shell to avoid the dot (praying Brann would remove the other) and interrupted only the heal. I'm sure you could use death charge to remove the dot as well but i saved it to make sure I got out of cleaves and fears. Focused webs and if one happened to get out made sure to have icebound available. I also used strangulate and death grip to delay the cast as long as possible, especially if they were low enough to cleave down.
If you use frostwrym's fury at the start, it should come up at good times to get the webs. I'm sure you could greed with lichborne for fears but I played hella safe since with my ilvl he chunked me pretty hard.

It does sometimes feel like this fight comes down to good RNG (what with Brann sometimes being useful or useless) but keep persevering!

Did it with 610 ilvl , 2 tier pcs Windwalker Monk (Shado Pan hero talent) with lvl 47 Brann on DPS after the nerfs.
For me it was way easier with Brann being a DPS because I didn't depend on being lucky getting dispelled by him instead of his monkey, rather I could depend on him interrupting the dot cast when his interrupt was not on CD (also he did a bunch of damage).
Note: Brann WILL NOT interrupt Zekvir's self-healing cast, so you have to do that.

Just did it as a ret paladin 613 ilvl with 4 piece, took me 7:30 mins

brann at level 46 as healer with porcelain arrow and amorphous

most important thing is only use CDs to kill the add, interrupt his heal only and you can dispel his poison with freedom every single time. Good luck!

For any tanks struggling with this, there is a way to cheese it.

If you tank him at the entrance, inside that little space right by the door, you don't get any adds at all, he tries to spawn them but because of LoS it doesn't actually work.

Guessing if this gets known enough it'll be hotfixed asap, but right now it works. Gotta keep the target circle behind the "tip" of the triangle of the floor ornament by the entrance of the room.
Takes some patience to learn how to deal with all attacks with him stuck in there, and to not have him sneak out when you dodge stuff. Phase 1 is super easy this way, phase 2 takes some practice.

I did it this way at 607 ilevel Guardian, with a level 45 Brann as DPS with Earthmother and Amorphous both 4/4 (Reset until you get the haste/movement speed from Amorphous, the movement speed helps A LOT)
Any poison Brann failed to interrupt I just popped a few CDs and went kitty and back to bear quickly, and just kept my own interrupt for the regenerative carapace spell.

Just cleared it as a 611ilvl 2pc Arms Warrior with 25% haste (I main Prot), wielding a 619 Befouler's Syringe. Final attempt took 6 minutes 57 seconds, and healer Brann died twice.
Once I found out that the Poison DoT can be removed with Bladestorm and Avatar, I saved both of those skills for that purpose, as Brann's cleanse has a 1 minute cooldown, and interrupting both it AND the heal is impossible. Other than that, I focused the egg when I could, using Sweeping Strikes for a bit of extra damage on Zekvir, spell reflected as many fears as I could in phase 2 (can't reflect the fears in phase 1) and tried to keep the potion HoT at 4 stacks as much as possible by staggering when I picked them up. Brann dying was a scary part, but using Die by the Sword when he starts meleeing and otherwise just avoiding his attacks kept me alive until Brann came back by himself, trying to rez him was a complete no-go as the cast time is waaaay too long.

General guide to beating Zek'vir on ? difficulty:

1. ALL your DPS cooldowns should be on the cocoons, if you are not comfortable with being able to kill them quickly enough. Try to get a feel for how much you need to kill them, so you can split your cooldowns to deal with alternating adds. Zek'vir does not have an enrage timer, so slow and steady DPS on him will still work. Cocoons/adds MUST be killed. Number 1 priority.

2. Do not interrupt Enfeebling Spittle. If you can dispel Magic effects, then dispel it - MUST be able to dispel Magic. It is NOT a poison. Enfeebling Spittle is also a snare effect, so if you have skills or talents that remove snares, use them after he hits you with it, to remove it completely.

3. Interrupt Regenerative Carapace/Black Blood Carapace to prevent him healing. This is a must. If it goes off, it's not a wipe - But he will heal 20 Mil+ health.

