Mage Tower Scaling Off

Love that they’ve kept Mage Tower difficult but with the pre-patch the scaling seems bonkers. Guardian druid version I can’t even get to phase 2 anymore. Anyone else noticing this?

I’m experiencing the same thing, tried to do the mage tower for Havoc DH and I was basically getting 1 shot. Don’t think the scaling is proper like you’ve said. Hoping there is a look into this later down the road as the focus seems to be for TWW.

I’m trying to do it on unholy DK and i cannot pop the big demons shield with everything on her nor do my interrupts interrupt anything so something is definitely messed up currently with at least unholy DK mage tower

Yeah it’s bugged for sure… I barely managed to do Fury warr after prepatch and ele shaman is just not doable… same for enhance. The average dps is around 1.9k which is not much to finish the fight within 10 minutes

Yeah…just spent ~40 minutes unable get close to phase 2 on my bear. Meanwhile, I think back on how I went in a few months ago on my BDK and easily one shot the event with no trouble whatsoever. Meh.

I’m struggling myself, I’m probably at +40 pulls around 100 total from trying years ago. Now with the pre patch tuning I can’t get Varris past 40 percent before I make some form of a mistake and wipe. I’m all up for a challenge but I’m hoping they (PLEASE) tune things down a bit. It should feel difficult I agree, but not impossible.

Yeah scaling is off. Near the end of DF season 1 I was doing the ret mage tower and was just having issues with the end. Now I can’t even break the Runeseer’s absorb without wings up and he eventually starts spamming that all the time.

Man, glad I checked this thread out before keeping going, spent hours running this yesterday on Arms Warrior, managed to get to the final stage but could never get the final boss past 50% health before running out of room. Hope they fix it soon!

I finally beat Varris in Phase 1 and got Kruul down to 10% until he healed back up to half hp lol!!! I want to feel excited….but I don’t. It would have been better for the devs to disable the tower temporarily rather release it this current state. I have spent almost 100k on preparation and repairs. Easily at +100 pre patch pulls

I’m convinced with another 100 pulls I’ll eventually manifest the perfect run and beat Kruul. However with all of the stress this level of difficulty added to the challenge I feel burnt out and it’s not even TWW yet. Normally I’d be pumped after succeeding at something that was difficult for me……this feels like I was barely defending myself from a violent attacker lol (dramatic, I know). Im not left feeling proud, I’m spent….tired….exhausted…I think I will actually just turn my pc off for the rest of the night now.

As I said before I’m all up for a challenge but leaving it this way for a month at the end of an expansion seems like cruel and unusual punishment at this point. Good way to ruin the vibes……

Having trouble as well on Guardian druid, but my problem is that there is something that keeps pushing me off the platform, and no, it’s not the big infernal guy’s spell, it’s someting completely invisible that apparently comes out of nowhere. I don’t think it is the eyeballs either, at least I don’t see they have that spell, but correct me if I’m wrong

Can somebody help me on this one please? the challenge itself its hard and this doesn’t make it any easier

yep tried recently arms warrior mage tower challenge got to the second phase, boss has almost 900k hp, scaling is way off.

I just tried the UH dk one and the imps are hitting me 1.5k+ right away per half of a second and there’s 3 of them at the start I instantly die lol.

The scaling is insanely wrong here for this fight…

After 5 days and over 100k spent on trinkets, enchants, and potions, I can confidently say this mode is broken, It’s incredibly frustrating, to the point that I’m considering quitting.

The game just seems to enjoy spitting in my face, making me feel like I’m not good enough to play it.

We have the same Gear from DF, but the Boss has more life

The scaling in this thing is WILD, blizz needs to get their act together and fix this nonsense, just let me blast through this without having to spend thousands of gold buying old gear swapping enchants and gems. Give me a break. Literally being punished for not doing this when it was relevant.
