PVPers need to get in on this mage tower debate

i dumped 50 attempts into the guardian one on the first day then gave up and spent almost a whole week farming this chromie time set, im wearing it rn so feel free to look at my armory and laugh at the time i wasted when the guardian challenge just got nerfed earlier today to allow far more room for error

I agree it’s extremely over tuned lol.

You beat the challenge pre-nerf. That’s all that matters.

I love the challenge. Banging my head against wall in the affy lock one and the assa one but making progress on the sub one so its all good. IF you are trying to roll all of them the first time around maybe you need to reset ur expectations.

Yo! For assa, literally only spam bleeds on all 3. Crimson tempest, garotte and rupture.

This next part is very important. Set up a focus blind on silgryn, blind her BEFORE the blood of the father’s cast finishes, and then break it instantly. If you let her sit blind, you won’t have enough DPS to make the check!
Use kidney on the axe guys bladestorm and enrage, and evasion after the kidney for the rest of the enrage.

Should be good outside of that, slam vendetta and vanish for triple garotte off cd! Gl my guy!

Ya. I’m actually bloomsday and flithron and amoranus, secretly a multi glad on every class every season and also a 5brain blizzard Dev.

knew it all along…

:astonished:

Yo, just to be clear, this was a joke. I promise, if I was a blizzard dev there’s no shot I wouldn’t have nerfed warriors in pvp.

And on that note, it’s almost 2022. Can we get separate balancing for pvp and pve yet? PLEASE?

no covering up now buddy…

I haven’t played in about 2 months. Last night I logged in, did about 15 pulls with 0 consumables. Then today I woke up and did about another 25 with (no drums though) and killed it. I had a lot of fun with it and I don’t think it is unreasonably difficult. There was a learning curve of dipping my feet in and then eventually getting the pacing. I’m not sure if there are addons or not with exact timers, but once I achieved a rhythm it was more or less just about staying on beat.

I’ve done just about every spec now, 4 fun gamer btw. Most take 5 attempts or less. No addons/announcements/etc. Just git gud.

Only did boomy and guardian cause it’s all I cared about. No special dbm or WA. Nothing but basic slands gear. Basic consumables, flask, oil, and rune sometimes.

Boomy took 4 tries. Guardian took like 2 hours to dial it in.

Mage tower was fun and challenging.

I did it in my current pvp gear and it took me around 15 wipes. I ended up having to watch a guide before I got it.

It’s just mechanics so anyone can do it if you’re decent at the game. I can see it being hard for PVErs though.

I don’t really care one way or the other tbh. I guess it depends on the intent of Blizzard here. They did market it as relatively easy, but it seems harder than many were expecting.

If you really want the xmog, go wild for it. However, it is optional content with only cosmetic rewards. People spending 100k+ for an armor set is nuts to me. The one caveat is the guardian druid were bear since that’s a unique model.

Personally, the armor xmogs aren’t worth it for me since they are ToS recolors. I would have attempted it if they brought back the weapon xmogs though.

i’m cool with the nerfs. it’s insanely overtuned. Right now it’s about 50% skill and 50% how much gold you have to afford expensive old enchants / gems / trinkets etc to cheese it.

I’m walking in there in my pvp gear with pvp trinkets and doing it and if i can’t do it, oh well

its really not that hard
