It seems that since Legion Remix went live the mage tower tank challenge on retail got bugged. The mobs have twice the hp from before and they also do twice the amount of damage.

It’s not just the tank challenge. All the challenges have been affected.

It’s bandaid fixes to counteract the exploit with crafted gear, but about 9 months too late.
Which makes you think why couldn’t they just completely patch out specific auras and buffs with broken (down)scaling out of the scenarios instead, because players still attempting to beat them the intended way without any shenaningans are now facing twice the challenge.
It’s peak clown show. I’m feeling secondhand embarrassment just commenting on this.
Mage Towers were a complete joke on release due to unsanctioned bugs. The scenarios were also broken on Timewalking re-release because of socketed gear. Same thing today as I’m seeing some videos on youtube with tier set bonus somehow working, and we all know that all these extra aids (external powers) were never intended to function inside of said scenarios post Legion expansion.
Something something prestige and sense of accomplishment, well done 
And no, I’m not divulging any newly discovered methods, this is all public knowledge by now, much of which was originally disseminated by Blizzard’s own partners and contractors.

At this moment have given up. I managed to clear the first stage, but the second stage is just impossible at this moment. I am getting one shot even with defensive CDs up. I saw a video on YouTube about the healing challenge. Same one-shot crap there.
Pretty sad to now understand the incompetence of Blizzard has been going on for that long. Took me 5 seconds to come up with a solution. The mage tower comes with a predefined gearset with the right stats for X spec. Since these challenges should be about skill and not gear, it would solve all the ‘cheating’ problems.

Everyone has been naive in their belief the devs couldn’t repeat the same mistake for the third time, but they still somehow managed to.
This last incident is the fourth and completely separate failure in itself and and utterly insane approach to a problem that has been ignored for too long, which had garnered some attention only because of the druid skins fiasco in remix game mode.
The original challenges stopped making sense already one patch later and before the end of Legion they had become a complete faceroll because of the massive gearing power spike.

A lots of things in retail are bugged due to remix, instead of fixing them we’re hearing about hearthsteel.
