Thanks for the video. I have been struggling with this fight, and unfortunately, after watching your video, I learned that I've not been doing anything wrong. This fight is totally RNG. Even if you do everything right, Brann can just sometimes not cleanse the DOT off you, even if he isn't feared. Sometimes he just won't do it. This means that I will eventually kill the fight if I keep consistently trying, but I am at the mercy of Brann doing what he needs to do. It's an awful mechanic and if they just made it happen half as frequently it would be fine, but my AMS literally can't deal with it. Dogshit fight, and I even completed the mage tower challenge on every spec back in Legion.
Did it today on my 619 frost dk, heres what I can contribute: His rotations can be a bit rng but he will never repeat same ability twice. Horror spawns are random across the room if he didnt claw smash recently you wanna pull him to the horror hatching because you dont wanna get caught with your pants down in a wide cone when killing horror or you will likely get 1 shot. Managing horrors is basically everything because rest is just dodging mechanics which is why for eg I kept pillar and reaper for it and happily enough he spawns horrors about the 45 sec cd mark so you will always have it up and basically negate that rest is just safety dance and its pretty fast paced you need to keep your cool on my kill attempt I ate a fear at 6 mil my heart stopped but I was lucky, in second phase tiniest mistake means wipe as almost every ability will 1 shot you except the dot. Happy hunting.
I had a bit of a dicier clear at i611. I tried with your build but since I wasn't quite used to it, it didn't work as well. Then I switched to the Disease build and slowly but surely got through. Some of the add spawns were very dodgy and I didn't manage to kill them before they hatched but with Blinding Sleet, Death Grip and a bit of luck, I managed to get through them.
can you link your talent trees for this fight??? i don't play unholy, i main BDK and play FDK when i want damage, but i wanna try UDK for this fight now
Good job. Unholy is the only DK spec I didn't try ?? after the nerfs due to me being a tank main and therefore having zero haste. I don't think it's doable as a tank due to low damage output on the eggs, but _maybe_ as Frost if the stars align due to weird spell sequencing RNG.
I have a friend who did it as blood dk, this is his character: worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-gb/character/us/jubeithos/orkky You'd want Brann as a dps (same relics as I used) and just save cds for eggs. Deathbringer marrowrend procs chunk the egg really hard, so it can be worth to hold them for the egg and just slow and steady the boss. Phase 2 if brann isn't up for the egg is defs the hardest for blood, but he can still sometimes use final will while he is down, which helps a lot for the egg.
Legit just go frost even with suboptimal stats and 2h you can easily do it cause if the on demand damage… I was really disappointed as a long time unholy main tbh
@@thereisnospoon7054 I was trying frost b4 the recent hotfix nerfs and it was the only spec that could get down the eggs semi-reliably. Which should be easier now with the changes.
@@w829l5 Yeah, shame that dk cant do that with wraith walk either. You're right about the DoT being tied to the slow, arms warrior for example was the first melee to kill zekvir after the brann nerfs (before this most recent tuning) partly because of that.
Amorphous relic (from Brann) rolled hp+dmg (the up arrow buff) and dk stamina talent. The haste+movespeed is still really good if the relic gives that instead.
I think warror is SUPA good for it with the charge talent removing the poison DoT and bladestorming immuning the appplication it deals with the DoT easily. Their mobility for the egg is too. The healing is the problem tho so need to rely on brann's potion things a lot.
The fight is too RNG based. most of it depends on what Brann is doing and where he is standing. his frontals are also random/depend on where Brann is standing, what skills he casts are also random, no fight is the same as the last which proves the randomness. It's a stupid fight. I feel bad for the people who have done 100's of attempts. Blizzard needs to do better and actually test their "hotfixes" and mechanics. It is clear with how this fight has gone that they don't test anything. But yet we'll keep pumping these clowns billions of dollars a year. LUL
It can be rng with the frontal claw onto brann, but you just always play like it's going to go on you. Long as you keep him near the middle, you should have enough time to dodge the claw, but need to be extra careful if you have the poison slow too. I feel like after the recent hotfixes it's much more approachable.
What Ive noticed the most is that some times bran doesnt put down pots when the fight starts, and doesnt until I die. Sometimes bran doesnt dispell at all, others hes the fastest gun in the west. The order Zekvir casts his abilities isn't always the same, the heal and the claw change up sometimes. And the most annoying to me is the claw hitbox, its bigger then the visual, if I stand just outside the edge of the fear I dodge it, if stand 5 feet away from the claw i get hit. Almost everything being a one shot and the randomness of both the boss and brann make this a pain in the ass... Got him to 40% a couple of times with around 50 tries at 596 FDK but i think i need more gear still. If I dont get right on the egg when it spawns with Pillar I can't kill it, and sometimes if I do zekvir claws me from across the room and Ive no way out
You're one of the best wow streamers i watch! Nice job on the achievement!!
wow tysm

Yeah the mage tower was defs more fun to do, but you'll get it for sure.
That's the only thing I hate about this BS fight, straight up RNG.

grats on the kill!
Tyvm mate 🍻 your guide gave me the groundwork I needed.
I had a bit of a dicier clear at i611. I tried with your build but since I wasn't quite used to it, it didn't work as well. Then I switched to the Disease build and slowly but surely got through.

grats on the kill!
was tilted, kept wiping at 10-20%. watched this video, downed it 5 pulls later. I attribute my kill to you. TY
Grats dude!
I miss you're content, where did you go ;-;
got it thx for your help
grats!
@@Arkvoodle1000 got a weak aura for yelling at me when he heals and then it was fine.
Nice video, helped me clear it on my dk! :)
wow good on ya mate!
Just got it with this build at 613, thankyou!
grats!
can you link your talent trees for this fight??? i don't play unholy, i main BDK and play FDK when i want damage, but i wanna try UDK for this fight now
Sure thing man:

It's easiliy soloable as an 310 AFF warlock with healer bran and interrupt pet. Just save CDs for the web. You will hit foth boss and web anyway.

Bruv... are you doing it on mythic cause that sounds unrealistic...
I assume you mean 610.

been trying this for an hour as a 609ilvl unholy dk, i just cant kill the webs fast enough
Yeah it can be rough, defs need cds for the egg. I also use a /petattack macro to direct my pets to the egg as I'm running to them

@@Arkvoodle1000 i just don't know the frost rotation at all, the best i've done on unholy was getting him to 50% so i might just keep trying that
@@mystgreen good luck!
I think death's advance clears the poison since it's considered a slow.
it sadly doesn't, you can see that at 1:33 to 1:35
@@Arkvoodle1000 hmm, that's lame. Disengage works and I'm pretty sure freedom does as well since the dot comes tied with a slow effect.

Great guide but, whats that banger song playing???
Thanks! The first song is Ghost by Envoi and the second song is Monster by Heart-Set Self Destruct
How do you have 7k HP at ilvl 612?
Amorphous relic (from Brann) rolled hp+dmg (the up arrow buff) and dk stamina talent. The haste+movespeed is still really good if the relic gives that instead.
warriors having a tough time here :P

@@MultiJotaM the cross room claw got me so many times haha, best i could do was try to keep zekvir near the middle so it wasnt as wide
worst build ever for this boss. I died way earlier.
