Two times I got eye boss, really annoying on top of that that thing aggros somehow when I release, either inmediatly or delayed after I died.
The boss hits for 10% per random auto attack. I am full 151 gear so that shouldnt be an issue I did it with lower ilvl on characters with self sustain.
Welp… looks like I aint gonna be able to get a legendairy for this character then… lmao
You group up with other people and run it that way.
I’m gonna be real with you here if you actually struggle to do layer 1 then there’s something fundamentally wrong with how you play this game. You might want to work on that.
Sorry for the horrible replies.
It was difficult as a fire mage too, I got it on my last death. You just have to utilise counterspell as much as you can and constantly be on top of your cds. If it doesnt work I recommend running the tower again and getting better powers. The powers really matter and it sucks how bad the random chance of it all is. Night fae soulshape is what saved me being able to run around waiting for cds.
Well with the eye boss it has ranged attacks and it tracks you from a mile away.
I got it done with a group
I am gonna be real with you but maybe Ido know how to play cause I do fine in general but its just the bosses without the ability to self heal properly while constnatly ticking dmg… lol
Not always the case with mages.
They’re really squishy, got nothing going for them except the damage and blink.
On bosses where you can’t CC them. Welp good luck.
So unless you have gear to out dps your foes before they reach you.
You just have to play frost solo and blink around.
I despise mages, and it’s simply down to them being so squishy. Even rogues have more sustainability than mages have.
Am I missing something here? All bosses I did were ccable up until 10 stacks and I’m very sure I killed the eye boss on the first two layers and I was able to cc him.
there is item on vendor that stops any dmg from autoatacks for 30 seconds . and its super cheap …
Yeah, mage has that problem. Generally speaking, I approve of it, but we face some unfair restrictions on what we get in return.
Often, we can’t root bosses, which I understand, but it undamentally breaks how we work. I haven’t come across anything unrootable in there yet, but the expac is young. And even when we can root something, that doesn’t help us at all against ranged attacks.
I took the talent that increases your health, the talent that increases your Barrier absorbs, and the talent that heals you when you attack a new creature. With those in hand, I found myself tankier.
P.S. The Exploding 
talent is GRR-RRREAT! 
Not for the endboss, ofc, but very entertaining along the way.
Vendors are RNG… and the smoke bomb doesnt always appear.
I soloed up to layer 3 with around 145-150 as frost, wasn’t really that hard. Just make pulls around your cooldowns and use mirror images to ur advantage when bursting.
if you can get the “frost nova no longer breaks on damage” talent, make sure to line up your orb and bursts with that for permanent shatters as well.
I used lonely winter (single target dmg), chain reaction (helps on AoE), frigid winds (for kiting), splitting ice (all around the best), and thermal void for prolonged burst windows on elites and bosses.
focus less on survivability anima powers and get as many damage ones as possible.
hope this helps you a bit.
Low self sustain yes.
10k-15k shields (triple with lucky drop) with anima makes you unable to die solo.
Get some defensive picks next time.
Eye boss as mage: Interrupt and spell steal also keep moving.
Before getting to him: Get as much boost % as you can to your health and shields.
Sure, if you are kitted with alot off shields… I only have one shield and that doesnt absorb 10k damage m8. XD
Soulforge… did it on my frostmage just fine. Had no problems.
If anything I had a slight uhm hiccup with the other wing’s layer 3 final boss(The upper reaches I think it was called?)
You need to move back and forth with this one, make sure you’re out of range from it’s eye blast thing so the portal movement either back or forth helps with that. Not done it on mage yet as I only have this at 60, no other alts yet at that so not tried it with other classes yet.
As long as you’re out of range of that attack, you should be able to keep him away. Got to kite him so he’s slowed down and away from you. Using the stairs on either side is a good place to keep away from that attack.
Some classes struggle more tan others; for some L3 is a piece of cake
For some L1 is hard
The best thing you culd do is either overgear or to group up 
You have a anima that gives you all three shields, as frost you also have always two shields to cast due cold snap mate.
But then you base stuff on rng.
But I dont want to rely fully on rng ya know>? 
I can get away with it on my hunter/feral but not on mage XD
I also dont think most people whom mage want to rely on RNG when you have alot of classes that wont struggle because htey do have self sustain.
But I will try to find groups around, currently doing heroics on my mage thou.
