Убил в 8 уровне вылазки ретри паладином, Бранн был 21 уровня, 589il. Перед этим собрал все бафы в вылазке.
Тактика была следующая: вначале боя нужно позволить Бранну взять агро и не перехватывать его. Тут самое главное для меня было избежать броска воска и сохранить как можно больше КД на защиту от сгорания. Иногда Бранн не хотел дамажить, почему не знаю. Не всегда кд откатываются вовремя и мана может закончиться, поэтому обязательно использовать зелья!
Примерно на 40% перехватил агро и сосредоточился на дамаге, не забывая отхиливаться всеми возможными способами и использовал все! скилы по кд

This seems pretty overtuned for solo players. In a 1:49 fight, Waxface did **25 million** damage to my Ret Paladin. I had Brann healing, used defensives for every Burn Away, used a potion, used Lay on Hands, and was using 1/3 of my holy power on healing... and still came very close to dying. Delve 6 at 578 item level.

Feels like both Wax Throw and Burn Away do 30-50% too much damage. I don't know how you'd do this on a non-healing spec, other than "Let Brann solo it"... which feels unintended to me.

Recommendations: Don't stack your lights.

Remember, if you put it down it doesn't burn out.
You can use things like Heroic Leap to severly limit the fuel usage. Again, put them down next to each other (without consuming). Think of a venn diagram. From the reset point you could actually have three areas lit up.

This will allow you to not worry about fuel for the boss fight - that was a huge win for me.

The 'Burn Away' phase for me (as a prot warrior) was too much - so I had to put Brann in healer mode.

He'd throw down the green goo, I'd get out.
He'd 'Burn Away' I'd pop Spell Reflection and hop in the green goo collecting Brann's healing potions.

Once the fuel issue was solved for the mechanics didn't feel so bad.

Hope this helps someone.

Tip for Night Elves: Use shadowmeld liberally as a threat drop so that Brann has aggro. This will put all melee damage and wax throws on Brann.

I did solo L8 Delve as a ilvl 580 fury warrior and I opened with all cooldowns to take a good chuck of his health at the start. Once those ended, I shadowmelded to give Bran threat. After that I just made sure to stay below Brann in threat (using the built in Blizzard threat meter) until shadowmeld and CDs were back off cooldown and repeated the same process. Even with Brann set to healer, grabbing every potion, using victory rush and enraged regen on cooldown...it was still pretty close. This was far more difficult than the other L8 delves I completed.

Had two attempts at a T8 Waxface. Once with a full group, and once as a duo.

With the full group, waxface's Burn Away would hit for between 1.5 mil and 2.5 mil. Standing in the green puddle would absorb one of those (I think) but nothing more. He does like 3, I think per cast. So not survivable without cooldowns. But unless your dps is high enough, he does this every like 12-15s, I don't think it's survivable for DPS.

Later in the day, I found a duo partner for all the other delves. He was a DH tank and played really great. So I asked him if he's up for WaterWorks. We do it again as a duo and the boss was a cake walk. Hit for 700k per tick. With defensives he didn't bring me bellow half health.

So, until blizzard fixes this, you need to do it, IMHO, in a duo. Not 3, not 4. Duo with bran healer + tank + dps. Doesn't need to be a geared tank either. But they should have 7 mil hp to make the dungeon easy.

UPDATE: As of 14/09/24 it would seem the damage of Burn Away has been fixed and only does about 400k a tick now with no defensives as an ilvl 590 prot warrior. Unsure if its just the variant of the delve I have just done but way way way easier now.

Just did this as a Protection Warrior with the below build at ilvl 587.

I had Brann in healer spec (level 19) with majority of his abilities being defensives. Very tough fight and definitely feel that its over tuned.

It seems the poison circles reduce one tick of the Burn Away then it deals full damage. Pretty much for every Burn Away I had Shield Wall active in some way alongside Spell Reflect to reduce magic damage by 25%.

Shield Wall x2 and when casting Avatar granted a 4sec window of shield wall which I used after standing in the poison pool for one tick. I then used other defensives such as Victory Rush, Bitter Immunity, Rally, Last Stand etc during scary moments. Constantly building rage when just melee attacks and soaking everything else with ignore pain where possible. Lots of trial and error for sure but is doable just takes a lot of patience and timing.

Admittingly didn't do it within the 5 life's solo so didn't get bountiful chest at the end which is a bummer but I now know what I must do to consistently do this on tier 8.

