I’ve done all of Pandaria and Draenor gold medals and Legion MT with 4 different specs, but this is WAY overtuned as hell.
Back in legion whole expansion was designed on borrowed power from artifacts, legendaries and other passive procs, but now, everything is restricted and you’re scaled down to 50 so your gear is a bit irrelevant, except for sockets and I feel that blizz forgot to test it properly.
Right now I’m strugglin with Assassination challenge and only because of one reason: That boss have FKIN ENRAGE mechanic!! I don’t even remember if it has it back in Legion, but I also don’t remember this challenge to be such pain in the butt just for utter garbage efortless recolor of T6.
I’m fine with boss mechanics as long as I have enough time to beat it. But getting all 3 bosses Enrage after 6 minutes of fight makes me uninstall this crap.
I don’t recall it either, its funny. I basically 2-3 shot it when it was current / brand spanking new content and got it day 1 when it was available but I can’t even do it on my main now and its like hello?
I can’t do the priest fel totem one either cause I get OTK’d for doing it the way I originally did it.
I play sub rogue and the Xylem challenge is just frustrating! The mage himself isn’t the issue, it’s the last boss / phase - the boss and the adds just has too much health, pure and simple and the videos I had watched as a guide were from the PTR, only to find that the live version was buffed by comparison, so no wonder the videos made it look so easy!
A small update, I managed to do all three spec challenges, but i have one note for it. rip my 80k gold.
Both sub and assa challenge is heavily dps related which means you need atleast some old legendaries with triple stats, old gems for agi and so on.
The thing is, how are people supposed to have chance to kill this if they didnt played past expansions thus not having old legendaries ? Or better for getting the mount achievement you need to farm outdated gear for different alts to be able to beat it. and This is wrong.
For sub and assa challenge I would change two things. 1. reduce Sigrid and 2nd Xylem boss HP by 10% and/or remove or increase the enrage timer by 1 min.
In other words: both challenges are overtuned for players with shadowlands gear. I tried both with full pvp gear and 6x sockets but loses on enrage everytime, since i wasn’t able to put the 1.2k needed dps for this challenge.
For outlaw, I hate this fight for its rng of how you roll the leech buff, so you either survive or die. I would do the same treatment and thus lowering Agatha HP by atleast 5% and slower its dmg ramp up.
Thats the problem - it’s tight even with old gear. With shadowlands gear its near impossible.
I don’t see a reason why timegated content should be that much harder than in legion, just for cosmetic relocors.
without full socketed gear and old enchants (only sl gear and not everywhere gems) i everytime running out of space in last phase (at xylem challenge). so ill do probably to less dmg…
and what did blizzard? they nerv the comet thing, the part there u had only fast reaction and no gear dependencies… GG
maybe i try today some old legendaries with sockets and as i see old enchants / consumables are helping. thought it would not be needed. but the last dps race is to overtuned.
