One of the big problems for healers is that they are made for filling cubes. Not keeping cubes at 25% health. Too full? Dead, try again. Another 10 minutes gone.

I solved this by stripping my priest of gear when I did it in Legion so I couldnāt accidentally heal too much if I crit and to make sure I could barely crit heal. Kind of stupid but thatās how I did it.
Maybe it is doable indeed by just having 40% of health. Then i can just full heal 
That is a good tip. At least neck and rings unequip. Then i still have my intellect.
So you never played chimareon in BWD
but that mechanic exist it is not used often by blizzard

I have no idea what you mean.
I think the MT is probably very hit and miss with the playerbase. Some love this kind of thing even though itās nothing like the original. Some loved the MT the first time round but donāt like this version at all and are struggling to find the motivation. Some outright hate this incarnation and it just feels like bashing their heads against the wall. And there will be a section of players who donāt even care for it at all.
The fact that it relies heavily on buying/farming old gear doesnāt really help IMO. Scaling simply does not do a good job and never has done in WoW.

There was mechanic that you coudnāt heal your raid i think more then 10 000 HP 
it was interesting they needed healing only when he was casting a DOUBLE attack or something like that it is 10 years so donāt remember exactly
i just want to point out that there was a mechanic in history of game where healer was not supposed to heal you to full and he was instead trying to hold your HP on certain % so you will not DIE but you will not be full HP
The idea of the healer challenge is to be as low as possible. It is just plain stupid. āyou are too good of a healer, fail!ā
But you shoudnāt be that low because when he after jumps on you you will die
There is sure a sweet spot that is the CHALLANGE of that fight to figure out the NUMBER
Lets be real here if they do a BASIC healing ā¦you wil ldo it like without any problem cause healers are pretty OP

For me itās mainly not about getting it now, but because I want to cross it off my list, so I know I donāt have to do it anymore later on. It sucks and I want it done. Thatās how I approach most unpleasant things in life - do it quick and be done with it.
Priest set isnāt āoptionalā for real void elves. Its the perfect coloring for them, so I NEED it. Same for the spell tome for mages, especially Archmages. Itās fits their character perfectly. No chance to pass on that.

Iām sure I can, the question is how long it will take. Other, better, players in my guild have spent many, many hours in there. Theyāve gotten frustrated with it, and a few of them have beaten it. Some have decided itās too much effort; and I now fall into the latter camp.
All activity for reward is a time:value ratio. In the case of MT, for me, it feels like the time is very high and the value is fairly low.
Worse than that, the time isnāt fixed or limited. Itās possible I could spend 24 hours over 3 days in there, and still not be able to finish it. And the idea of throwing time into something that might never deliver because I just donāt/canāt play at a high enough levelā¦ nah. Iāll pass on this iteration. That doesnāt feel like a game any more. It stops being fun when it feels unbeatable.
The funny thing is, they could have made a werebear cost 10,000 TW currency, and Iād have worked for it. Because thatās deterministic. Iād have known that I could finish it in ~400 dungeon runs. Itās a lot, but itās finite. Iād have sat there all weekend, probably grumbling a lot, probably drinking a lot, but Iād have been in the game solidly all the time, constantly queuing.
Putting it behind MT actually resulted in me not playing much. Logged in for a couple of weekly M+, logged out.
Whether thatās what Blizzard wanted is a question only they can answer.
I didnāt get that far, but yeah, I really didnāt like that part in the guides I watched. I didnāt like it as a mythic raid mechanic either (Raāden?) when a tank had to NOT be topped off. It is counterintuitive gameplay that goes against the design of my class/role, and it doesnāt feel good to me.

Chimaeron didnāt blow the raid up if you healed too much. It was just that it was a waste of mana to keep people at full hp constantly when the bot was online, they only needed to have 10% or more.
I havenāt either, simply because the rewards are very unappealing. However I also have the ability to look and see other peopleās PoV and sympathize that some people actually resubbed specifically for the new Legion timewalking stuff.
I can only imagine how soulcrushing it is having waited for a few weeks after 9.1.5 came out, with absolutely no content, then to wait for the actual content to come out, and itās so overtuned only the top 5% get to enjoy it

Itās not that hard, for instance letās say there is this Wallmaster Hand enemy that needs to be bursted down. Back in Legion it may have taken, letās say 3 Starsurges to kill it.
Now, after 3 Starsurges they have around 33% HP.
A 33% HP nerf sounds just about right.

On a side note - you know why I feel bad about nerfing gems and trinkets?
You know, farming the perfect gear for this challenge has been a huge part of the appeal of the Mage Tower Timewalking for me. I really donāt have any use for these sets anymore because I currently donāt need anything from regular timewalking, I donāt even do the weekly quests anymore because gear is rendered obsolete so quickly. But putting effort in the best MT TW gear sets was a huge chunk of content for me, and for many others, and also fun because I finally could use so many of my PROFESSIONS which are rusting.
The other thing is - many people have already beaten challenges with the pre-nerf trinkets, gems etc. So you only make it harder for the ones who are late to the party. This is really not a good way to handle your playerbase. If you nerf trinkets and gemslots, then you should probably retune the encounters as well.
(I have beaten 3 mage challenges by now. I am slow, I know - I have a child to care for and suffer from chronic lack of sleep which makes it hard to concentrate.)
Awesome. Thank you.
(I donāt suppose there would be any chance of keeping Legion M+ up, likeā¦ permanently?)
Hard Agree. Iām in the camp of somebody did it the first time in Legion, before Antorus. It was hard then, but I always felt like I could progress, or knew when I made a mistake.
Now I still have that to an extent, I know when I forget an eye / badly positioned, thatās fine. What annoys me is that things that are now fundamental to my character not being unfun to play are strangulated here, you lose the versatility of being able to find a legendary to help you overcome it (Farming current content is fine, farming chromie time TBC dungeons for extra sockets is just bad design)
People should be able to use ALL of their SL toolkit. Iām not even sure what the value in it being scaled is, so people can make alts to do it on, maybe?
Further enemy health nerfs are needed, for sure. Especially Kruul.

Change Mage Tower to a legion template with our old abilities+Artifact abilities/trees and our choice of 1 legendary to use for the fight. It would be great to play my class as it was in Legion again and further, for those that didnāt get to play every class/spec in Legion to see how each was to play then.

Or at least use Legion legendaries and such because they are not really hard to get anymore (you can target the desired ones).
