Oh so you use it mostly a P1 trinket?
I geared myself mostly towards Kruul dps check
I wished there was a bit more noob-friendly guide to get those 20%. Like explaining to a 6 year old who knows literally nothing about old expansions, what raids there are, what enchants/gems there are, etc. My head is spinning about it.

Honestly, do a run of siege of org on mythic and throw in as many +3 gems as you get. Those items also have socket bonuses so you generally get an extra +2/3 main stat from socketing them. Theres a lot of enchants that offer stats too on level 50 gear, +5 on bracers, +6 on hands, +6 on legs and so on.
BFA flasks, pots and food are the best.
Thats about it. Honourable mention to the crusader enchant on any str / agi class. The healing is nuts.
As an indication, my pala went from 384 stats to about 420 from one run of SoO once I’d gemmed and enchanted stuff.
You can get a +3 gem (bar str I think) for one mark on honour in org.
Thanks. Isn’t mark of honor something with pvp? 
Yeah they are cheap, you can trade 2000 honor, for 5 marks. I casually play Epic BGs and I had 398 on this guy.
Ask a friend! If you have a char on draenor happy to give you them. Otherwise they are likely cheap on the AH now, don’t fall for getting the expensive ones that came from dragon soul was my point I guess.
You see. i have no idea what dragon soul is 
I suppose an old raid. But thanks for putting me further into the right direction 
I started playing this game in Legion, and i know nothing from before that. That is why my head is spinning hearing all those terms i have never seen.
It’s good for Kruul as well, as it’s free damage while he’s standing on it, so if you manage to use after he leaves the puddle for instance, where you can have him sort of in the same place for a few sec’s, it’s free damage. I got a mate of mine who did the achieve because he popped the trinket, got knocked down the platform, but because he was in the puddle + dots, he died before killing the other guys =P
You don’t need to farm old content to get versatility gear. I just slapped on my at the time tanking gear when I did it, almost every piece had versa on it.
Switched to full versa gear, versa gems, versa enchants. Had 28% versa inside. I can tell it made a difference, although still feel it’s way overtunned for what it is, and I got lucky, because the 4th Anyhilation killed me, he was at 2%, but the NPC’s took him out LOL (finally got some luck).
Took me 300+ tries easily (probably more), some of them testing gear, some testing foods, but yeah, finally got this. To all of you guys, keep trying. Full 28% versa really helped me out in transitioning in a more stable way to P2, to be able to try it more times in a row. Again, keep pushing, and hopefuly you’ll get it.

Yeah i just prefer to have non-zone based damage trinket, did not want to go greedy to make him take more damage and get smashed out of the platform trying to make Kruul stand inside of it.
GZ! You got him the same way i did, but Kruul was at like 0,1% when i died.

‘Planning and prep’ including farming old gear instead of current gear. To farm gold for solo content that originally on it’s release in Legion was much different and in a lot of cases ended up harder because of poor scaling/tuning unless you had specific gear?
You realize originally how short this event was going to be but it got extended I guess cause it’s literally some of the only ‘new content’ for the patch.
It is, if they’re talking about wanting a challenge. In fact, they’re not wanting a challenge. They just want bragging rights. That’s the logic, as you’ve continued to prove.
It’s not wrong if the person is trying to brag about beating it in it’s current state, unless it’s at lower levels with unenchanted heirlooms and no consumes it’s hard to take said people very seriously trying to brag about it and how others should just ‘l2p’

Lmao, why should anyone purposely use worse stuff than what they’re usually playing with?
If they’re actually in it for the challenge they would, and two in a lot of cases people are not just using ‘what they have on them’ unless their current sets are already pretty good for the content. Like for the guardian MT, stacking some good Vers stuff and maybe mastery too.
If they want to make the claim ‘it’s not about the gear, I’m just a good player and it’s more about who is behind the keyboard than gear/enchants/consumes’ then they need to demonstrate that argument. 
Also glad to be reminded you only seem to make bad faith arguments, bye again!

