The biggest threat of that entire fight is this stupid raised platform leading to the treasure room. I can't say how many times I died on Tier ?? because I couldn't see his frontal or got caught by one of his other mechanics (mostly the swirlies in P2) because I tried to dodge by jumping up the platform. Stay away from it if possible and be extra cautious if an egg spawns there.

[@Ifans13]

Just did as 611 ret pala. Some tips: Talent unbound freedom not just for movement speed but macro to focus cast on Bran. It will remove dot on BOTH of you. I failed a few times due to bran dying. With this you only need the occasional wog or LOH him. Purposely get your mana low before fight by FOL and Bran gives you food buff which stacks with other food buffs. I specced vengeful wrath instead of divine toll talents since I had to range attack egg quite a bit. GL and heart proper going in the end!

[@silverlinegaming3933]

Grats on the kill still gearing my self at 563 as a prot/ret pally getting close little by little.

[@psychelicious5003]

Priests: Don't even try on a healer. You don't have an interrupt. Pick the talent that allows your Fade to cleanse snares. Spittle is a snare. Keep torrent for the webs, keep dots on Zekvir at all times and use spare instant casts on him. When you Fade to cleanse spittle, keep close to Zekvir. He will target Brann but he can still target you with the cone. If he's too far, you're dead. Using the macro to drop feather underneath you immediately is very helpful. If you really need to get Zekvir off of you, use Fade and if he spittles you - either Brann will cleanse it OR in an emergency, cleanse it with your shadow cloud (literally forgot what it's called). Brann on heal. When he dies, use desperate prayer and vampiric embrace to endure til he's back up again.

[@liveshowfieldy]

If you’re doing this as rogue, outlaw is a good pick as you can talent into killing spree which also dispels the spittle, allowing you to save cloak for an emergency later on.

[@AntriochMalGanis]

Mages can spec into Energized Barriers (don’t spec ice block as ice cold is far better for other situations / healing while still being able to dps and move) use prismatic / fire / ice armor and it’ll take off enfeebling spittle. So save that barrier armor for that enfeebling spittle cast to take the slow and avoid all damage from it and focus interrupting the heal and you’re 100% golden for that harder difficulty.

As a warlock, you won't need a tanking pet; he does moderate damage. You then can use an imp to dispel yourself or the dog to interrupt him. They, however, die very fast if they end up in his casts, you might wanna go for sacrificing your pet.

[@eivind261093]

A thing to note about your keybinding guide: The healer specs are recommended to bind their dispels to one of the mouse buttons. If you're playing with mouseover casting, or using mouseover macros (which, at this point, I feel most healers are pretty likely to be doing), THIS DOES NOT WORK - at least using the Blizzard unit / raid frames. The Blizz unit frames will "eat" anything they consider to be a mouse click, which includes ALL your mouse buttons - unless you use software outside the game to bind your mouse buttons to a button on your keyboard instead. Any ability that realistically needs to be quickly targeted to a specific target, especially if the target is some degree of random, and especially if the target is an ally, should probably not be bound to any of your mouse buttons... despite the fact that the mouse buttons are where you would, for convenience, want to bind them. You're perfectly fine to mouse over a player's model and cast with a mouse button - but the moment you try to do it on a unit frame, whether it's the focus frame, target frame, party frame, raid frame, anything, the button will simply not react. I was not aware of this, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why my dispel wasn't doing anything in a Mythic Stonevaults earlier this afternoon....

[@SirSnoozebutton]

Regarding the removal of slows, Monks can also spec into "Swift Art" in their class tree, which is a passive that causes Roll to also remove snares, but it has a 30 sec internal CD. This means you can just alternate roll and tiger's lust to remove the debuff. For Demon Hunters, Netherwalk doesn't remove the debuff. But, they have Vengeful Retreat in their class tree, which only has 25 sec CD, or 20 for Havoc if you spec into Tactical Retreat which is common in most builds anyway. Dwarf/Dark Iron Dwarf can also remove the slow with their racial.

Came to say this! Monk is perfect for this fight and removes almost all the difficulty with the correct talents.

[@danieldoesthings8595]

After what feels like 400 pulls and 20+hours over the course of a week I got zekvir on ?? difficulty! Thanks for your tips! I found all of them useful to get the kill! As a bonus I feel like I greatly improved as a wow player. I no longer click spells really, all keybinds (I use an azeron hand keyboard). And I learned the true value of using the mouse as a quick camera too which unlocked diagonal movements more often for melee, a real game changer! Had to use phials, potions, got my gear gemmed, enchanted, etc. I went in as an ilvl 612 BM monk and had to go WW spec, but dps I also improved to get up to 550k consistently! (Tank gear makes it slow, on my kill zek got off that 25% heal but I pushed through! Took me ~13mins) I also kept up morale and improvement by starting a log and writing down each time I failed of why I died, what percent zekvir was around, and what I could have done differently to improve my strat or work on a new mech getting dialed in. If you are persistent the benefits are much more than just the mount and title!

