BM Hunter Mage Tower question

So, I need counter shot and icetrap to interupt fel blast, but then I only have intimidation to interupt sonic scream, but the CD is too long so I have to eat like every other one. Is there a way around this? It does too much damage and I’m not able to dps the tauren fast enough to survive.

No. In Legion, we didn’t interrupt Sonic Scream as BM. It just didn’t do as much damage as it does now, your spirit beast was able to keep you healed. But now it hits harder AND Spirit Mend is significantly weaker.

BM’s interrupt is too long to be able to interrupt Sonic Scream while also keeping Fel Blast interrupted.

Well this sucks lol

This is why stuff like this shouldn’t come back. I’ve been saying the same thing for 4 years:

The MT was designed for the spells, gear, talents, classes, legendaries and consumables we had in Legion.

Something else I remember that made that fight doable was the pants that healed you when you stood still but haha yeah those are deactivated for this.

I pointed out that some of the abilities were overtuned, but got told “Git gud, stop complaining” or “You just suck”. Why do people insist that just because people are pointing out major differences, that means they are complaining? I also pointed out that I did it week 1 of initial release, and that I had no issues killing the eggs and surviving through the scream, but with the loss of some of our abilities + spirit mend nerf, it is not as simple as “git gud”.

Scare beast works on the worm.

People are probably saying “git gud” because we have to assume that Blizzard tuned these fights for all the stuff we have now but I have no idea if that’s true.

I mean, you can also freeze trap sonic scream but it still gets hairy. Originally you needed to take a pet that had a shield you could cast on it, so a Gorilla, rhino, core hound, or clefthoof would be recommended now

But we are bad, clearly. Right? Something being overtuned and people complain? Automatically bad!

Blizzard definitely missed the mark. Currently, the fights are tuned harder than they were on the PTR, and some(like BM and Havoc, out of the few I’ve tried) are WAY harder than they were during Nighthold.

Kruul(for Vengeance at least) is tuned to around Nighthold after the first round of nerfs. I managed to barely squeeze a victory in on this one, but even during Legion, Kruul had been nerfed like 4-5 times BEFORE Antorus and our overcharged artifacts. So in essence, TW’ing Kruul for the MT is literally on par with prenerf Kruul from Nighthold.

This difficulty is not okay for something that’s only going to be available for a couple weeks out of the year.

No, the problem will and always will be the world of warcraft development team has this brain dead idea that you shouldn’t be able to use items current to that expansion to do content from that expansion.

There was no reason to disable legendaries at all.

It get tiring to hear those fool constantly disable things “just because” and take the fun out of those encounters.

Only Blizzard can screw up this bad.

It casts it faster than scare beast.

And due to npcs delaying their abilities randomly you can’t precast knowing timers.

And if you focus too much on the worm, then tugar will kill your pet lol.

The worst part about the bm fight is the eggs have way too much health.

I couldn’t kill even one of them without heroism, let alone the 2 we need to.

It is possible. I just did it. Make a macro to /tar Jor and Scare Beast every sonic. Alternate interrupt/ice trap for fel blast. Same talents as usual but take Natural Mending/Born To Be Wild in case of emergency. I used a Core Hound, killed boss with worm around 50% then lust. As for the eggs, I was always able to kill one and then beast cleave the rest.

Congrats. I can’t wait to try it tonight when I’m home from work.

Not to mention some classes dps is so gimped that the covenant and leggos fill in where we suck. Moonkin and hunters and a few others have this issue outside of those CDs we are mediocre.

Not sure how we gonna manage this atm lol. Also I dont remember the Kruul fight as guardian hurting so dang bad…but I also think we had a leggo that made our thrash radius wider or something.

Id done it after 15+ tries and would get the phase 2 everytime…now I die on the shades once the inferno comes and the 1st boss up just barely at 55% lol. Though I may really really need blood-splatter trinket from DOS on him and higher then 219 ilvl xP

But my hunters 246 and cant get the tauren to 45% lol guess I’m just not going to care.

I got the OG MT bear forms and the tier sets are just recolors.
Other then the TW keys I may just not bother caring about MT.

Focus macros work wonders…freezing trap works wonders…intimidation works wonders…

I was referring to trying to figure out when he is casting screech.

By the time you get the alert, it’s too late to use scare beast.

And you clearly don’t read if you actually just suggested trap and intimidation.

Scroll up to my comment and you’ll see it’s how you do it. He’ll always screech after he comes back up so you can pre-cast that one. Otherwise you just have to be fast enough or save emergency CDs. It’s a very tight window but it’s not impossible. My priority was always interrupting fel blast since that’s a one-shot.

I have to use freeze trap to interupt fel burst :confused: counter shot’s cd isn’t enough to catch them every time

Intimidation can also be used to interrupt Fel Burst. I use it when I’m on the move and won’t be able to land trap in time.

Either way, after about a dozen attempts, I’m starting to doubt my ability to complete this challenge lol.
