Started working on the boomkin one. Every strat video I can find is a sham. Even strats that worked a few days ago have apparently been ‘fixed’ it looks like. People were just ranging the shadowbolt casts because they were 40 yards… now he moves around…? So, people have been ‘cheesing’ it for the last 3 weeks and now you ‘fix’ it?
It’s impossible to follow half the strats. Like there is one strat saying you can beam the first hand and the third hand and just dots will kill them? If I’m not bombing star surges into them or actively hard casting, they aren’t dying. Half the videos people barely focus them. I don’t know what trickery they are using but, um, I’m not able to repeat it. This is of course using Fury, Warrior of Elune, and Stellar Drift. Why are so many of these fights dps checks that people are cheesing because of gear. So I guess I need to go farm some cheese gear.
I’m… mostly fine with figuring out another way to get the fight down, but am honestly… a tad salty that this content was released in such an untested state. Too many people were and still are abusing/exploiting the fights.
Complete joke.
Between them bugging out Karam with clone, ranging Karam, using now nerfed items… Whatever. This event couldn’t have been handled any more poorly.

Emulating people with TW sets is setting yourself up for failure. Just figure out the challenge on your own, it’s more fun that way.

If you sort by upload date on Youtube, you can find multiple recent Balance Druid Mage Tower videos. It’s really up to you to research and figure out the strat you want to follow if you don’t want to develop your own strats.

That was kinda the point though. Found one from three days ago and the fight has been adjusted further.
That’s all.
As another year comes to a close, we gather together to celebrate what we are grateful for.
I am grateful for challenging content in Blizzards World of Warcraft.

I’m grateful for WoW, there are less fortunate people in the world who can only play Angry Birds and Farmville.
About MT, Shadowlands gear is useless, I’m Ilvl 240 with gems and enchants and I might as well be wrapped in paper towels. Legion gear is a must and gem sockets make huge difference. Iv’e been doing old legion raids and getting further in MT every day. I got trink called Royal Dagger Haft from The Nighthold which is basically one free death which is handy for 2nd hand, but 6 min CD makes me wanna cry. I hope I can do it before next Tuesday when it comes to an end. I just want to get it done for boomkin.
I understand your frustration I kinda look at a bunch of different strats and vids before I tackle a specific challenge and figure it out from there by incorporating a few of my own ideas best of luck
I just want to replicate half of what I see in all the ‘strat’ videos and guides. The fact they are ‘fixing’ the fights now weeks in is just ridiculous.
There are strats that literally say just dot the hands and they die. I have tried two completely different gear setups. Burned 100k+ on just this fight. Have 4 others down. For WW, Enhance, and SV, I did nothing to change my gear. These fights should have had gear templates and made them about skill only.
The vids make it look super easy, barely an inconvenience, and one of them had like 550 int… how? around 440 best I can do.
If you can’t burn the hands with just dots, with a gear template, you’d be even less able to.
Templates =/= nerfs.
You have to actively target Hands.
And what’s weird is that they have been SILENT regarding anything to do with hotfixes for ANY part of the game when normally they will post hotfixes every week! Something fishy is going on that’s for sure.

Yeah, something’s fishy alright. Tons of houses have put up little colored lights and people are visiting their parents and family and holding these big parties and hardly anyone is working and schools are closed.
What could be going on 
If they have the time to sneak in little fixes when people find something to make mage tower easier and if they have the time to make post and reply about things that are mostly irrelevant then they obviously are able to fix things or at least say something to us about what’s going on or any plans or if they will ever even fix mage tower. Or even if it needs fixing in their opinion in the first place.
It’s just silence. I feel like its being done on purpose. Like, they know it’s making people furious and whenever someone goes to fix it some higher up walks over and places his hand on the guys shoulder and says “don’t fix it buddy I’m trying to line my pockets with those sweet sweet wow token sales. In fact, make it HARDER if they find away around things okay? Thanks buddy here’s a 1 cent raise”

Since the tower was pushed through to January because of tuning and Holidays I wouldn’t be surprised to see a statement sometime early next year. At this point the MT isn’t getting any changes until next Legion TW, imo.
No, it ends next week, and they had the last 2 weeks of this month off for the Holidays.
If I hadn’t just woken up, I’d post a meme or video of chicken little and the sky falling.
Too early though and I’m too tired. You can use your imagination.
People don’t want to have fun. They want to steamroll content, get their transmogs and move on to the next thing lol.

It is very unfair that someone else was able to make it easy using old gear combos and you aren’t allowed to do the same. It’s actually kind of surprising that is they wouldn’t consider old gear and scaling when they remade the tower. You would think they would have learned from all the previous timewalking.

Why aren’t you allowed to do the same?
They nerfed the old gear.
