the answer is simple, bountiful delves are capped daily so it caps your xp daily and keeps you from no-life grinding to cap. the longer you're on the treadmill, the better their playtime metrics.
@@paolo5297 Agreed, while the timegating playtime metric argument makes a certain sense and might actually be Blizzard's intent, alts negate it which makes the leveling restriction seem a bit pointless
olden seeker is my go to, you can some times get 2% primary stat or 2% leech from it as well and if you get multiple of the same buff it stacks, it comes from fish, ore, and herbs. my best run so far i got 6% crit, 4% verse, 4% leech, and 2% agility, you also get extra resources. when brann mines the nodes he will throw you a fish, a couple ores, some herbs, i dont even have herbalism and i have a bunch of free mushrooms for cooking. the only big pain is remembering to actually notice and pick up the artifact brann puts on the ground to get the buffs, i definitely missed some at some point because i was focused on the fight. my go to as brewmaster monk is porcelain arrows and olden seeker.
I used Raged-Filled Idol on week 1 if I delving with healing alts. Figured that's what it was meant for. Brann will do so much DPS and I'll heal off the health cost. But after the hotfixes, I can't get Brann to hold aggro even with minimal heals. Idk, might need to test more. Relicblood of Zekvir feels like something for Tanks or highly-survivable specs that lack damage. I've tested it once on my Vengeance DH and it worked out okay.
I literally finished with BM hunter that way as ilvl 570 on Tier 8. Send turtle based pet, heal on CD and heal on Bran's heal. no death, nothing, ez run, 15-20 min
Brann is always getting in the way of objects I need to click on (including loot drops). I have to keep rotating my camera or running away and then back to loot to keep Brann from always being underfoot. Can't Blizz find a way to let Bran stay a slight distance away? It's really irritating.
Not gonna lie I hate Brann he got my yelling at the computer screen telling him to shut the f*** up cause he always opening his mouth at the worst time and he always be throwing his potions in the middle of the aoe’s or popping them off way behind the area where I’m actually fighting making me have to back up to grab them. As a tank brann is more a nuisance then anything useful for me although I do appreciate the health potions when I do get to grab them up.
brann is a menace to my BM hunter. he breaks every single one of my frost traps, it's like he has some kinda of compulsion. sees trap, must break. even if i pre-trap something and pull everything else to the other side of the room so it doesn't get broken accidentally, brann will turn around and attack the trapped one anyway lol xD
Not sure if he put this in the other delve videos, but Brann's potions are HOTS. So pick up one, wait a few seconds if you have the health, then repeat. Getting that 800k-1mm health tick for 8 seconds is really useful.
Is my Brann broken? As a Mage he doesn't even trade aggro off of me. I'm just DPSing all the mobs as he runs around randomly like a cat on fire. I'd turn him completely off if I could
Running a destro lock 607gs with Brann lvl 45 porcelain arrow and relic of sentience, all curios epic. Enough health pots for the mobs, and a boost in crits.. Running most delves at lvl 8 just for the daily runs and for speed.. One thing not mentioned are the bonus chest maps. In lvl 7,8,9 I have gotten a random 610 GS hero loot 1 of 6.. Haven't gotten a bonus chest map for a lvl 10 or 11 delve but I hope that the loot increases another tier
Please do something on Delver's Journey. I just about reached the first perk, and at 125 whatever per Tier 7 delve (150 for Tier 8) - this will take ages to even unlock the warband gear for alts, not even speaking about Koffer keys purchase. Ok, so my Brann is only lv 23, I see yours is 45 - but OMG..how many Delves are you running?
Once your GS is high enough run through a full delve clear in 20min or less, honestly never timed it. Once you reach GS of 590 it seems to scale with Brann better. I can't speak for others but I only run Brann on my main.
My Braan is 52 now, seems like he gets capped each week. He doesnt get anymore exp this week for me. Even in a bountiful 8 or 11 even. I can only assume he can only get so much xp wach week even with alts but im not sure. I have 7 characters now that can do bountiful 8s.
Once you kill the boss of your 28th bountiful delve across your entire warband during a single weekly reset, he will stop getting exp. Doesn't matter if you do all 28 on one toon or split them across all 7.
My Brann is almost lvl50 now but still kinda dumb 😅
Title of video shouldve been "raising brann", missed opportunity!
Why it stops at 15 in normal delves ill never understand. just give half exp or something but nothing?

The more 80 you play, the faster you level your Brann basically circumventing the 4 per day cap

@@ChrisTehKiller169 Yeah, because people are only playing to level Brann inside of delves...
@@mimcduffee86don’t underestimate the neurodivergent lol
I spent a couple of hours trying to level Brann after lvl 15, not realizing he will only level on bountiful delves. 😥 lesson learned.
Same for me

Porcelain Arrowhead Idol is so fun as Destro.

Something very important to note here: Brann's potions also heal pets

Just hit the interact key - default is f.
If you stand still for like 1 second, Brann will run over to wall and just lean there until you move on.
Excellent laydown! Very informative!
The rage-filled idol is my go to as a monk. When I’m WW I just toss a heal on brann every once in a while. When I’m MW his self damage doesn’t matter.
good point, that's def the healer spec
Great video. I didn’t know about the lvl 15 brand issue. I wasn’t trying to waste my keys but I guess I need to run bountiful on my alts
You don’t have to use a key at the end of the bountiful delve if you’ve maxed out your Great Vault for the week. Just don’t open the purple chest.
TY very helpful guide.

Is Brann helpful for you guys? He frequently throws on a dress and nags about things I'm not doing right in my delves
Brann suddenly stopped fishing, mining and gathering even though I have the tools, any suggestions?

Rewards cap at 8, which applies to bountiful chests, delver's bounty and max xp gain

average 3 a day

Thank you for going over those curios. Now I know I can throw away the negative ones. Good job.
