Discover Brann Bronzebeard’s new tank talents, skills, and curios coming in Patch 11.1!
Brann’s Tanking Role in Patch 11.1
Initially, Blizzard wanted to introduce new Delve companions every season, but since they do not want you to re-learn and get used to new companion skills and talents, they decided to go with Brann for the entirety of The War Within. In Patch 11.1, Brann Bronzebeard will receive a whole new Tanking Role. He will wield a pistol and a shield, so if you are a Healer, you won’t be forced to switch roles!
Brann’s Tanking Abilities in The War Within Season 2
Here’s a list of all skills available to Brann in the tanking role:
- Pistol Shot – Brann pulls out his pistol and quickly shoots his enemy.
- Shield Bash – Brann bashes enemies in front with a shield.
- Boomstick Blitz – Brann uses his shotgun to blast his enemies.
Brann’s Tanking Talents in The War Within Season 2
Here are all Brann’s talents available in his tanking role:
- Veteran of Ironforge – Brann wields a pistol, and a shield that wears in battle, providing damage reduction per stack. As the shields gets damaged, Brann’s survival instincts kick in, increasing his damage dealt, and when the shield gets worn-out, he switches to his trusty shotgun.
- Bronzebeard’s Brown Bear – Brann summons the family bear, which charges into battle, launching enemies up into the air. The bear then prepares for a series of massive stomps, dealing damage, forming an area that increases dodge chance, and increasing maximum health.
- Electro-Charged Gadgets – Brann’s equipment is enhanced with cutting-edge tech upgrades.
- Electro-Charged Shield – Effective healing done to Brann pulsates as Nature damage to nearby enemies.
- Electro-Charged Pistol – Each shot discharges and electrical current, arcing through nearby enemies and reducing their attack speed. Healing Brann super-charges his pistol to deal more damage.
- Electro-Charged Shotgun – Each enemy hit has a chance to be knocked down. Healing Brann super-charges his shotgun to deal more damage.
- Neat Rope Trick – When an enemy attacks a player, Brann throws his trusty lasso, pulling the enemy back to him. The same enemy cannot be lassoed more than once within 10 seconds.
- Sentry Totem – Brann deploys an electrifying totem, nullifying up to 3 harmful spells and boosting combat capabilities of allies within the area.
- Grand Brann Slam – Brann leaps into battle with concussive force, dealing damage and taunting enemies nearby.
- Lightning Link – Brann generates an electro link that transfers damage done to nearby allies to himself.
- Explorer’s Survival Journal (Paragon Ability) – Brann’s combat mastery grants him increased maximum health and healing received.
Brann’s Tank Curios in The War Within Season 2
New goblin-themed curios make Brann interact with rockets, bombs, and malfunctioning devices throughout the delving experience.
There is a special curio you can unlock from the challenge encounter (Zek’vir 2.0) that allows Brann to call down a mech that you as a player can pilot in the delves, so it ties well with the goblin fantasy in the Undermine(d).
