We have another very specific endeavor on our hands as a player has taken on the highest tier Delve with quite literally item level 0! The most basic of basic gear possible, Brann, and some shrooms managed to clear the whole thing, so let’s see what happened.
Item level 0 AKA Pretty Naked Vs. Tier 11
Responsible-Neat4867 aka Lyfe Bloom took on a big challenge and held on to their starter gear! The item level 0 (due to missing quite a few item slots) Protection Warrior decided to take on the highest tier Delve and live to tell the tale. That’s right, it’s Worn Shortsword and
Worn Wooden Shield against the Delve, with some “Warrior’s” item level 1 armor pieces, but no helm, shoulders, trinkets, rings, or amulet! All of that missing gear adds up to item level 0 on the character sheet, and not a lot of survivability, even for a Prot Warrior.
This was really only doable in one or maybe two Delves, but Fungal Folly was the chosen one, with its exploding mushrooms to carry the damage part. Brann was a healer but he and his mechasaurs/Pacifist Rig mech still did most of the DPS. So, you could say it was a Brannshroom build!
As you can imagine, it took quite a while to clear everything needed to finish. 27 minutes, in fact, with just one Nemesis taking around 4 minutes! The boss wasn’t much trouble at all, as the fungal explosions did their thing and took him down in around 3 minutes.
It’s always awesome seeing these types of challenges players just decide to take. This particular one showcases just how strong Brann can be, and how good it is that Blizzard returned enemy damage to the exploding mushrooms in the Delves.
Have you ever taken a challenge like this one upon yourselves? How did it go?
