While the question can be very subjective, let’s try to look at it objectively. Let’s assume a player has little to no experience playing a specific class/spec. Which class/spec will be easiest to learn and complete each mage tower challenge? For reference, here are the challenge names and classes/specs available:
-
Closing the Eye (Archmage Xylem) - Frost Death Knight, Havoc Demon Hunter, Survival Hunter, Subtlety Rogue, Arms Warrior
-
An Impossible Foe (Agatha) - Unholy Death Knight, Feral Druid, Fire Mage, Outlaw Rogue, Elemental Shaman, Fury Warrior
-
The God-Queen’s Fury (Sigryn) - Arcane Mage, Retribution Paladin, Assassination Rogue, Enhancement Shaman, Demonology Warlock
-
Feltotem’s Fall (Tugar Bloodtotem) - Beast Mastery Hunter, Windwalker Monk, Discipline Priest, Destruction Warlock
-
Thwarting the Twins (Raest Magespear) - Balance Druid, Marksmanship Hunter, Frost Mage, Shadow Priest, Affliction Warlock
-
The Highlord’s Return (Highlord Kruul) - Blood Death Knight, Vengeance Demon Hunter, Guardian Druid, Brewmaster Monk, Protection Paladin, Protection Warrior
-
End of the Risen Threat (Lord Erdris Thorn) - Restoration Druid, Mistweaver Monk, Holy Paladin, Holy Priest, Restoration Shaman
I have currently completed 5 of the 7, but am struggling with the final two.
For An Impossible Foe, I thought Fire Mage was quite easy. They can delete the adds with almost no effort. However, it was absolutely necessary to level up to 58 to get Alter Time so that you can just run in and spam Arcane Explosion on adds without consequence.
For Feltotem’s Fall, I found BM Hunter to be the simplest. I did it at level 51 with no consumables. I highly suggest getting the Ravaged Seed Pod trinket. It has a 1 min CD which alligns perfectly with the adds you need to kill every minute. If you drop it on all the adds it removes about half their HP. You can easily kill the worm from 100% to dead after Tugar goes down without worrying about the enrage. I have also heard WW Monk is easy, but I cannot confirm.
For Thwarting the Twins, I think everyone realizes that Frost Mage is the clear winner.
I also completed the tank and healer challenges, but those were on my main where I have a lot of experience. My answer would be biased so I will skip those.
Would love to hear what others think so I can plan accordingly for my last two challenges. Let’s please avoid complaining about the difficulty level of the updated mage tower and try to stay on point. What do you think are the easiest classes/specs for each challenge in your most objective opinion.
