Best Builds for Brann Bronzebeard for Delves

Here are our picks for the Best Builds for Brann Bronzebeard that we've found online and tested ourselves.


Delves have become a key corner stone of War Within. With a rotating hero each season, new events and maybe new Delves to explore it's a feature that has legs. For Season 1 of Delves we have Brann, and he has a fair few interesting builds to help you out.

Best Builds for Brann Bronzebeard – Delve Deep

Before we get started, let's do some general housekeeping and things you can do to improve without the builds.

  • Use Rank 4 Curios if possible. We might suggest a different DPS or Healing Curios below, but if it's a rank 1 vs a rank 4, chances are the rank 4 you have is better anyway
  • Stick to Delves you enjoy, each one is empowered roughly twice a week anyway. Delves don't need to be difficult, don't like The Waterworks? Then don't do it
  • Let Brann fill in your weaknesses or enhance your strengths. Most of my testing with Delves was on my DH, so I don't ever really need Brann to DPS, I really need him to keep me alive or off-tank some mobs. Use this to your advantage, there is no “best” Brann build, just the best one for you.

Also note that Blizzard has been very nerf happy with Delves in the early weeks, though that has slowed down now. We'll update this if anything major changes or if new builds appear from the Void.