4. If using Brann as a healer, time your potions. You want to try and remain at around 3/4ths HP minimum, to give you room if you need to alter your rotation on GCD.

Beyond this, it's just dodging his 'Skills'. Good luck.

I just did this on my 613 survival hunter.

Just a tip for any mages;/hunters (and anyone else who can lust and reset), I noticed that if you reset zek'vir and use bl while you're resetting him then when he comes back you'll still have 20-24ish seconds of lust left and your lust will be reset to use again.

Completed as a 607 frost mage with the hotfixes. Did try as arcane but found theres way too much moving in P2 for it to be "viable". Did have 4 piece, but have terrible trinkets for a little insight on gear. Some tips:
-Orb with veins on pull, you'll get the most bang for your buck on pull when theres not much going on. He'll always do a frontal followed by the fear at the start so you can plan that for big damage at the start
-Obvious one, but don't forget to eat branns buff food, it stacks with your own food
-Only interrupt heal
-Dispel the dot with Energized Barriers talent/Mass Barrier (Only used barrier to dispel when dot was on me)
-P1 I'm basically on top of Zekvir the entire time, makes moving way easier, just sidestepping his two frontals to avoid using blinks when possible, to save blink for emergency frontals that I can't sidestep (like eggs spawning not next to him)
-If you ever don't think you'll have the damage for an egg I.E. no flurrys, not a glacial ready, no ray you can mirror image so you can full focus an egg or full focus on boss

Build: CAEArhxZfsv/vllYUrQS3iw2nPYzsNLGzMmZWM4BmZmGjxYYmZGmBmZmZmZmZmZmZmZYmZZmmZ2mFIAAoFAAAAAAYBAAAAAAAA

-I only used Ray of frost on eggs with a flurry debuff. It will do ALOT of damage to the egg, varied between 30-60%. You will have Ray for every other egg if I recall. Otherwise glacial spiking shattering them.

-I personally saved lust and pot for second phase. If you need lust to burn get through P1 I wouldn't bother because, debatably, you'll have less time and less movement to damage eggs or even hit the boss in general with the three added mechanics being the shadow orbs, moving out of swirlies, and avoiding void gates.
-Many wipes happened on P3 due to dieing to the shadow orbs, my advice is just stay focused and look for the 4 shadow orbs that will spawn next to him. It's a visual at the corners of his model.

-Can completely ignore a spider by sheeping it if you're close to the kill, just know Ice lance might break it with cleave as I don't think the game smart checks CC targets with ice lance cleave.

- Can also try invising/shadowmelding to despawn a spider as I heard that works, but be warned I never tested myself

Brann was level 40 (Used Healer with Rank 4 Porcelain Arrow and Rank 1 Amorphous Relic)

-Used Alchemical Chaos flask, Tempered Potion, Mana Oil and some cheap buff food I had from leveling cooking.

- Took 70ish attempts to get down, a lot of deaths at the beginning of learning how much damage I needed for eggs and then ALOT of sub 20% deaths dieing to the shadow orbs because of not paying attention

As of today they may have fixed the scaling of Zekvir but now the void skin for the mount is bugged, says I need the achievement still. *shrugs*
*Edit: Was supposed to loot the void schematic off his corpse, appeared in my mailbox after awhile*

Completed as a 612 Survival Hunter after the hotfixes to make it so Brann can't tank him anymore. I used buff food, weightstones and flask but all low rank ones.

Used 4/4 Amorphous Relic and 4/4 Porcelain Arrowhead Idol and a level 33 Brann as healer. Had 4 piece tier and used single target talents.

Main strategy I used was to use a misdirect focus macro on Brann on pull, though only hitting it after I had pulled Zekvir with at least one ability myself. Using Misdirect before pull will just cause him to reset the second Brann has aggro. After my opener and Misdirect ended I tended to aggro for the rest of the fight. The most important thing to do as a hunter is know that Disengage cleanses the spittle dot effect, so save Disengage for after he casts that. Interrupt his heal and focus the eggs as soon as they spawn, dodge everything else.

