l’m trying to get the Guardian druid mage tower form. l have over 300 pulls now, l keep getting to the second phase and get to 2nd boss down to 10-7% HP consistently. My issue is that when ever l need to grab the holy light. they keep spawning 2 of them inside each other. So that make is impossible for me to clear it. because, annihilation will one shot you… so what do l do??? please nerf the 2nd phase
Edited: 05.07:
Today l completed the Mage Tower guardian challenge! so happy! But honestly, l still think it needs some nerfs and fixes… spent 30k gold on consumables and repair. l know people spent way more, but that’s for gear and gems etc. l went in with current gear, and l used 2 trinkets from the first boss of emerald raid, and also used the Ursoc artifact weapon, so l could use 2x shadowcore oil
l’m using the correct consumables and problem isn’t DPS. is just that the holy light spawn on top of each other, so l don’t have anough holy light to step in for the 4th or 5th annihilation…
If the boss is at 7 or 10% on the 4th / 5th annihilation its most definitely a dps problem. The final boss spawns at 30% so if you get him to 10% by the 4th or 5th annihilation hes really at 30% health.
You have enough CD’s to survive x? (4 or 5 annihilations - unsure). If hes not dead by then the solution is more damage.
As somebody who finished it: yes it’s overtuned. Nerf would be justified.
I also recently completed Holy Priest challenge (so I got the book mount and I have 9 out of 12 classes completed) and that one needs serious nerf too in last phase. The boss should have like -10% or -15% HP.
Blizzard was really unclear for who are they doing the challenges (top 1%? top 20%? top 80%?). And imo it backfired. Also rewards are too good for it to be only attainable for top few %.
Prestigious elite rewards should come in a form of titles and achievments. Not mounts and transmog - transmog are severly lacking in the game, customization is low and we don’t need it to be tied behind super hard challenges.
That said, there are still challenges that are too easy (Fire Mage). The balance is out of window completely.
I agree… I did it during Christmas break and it was the culmination of the bad decisions driving SL so far. No wonder the numbers are lowest in wow history. Even darksouls is easier than wow
The WoW currently is extremely idiotically designed…
half of the content is mindnumbingly easy where the only difficulty comes from challenges you took on yourself, because you try to speedrun it as much as possible because of how boring it is (pulling as many mobs as you can etc.) - like questing…
and the other half (like raiding) is too difficult …
basically there’s no way for players to transition from one content to another as the skill requirement gap is absolutely insane
in past questing was much harder (like classic, you tried to quest in groups, because it’s easier) and then going into raid wasn’t such a leap (and also raids were simplier)
so essentially wow eliminates the largest group there is - casual players… only people who like collecting, story (I guess not after SL) ,basically gamified facebook or some hardcore content remains - but those are small groups
casual player doesn’t have a challenge that he can beat and has basically nothing to aspire to (the only other content he can do is insanely hard)
