Hey all,
I’m starting to prep to suffer through this guardian mage tower 
for this werebear. Can anyone confirm that the crafted dreadful guardian set is still viable? Also if so, if anyone is willing to craft me the items with the relic of the past V please let me know how much gold you’d want. It would be appreciated as The ones currently on the auction house are for transmog only and none are crafted with the relic. Thank you all in advance regardless of outcome my peeps 
Relic of the past is only if you’ve crafted it yourself in chromie time as far as I know. Not that it needs to be in chromie time but that’s when it’s used during leveling anyway.
Ah gotcha did not know that 
guess I’ll be looking for a plan B

Thanks yea I’ve been reading through this and others. was hoping to purchase some viable armor for this specifically as my game time isn’t what it used to be and I have a decent stack of gold I’ve accumulated through my alts from before the last break I took but looks like I’ll be farming some alternatives for a minute armor wise lol 
much appreciated!
Kruul is move about execution than it is gear, though having optimized gear does make it so the challenge will be shorter so lower odds of messing up a mechanic.
For sure it’ll be trial and error. I’m fully prepared to get absolutely a** f***** as I’ll be attempting this with consolport as i currently play handheld on my rog ally like a good self loathing masochist would 
. It’s gonna be interesting to say the least haha
Be warned that the tunning is off on certain mage towers fights. I’m not saying that this one might be the case but don’t be too hard on yourself.

Unless theyve changed it recently, using legion atrifact weapon counts as 2x weapons allowing you to use 2 weapon enchants as well.
Haste + Verse was my go to for gear as well
It took me over 100 tries with Kruul.
What a stubborn sucker he was.
Then in a moment of clarity when I had to go to the bathroom I made one last attempt and it was so smooth as to be laughably easy.
I jumped up did a happy dance, almost soiled myself, but I wouldn’t have cared at that point if I’m honest. 
Hardest thing I’ve ever completed in this game, green fire was harder for me which is why my Lock is titleless.

Perhaps with the new hero talents it may be easier with just regular gear, otherwise a quick run through Siege of org probably would net you a complexly socketed set
Just farm the socket gear in mythic siege of orgrimmar.

Also with the way they changed gear recently I think I even dragon soul and throne of Thunder drop socketed gear that meets the requirements for mage tower.
And you don’t need to mix max it, as someone said it’s more about execution and knock backs.
The only thing more dps does is possible cut out an add in the last phase
Even that you can time out. Dont push phase 2 until the adds you do have are dead/nearly dead

I tossed on some stuff, and grabbed trinkets to help me deal with the adds like the egg thing from first boss in Emerald Nightmare.
But that’s not why I’m here. I’m here to tell you GET IN THERE! AND BEAT THAT THING UP!

There were concerns during prepatch but it seems this was just preemptive tuning to account for hero talents being added. Several challenges actually ended up being easier in TWW than DF, which was itself easier than SL.

I’m really curious now I may pop in with one of my alts to see, I’ve done the tank one as Bear but that was back with sockets and during DF
I do the SP one after every major change / patch just to make sure the strategy I have in the guide still works. It’s gone from me recommending people have consumables and be ready to play the final phase for at least 2 sets of runes, to me dropping consumable recommendations, to me just skipping the final phase entirely by doing more damage. I know it’s a different challenge but I’d be shocked if the scaling impact can be that different.