I had my pet taunt off most of the time as Zekvir killed my pet very quickly. I still had the taunt keybound in case I needed it to tank an autoattack to give me time to heal up with Brann's potions.

One specifically weird thing I did by complete accident was nerf his self heal from his carapace ability by half, by using a Bee pet. Any Wasp pet should do as they have an anti heal ability that is always up. It cuts his self heal from 25% to 12.5%. While I still tried to kick every carapace cast I could, I did let one go off by mistake when I switched targets to an egg, but thanks to the random chance I was using a Bee pet the heal was pretty easy to recover from. 10/10, recommend Bee.

Completed today a Ret. iLVL 608, Level 38 Brann. Took me about 2 hours of attempts. Saved basically everything for eggs, usually even banking some holy power right before just in case I had to move and couldn't get the damage on the egg at first. Fight took a little over 12 minutes with that slow and steady approach. Burned some holy power on Word of Glory for the healing whenever brann got himself murdered or I took a bad couple hits.

Gear : ilvl 608. 2 Piece set, one trinket and weapon are not great.

Brann : lvl 38 Healer. Porcelain Arrowhead Idol and Amorphous Relic

No boss addons / timers. Just have a dps meater, default UI, and technically VuhDo installed for healing but not really in use here. I did this partially because I am stubborn and believe the game shouldn't need addons like this and also to prove you didn't need it.

Before nerfs, I had a hard time even dropping eggs below 20-30%. Now, I was able to do it in a couple hours, which I honestly found disappointing. I had hoped that it would be something I needed to keep gearing to take down. Figured a better weapon, 4 piece bonus, and raising ilvl would get me to a place where I could do it pre nerf. Oh well.

Little tip for bm hunters who want to actually get to use their pets in the fight, get a clefthoof and precast survival of the fittest, this will allow your pet to avoid the one shot and activate their passive, once your pet is hit cast exhiliration to get it back up to full and (at least for me) at this point zevkir will aggro onto you, from this point on it's the same dance on repeat, stay close to him to avoid the cone, run from fear, disengage the dot, interrupt the heal, and use all cooldowns on the egg (you can get away with casting dire beast or black arrow on zevkir every now and then cause of the short cooldown), phase 2 just make sure you stay close to him at all costs, most of my deaths were from just barely failing to outrun the cone or the fear. if your pet dies during phase 2 pray it died right before he casts his channel cause you can revive it towards the end of the channel

Edit: may as well throw in this info. Completed at Ilvl 610, had 2 piece set, lfr sureki zealots insignia and normal wings of shattered sorrow, heroic shade-touched silencer, 2 crit embellished, and 606 sacbrood. Had healer brann at level 27 with rank 4 arrow and rank 2 amorphous

Soloed the ?.? version today as mountain thane protection warrior @620 ilvl. Brann as dps with the aim shot and grow larger/smaller curious.

As a lot of others have said, never kick the dot he casts. Only kick the heals. Should the spider spawn, have CC for it. As prot warrior I had aoe silence, storm bolt, shockwave and aoe fear.

Took approximately 30 pulls. No BL or combat potion used, but it would help shorten p2 (it's intense).

Killed it again, since I forgot to record the first one. Will upload kill video as soon as I am allowed to. https://youtu.be/XCmzoUw4NUE

Soloed as 617 WW (although it's my offspec) with 4 set, no embellishments, etc.
I think it can probably be done as much lower item level as WW as the spec kind of soft counters the fight.
Talent Diffuse Magic and Meridian Strikes so you have ToD for every other egg, and keep dpsing during the 60% shield to get the CDR from Meridian, otherwise just standard ST build.
Brann is level 33 & healer with R4 Porcelain & R1 Amorpheus. I did try with him as DPS with Final Will instead (this idol does a LOT of damage) but it's not as consistent imo, and playing DPS you should already have the damage for the eggs, which is the only "hard" part of the fight. Well, that and also the boss may decide to randomly crit you for 3.5-4mil melee in a row (I've had my tempo ruined by on some pulls, just RNG). Every time you have to move to dodge abilities, try to take the boss back to where Brann's potions are afterwards. WW also has a lot of self-healing so his melee attacks shouldn't largely bother you unless you're unlucky.

