So after about 150 attempts on Guardian MT with tailored gear, buffs, and all else, I can say with certainty this is overtuned. I have had about half of my attempts get to Kuul but the damage is just not there to get past 4 annihilations or you cannot survive the 4 annihilates.
It is preferably tuned for ironskin, barksin+ironskin, incarn+survival instincts, then BS+SI. This is not the reality, as you WILL take either pulse dmg, Kuul leap (hits WAY harder now) or melees which push it over the edge.
So the best attempt I have had, it was IS, BS+IS, incarn+SI+2 IS (barely lived, luckily was right next to an orb), then incarn+BS+SI+2 IS. I survived the last one by the skin of my butt and he did not leap when he was supposed to. This whole time I was hitting him and maintaining DOTs. Still had 4% left.
if mythic raiders and such are having a tough time, then its a fail. it needs to be tuned to be challenging for the majority of the playerbase and not the top. not because i want handouts but because the developers need to provide completable content to the majority.
unless the only players left are highly skilled players. idk.
personally, ive had fun trying to complete it. its just slightly too hard for me to do it. I get phase 2 down to 20 percent with only a flask, tank trinkets, and shadowlands gear. every time i eat food i dont get past phase 1 lol.
working on mop pvp gear to see if that makes a difference. we’ll see.
regardless, its just slightly overtuned for me. the mechanics are challenging enough. health needs to drop a bit id say.
Honestly what gets me is that some pulls are just total RNG. Variss can cast his first Drain Life a little late which gives me enough time for around 8-10% more on pull. That plus literally having the stars align for P2 is just too much. Best shot is 16% so far, but Im just gassed by that point and cant keep up the DPS and wipe on the 4th Annihilate. This is with me pushing Variss in P1 so Im starting P2 with only 2 infernals and 3 orbs up.
you mean you didnt know that they squish our gear and ilvl down to the necessary level to do the challenge that having mythic gear you’re worst off? I guess it pays to have research 1st before you run your mouth huh?
It’s not even a tank fight. P1 if you do it correctly would need you to use moonkin form to down the boss and P2 is just a DPS race. And to get enough DPS you need to use old gear with many sockets, potions, flasks, food, the usual stuff mythic raiders use.
It is. Stupid thing about it is blizzard decides to provide completeable content for the top percentage of the playerbase instead of the majority. Pretty dumb move imo.
Ib4 the ‘oh, so everyone is entitled to the ce achievement’. No. It’s not the same. There is multiple tiers of raids with almost identical rewards. There is only one mage tower tier and only one tier of those rewards.
I mean…just saying Timewalking has always been taken as casual content. They even marketed the Mage Tower as something for everyone. I think the PTR version was 100% fine, then something happened to get what we have on live.
I don’t disagree. They are just dumb for tuning it for the top percent of players. It needs to be challenging for the normal raider or something. Heroic raider. Lfr raider. Idk, whoever is the majority.
They’ve literally made it so you can do them in any gear.
They don’t require huge skill because there is nothing gating you from doing 1000 pulls except time
Each attempt is almost identical, the slight ability timer differences don’t mean anything to the overall fight unless you stuff it at take 8+ stacks due to interupting and even then there are ways out of it
Casual players in my guild are getting these on alts with unsocketed korthia gear
Use the time spent sooking on forums for handouts to practice instead
About time this game had something difficult, that couldn’t be accomplished in 45 minutes by the masses
I’ve only had about 10 attempts and its definitely not as bad as I remember.
There’s definitely something you’re missing- its not impossible.
Others have done it.
If you were capable of getting it in Legion, you are capable of getting it now.
Perhaps it comes down to Orb management, using SV for annihilates,… Are you using Flask? Potions? Drums?
I’ve heard people say they had an easier time with Galactic as its more output.
Did you have any Orbs up when you died? You also have barkskin as damage with brambles. You can use your mighty bash, typhoon, etc.
I mean, you can literally dash/wild charge to an Orb.
I’m not trying to disagree with you- but its absolutely doable.
This is like saying hand eye coordination and talent don’t exist lol. People have different levels of abilities. You can’t possibly believe we all have the same level of inherent skill?
I’m telling you right now. There is no way a transmog farmer has completed the bear mt challenge while I’m over here failing at it.
