Post your Mage Tower experiences here and a PoV video if you have it.
I finished the Mage Tower as MM and BM. MM was definitely a lot harder and both had little room for error with very tight tuning and especially high health tuning.
The BM one took about 10 attempts because of random mistakes and the MM one took about 15 attempts; again with random mistakes but also because I didn’t know parts of the fight to start with.
I didn’t bother with optimising gear or buffs. I just used my normal PvE gear and a flask, potion, and augment rune. One thing I think people will notice is that both challenges are harder due to having no access to certain legendary effects from Legion. For example the biggest challenge in the BM one back in Legion was having enough health and healing to survive the unavoidable damage over such a long fight. Certain legendaries trivialised that and you don’t have them now, however now you have Scare Beast which helps a lot in the BM one.

Oh, for sure.
I know that back in Legion, MM Hunters depended on the slow effect from the artifact weapon (Windburst — back then, MM Hunters had to use Windburst and Concussive Shot in addition to Tar Trap and Binding Shot), and if they had the legendary bracers that massively increased the range of your Burst Shot — they used that legendary to “cheese” the fight by preventing the mage twin from throwing up his bubble.
So I’m definitely curious to see how the fight would go this time around without Windburst and the bracers.
It’s a pity that I won’t really have the time to check it out myself until this weekend.

I have a video of the MM one but unfortunately I have to reupload it because I rendered it in the wrong resolution.

That was great. Very entertaining. BM spec will be using it as a “how to” video. So will I. Thanks.
There’s one thing available now, that couldn’t be found during Legion.
MM Hunters.
Legion didn’t have any MM, the spec had been lobotomized, marginalized and cross-bred with the sweepings of RSV, and was incapable of playing, well, anything for the first 6 months of the expac.
We aren’t what we were, but we are MM again. That will be enough.

No. It doesn’t really tank anything and the passive leech is enough.

My wolf’s sp. ability, Furious Bite, is a 5 sec. slow. It’s not hard to apply, provided my pet is alive… lol. Slows looked important.
Nice vids. Glad to see somebody complete without complaining that they need legacy gear.

I never played Legion, so went into it blind, didn’t look up guides. Or use a boss mod. Had issues during worm phases where sonic thing got me down to 50% or under. Kept getting to around 30% on boss, and 30%ish on worm.
Eventually went to AH, and made a leech set. Got to 32% leech, and used a world quest trinket from shadowlands that would heal on hit, or if it overhealed, it gave a shield. Doing this helped me heal a lot during intermission, but it was still mess up and die. I learned you could frost trap interrupt the cast that one shots after like 10 tries >_<
I killed the worm first, then lusted after I killed it.
I don’t know if I even did the fight right, but it worked.

The kiting isn’t too bad, really. Raest has a massive health pool, which makes you have to be perfect for quite a long time.

It was a joke. Bepples would never soil themselves with that. Anyone knows how Bepples feels about SV.