The biggest piece of advice is to honestly be patient & play it safe. If you have ToD then you can just get near the egg and wait out his frontals and then dps it within range.
Save a SEF for every egg you don't have ToD for. I didn't save Xuen for any of them, but I did save SotW & WDP. If you SEF -> SotW -> RSK the egg is at 50% and then you can just dps it while dodging abilities.

The hardest part of the fight is around 30% where he has some really tricky overlaps, so you need to be careful but also don't mess about with the egg spawns. In the last part of the fight you regularly get Spike & Egg spawn overlaps, but there's no need to panic with the Spikes just move around the egg where possible or go out and then back in.

The worst overlap is probably where he spawns the Egg, then uses Spikes, then Fears (watch the orbs they spawn in P2) and then casts his heal. You really need to get the heal. As others have said - don't interrupt the dot, just Tiger's Lust or Diffuse. Brann will often dispel it off you too. I actually ended up missing an egg in the end but I did enough damage that I could just stun the add and kill it before it casts the stun.

The fight lasted 6:41 and I did about 650k DPS in the end, but 12% of that was ToD.

Good luck!

Not a terrible encounter for warlocks at all.

First, go destruction. Hero talents are dealers choice, but diabolist seemed to have more 'oomph', plus it gives soulburn circle for free (important). You dont need anything fancy in the spec tree, standard left-side build. Shadowburn is your best friend here.

Healer brann obviously, and use felhunter. Porcelain and amorphous for brann's skills worked just fine.

Take amplify curse. This gives an essentially permanent -70% casting speed debuff - tongues lasts for one minute, amplify curse is a 1min cd. Easy math.

If spittle goes out and brann doesn't dispel within two seconds, pop soulburn circle to remove the debuff.

Set a warning for when he's casting his carapace heal and you may be distracted with a cocoon so you can spell lock it.

Last, havoc on the boss when you're burning down the cocoon is literally free damage.

Did it today on an Outlaw Rogue, ilvl 615. Played with Brann lvl 46 as a healer, including Amorphous and Porcelain relics. Fight took me 6:16 min.

Not recommending to do it on a rogue, as the playstyle adds some RNG, see explanations below

The fight itself is not too crazy and just needs some practice. Talent-wise, use Iron Stomach and Numbing Poison for longer Casts and additional self heal. Also, play with Killing Spree as even a 1CP Killing Spree entirely removes the dot from Enfeebling Spittle. Using KS enables you to have Cloak of Shadows as some sort of "oh *!@#"-Button or even to deliberately use it to extend some burst damage windows to nullify the fear. Always kick his heal and else its avoiding stuff and focussing the adds.

It can be advised to delay switching to the adds for a moment, because depending on the spawn, its much better to wait out his frontal cone. Use evasion frequently, preferably in the barely avoidable one or two phases where Brann is unconscious. If you happen not to be able to kill the webs in time and the spider add spawns, remember to use kidney shot, cheap shot and/or blind, because you cannot waste your kick on the webbing cast.

However, it can be very frustrating as a rogue to do this, because you have to frequently use Vanish to pump dmg in the Crackshot Windows. It has occurred very often to me, that the boss resetted following a Vanish cast either because

- Brann was dead (he naturally gets more damage as you vanish quite often throughout the fight)
- Brann was just revived and focused the add instead of the boss so that he had no aggro on him
- and the most annoying thing: Brann really likes to run to the entrance when he has aggro and there he can be feared out of the room or jump back through the door to avoid any mechanic, making the boss reset. This has happened to me in about one third of the tries and as you can imagine, its somewhat tilting to have a reset at 10 or 15% boss HP.

