I defeated the mage tower tonight. My thoughts

Between the fact that the boss is super overtuned, and runes randomly spawning right next to Karem leading to getting 1 shot 70% of the runs, its pretty terrible. Ill just wait for the nerf. :woman_in_manual_wheelchair:

FIX HOLY PRIEST!

You never used to have a follower get 2 shot from mages in P1. It can be str8 RNg if the mage targets same followers twice.

The original reply you made was to a comment about Supatease, who made a video about Guardian Druid. You are wearing the set of a Mage. You’re comparing apples to oranges.

Mage tower is a spit in the face from Blizzard. I have been subscribing to Blizzard for years. And things like this push me closer and closer to leaving for good. Not a good image.

AKA were not going to do much about it at the moment but when its back around in 6 months you’ll likely be over it, same with the 5 year old Legion raids right? i’ll believe anything from you guys when i see it. we’re done working on good faith prove yourselves to the player base

TBF that situation is part of the reason is was remembered so fondly. Everyone got to play it at a point that was challenging for them personally. if you were a pro you did it early if you were a casual you did it late. It was easier but still hard for you personally.

Probably not possible but it would be great to have two versions of the MT to choose from: this harder version (with a tiny bit of tuning for specs that are way out of whack) that gives the original weapon transmogs and an easier version that gives the recolored armor sets.

It feels like this is difficult enough now that you could give the weapon transmogs and still have them be a ‘status symbol’ for more skilled players.

I did it on druid too, you mentioned me not having the achieve when i’m wearing a set which requires the achieve.

It’s pretty unlikely they’ll spend the time to balance it for all the specs in the game when the tower is going away pretty soon. Its also unlikely that they’ll just do a blanket nerf to damage/HP, since they clearly want it to still be “challenging”. Probably no changes until the next legion timewalking :woman_shrugging:

You know what would be hilarious. Is if the fix they do is give us stacks of determination. Everytime you do the fight longer then like 4 or 5 mins you get a stack but they are only 1 percent. You wipe 100 times you are 100 percent stronger.

I did Havoc/Veng, Disc Priest, Frost/Unholy, Prot/Ret pally all with limited knowledge in Legion MT of those specs and honestly learned a bit doing the challenges with them.

I also did all the Shaman ones as my main.

Agatha feels mostly the same with similar issues as in Legion, those being some specs have a lot more health to deal with and it can suck.

Sigryn is fairly similar as well from my memory. The disappearing runes seem to be a new issue.

Xylem does drastically more damage than he did in Legion as well as the players having a lot less sustain mechanics.

I have never done Twins in my life so I can’t say much, Raest feels like he has an absurd amount of health for what you have to deal with later and the time limit, along with survivability.

Feltotem feels like he’s been amped up quite a bit overall, and suffers from the same issue as others
 survivability. There is no Prydaz, no roots of shaldrassil, nothing to help the sustain game.

Healer challenge feels a tad overtuned overall but the real issue is the first phase. Those Mages hit for 50% NO STACKS on npcs life yet the player it’s only about 25% and we have 3K less Hp then the npcs.

I haven’t tried the tanking one yet as others have been so different from what I remember dealing with.

Don’t come in saying “retail players bad”
Because of complaints. The challenges are different from my experience doing them. Things are not the same for several challenges. Players don’t have the same power as they did then.

I too completed it, as an immobile destro lock. You can basically live forever if you respect the mechanics, I don’t think they need changing.

Looking forward to the changes when Legion timewalking comes back around in, like, a year.

I’m sure you’re right. I’m okay with Challenging like the original was, but this is more than a little rough

Please tune down the assassination rogue encounter the enrage is just crazy. I am able to get to the end of the fight but the boss enrages and I just die. I tried so many different trinkets sockets gear enchants you name it and have over 200 pulls and nothing

One of the frustrations with guardian is that flasks, food buffs, correct sets, drums, and the BFA potion especially, are REQUIRED, not just something a good player uses to finish it faster. Without all that I can’t even seriously complete the challenge. Those are all mandatory just to be able to do the fight, which seems wrong.
