Ok. Just tried it on my Brewmaster and one shot it. Can definitely say that Guardian was much more difficult. Granted the only difference was that the nether horrors never channeled a cast and the eyes were not immune to physical damage. Also, it helps that monk mobility is a godsend for that challenge aswell.

Lots of good info. Thank you.
The pre pot is just 
āNot so fastā¦ā 
This old mama bear is feeling disheartened. Iām close to 100k in this between food/gems/ect. I think itās lame to have to get these old pieces of gear to do this.
Iāve been trying to do this on my level 50 druid but keep messing up on that first set of adds and Velen dies. I did the mage tower back in Legion on my fury war and as a boomy but it never felt this hard 
Good news, everyone!
-
Kruul health reduced by 10%.
-
Nether Horror health reduced by 10%.
Should be easier now too

I just completed the Kruul challenge a few moments ago! 
Here are some notable gear pieces I used:
Choker of the Barbed Reins (Neck) got lucky with a bonus socket
Handguards of Demonsbane (Gloves) Proc did 5% of my dps
Ghost Iron Dragonling (Trinket 1) with 2x16 Haste and 1x16 Vers Sockets
Unblinking Gaze of Sethe (Trinket 2) Proc did about 11% of my dps.
Good luck!

I tried for a little tonight. Iāll pick it up tomorrow. Iāve had some really low % wipes. Iām just in all slands pvp gear. No special trinkets or sockets. The dps definitely seems close lolā¦ itās tight gcd wise.

Yup. I was playing boomy on my druid at the start of the xpac so my habits are based off that.
As Nasrajin pointed out, I did that off instinct since I was maining boomy on this character at the start of the xpac. Youāre right though, itās probably best to SF>SF then have empowered wraths than what I was doing.

For anyone doing it after the nerf, be ready for the horror adds. You need to group them up before they start the cast now that they donāt cast and move at the same time. If you miss one, they will cast and then run in with the aoe pulsing and just kill Velen. They also do a ton more melee damage to Velen.

Best Iāve gotten Phase 1 down to is about 30% after 30-40 attemptsā¦even after the nerf. 
Iām old and not as coordinated on ability timings and I wanted nothing more than to get this bear skin, but I canāt remember the last time Iāve been as frustrated and has as little fun as Iām having now.
I really wanted to be able to have an enjoyable experience and get a cool druid skin that was actually achievable and difficult without being nerve wracking and an all out terrible experience.

Nerf? Am I behind the times? Has the tower been hot fixed?? I canāt even tell if so.
I am sorry youāre frustrated. I am too. Eating some humble pie this morning. Did bear MT many times back in the day and I just canāt do better then 20% in p2 this go around. Iāve spent 100k now and spent a lot of my sanity too and my right wrist up to my elbow is crying. Iām about to give up. I do not think it should be nerfed any further - I need to read what has been. It should be a challenge. I guess I really am a washed up scrub now.

? Itās not a tank challenge, itās a guardian druid challenge.
Guardian has significant dps options available to them when not in bear form.
Iāve seen people do it with resto and cat affinity as well, itās just easier with moonkin form for me and most people.
Youre not a bear, nor a bear druid. Youāre a guardian druid, and should use all the abilities in your kit for the challenge.

Ok.
I took time away returned after the silence deserved I was mad and it wasnt appropriate.
I got the iskar trinket from H HC in WOD with seed pod from EN those seemed to pair well very wellā¦
I was freaking out last pull and the instant I died I was about to freak out because I was once again so closeā¦
Then he ports to center with a green circle and explodes.
I FINALLY BEAT HIM I am so dang happy to finally have my fel bear and an awesome recolored set ive wanted a long time!
Tbh idk how many times I died or gold spent on consumables but God I am so super happy to finally get my fav color combo.
Keep at it fellow druids! If you feel frustrated and keep messing up take a break and give your brain time to clear after a bit. You can do it!

I made back all my gold plus almost a million converting all my dragonsoul gems and selling unbridled fury pots! Get to farming!
stuck on p2. The hp change would have been fine in itself, but the add change has been harsh. Iām having an issue in p2 where the adds now stand in very bad spots, or 1 of the adds is so far away I cant get the interrupt in place, then it runs over full channeling the cast.
Also, no luck with trinkets for me =/. Not revered with mechagnomes, and none of the trinkets dropped from EN or any raids. Kind of annoying cause that would be really helpful.