Lmao, no.
I’m not gonna start playing with my left-hand on the mouse just to make something more of a challenge.
what i don’t understand is that people telling they dont have the time to run old content but 4 times killing the first boss of emerald nightmare or iskar from hellfire wod 2x takes around 30-40min. Magetower is up since 2 weeks now and 2 more weeks. You could have done it already 2 times and now is reset so another run if they haven’t dropped yet
Grab those trinkets. they do more damage than all gear with sockets! it is around 20% plus the potion of fury another 10% (200g on my server)
all other gear stuff is optional and not required but grab some huge dps trinkets instead of typing here in the forum.
if it makes it easier do it now and dont wait for any nerf. if you want it work on it. Many of us did this already
a yes mage tower is like cuphead the indie game. you can make it hard or play with chaser ammo and go the easy path
Almost all vers gear, check. Blood-splattered scale, check. Never even did the Legion tower the entire expansion but is now talking about how the current version isn’t an issue and people should just ‘go farm the gear’ and ‘go buy the consumes’, check.
We’re aware you chose the easy path, but for many it’s not entirely that easy. 
Plus, having to go farm old stuff for time-walking mage tower shouldn’t be a thing in the first place.
It is knowledge of what to farm. I did Siege of Orgrimmar yesterday and it took over 2.5 hours. It was my whole evening of playing. I can understand people saying that it is not worth it. Blizz should just tune the MT in a better way so we do not have to do this.

OK this is my last message to you because I really cba talking with broken records repeating the same things over and over and over again but this entire argument is nonsensical. You are literally grasping to it because you have nothing else to say.
If something is easy by default without any preparation then how can people prepare or try new strategies to overcome said challenges?
Your argument is the same as saying “pfff if you want a challenge you shouldn’t kill the eyes, and the Infernals in P1, the fact that you kill them means that you want it easy, and Kruul? A real challenge lover would not use mitigation on Annihilate”
That’s how you sound.
My actual impression of what you and others are doing is more trying to ruin others happiness for beating it with your broken records messages because you and others are frustrated that you can’t beat it.
Yeah there are some clowns, as I said before, that will brag and spam stupid things like “skill issue”, l2p and so on. But you aren’t just going against those with your statements.
On the other hand saying that whoever is sitting in front of the computer has no effect in the challenge but it’s all on the gear/ench/consumables is frankly stupid.
A real “challenge lover” play by ramming their face on the keyboard, so they can’t even see what they are doing.
Left handed pff, trying to ease the challenge I see.
Pickpawkit needs some help I think 
-Siege gear has no vers on it , and it’s sockets for Main stat if someone decides to use it.
- its an MMO , gear and progression affects outcome. Its a balance between player skill and power via gear / consumes etc. Better players require less power by compensating with skill, skilled players can leverage both or afford to have less power via gear.
- by removing players power via gear etc you would end up making it harder for the average Joe, currently it’s tuned around SL gear. You can reduce the skill ceiling via power from gear / consumes ( hallmakes of an MMORPG)
- creates activity in the wow economy via player trading and use of old enchants and consumes.
- it’s a challenge , not an “attendance trophy”.
- based on how many guides / screenshots/ randoms in oribos running around in their sets It seems very achievable with perseverance and following the learning curve.
Mage tower in legion was the same , going in with legendary and 4 set made it alot easier , as did consumes. As the patches went by it got even easier due to power creep.
Mage tower in legion was even more gated due to currency required per entry and being locked behind rotation events on the broken shore.
Most players who got it early in legion required triple digit pulls
Any visitor to this thread should check the posting history of the most prolific posters in this thread, surprise supine they have been posting about Mage tower in umpteen threads and complaining for the last week. Unreal echo chamber taking place here.
Go read blizzards original 7.2 release notes
“There’s no gear requirement, but you’re going to want to invest in getting the best gear you possibly can if you’re going to walk out of the encounter with a brand-new look for your weapon.” On release notes , seeing the intention or bringing the mage tower back to a similar function , go invest in getting the best gear or spend the hours getting good enough to do it without the gear.