You want to use spirit walk and Jet stream wind rush totem to get rid of the slow in case brann doesn't dispel you. I also had Thunderous Paws but you need ghost wolf to run out of the fears and frontals so I wouldn't count on that.
As others have said only use your interrupt for the heal, I used an interrupt focus macro, this one:
#showtooltip Wind Shear
/cast Wind Shear; Wind Shear

I waited with lust for p2 after he had used his channel, but make sure you always use your cds for the eggs and just chip away at zekvir himself (remember there is no enrage). Use Primordial wave for the adds for that sweet extra haste. Make sure you are staying close to Zekvir to be able to dodge his frontals, fears and other scary things.
I didn't use stone elemental (stone bro) because I was worried he would @#$% up the positioning of Zekvir (being able to stay close to him) and make the frontals huge
For the portals in p2, I made sure to always try to stay "outside" of them (don't just stand in the middle of them)

Brann lvl 40 "died" twice in my run (he will get up by himself after a while, DON'T RESS HIM) and I used him as healer with Idol of the Earthmother r4 and Amorphous Relic r4

I used Flask of Alchemical Chaos r2 and Sweet and Sour Meatballs (it was the only food I had lol). I used no potions besides HP ones.
The fight took 8 min and 26sec.

Hope this helps, GL ^^

They definitely nerfed this gentleman, and he is possible for at least some classes (can't verify for all).

I completed this yesterday (9/30/24) on a Retribution Paladin, 613 and 4-set, with an average weapon and trinkets. I didn't optimize anything as this is my off-spec and I went to just try it out and see how it goes. The only consumables I needed were a flask, food from being Earthen, and mana oil. It took me about an hour of attempts to get him down. I played Herald cleave spec to be able to still do a little boss damage while working on the adds. I used the Amorphous/Arrowhead relic combination.

The slow and steady approach seems to work fairly well. I focused on the eggs, saving Wake of Ashes for them every time, and then did damage to the boss as I could. Blessing of Freedom for the spittle cast, interrupt the heal on both phases. I waited a few seconds before swapping to the eggs to bait out his fear and frontal, then went all in on the eggs. I did have the egg pop a couple of times but it wasn't too bad as it was very low health and one stun was enough for me to finish it off. He didn't seem to hurt me too much, but I tried to off-heal myself as I needed and used defensive if I felt the need for it. I didn't end up needing bubble in the end, as I was saving it for some really bad intermixing.

There are a few awkward intersections on abilities in P2, however, which is where I died quite a few times. Sometimes you just won't have a way out, and I feel that part of killing him is getting decent patterns/positioning on that phase. I made sure not to let Brann go down as he was my 'healer' and was useful despite being feared most of the time. I had Eternal Flame up on him and on me most of the time. The fight took me around 7 minutes when I finally finished it, and overall wasn't bad. Once you get the dance down, it becomes easier to get through. Just play it safe and you should be okay.

A friend of mine also did it last night on a Feral druid with similar comments. There are some weird/annoying combinations in P2 that can just kill you without a real counterplay if you're in the wrong spot, but it's doable after a few tries and things lining up. Skip the spittle interrupt (clear with what you got, it's technically a snare), interrupt his heal, prioritize adds, and do damage to the boss in the downtime.

Did it today on 613 Arms Warrior with Slayer hero talents and Brann as healer.
Notes: only had 2/4 tier and my gear/trinkets were built for Prot spec, so not a super great Arms build going into this.

Taking Relentless Pursuit in the Slayer tree definitely saved me multiple times throughout the fight, as it allows Charge to break snares from spittle and fear.
I saved Avatar and Bladestorm for times when Brann didn't dispel spittle as those remove the snares as well. As tempting as it is to use those on eggs, don't. Save them for emergencies.
Nothing special for the eggs, but I did try to use Colossus Smash on them when I could and Sweeping Strikes to cleave Zekvir whenever he was near the eggs.
Patience is key for this fight. As much as I love to tunnel-vision zug zug with my axe, I found my better attempts were when I just focused on the mechanics and eggs, picking away at Zekvir when time allowed.

