See, I keep hearing about the tuning of Mage Tower.

Is it actually overturned, or is it just really hard and the player moaning about were just expecting a walk in the park?

Its both.

Overtuned and bad players

I just gave it a couple of attempts before I get serious, and it is way overtuned, and noone can prove me I’m a bad player or anything, because these are facts.

I completed it as a VDH (same as now) in Legion with about 910 ilvl, meaning it was incredibly difficult. It took atleast 80 attempts, and I consider myself a really good player. Get the player errors and mechanics of phase 1 out of the way, let’s just focus on Kruul.

From 33% to 0, he did roughly 5 annihilates. No way you can squeeze less than 4-5 at that time since it was also a huge dps check, and if you get a 6th one, it’s 100% a wipe.

I still remember theorycrafting for VDH back in the day. It went like this:

1st Annhilate - Demon spikes
2nd - Fiery brand + demon spikes
3rd - Meta
4th - Demon spikes + Cheat death proc
5th - Nighthold trinket for fake death

Now, I actually 1 shot P1 since I practised so much in Legion (still had it in memory after 4 years), and P2 went like this (theorycrafted before I entered obviously)

1st - Demon spikes
2nd - Fiery + demon spikes
3rd - Meta with Fel Dev
4th - Meta
5th - Cheat death

I procced cheat death on 2nd!!! With fiery brand + spikes up, and with 90% hp atleast. He melted through me. No wonder I died on the 3rd one with just meta + spikes up.

It obviously needs tuning, period.

Do you actually have a point to make, or are you just provoking?

I think my point was quite clear.

You must have some nerves. Belitteling me over my detailed post and constructive feedback to make your di** look longer, but in reality, it’s probably a size of a leprechaun’s pinky.

Post off of your real toon then you little man :wink: Show us your character, and your videos of defeating the scenarios.

I can confirm that I did it as guardian druid earlier today. 50 pulls, but then I got it :).

Its not overtuned. It is how it was when it came out in Nighthold :-).

you just need to git gud - The Watcher
more like we need devs that aren’t inept and can’t balance their way out of a paper bag

If you feel belittled, thats a personal issue.

Im just stating the fact that you should probably put some effort in, before you instantly run and b*tch and moan on the forums.

Utterly weak and pathetic.

And this is my main

You can check my Druid, it has feral and bear from mage tower. Also my DH has done it as tank and my paladin as ret.

i’ll have a look into the MT a bit later today, but from what i’ve seen video wise from NA, it does indeed seem like it’s more or less the EXACT same as when it was first released, and not the “easier” version it became 1month or so before they removed it…

If true, then i’m happy they brought back the earlier version of it.

You weren’t stating anything. Your early posts were very provokative. If you actually responded like that, I would atleast consider taking it, even though your words are pure nonsense. The only weak and pathetic individual here is you.

You did 4 challenges, I did them all for 8 classes, atleast 25% of them during NH (when very few did it), the other 50% during TOS, and very few during Antorus with high ilvl gear, so I put in alot of effort then aswell.

If you actually had an IQ to understand my post, you would see that we are lacking tools and borrowed powers to overcome the dps and hps checks, and that I’m not ‘moaning’ without backed up evidence.

The experience now feels the same as attemtping it with 900-910 ilvl back in Legion. But you had tons of tools to bypass things (such as Prydaz which helped immensly from the get go). Now you are there naked with a bunch of stat sticks. And don’t even mention the fact that some classes right now really don’t perform good without the covenant abilities (VDH being one for sure).

Learn to interpret posts because you make a mockery of yourself. And the truth is that I did aswell, by explaining something to a short minded individual like you.

How is your main level 70 when the cap is 60. Also you are hiding your armory. Also also bear and cat druid mage towers were a joke back then due to leggos, same as the 2 DH ones. From all the challenges you two sure did pick some of easiest ones, whats next SL+Surrender to Madness=Hard ?

I did only bother to run it as guardian so far. Phase 1 felt really easy, P2 is where it gets juicy, racing against Kruul. But if you make ample use of your CC’s, delaying Annihilate with Bash, Roar, Typhoon, Orbs and then starting with Bash again, it’s absolutely doable. Netherspawns just died to Brambles and a bit of cleave. Took 37 attempts and felt absolutely rewarding.

do you know this game isnt supposed to be played just from the hardcore player?

The hardcore and no-live players are busy completing all 7-36 possible iterations of the mage tower :grin: The challenges themselves are living up to its name; challenging, but with careful planning and preparation absolutely doable.
Can’t agree more though that this should not be as hard so it’s only achievable by the most dedicated players.
The nerfs for Kruul are already showing. Fel Bears are all over the place in Oribos :grin:

It’s a classic character, so if that’s his main, he plays classic and doesn’t even play retail regularly.
