Alright Balance druids how do you complete the mage tower. The fight is simple enough but I am doing crap damage without covenant abilities and I cannot seem to get the casters killed fast enough between running and ccing and such. What talents are you using and such. I dont think this would be a huge problem had stellar drift not be screwed up but it is what it is.
Probably not optimal, but as a non-balance main I got through it with Nature’s balance/charge/resto aff/mass entangle/incarn/stellar drift/FoE. I’m avoiding consumables if at all possible, so only had the fel focuser running (free minor stat buff in place of a flask)
I looked at his health and assumed I wouldn’t be able to burst raest down, so I did the super slow strat of just killing Karam first (saved CDs for the 3rd chase phase and burned him down as fast as I could). Raest enrages (+500% damage) after Karam dies but he’s stationary and has a 40yd range so… not an issue.
For hands I typically alternated FoE and bursting them with solar beam and whittling them down with DoTs. Keep in mind, Barkskin and/or Bear form at full health is enough to survive a cast in a pinch. Got 2 or 3 in the 2nd chase phase and 2 in the last phase before Karam dies (he’s the one spawning them)
I’m curious if folks had luck just bursting down Raest, as that was definitely the easier way to go when the mage tower first came out.
I appreciate the feedback. that is the same talent setup i was using. just kept getting smacked by the hands cast.
How do you deal with the rune of summoning after killing Karam and Raest is enraged?
His shadow bolts only do like 1500, so I’m just ducking back into range to stand on them. Mass entangle/typhoon/ursol’s to keep little adds off me while I do.
I just finished this fellas so if any of you want tips if you haven’t done it yet, let me know. It took me 4 tries. I likely will have some insight on a specific issue.
My main hang up at the moment are the hands. I am not producing enough damage to kill the hands and kill the boss that is chasing me, he is getting faster and faster and eventually I get had by a hand or he catches me. 50% of my typhoons don’t knock him back and he is getting rooted for less and less time. All the while I feel like my dps is just to damn low for this which sucks cause in 15’s and higher I am 7-9k overall depending on the pulls and in raid I am 7k or higher. I feel if I could get the hands down Faster then I could focus boss more.
What are the reward diffrence feom the guardian run ? I just got the guardian done . I wanted to see if it was worth while
None. It’s EXACTLY the same rewards as guardian unless you’re completing all the challenges.
What Nas said, though to clarify it’s the same reward as guardian minus the bear of course. But you’ll gain nothing having already completed the guardian one.
P1…kite big guy while maintaining over 50 astral power. When the thing spawns u need to kill dot it and pop a starfall (so you can cast and move) and immediately start spamming it with either wrath or starfire. If you get a crit or 2 you shouldn’t need to use any starsurges on the add, and you can dump those into the main guy you are kiting. Also soak the puddle the third time you are doing this.
When guy gets to 35% or whatever pop drums + CA and burn the crap out of the main guy. Rinse repeat 2 times and now you are in last phase.
In last phase when boss berzerks you should have him decently low already, but it doesn’t really matter. As a boomkin you have more range than him, so just stand 45 yards away and casually wrath him down. When pools that you need to soak spawn just skin + bear and go soak them. Typhoon any small adds away from the circle you are soaking and then wild charge back out of range of the boss and resume AFK dpsing him until you win.
I did this in just regular shadowlands gear, I don’t actually think I even remembered to buy drums, it is waaaaay easier than the guardian druid one.

Holy crap I am just now reading this. I was trying to dps Rast while his stupid brother was zooming at me like a cruise missile. I killed the brother a few times but didnt think you could just out range him and died to the bolts.
Aight, well this challenge should be much simpler
Is mage tower something that’s always up now? Or just when Legion Timewalking is active?
Every…18 weeks for 2 weeks I believe is what it is
