I’m a casual player, I only have about 9k achievement points and have never stepped in raid in 5 years other than LFR and Normal. And I LOVE the mage tower, it’s incredibly difficult but fair. And it doesn’t require you to be geared out the wazoo with the way they tuned gear to scale. It’s a real challenge mode, and that’s incredibly fun and cool. However…with all these complaints and wishes to nerf it, I fear the worst will soon happen. I fear that it’ll soon be nerfed to all hell and then will just be a steamroll. I don’t want that, I want to be able to try my hand at something that is actually difficult and doesn’t require a massive investment in my characters to attempt. It’s supposed to be a challenge mode after all, so please don’t nerf it keep the challenges as they are.
Okay, you’re lacking context as you haven’t done each spec and class.
Some are fair, some are overtuned. Simple as that.
As I’ve stated another threads…
Doable for protection warrior not doable for guardian druid.
It needs tuned specifically for each class.
Fair for your class and spec or fair for all classes and specs?
See… people saying the mage tower is ok dont ever look at anything past their own toon.
Its not ok right now.
Op
You are a dirty casual and have no saying in this so just shut your mouth
Doable on Prot, yes, but still overtuned. Countless wipes at this point just fishing for a p2 with good enough rng to get 5k more damage before annihilate offs me.
100% agreed! The second annihilate hit sucking absolute monster and all my defenses are already used
For me the problem is always the fourth one, and the third one should NOT one shot you through shield wall but it does.
You have to overinvest in either the third or fourth, I have found no reliable way to save CDs for the 4th, that one is the hard time limit for me and it is always around 5k damage short of a kill.
Also, the npcs die too quickly.
Should also mention I am in full TW gear so I have like 2k more HP and(theoretically) more damage, but it does not really feel like it helps at all, I even tried using my normal gear and the difference is undetectable.
Oh, it’s coming buddy 
There’s entirely too much QQ on top of them having made last minute changes to believe the mage tower is just going to be set in stone like this for good.
Ya best get your appearances and achievements now so you can “I did it prenerf” later on
If they don’t do it this cycle I would bet 20 walrus teeth that next cycle it’s going to be suddenly easier with no patch notes on it anywhere to be found 
You have to have enough experience in the game to understand how dumb mage tower is tuned. If you are a mythic raider, or, possibly even better, a gladiator in PvP, then it’s tuned on the hard end, but doable. For the other 99%, good luck. It isn’t happening, unless you grind out TWing gear with gems and enchants.
So, if Blizz was going for Mythic solo content, then they succeded. But that’s it. They missed every other mark.
This does not apply to the Ranged Agatha fights. Those have always been and will always be easy.
The Legion time walking gear worth buying?
What I mean is, I have a full set of socketed/enchanted SoO/Chromie gear and it does not make a noticeable difference in the tower compared to normal SL gear.
The only things that are noticeable are the trinkets.
I see what you mean, I misunderstood TW.
You know how in mario maker you need to be able to complete your level before you’re allowed to upload it for others to try?
Almost like there’s a reason for that. Weird.
Have you tried stacking Vers? Or is there not enough to make a noticeable difference?
If only consumables were actually affordable.
My versatility is at 32%
2nd with the use of scale trinket 252, it gets me down to ~20% from max.
3rd one shots me through DR.
My Shadowlands gear I used on that char is PvP gear so it is vers heavy, did not help. P2 just needs to be perfect RNG get the uptime for the dps check.
