Did you do the BDK one as well? I feel like SL iteration of Highlord’s Return is ridiculous for BDK. BDK very low dps w/o tier/leggos, and never very mobile. And at least a bear can 1shot the eyes with moonfire. I’m trying to gauge which spec I would have had a harder time with pre-DF.
What a lame mentality for the weak - fomo.
No one gives a flying duck what you have. Ppl are out for themselves.
Sorry you were 8 years old during legion and not even playing kid. < example.
Fomo is lame

I hope I can still obtain this achievement. I need the Soaring Spelltome in my WoW life. COPIUM
I’ll file this with the rest of the tantrums and grade-school insults people hurl in these threads.
Okay. Glad you cared enough to comment. 
this is 100% definitely coming back with all the same rewards… blizzard was very clear that it wouldn’t go away.
good luck on spell tome when it comes back

Era-related challenge content should have era-related builds, gear and such laid out for the user when they enter. Essentially freezing the moment in time so it’s always challenging.
This way you never have to take anything out or time limit for unreasonable purposes.
The original rewards weren’t removed because they couldn’t keep it challenging.
Thanks Mate! Appreciate your kind words.

Please scale crafted gear I made for Mage Tower like you scaled Chromie Time and Heirlooms. CT and Heirloom gear are free and have no value. Crafted gear made with Relics of the Past, profession dailies, or purchased with gold obviously have value and need to scale with the other items.
Same with Legion gear. Scale this, too. This was literally the gear available during Mage Tower 1.0. No reason not to scale this.
Everything I mentioned was created with the Mage Tower in mind. I am not over-reaching. Thank you.
Im waiting for you to bring the mage tower back. I just want the bear form for the druid possibly the flying book mount . This content is ancient. Using it as a current bench mark for class specs is stupid . Unless you make something entirely new and current not associated with legion but in dragon flight otherwise it shouldnt be this difficult to keep the mage tower up. Youre literally forcing content from 3-4 expansions ago current . Stop it. The challenges from pandaria could do the same . Youre really being weird about the mage tower. You could just up the numbers and relaod it . What are you so unsure of ?
well, lots of classes are getting more utility spells that they can now use within the mage tower such as prot paladins with divine toll.
Shadowlands mage tower tank challenge had slight differences between the classes, at least the ones i’ve attempted:
Guardian Druid and Vengeance DH have adds that cast a fatal spell, this requires an AOE interrupt about once every minute or so.
The prot paladin challenge has the same adds but they don’t cast the fatal spell, because prot paladins didn’t have a reliable way to interrupt multiple adds at one time.
Now, prot paladins can deal with those adds casting by talenting into divine toll…so blizzard likely wants to change the challenges to accomodate the new spells/utilities that classes/specs now have.

Yeah this is the trickiest piece in my opinion. Mage Tower Equity. All challenges aren’t the same. I’m currently sitting at 24/36 challenges done. I was working hard to complete as many as I could before DF dropped b/c I knew something like this would happen.
When it dropped in December of 2021 I took over 100 tries on Veng DH, probably close to the same on Frost Mage and Ele Shaman. Ret Paladin took me less, probably more like twenty. Went into Tugar on BM Hunter and WW Monk and having confidence from beating the others it was just EZ mode in there.
I decided first I wanted all the mogs so I picked the easiest challenge for each class (minus Druid b/c that Guardian tint ruled). Doing none of the healing ones I then tried Resto Shaman b/c I’d been playing it a lot in keys. That challenge was so hard. Couldn’t get past phase 1 b/c those fixate adds on the fourth wave hit me so hard.
Went in there on a Holy Paladin and got to Phase 2 on my second try. Just couldn’t believe it.
Anyway I enjoy the challenge but the fact that some fall over and others are really tough isn’t my favorite thing. I wish they’d all take about the same number of tries but I get that it depends on your skill and knowledge of the class too.
For example, I played a lot of Prot Paladin main. Went in there and one shot that challenge.
After I completed my first six, I farmed SoO gear for all the challenges w/ the Ravaged Seed Pod trinket which helped the others.
Anyway I really miss it and cannot wait for it to come back so I can finish up the last 12 I need to beat plus the Evoker challenges when they add those
yeah I noticed all my SoO gear is no longer any good. Got nerfed a ton.
I’d love to see them give you a gear set too instead of being able to farm things that make it easier, but maybe you didn’t want to do Chromie time on 12 classes to get all that gear? Just give us a gear set that they know is ‘balanced’ and let us work with that for the challenge.
When I started mine there was a prelude of obtaining gear that would make it possible or easier. This isn’t the same for everyone but having a static set of gear designed for the encounter would eliminate that prelude and would abolish whatever mysticism someone has about being underpowered so they can better focus on their skillset.

Not sure if its been specified or not yet, but are the rewards going to be the same? I skipped Shadowlands entirely and just came back after a 2 year hiatus. I definitely want that Priest t20 recolor! Will be bummed if i missed out on it entirely
yeah, the exact same shadowlands rewards for the mage tower will be returning with it in DF.
hopefully soon after launch
Hopefully, but honestly it likely doesn’t matter too much in the short term.
This “in-between time” was the perfect time to be doing challenges like this.
I get why it went away. Still though, it isn’t as if xpac launches are “short on content”.
They need to work out a way to keep this stuff in for these interim periods (when it matters most) with little to do.
Looking forward to more details soon!
