When are you going to post the update to the hotfixes that says “we patched all the loopholes you guys are using even though it’s not cheating. Players utilizing skills, talents and items to assist with boss mechanics have all been nerfed. However, we know mage tower is still over tuned, but we aren’t going to help you guys with that”.

Thanks , Sincerely
Blizzard "

None of these nerfs should have been implemented in this cycle. This is why there is a lot of hatred towards Blizzard developers. You allow some people to get by with bonuses like this and then nerf it before others can do the same thing. You’re shifting the goal posts midway through a cycle.

I can understand that you want things to work a specific way but that is what PTR is for but you don’t use it that way so you need to pay the price. The unexpected buffs/bonuses should have stayed for this timewalking cycle and then nerfs applied before the next one.

I agree, because many people bought things focused towards this and then Blizzard nerfs it. Now these players are stuck with a large gold loss for items are that no longer usable/worth it.

Hate to beat a dead horse here just… well going to do it anyways

I have to wonder if they pulled the achievement from those who were able to use the stuff they pulled from the game for the “hotfix” so they can struggle with the rest of the player-base of the game I would like to think I am a good player at the game being as I have been playing for a lot time, longer then I would like to admit and I can do the entire Survival hunter fight all the mechanics but don’t do enough dps before the room fills up I love that its a challenge just feels bad when I am using flasks food buffs potions when they are up and every cd I have on tap and can only get the boss to about 40% before the room fills and I get one shot. I will say I have had a blast learning the mechanics of the fight and its 100% a challenge just think it needs a little more tuning for the masses not just tune these special challenges for the top 1% of the players just my .2

Mage tower for aff lock is near impossible - unless you break encounter design - enrage Raest and kill the Karem and then drain life through the enrage shadowbolt damage. someone should look at raest health pool maybe remove some bring it closer to PTR. cause this is crazy.

Comet storm and razor ice are not the issue on Xylem. That’s like the safest part of the encounter. What’s need a check is p2 and the arcane ability where your in the clone room. The dot does too much damage combined with the slow. Cloak is not on cool down fast enough.

Well, it is a start… Just gonna throw it out there, Disc Priest damage has been nerfed countless times since the original mage tower….

And bears kits are entirely tied around borrowed power now too

I can agree, maybe increase spawn time between hands as well.

I don’t think it’s live YET. It’s still so difficult to beat.

This isn’t so, checked multiple videos I have from runs in the past couple days, and checked the HP on live servers. 10% drop has not happened yet

Probably won’t happen until Tuesday.

Uh… why is blizzard assuming sub rogue on Xylem is okay… if he had 10% less hp i’d win after 150+ attempts and 25+ hours spent… It’s clearly overtuned for sub rogue too :frowning:

Outlaw rogue too the reason it was “easy” before was a trinket that got nerfed. Go watch the guide vids if you dont believe i hope blizz realizes that.

You made the guardian druid encounter harder by making nether horrors stop in place when channeling. I had a ton of attempts prenerf and was consistently getting into P2 now these nethers are killing velen if you don’t aggro them at the right time.

How about y’all nerf the Tugar Bloodtotem fight for BM hunters??? Tug has waaaayyyy too much health and then you are required to nuke Jormog for phase 2? Hell you have to pop all cooldowns before you even get to nuke Jormog. I’ve done this fight easily over 200 times between my hunter and my gf hunter, fully buffed and gemmed out and still seems like this fight has to be executed perfectly to even get to phase 2. At this point, after playing hunter since 2006, I’m at a point of just throwing in the towel ffs.

i can last phase him but even with killing kram/ not killing kram raest hast way to much health

they need to add cov ability’s/ legendary and reduce damage raest does after u kill kram ive ran out of mana trying just to stay alive 10+ times last phase
