I want the mage tower to be hard but there is a difference between hard and impossible.
The “7.3 outgearing” argument ignores the fact that in TW everyone scales down to lvl 45 and all gear scales down to ilvl 50.
Currently, it feels like the TW scaling is not tuned. The bosses themselves have a lot of health and their abilities do way more dmg while ours don’t.
On my havoc DH, I scale down to 7k health, razor ice from Xy has 1.7k health and does 3.5k per tick, while my immo aura only does about 800 dmg… I want there to be mechanics to do, but not unavoidable mechanics that kill me before I can complete said mechanic.
It’s much harder than the original. In fact, it is way overtuned. Some specs cannot complete the challenge. Gear is irrelevant because we all get set to 50. You simply cannot do enough enough DPS to deal with some mechanics.
If you think it’s fine, then you simply are flexing epeen. Getting killed in an unavoidable stun has nothing to do with talent. Getting overwhelmed with adds because you cannot do dps fast enough while kiting or you simply cannot do any damage while kiting to avoid a one shot has nothing to do with talent. It’s overtuned to the point where it is impossible for some classes and specs.
They need to nerf HP across the board by as much as 10%.
I watched a video of legion and a video of now for the mage tower healer challenge and the dmg the blade dance from the soldiers is doing now is like 4x the dmg from legion and its literally almost impossible to deal with wave 4 with double soldiers.
I beat the feral one in 2 attempts in legion. I beat the fury one in 7 attempts in legion. I just wiped 20 times on timewalk mage tower as fury, then unsubbed and told them why. Agatha was possible for fury because of our artifact weapon ability Odyn’s Fury. Period. Without it it’s a fkn nightmare. Oh and the bracers that healed for rage spent was pretty huge too back then.
Looking at videos from way back Legion and yeah, look like now is mistunned
I think it should be tunned a little lower (ilvl 55-65) instead of what we have now (ilvl 50), it should be fun, not “subcription cancel” inducing right now… or just allow at least armor sets bonus (or at least the stats bonus) enabled
or maybe the issue is the whole lvl and ilvl re-sync working bad with unnintended concecuences and need to be changed and redesigned
