Rotating fear and mindbender + fade for the fel bursts makes it even easier. He will cast it on the mindbender instead. I never had to use PS using that strat. Gives you more time to focus on the adds if you’re not using the ravaged see pod trinket to cheese them.
I’ve never seen him swap aggro to mindbender/sfiend even with fade, but I did this a while ago. That’s clever enough though. 
Would note that the 8 pc set bonus from the night Fae set is active in mage tower challenges and it is likely the Kyrian set’s 8 pc bonus would be too, if you have them. Pretty low-hanging fruit from a gearing standpoint.
The biggest challenge for me turned out to be surviving Raest after Karam dies due to his increased throughput while keeping adds away from where the runes spawn. They will all spawn around the space that you start. I put a world marker down as a reference point and did my best to kite everything elsewhere so that I wouldn’t have to deal with puddles.
From a talent standpoint, I went Mind Spike build and the SW:Death proc talent. I know no one takes that, but it seemed to proc constantly and really made nuking down the hands with stacks of Spike, Blast, and Deaths breezy. Karam will melt from psychic link damage anyway, so it really pays to focus on banking some burst for the hands.
Approx. how many attempts did it take you?
Probably 30. Most of my attempts ended due to the rune, either misjudging when it was done or getting melee’ed by adds that were too close.
I did start trusting that I would get Karam down, so I started sinking a lot more CDs into Raest to get his HP low enough that I could manage his berserk phase. I also ended up paying more attention to adds than I think is recommended, DoTting them up in between Shadow Crashes to help thin them out via psychic link.
I was able to kill Karam and handle the adds well after some attempts, but I didn’t burn down Raest well enough early on to survive his enrage after Karam was dead.
Ultimately I didn’t want to bang my head against the wall anymore for an amazing transmog and ultimately couldn’t see with shadow form on.
Imagine the mage tower gave a re-usable glyph to turn off shadow form FX. How many people would do it then.
I would for sure.
Feel like I’m bashing my head against the wall trying this challenge. I get to the last phase consistently now after killing the brother but I can’t seem to get the adds down before the final phase.
Want some help? I can do a screenshare or something with you doing it and offer pointers, I’m sure you can do it!
I would appreciate it a ton! I’ll go ahead and add your btag you posted previously, if you’re ok with that! I’ll be on either later tonight or tomorrow night 
It’s a discord tag not a btag but yeah that’s fine by me

This is why I am terrible at it. I don’t enjoy using every tool in the kit.
What is cool though is that the benefit of knowing how to use those tools once you’re done is actually a lot greater in activities like M+ and raid than you might have appreciated before. Stuff like the Mage Tower and Brawler’s Guild definitely helped me level up my play.