Good luck, fellow warriors!

Finally got it on my 611 WW monk with 4 piece. Had weapon buffs and food buff. Amorph and arrowhead relic with level 53 healer brann. (tried as a BM with damage brann and could not consistently get the eggs down fast enough.)

Eventually the first phase will be easy to get through and you can focus on learning the 2nd phase. The fear casts orbs out and shows a dim spot where they will spawn from. The portals that spawn around will shoot out a web that will grab you, and likely kill you, so don't stand in their line of sight with other portals. The undending spike ability zekvir does is something you will hope for because it's where you will get all of your damage in. The worst part of this fight will always be the eggs so save your CDs for those. The worst placement I found for the egg to land is in the top center of the room on that platform because you can get caught on the edges trying to get out of the fear or his frontal.

As a WW monk i kept TOD and SEF for the eggs and just used xuen on the opening for both phases and off cd after that. For enfeebling spittle, which looks just like regenerating carapace, you want to use anything that cancels a slow, so tigers lust for monk. (I also used diffuse magic for the extra help). Get a weakaura to help make sure you don't accidentally kick enfeebling spittle instead of regenerating carapace as you will be doing a lot more of the fight if you end up doing this. (10% health regen at phase 1 and 25% at phase 2. I tried fighting through one of these and wiped at 2%. Very fun.)

Once you have all of the mechanics down it will come down to your gear and a lot of rng regarding the egg placement and when he uses his fear or frontal. I would also say that it's highly dependent on brann as well because the time I finally got the boss down was when he stayed alive the entire time but it should be doable if he goes down if you save defensives. I've seen another WW monk do this challenge with the Mad Queen's Mandate trinket from the final boss in the raid so If you happen to have that then it should help a lot with bursting down the eggs. This fight did make me rage a good couple of times but eventually you will get lucky with the egg placement and which ability he uses, like trying to regen while you're running at an egg. Good luck.

You need Barreiras de Energia for this fight.
You are basically only kicking his Carapaça Infusa em Sangue and let his Cusparada Debilitante go through. You then remove the debuff by casting a barrier.

I started the fight using Mirror Image and Icy Veins and then saved my cooldowns mostly for the add.
An add spawns? Use Icy Veins.
Another add spawns? Use Mirror Image to have Zekvir playing with them.
Frozen Orb and Comet Storm straight on the add.
I also used hero on the first add in p2.

Beside the add spawns this fight doesn't seem like a dps race. Just play the mechanics nice and clean, stand near Zekvir to dodge his frontals more easily. Pick up Branns heal potions on the ground. In p2 I was mostly only doing some instant Frostfire Bolts, Flurrys and Ice Lances on Zekvir. Very few Glacial Spikes because there weren't many time frames for them (I only cast 14 throughout the whole fight).
If Brann is knocked out just wait the 30s for him to recover. Or use Mirror Image to buy some time to rezz him.

And whenever you need to blink out of his frontal just don't blink towards the stairs.

I killed Zekvir in ~8 minutes (541k dps).

It's deeply ironic that the despite being THE solo class/spec... BM Hunter cannot realistically do this fight. He will absolutely 1 shot the pet and Brann will go down often too if hes got aggro.

Completed this morning as a 615 BM Hunter with a 46 Healer Brann (Porcelain Arrowhead and Amorphous). Due to the previously mentioned bug causing pets to be one-shot (pets take twice as much damage as the player and Brann do on melee autos, even accounting for crits), the counterintuitive strategy for BM Hunter to complete this is to face-tank the boss and keep aggro off of your pet with Play Dead micro. Disengage to remove Enfeebling Spittle, hold BW for the adds, and lust p2. Very doable with our mobility once you get the rhythm down; mostly notable in that I have gained a new level of empathy from this role-reversal for what my pet has been dealing with for the past 12 years...

