How to easily level Brann in The War Within Delves, and what to know – Destructoid

With Delves being introduced in WoW: The War Within as a new pillar of endgame content for solo players, leveling up Brann is important, especially if you plan to progress them. If you’re unsure how to do this properly, here’s all that you need to know on the matter.

How to level Brann for Delves in The War Within

Brann can only gain experience through playing Delves. There’s no method currently that allows you to level Brann outside of them., but it is easy to do so if you know what you’re doing.

Brann gets Experience in a couple of ways via Delves:

• Delve Completions – A large majority of the experience Brann gets will be through successful Delves. The higher the tier, the more experience he will gain, with higher tiers granting much more overall.
• Killing Enemies – Every successful kill will reward Brann with a small amount of experience. The more powerful the foe, the more experience.
• Lootables – When looting treasure in Delves, sometimes you’ll find raw experience drops that, when picked up, automatically reward Brann with experience. These come in multiple rarities, with the highest (purple) rewarding him with the most XP.

As you can see, just participating in Delves content will level up Brann. However, if you’re looking to speed up the leveling process, a specific Delve called Tak-Rethan Abyss (/way 58, 78) in Azj-Kahet is fast to finish. It is also fairly easy to complete solo, making it the ideal Delve for speed leveling Brann. Additionally, it is the perfect Delve for unlocking the later tiers due to how fast you can run through it. Tak-Rethan Abyss also contains plenty of lootables to grab for Brann experience.

Why is Brann not getting experience in The War Within?

As you run Delves, you may notice that your Brann stops getting experience. Once Brann reaches a certain level, he can only gain more experience by running Bountiful Delves. Since only four Bountiful Delves are active daily, this effectively means leveling Brann is timegated. However, I’ve found that this doesn’t matter much for the current scope of Delve content, as tier eight is completable with his current power scaling.

What Curios should you use on Brann in The War Within?

There are quite a few options for Curios to use on Brann. However, there are a couple I recommend, especially if you’re trying to level him up quickly.

• Streamlined Relic – This is Utility Curio that boosts your out-of-combat movement speed considerably while also boosting your Haste stat during combat. This Curio is great for speeding through Tak-Rethan Abyss (and any other Delve), as they can be rather large to walk through at normal speed.
• Idol of the Earthmother – Brann grants you a massive shield when you’re injured. This one is simple but greatly boosts your survivability in high-tier Delves.
• Olden Seeker Relic – While exploring Delves, when Brann uses his Gathering Tools ability, there’s a 20% chance you’ll get a powerful buff. This one isn’t as universally useful as those mentioned above, but the buffs you can get from this are quite strong.
• Relic of Sentience – When you pick up one of Brann’s health potions, there’s a chance he could throw you an additional one. This is a solid boost to your survivability, as it means more health potions for you to pick up if your Brann is set to the Healer role.

If you don’t have these Curios, they can all be obtained randomly via completing Delves. Make sure you open up any treasure chests you find, as each could contain one of these Curios. Using even one of them will make your life easier, so keep an eye out for them.

What Combat Role should Brann be for Delves in The War Within?

Brann can either be a Healer or a Damage Dealer while supporting you in a Delve. While he is strong in both roles, I prefer him as a Healer as his potions heal a massive amount and he still has DPS at the same time. Even so, feel free to pick his role based on your own.