As WW monk spec into magic defusion. Use it to remove the poison, if you get another venom you can also use tigerslust which also removes the debuff. When the egg spawns dont instantly go for it, wait for the next follow up cast to kick it and then use cds to focus down the eggs. The rest is only dodge and damage when possible, dont be greedy.

[@SirSnoozebutton]

Just spec into "swift art" in your class tree, which causes roll to remove slows every 30 sec. Works great to just alternate roll and tiger's lust to remove it every time

[@failfurby]

I 110% agree with getting your keybinds in order. I have been playing this game since Cataclysm. I have been a BM Hunter main for the same time period. I consider myself to be rather skilled and adept with my class. I have never had as much fun and felt as effective as I have until this expansion when I really sat down and thought hard about laying out my keybinds. Everyone's hardware is different (i have a Tartarus V2 keypad and an MMO macro pad mouse, you might not), everyone's comfort level is different (i've been playing for many years, you might only have been for a few months or maybe only days), but do whatever you have to do with in your particular setup to make it so everything you need to do in a fight is only a key press away and you WILL see your success and enjoyment increase.

annnnnnnnnd they patched so he does not count towards the vault.

[@DoomToots]

As another little tip for just about anyone but mainly rogue players, his spit is weirdly enough counted as a snare so things like vanish will remove it. Just of course be aware that that option is off the table when Bran dies and it may also put Zekvir in a weird position so having Shadowstep on a good button helps a lot for either getting back to an egg or interrupting him in case Bran drags him to the other end of the arena.

[@psylic]

9:34 DH netherwalk is NOT a magic immunity, it is 100% dr, the effect will still apply to you, but you wont take any damage. Untested - Vengeful Retreat removes slows, and should work to remove the debuff

[@yanivcassuto4198]

Thanks for this guide! BTW, isn't the slow from the spittle considered a snare? If so, there is a mage class talent that can remove it with a barrier cast. Also, shamans have the talent spirit walk to deal with slows.

[@tacotuesdaygaming3926]

Imagine posting this when we already had the hot fix notes making this not true 😂

[@The_Bacon_Dragon]

I cannot beat this fight with an Elemental Shaman. Brann either can't avoid mechanics or won't help burst down the egg when i have to avoid the Zekvir mechanics. Not having a dispel for the damaging spell certainly doesn't help and before you say just use the interrupt, the problem is that if I can't burst down the egg in time I won't have the interrupt up for if the spider spawns. If it gets it's stun off the fight is basically a reset.

[@Lishaaaaaaa]

If you don't have enough burst to kill the egg, you're usually better off gearing up more to make that easier (I'm presuming you're talking about "?". For "??" this is pretty much non-negotiable, because you'll 100% need your interrupt for the self-heal). Flasks + food buffs might help, too, if you're not already using those. I don't play shammy, but I think you have Ghost Wolf form, right? That should cleanse the Enfeebling Spittle debuff because it's technically a snare, meaning you can have your interrupt for emergencies regarding the spider.

[@The_Bacon_Dragon]

@@Lishaaaaaaa it can but it has a 20 second cooldown. The spitting seems to get cast a lot more frequently than that. I'm trying to do this around 592 but not having much luck. Since Brann keeps getting feared unless I use Tremor totem (which won't be up by the next fear) he's delayed on healing abilities so after I end up taking a good amount of melee I may not have the health pots out or for some reason they disappear so you can't stagger them out as much for later damage.

[@AdamMS1384]

I’ve got a strange tip, but it worked wonders for me. Start on T2. I know, it sounds absurd. But I did about an hours worth of attempts on T2. Of course I couldn’t get it done. After a good chunk of attempts, switch to T1. The fight will seem SO much easier. Not having to interrupt his heal is massive. Anyway, did that on my frost DK ilevel 608 and killed him on my second T1 attempt. I know this fight can seem intimidating but it really isn’t that hard. Don’t focus on your damage except for the egg, have as much as movement abilities available as you can, and interrupt his one ability.

Dispersion. Silence. Not sure if Fear works since he's a boss? Anyone know?

[@UltimateGamerCC]

@@meech9309 pretty sure he immune.

