Reported this issue and got the standard response that it’s working as expected. I responded to each of their justifications and got the same response each time. I even showed that I could start a character that ran through cataclysm instead of legion and which was able to cakewalk the exact same quests – still they say, it’s working like it’s supposed to. The following was my feedback to them. As is, I don’t plan on following through with these quests for my legion bound monk.
You said to post on the bug report forum. There are several bug reported posts complaining about this very issue. Sometimes people post that they are doable, but most just complain it’s too difficult. Again, the time frame seems to revolve around Legion.
There are more. There’s a running theme here. While some are able to complete the quest after multiple tries, many struggle through multiple attempts before giving up. All of these complaints are from 2020 to 2021, about the time Shadowlands hit, though some claim this complaint has been going on since the creation of monks. Perhaps these trials were themselves a trial experience by Blizzard to see if they wanted to expand them to the other classes and seeing how players responded to them, decided not to.
I get the feeling that Blizzard set these up for dedicated players who have a good sense of timing and want to get to know their characters well enough to participate with the highest level of dungeon raiders. Yet, I doubt the majority of players fall into that rank and therefore many players are bound to end up dissatisfied with these side quests, perhaps ignoring them completely. I fall into that latter category. I enjoy playing the monk class but I don’t want to know the timing for my skills that well.