Edit:: Also one very important thing which helped massively is where the bridge is where theirs an air totem DONT pick it up leave it there as you cant get the poison if standing in it. I placed the air totem from the spawn point (or the one just before you enter boss room) directly behind the stairs of the bridge to create to safe spaces to move around in. Allowed me to ignore the counting down of the air totem thing as well as focusing purely on the fight.

Able to solo Waxface as a Havoc DH 595ilvl

At start of fight used every major dps cooldown to deal as much DMG as possible.
Then used Shadowmeld (Night Elv Racial) to drop aggro.
Now Bran as healer has aggro. Then I made sure to never regain aggro whileist still deal do dmg.
Once Shadowmeld off cooldown I would re-pop major dmg cooldown and repeat usage of Shadowmeld to drop aggro.

Regarding Burn Away!
If at 100% health it would never kill me. With Brann tanking I would always be at 100% hp whenever Burn Away! starts. Once damaged by Burn Away! Brann would drop 3 potions on me and It would bring me back to 100%

Rinse and repeat till hes dead

Just killed tier 8 on 577 ret pala with healing brann.

Fought on the bridge without picking up the candle, focused on healing and soaked the poison just as Burn Away! finished its cast, does seem to get rid of the poison and stop a tick of damage. Not sure if its been fixed but i was sceptical doing it after reading these comments, but after dying twice and then reading these comments I managed to one shot him.

No shadowmeld and I was able to tank the wax shots too

Комментарий от Rakecha

Okay, so for Waxface. There is an Air Purifier behind him, you can walk around him and onto the bridge. You have almost the whole top of the platform to work with if you just leave the candle alone.

Melee + tank at the front of the platform at a corner, ranged at the back of the platform. Ranged shouldn't have to deal with poison or moving at all. They can pump and healer can heal in safety. Still need personals for Burn Away but this method makes him a joke.

Комментарий от Neldorn

Wiped so many times but doable as VDH 566 ilvl on level 8.

Fighting on the bridge with fallen totem, healing Bran, pop defensives, Meta during AoE phase.

Комментарий от kam95

i completed a t8 bountiful delve as a 579 demonology warlock.

i tried the trick with the pool of poison aaaand nope... doesnt work right now.

Brann tanked most of the fight (toggled off the pet taunt) but when he is too low he lose the aggro so be careful.

i tried to full myself on every Burn Away with Brann pots and i tried to use a defensive. If i had no defensive i was trying to keep 1 pot up for it and use a mortal coil OR healthstone after a couple of ticks.

Solo'd on tier 8 as a 590 Lightsmith Prot Pally with Brann as a healer.

Fought on the bridge without holding the air totem, I ate the wax throw and ran away from the poison aoe. I used the poison pools to soak burn away, healing through the later ticks.

I will be running this again with a friend later to confirm, but burn away removed the poison pools (usually had 1-2 active pools when aoe was cast). Pools did soak one tick of burn away, so if I set up the pools to be touching, I could sometimes soak 2 ticks of burn away. I didn't have to use GoAKs but I did use Blessing of Spellwarding to soak one burn away (with one pool on the ground) at the end to burn him down.

My recommendation would be to line up the poison pools to try and get two soaks using defensives / healing. Other than that avoid poison aoe as someone in general chat said it one-shot them doing over 8 million.

I solo it as DK Frost 590 ilvl and lvl 20 healer Brann (Tier 8 Delve)

Strat? What it was said on comments:

1) Fight on the bridge and DO NOT pick the air totem, that way you don't have to worry about toxicity.
2) Start the fight letting Brann take aggro, you just stay there watching. Believe me, Brann will not die.
3) Do small damage (in order to keep Brann tanking him), use some defensives and pick the potions Brann will throw you (along with some other healings)
4) Burn Away will clear all the floor so you don't need to worry about that.

Keep the fight like this until he's low enoguh for you to kill him with your cds.
This makes the fight extremely easy, it almost feels like cheating (maybe blizzard change this aggro thing in the future)

Комментарий от Demoox

DK Frost, 585 ilvl. After several tries I finally figured out how to approach this fight.

Firstly, it's imperative to fight exclusively on the bridge and never pick up the totem. The principle is simple: always keep your runic power as high as possible. As long as Waxface doesn't cast “Burn Away”, there's no reason to use your Death Strike (unless you feel you're going to die).

