Was the point of mage tower come back supposed to be fun and to get people excited? Because this isn’t what fun is, this is insanity.
Everytime someone finds something to make it a tiny bit easier (because let’s be real, it’s extremely difficult), it gets nerfed instantly.
Why don’t you guys just fix the encounter instead of stopping people from finding ways to make it better?
Plenty of trinkets/builds aren’t being nerfed though. Only the cheese strats are, and rightfully so.
They will after the 2 week run is over. Then you have to stay subbed for another 6 months maybe you get a 5% nerf every time it rolls around. If you can’t make quality content for paying customers just put a carrot on the end of a stick that comes around every re-up period.
Because it’s made to be challenging.
This isn’t Timewalking dungeons or LFR. it’s not meant to be.
I completed it and the damage check was extremely tight, especially since I main boomie on druid and didn’t have any good trinkets. I wouldn’t mind them doing an hp nerf to p2 boss and for the love of everything increase the hp of the npc so he doesn’t die in one tick of the cast.
One tiny stuff up and the entire thing is screwed.
This isn’t fun, this is actually INSANE.
Can the infernals be rooted?
Variss circle (druid) compared to other tanks is way to big
There’s no middle ground? 
You are still able to thrash to keep 3 stack by being on outer edge and not get debuff
Many of the MT challenges are just substantially more difficult this time around because we’ve lost the entire Legion toolkit (leggos, borrowed power, artifact traits, etc.).
I would’ve thought that would have been accounted for by tuning ahead of time.
Shouldn’t matter most of your dps in P1 comes from boomy form
LOL. Everything was legitimate until it wasn’t. Anything that is currently being used could and may be nerfed or disabled.
Sounds nothing like phase 1 in legion.
Anyone who exploited things like cycloning on the twins so it negated hands spawning should have their armour removed until they legitimately complete the encounter. Unfortunate that this would never happen, though.
Using cyclone is an exploit that should be bannable? Why are you playing a game that players have abilities? Why don’t you play a game with sliding cubes, so nobody can exploit by using their abilities as designed?
From what I remember, in the Legion version there was lots of weaving in and out to get melee attacks in on Variss (was no HoTW talent back then). And the little adds basically died with 1 or 2 swipes.
It definitely feels tuned harder compared to back then.
What? I didn’t say bannable?
It was not necessary to use balance affinity to get through phase 1. I never used balance affinity.
You called using cyclone an exploit. You did. Is typhoon an exploit? Is moonfire?
Exploits should be bannable. But when the devs change things so common gameplay is suddenly decided to be an “exploit” that people used to “cheat” for decades, and people like you flood the forums with posts about how people shouldn’t be able to use their class’s abilities because they are now “exploits”, give me a break. Go play a game with no people in it so you can’t be offended that they use their toolkit as designed.
Cycloning during an immunity phase to make it so an entire phase does not exist is an exploit, yes.
