Fair Warning: Mage Tower Seems A Bit Overtuned

Heh. If you think you can offend me by trying to insult my abilities to play a video game, you’re wrong. But it’s cute that that’s your only counter. Keep the toxicity alive in this game. It’s what it’s mostly known for anyway. :slight_smile:

But I’m good. Timewalking doesn’t actually offer much of anything either. I’ll get that mount eventually.

Saw your edit, too. Props for finding your own sense of accomplishment in a video game. I’m good with that feeling, I don’t need to find it here.

But my queue is almost up to get into Endwalker. Much better alternative to this event. I’ll do my WoW chores later or something. Have fun with “being good” or whatever you think you have going on that validates yourself.

I’m not trying anything, I’m just spitting facts, but the fact that you’re trying to convince others you’re not offended means your jimmies were in fact rustled and that’s on you.

Side-note: Have fun with FF. Nobody needs you to whine here bub. If you have more fun with FF, go play with FF (the fact that you aren’t just playing FF is proof that’s BS though).

No, they’re not. It’s quite obvious they’re upset that they were scaled one and are expected to play differently in tower. It’s not quite clear how lack of artifacts, legion legendaries, or lack of covenants will be affecting players yet.

That doesn’t mean it’s impossible, I read lvl 50s were doing it?

Thrash one was the go-to for the early stages before you out geared it

You’re able to enter and attempt it as soon as level 50. All gear is normalized so leave 50, level 60, LFR and Mythic raid gear is all the same. It’s all based off of skill at this loint

Takes about 5-15 mins to get in. Was hanging around here to see how the mage tower launched to see if it was worth trying out. It isn’t and that’s all I needed to know.

And my “jimmies” weren’t rustled, I was just responding to your asinine remarks because they were directed at me.

Cheers.

Ehhh not entirely true. If it’s similar to TW scaling, then gear does matter vis-a-vis secondaries. Also I think on PTR people said abilities are locked out if you’re not over some level (50-60). Not sure what it’s currently like so cannot comment.

edit: not disagreeing with the point of your comment though. its still more skill based.

It’s not though. As for locked out abilities: no legendaries (from any point I hear), and no covenant abilities.

So it’s your specs base kit

Also I was referring to chars NOT doing it at 60. You might be missing an ability actually.

I remember the guardian druid one was pretty much impossible w/o the leggo bracers. It took me over 100 tries to do it w/o them. The irony is an hour after I finished it the bracers dropped.

My guess is scailing is fubard for any gear outside of Legion content, so if people have leggos and other gear from Legion it would probably be best to use it over Shadowlands gear.

It was scaled originally around Legion Borrowed power . Let us have our legion borrowed power back for it while it is up be it the artifact weapon , Legion legendaries or legion tier gear if people still have it .

That explains why the storm kills me before the stun runs out.

It’s scaled to level 50 legion. Everyone gets scaled to the same thing. Like normal time walking. 300ilvl gear and 150ilvl gear gets tuned to 225ilvl gear (for example) - sockets and trinkets are the big differences. Think we may have misunderstood each other on this

Isn’t the last ability we get is the last tier at level 50? Only thing we may miss is the rank 2s we get at 58

Xylem is hitting rly hard on easy phase and my DH havoc is hyper geared with 32% versa, 12 gems and the tank trinket from BoD.
Its going to be hard.

You’ll be happy to know that Legiondaries are disabled.

Nice condescension and disrespect.

Might want to check your source again

From a blue post

Keep mind that you will not be able to benefit from Legendary items or any other expansion-specific benefits like Covenant abilities when taking on these challenges, so plan accordingly!

Only Shadowlands leggos are disabled

Agatha is super hard on Fire Mage . I actually found it easier on Ele . But I couldn’t get it below 60 percent on either.

Some frost mages and holy paladins have beat the challenge.

My main is Frost and I don’t suck. Especially in solo play so I’ll give this a shot tonight and see if it kicks my butt or not lol.

As someone who was 36/36 in Legion, yes it is overtuned. It should be hard for sure but it’s definitely off.