[@meech9309]

Yeah. It figures. Sometimes mini bosses aren't. Doesn't hurt to try though. 😊

[@kagekiso]

not true. Shaman have the Thunderous Paws talent which allows Ghost Wolf to remove snares, as well as Jet Stream which allows Wind Rush Totem to do the same.

Spirit walk also removes snares

You didnt say whats changed in regards to the nerf?

Zekvir doesn't count toward vaults anymore.

[@Suomitikru]

I don't know what you're talking about, Im running this boss on vengeance demonhunter with 600+ item level and getting oneshot by his melee

[@Suomitikru]

I'll just assume he meant next patch due to the lack of portals during coccoons when I tried it today

[@keithb6344]

Portals are on ?? difficulty

[@Bergloff]

LOL

[@C00Cker]

@@Suomitikru Portals are on only in the second phase of ?? and only when he casts that one particular spell; EDIT: phase two starts at 60%

[@Suomitikru]

Ah, didn't know it was only on phase two. If the boss nerf is live then its still very ridiculously overtuned to solo on some classes

[@RevanLah]

How do you unlock Zekvir difficulty ? Because I did a 7 delve with plenty of lives remaining but i did'nt unlock it. Are you sure it's unlock by a 7 delve and not an 8? because i can't do 8 delve yet personnally (tired it but the 1st pack destroyed me so i decided to stay on 7 lol)

[@StormsparkPegasus]

Yeah try it on elemental or resto shaman...not happening under about 610 ilvl (and that's probably being overly optimistic). I keep getting overwhelmed by the add, because I can't kill it fast enough, because I have to keep interrupting my casts to dodge stuff. I'm most likely never going back there. I'm not spending tens of thousands on repair bills and hours grinding, it's not worth it. If you can kill it at current gear levels you're one of the best players in the world. IMO they need to either take the add out of normal mode, or cut its health in half.

[@LunaNicoleTheFox]

So I play a holy priest at 611 ilvl. On Holy I do not have any where near enough DPS. On Shadow I do not get a dispel. Disc is a similar issue (although that might be because I do not play much disc). I personally am of the opinion that Zekvir is impossible to solo as a priest.

[@pittsbillarious]

Fade. Spec into fade that removes snares and other movement impairment.

[@sb5253]

Please do it on ?? As a rogue…. You cant use vanish always resets boss if bran is dead. So you cant use your Rotation to full potential

[@jimkirk2527]

Frost-Mage, 603, Full Set - no chance. In the time struggeling with this boss, I clear 8 normal delves on 8 - so it's not for everyone.

What is the WA for the ability timers?

[@Keijimvp]

@bellulargaming - The boss cooldown timers on the right side of character is this a weak aura? addon? can you post link?

It's a WA called Raid Ability Timeline

[@louiseturner7201]

Shaman have thunderous paws they can pick to deal with enfeeble spit

[@jeffl6394]

Blizzard doesn't want players to use pets to tank Zekvir (??). Rather than make him ignore pets, they made him one-shot pets. If you insist on playing BM Hunter or Demo Lock, turn off taunt and build agro yourself before sending in your pets. Not sure why they always choose the most annoying option.

[@vytautasjuska3642]

Its not annoying it wouldnt be fare compared too ther class

[@lphotwunteel5250]

Hunters can misdirect agro, so just turn off taunt and use misdirect whenever available. U dont even need a pet. Did mine with MM

[@jeffl6394]

@@lphotwunteel5250 BM pets are about 85% of their damage. With Growl off, pets still pull agro. As soon as they do, it's instant death for the pet. Also, who are they going to misdirect to? Themselves? lol

[@jeffl6394]

@@vytautasjuska3642 How so? If the boss ignores pets, they lose the ability to tank the boss. No benefit to pet classes. Instantly killing them when they pull agro is less fair.

[@Azzimoth]

Something is wrong with your pets. I'm doing it at 577 with my bm hunter and I think my pet died once out of 8 runs last week and 8 runs this week.

[@chechemongold]

Why does he still one shot my pet at 611 ilvl

[@Kyle5head]

I am 606 ilvl bm hunter. I beat him by taking my taunt off of my pet and rezed the pet when I needed it.

[@Tea_Dawg]

Use a clefthoof, it's a defensive ferocity pet that has increased healing

[@marks6928]

My bear sticks around for quite a while, definitely isn’t getting one shotted and I’m ilevel 608. Grabbing Bran’s potions, keeping Mend Pet up as much as possible, that one that reduces damage for you both and the bear’s resistance once that gives temp HP all help

[@lordofdrones]

Isn't he technically a raid boss? They tend to really bonk pets.