1.
- Avoid puddles
- Stack your runic power (while trying to do as much damage as possible, send all your cd's).
- Also, try as much as possible to maintain your health by stepping on Brann's potions.
- It's important to consider using a potion in extreme cases, i.e. less than 20% health and unable to cast a Death Strike.

3. When Waxface is about to throw “Burn Away”, run straight at him, even if there's a puddle - it will disappear immediately - and use your Death Strikes.

- If you feel you won't have enough runic power for the next Burn Away, position yourself near the potions and wait for the cast.

Well I just died on T8 because the first auto attack he hit me with did 30,264,972 damage.

Absolutely $%^&ing insane.

Arcane mage, ilvl 580. T8 solo. At first as was just having a terrible run, to the point I had to reset when I had 1 revive left. Then I tried the following and it worked.

Healer Brann and step on pots.
Whenever he does Burn Away... just run away! lol, seriously, just get as far as possible from the mob until you can tell its AOE no longer hits you. As a mage, blink works wonder here. Otherwise, use barriers or other defensive stuff when he hits with the wax attack. Mirror images and the phoenix are great to take damage, as they will get focused before you. I guess a DoT centered class could do better since because of me getting far away on its special attack I had to speed down the encounter to focus on survival.

Also, as a set up, you can pick up and drop the air at the entrance and put it before the bridge, that way you have an extended air area. Do not pick up the bridge one, otherwise they will get combined, and you want 2 air areas. During the Burn Away phase there will be occasions where you will need to be outside of the safe area and thats fine, you dont get dmg, your max hp will be reduced a little until you can get back into the clean air area. So the whole fight you want to lure it to one of the two sides of the bridge, have it cast Burn Away, and run to the other one, rinse, repeat, ?, profit!

Completed Bountiful T8 Solo as an Assasination Rogue at 583 ilvl.

Brann config:
1. Healer
2. Idol of the Earthmother (R1)
3. Relic of Sentience (R1)

Strategy:
1. Dropped totem near the stairs so two totems would be active.
2. Tricks of the trade kept on cooldown.
3. For the first throw wax, use Crimson Vial
4. For the first 'Burn Away' CoS.
5. Refresh dots, refresh Tricks.
6. Second Throw wax, vanish, re-open with standard rotation.
7. Use your Tea for mastery buff.
8. Sit. In. Brann's fire.
9. At least use some mana oils.

GLHF!

Tips:
1. Feint for 'Burn Away.' Use Crimson Vial to top up.
2. Algari Healing potions do NOT stack with Cavedweller's Delight; use if you think you'll die (under 30% HP).
3. Keep Tricks up on Brann.
4. If you vanish, make sure it's near Waxface, or you will reset him. Vanish is to restart rotation or when you need to reapply Deathstalker's Mark. If you can use this AND mitigate throw wax, it would be optimal.

As a 589 warlock on T8 solo, the key was putting Brann on healer and picking Soulburn talent for higher sustain. It was much easier to healthough all specials without too much special. Grimoire with Voidwalker also gives a quick boost to health if burn away catches you in a rough spot.

Комментарий от Develon

not really related to this mob but since his name is Waxface i am always reminded of the troll player on nostalrius back then.
you could see him in world chat everyday just chatting with people and progressing still.

what a nice memory, i loved nostalrius.

I have no tips for solo'n this guy but if you're in a group remember to bring some Бинты из паутинной ткани

Комментарий от Moin

Because of Сгорание, I strongly recommend to switch Brann's role to healer before engaging Воскоморд.

Комментарий от Kashiz

Just soloed this as a 589 mage. Wiped over several occasions.. - The key here, was making Brann Healer.. Was much easier - 1shot when healer, wipefest as dps.

Комментарий от frankiecm

Completed Tier 7 today with my Fury Warrior 582.
Bran as a healer makes this fight a cakewalk.
Idol of the Earthmother
Relic of Sentience

Step on the potions as needed during AoE even if they are on top of green poison and profit.

Heck this guy.

Комментарий от dexxter2010

I am a Destro Warlock with an iLevel of 580 and fought this guy in a Delve level 7. It was an easy fight using my Voidwalker as a tank and Brann as a healer. I basically just DPSed Waxface using all my CDs but being careful not to pull aggro. Whenever my HP dropped I just grabbed the nearest flask dropped by Brann, and my health never dropped below about 70%. I never even had to heal my Voidwalker. The fight took just over 2.5 minutes with Chaos Bolt, Incinerate and Wither causing most of my damage to him.