Completed today as a 609 Frost DK. Took advantage of the Brann food buff trick for extra stats, standard Healer Amorphous/Arrowhead setup. I unloaded everything in opener except Reaper's Mark and saved it for eggs. I would also save Pillar of Frost for eggs if one was about to spawn and Reaper's Mark wasn't up yet to make sure I got it down. I did use drums during P2 after I was able to reliably get to that phase. Took me around 50 tries and the best piece of advice I could give would be to use SPACE as a resource appropriately.

I'm seen a lot of comments with more of the same general advice like "dodge aoes" and "always interrupt the heal" but here's my biggest takeaways as a DK:

1. BAIT THE CONE. This was almost entirely what was killing me and ultimately what led to my victory. I would see the egg spawn and had to train myself to not immediately run to it, but to instead walk to the side of the egg in order to bait the Claw Smash. Sometimes he'll use fear or spittle instead, but you should always expect a Claw Smash shortly after an egg just in case. I tried to always be ready to move out of fears or aoe's so I never had to use Death's Advance or Wraith Walk for anything OTHER than to close distance on eggs.

2. Watch the health pots. There's a LOT of effects flying around and its easy to not notice swirlies or claw smash, but even more so Brann's health pots on a red-colored floor. Try to always hover near them and be aware of your space. If he decides to crit smack you and you have to use your mobility (if you even have any) to get to pots on the other side of the room, you're boned. Staying near pots in case you don't have AMS up and Brann is dead (which is frequent in P2) will keep you alive.

3. Spittle is rough. It will frequently kill you and you'll just have to get used to it. I tried to regularly cycle AMS between Brann cleanses, but you should be ready when Brann is dead in P2. Icebound Fortitude will help the damage intake if neither of those are an option, and Licheborne also has a 15% DR if you can avoid using it if you get feared. Hovering around Brann's HP pots (if there are any) will keep you alive through the damage without any mitigation. And lastly, have Algari Healing Potions for a quick save. They saved my run on the last pull.

4. Believe it or not, you CAN recover from mistakes! My winning clear had 2 eggs hatch, myself getting feared once, and having 3 Spittles go through during P2. Death Grip can interrupt the spiders so you can save your interrupt for the heal, Licheborne can break you out of a fear, but if you don't get feared you can save it for Leech/DR during Spittles in P2 when Brann is dead. Because this fight has no enrage you can use runic power on DS instead of Frost Strike to stay alive. Death Strike CAN and WILL save your ass during P2 when Brann inevitably dies, AMS and other mit is down, and another Spittle gets through.

5. Don't give up! This is a marathon, and not a race. Learn the mechanics, learn what works best for your class, invest in some cheaper consumables to help out, and try to keep your cool. You SHOULD ultimately accept that sometimes RNG CAN screw you during this fight, but I promise you can mitigate most of it and you can succeed!

Hello, i would like to share some tips for fellow BM hunters ,did it with 610 ilvl,healer brann earthmother amorphous relics.

1.Start the fight without pet to build some aggro while gathering all healing pots from ground( they work as hots even if ur full).Now you can summon ur pet with growl off, tenacity did the work for me, ferocious died a lot.If pet dies pick the right time between his spells to revive it ,brann dies alot ignore him till he comes back.

2.macro your interrupt to /tar zekvir and stay close to him to dodge things ,for cone attack run through boss if ur close to him ,macro dark ranger hero spell to /tar egg cocoon and use both this and bestial wrath (will be up for every egg if u keep kill commanding) only for eggs .In case the spider spawns stun it with intimidation and kill it.Wait for the spittle spell to be casted on u and dispel it with disengage.

3.Rest is dodging things ,cones, swirls on ground and keep away from mirrors, turtle is our escape button so u can make only one mistake.

4.Keep urself calm its a long fight even at 8 % think you have to keep dodging and dpsing eggs as ur main priority rather than burning him down and ur set. Good luck.

Did this today. 613 Prot Paladin.

Took about couple of hours to learn and it's really all about CD management and eggs. On my kill I had zero hatches.
Some tips for other Prot Paladins: Dont attempt the door strat, most of your spells just wont hit the boss. No SoR, no Cons, no EoT, and no Empyrean Hammers (From SoR).

