Please consider implementing some sort of “practice mode” for each phase of all the encounters (Will not give you reward afterwards). A lot of them are very difficult for most players and for the harder challenges (Guardian specifically) you end up spending thousands of gold on consumables that just get wasted on many many attempts. It’s not realistic for a lot of people to practice this challenge without them, because they are almost necessary for your success. I would really like to try out the other challenges, but I burned through so much of my gold going through the guardian one alone and it’s very discouraging.

If you think adding a couple more dps to a fight stops one shot mechanics I guess world first raiders are just getting gear faster then lfr players to down mythic bosses
So glad blizzard is putting in a council because all these people think their mage tower isn’t balanced or unbeatable when you can go on YouTube to find tons of people recording themselves in shadowlands gear downing the same bosses these lfr heroes can’t get passed one phase with. This content isn’t meant for you if you are the type of person who gives up after a day and you are mount/transmog farming all day. Like learn to play your class and run keys and achieve something hard without crying and getting blizzard to ruin the fun by nerf batting other people’s achievements so you can do it.

Just revert the challenges to how they were on PTR: challenging-but-manageable, rather than ludicrously-difficult-but-you-might-get-lucky-on-attempt-#357-and-narrowly-win-out.

Yea man I’ve had the same issue, the nether horrors don’t aggro the same on p2 and it’s usually a huge cluster on top of velen, I’ll thrash and swipe the adds and 3 will come but the random 1 will just sit there on top of velen casting his crap which then I try to feral charge to and get an orb which by that time I’m getting knocked back by infenals/whatever, it’s dumb

I’m gonna guess it took me 50 attempts, I’m not sure.
The twins suck. Having your pet fail to soak the pools because of awful pathing is a miserable experience.
Eh, seems okay now
They really really bungled the rollout of this 9.1.5 MT though, this whole fiasco was “the cherry on top” of a scuffed 2021 for Blizzard along with all the lawsuits, scandals, mass unsubs, etc etc
In the future they really should just “automatically” scale you to some standardized “template” (appropriate for the challenge) inside the instance only… that would probably address most of the complaints, prevent the crying posts, and remove the “need” for cheesy socket/trinket BS.
It actually scales better then you think. Ive been trying some SOO stuff some dauntless some crafted and some legion, and SL gear is at the top of the list except for the fact it doesn’t have sockets. Honestly it just shows how bad the tuning is.

Which here’s a tip for some people if they are trying out gear. If you happen to have Sigryn as one of your fights you can zone in and experiment with all your stats and see what they are scaled down. It’s somewhat suprising how some stuff scales but it’s the only one I know off that the fight doesn’t auto start.
You have to use the Inevitable Demise talent and keep agony rolling on a bunch of the adds to keep your ID stacks up so it can outheal the SB enrage damage from Raest. Dot up Raest also but you have to spend a few globals between DL casts to put agony on soem adds while moving around.
Holy priests still can’t even reach phase 2 most of the time lol.
i got it done just now and it was just so blegh.
I did save drums for and pot for just him though.

Now i Need to figure out which one is the easiest for hunters to do and pallies.
Flip the coin. Blizzard hyped MT to the sky, shadow buffed the encounters post-PTR, made millions on resubs, only to have a very bad player experience and frustration.
And this is not the first time. Also, the whole ‘we are WOKE’ changes has not had any effect on the product quality.

The hands are my problem also, I Have only gotten past that phase a couple of time out of 60 plus attempts. If stellar drift hadn’t been nerfed to this 12/8 cd I think we would be alright cause we would have that 4 seconds that we cant cast and run.

Twins is the same. It doesn’t begin until you run in a few yards.
What about Assassination? You have required a near-perfect play style to achieve the 1.1k dps to kill it within 6 minutes while surviving mechanics. How is this not getting changed?
I finally complete the MM version of Twins. It’s a DPS race in the first two intermissions. If you don’t have him to 50% by the time the final phase starts it’s going to be rough. I went all single target spec. Concussive shot and tar trap are always on CD. You just have to pump. I used my pet to soak circles. I kept having troubles in phase 3 where Karam would catch me since he gets faster. That’s when I went to steady shot and Careful Aim. Volley is nice but can’t beat L&L in phase 3. I ignored the little adds for the most part. As long as tar trap is down they shouldn’t be an issue.
Took about 60 attempts. Don’t watch the health meter of raest in the last phase just keep doing mechanics and keeping Karam away from you. I saved True shot when I had a binding shot available so I could go ham on raest.
It needs to be tuned a bit more. Reduction of health for the hands or raest would be beneficial.
