Mage Tower in Shadowlands

I’ve done fury war, ww monk, bm hunter and vengeance DH which are considered the easiest ones to do and they are. If your cc stop after 2/3 seconds then it might be that you aoe hits them and breaks the cc.

The ret fight is a hectic one and you need eyes all over the place. I’ve tried that one a few times and died when there was too much at once going on. This is so much a mage tower problem but more a me losing focus and not responding fast enough. I recommend checking some guides on youtube. Make sure to pick one that is a bit more recent since most of the older guides were cheesed with the oculus trinket that has long been nerfed now.

Whelp, i did the Balance one as Frost mage, which took me 40 attempts because i am a crappy mage and basically took that time to understand what Frost Mage does in the first place :laughing:

But, unlike Mages you don’t really have the toolkit to kite Karam easily. As a mage you just have a focus macro /cast Frostbolt on Karam, and you can keep that one Slowed while funneling your damage on Raest, Pet does the soak for you, and your kick is up for hand pretty much every time.

So as a Balance you probably need a really good speed buff aka “Bear Tartare” and personally, if i had to do that as a Balance, once i survived the 2 immune phase of Karam, i would go for the “Nuke Karam out of the universe” route.

Raest has a 3s cast Shadowbolt (+slight travel time) that, when Enraged, should take away 1,4k - 1,6k of your HP, so if you don’t heal AT ALL, it will take Raest 5 cast to wipe you.

Resto affinity gives you Swiftmend which is basically a Lay on Hands on 15 second CD, if you wanna combine that with a trinket option that gives you constant HPS(Riftworld codex for example) or some Leech gear, you can easily outheal the Enrage of Raest.

When Karam dies, Hands stop spawning, and at that point you just manage your life, the adds (which are a non problem) and the rune to soak, which you can do easily given Karam is dead and you can just Thyphoon adds away.

Hmm I shall give it a few more tries…I usually dash or bounce away and use typhoon and vortex…if all else fails…I do have a frost mage :rofl:

Thank you for the tips! <3

Cata heroic dungeons and thorghast? Aren’t those “current content” and not “remade of X things”?
I don’t Say Nerf It to the ground, i Say that It should not be that hard. In legion we had leggo and artifacts (borrowed Powers) and the possibility to over Gear It. Both of these things removed. MT Is Just unfair rn. I Say that things at a level of difficulty should be made as current content. Not reworks of old things!

It’s already getting a lot easier with the new talent trees.

I don’t use beta so i Hope so. T’ho Ty for this info.

The challenging part of the phase 1 of the guardian challenge is going to become pretty much trivialized because convoke can be used in there with the new talent trees, unless Blizzard decides to not make some talents usable in there. You just shift into moonkin and use hotw and press convoke and you’re pretty much done with it.

Making some talents not useable in there would be preety stupido imo

Balance had faerie swarm back then, pretty much a massive perma slow. Now it doesnt have it.

Ive not even tried the balance one, felt like a non starter because of that.

Welp, I just tried it on the beta.

I think they’ve buffed it in DF, probably to account for the talents.

The inquisitor has 50k hp on live and 85k hp on the beta. Kruul starts at 105k hp out of 320k on the beta and starts on 62k out of 190k on live.

average players are the only reason this game isnt over already.

If they designed all content to be doable by the average player the game would be way too easy.

Not even surprised! Most ppl was waiting for DF pre-patch so they finally can “outgear” it like in legion with the new talents!
But blizzard decided to punch those kids in the nuts instead!

And probably we’ll have more players to play with.

Hmm yeah we only have it in pvp still…I’m not sure if we had vortex back then though?

omg. another bad decision… why blizz…

we have mythic raid and m+ 20+ and 2400+ rating pvp for who wants to do hard things. MT is not fun of a challenge and it’s overtuned. it’s reworked content, so it should be doable by most ppl.

U just want the mount without any effort that’s why u want it to be nerfed, just go practise and u can get it.

I have one friend who got absolutely addicted to MT lately. He can’t, for the love of God, finish it on frost mage, he’s like 100 tries in, watched all the guides etc…

I might have to stage an intervention, but he sent me this gif so I should probably not worry

The only MT I’m personally interested in doing is the guardian one but I’ve been putting it off. Also, I’ve heard this one is quite a pita.

check your infos before sayin something about someone -_-
i don’t want the mount. im not even intrested in that.

ehh, not sure if content reworked as TW should be that challenging. if they brought it back it should be just for fun, not frustration. if it had super duper rewards then the challenge is fair.