I talented Quickened Invocation, for shorter DT CD. That will then line up perfectly with EoT for every egg. Talented For Whom the Bell Tolls, for more egg burst. And then take it slow, and focus on avoiding everything. If an egg hatched, which it did on some attempts, it's relatively each to deal with the add if you've also talented Moment of Glory, infinite AS for silences/Interrupts.

I had Brann as healer. And what finally made the kill seem possible, and way less RNG, was ignoring what most people say here and fishing for the DMG buff from brann's Amorphous Relic (by reseting the boss at the door) instead of Movement Speed + Haste. 12% more damage made each egg alot easier to handle. Just make sure to keep an eye on Zekvir's cooldowns and be ready for his fears. Use Defensive CDs to deal with @#$% moments, like badly placed Claws, or Bubble for if you mess up a Fear.

The Talent build I was using. I use Hammer of Righteousness for more egg burst.

Just solo'd it as a 608 WW with 2 set. Healer brann with amorphous and earthmother idol. He got his heal cast off twice so fight took longer than it should have, around 11 minutes. Fight is relatively easy once you learn the mechanics as long as RNG is nice and you don't get back to back white hit crit

Soloed Zelkvir tier ? with my Havoc Demon Hunter!

I used the following talents for one: CEkAEDLOxe3SEPP2R8Hw6bhoSYmZMzMzgZmZMmJmZGAAAAAAwsMMm5BMzwMzsNbzyYGMDssBLziZMMbaaMmZGD2A. This setup focuses on maximizing my damage output and survivability, which is crucial for taking down Zelkvir effectively.

iLvl 618 4set
Brann lvl 39 Porcelain Arrowhead Idol (Rank1) & Amorphous Relix (Rank4)

Potions/Buffs used : Beledars Bounty - Tempered Potion - Flask of Alchemical Chaos - Algari Mana Oil - Algari Healing Potion - Augment Rune

Start the fight by using ur usual opener but without VENGFUL RETREAT to increase your damage and survivability.
We can remove debuff with our Vengeful Retreat so always keep using it for this one!

Keep an eye on your health and utilize Blur to mitigate incoming damage (best used when no Metamorph is up).

I managed to always keep my Eye beem cooldown exactly on point with the egg spawn, so keep your cd for this one. Essence break always used on egg!

Dodge everything!. I kept my Fel rushs for handy situations.

Always interrupt his regen ability

The fight is extremely frustrating on a BDK with a DPS Brann, but very much doable with 610+ ilvl. Sadly, it is more random than hard, but it gets much easier with every buff to your dps (or when Brann decides to focus the cocoons/spiders).

If you learn the mechanics, survivability is not much of an issue, so you should focus dps-oriented (and mobility-oriented) talents and trinkets. And put Zekvir on focus for @focus Congelar Mente. Kick the cast always as late as possible/comfortable. This way more of Zekvir's abilities get off cooldown and he is less likely to spawn cocoons.

Try to keep Zekvir in the middle and, as soon as he spawns a cocoon, try to get to it as soon as possible (while not leaving Zekvir too far behind). Cocoons/spiders are the worst part of the encounter, so always leave your dps bursts for the cocoons. And if the stars align, you will kill them before they hatch (but it is very likely that many of them do).

Then, when the cocoons hatches into a spider and gets kicked by Brann, do not stun it (Asfixiar) until it starts to cast again; if it doesn't get kicked, stun it so Brann doesn't waste his kick on it. If Asfixiar is on cooldown, use your grips to cancel the cast or Fortitude Congélida to ignore it.

It is quite easy to outheal the poison if Brann doesn't kick it, but it is also good to block it with Carapaça Antimagia to preserve charges of Avanço da Morte.

Use Avanço da Morte whenever you cannot escape Zekvir's fears or frontals in time.

In my experience, it is not worth it to use Purgatório because whenever it saves your death you are probably dead anyway.
