Ret Mage Tower

[Shiverghast-pyrewood-village]

I really want the mog set and ive completed the mage tower for ret and prot , all 3 monk specs and a dk one as well back in legion.

I completed the monk one this time around no problems, the mechanics were fairly learnable and straight forward.

However, the ret one is causing me real problems, this time despite me being able to do it in legion no problem.

First of all my healing isnt keeping me topped up, despite avoiding the axes, the shadowbolts and avoiding the fire. I SoV when its up too.

Second, i can interrupt the sigryn cast, the bladestorm no problem and the enrage. When it comes to the bubble cast i cant seem to dps it down. Some of that is because i have to waste globals on topping my healing up.

Third, valkyr. I feel this is just luck, ive had 2 or 3 runs where its been perfect other times its been at the opposite side when the bubble needs dps’d down.

Is there any tips, i may have to wait until the next legion timewalking to get it.

Ive tried stacking gems, i have hellscreams decapitator gemmed up. Ive tried stacking mastery and ive tried stacking vers. Ive tried a single target build and an aoe.

Is there any predictable positioning?

I also find it really hard to tell sometimes if ive set of a rune.

Ive pulling my hair out as i feel its based on luck rather than mastery of the mechanics just now.

I actually give up, its killing the will for me to play. For some reason on other classes i can make progress but the squishyness and lack of mobility is killing me.

Occasionally i get some luck and i get a bit further. I went back and tried the other monk specs and actually done well. Paladin feels off, no doubt its dooable but im going to need to step back before it kills my enjoyment.

5 nights ive been at it solid with different builds and gear set ups too. Maybe next timewalking.

The Valkyr feel like pure luck!

Did it in 3 tries, focus macro repentance on Sigryn before she casts Blood of the Father, Hand of hidrance or stun for Jarl when he enranges and interrupts on the Runeseer.

Keep Final Reckoning and Divinte Toll and/or Wings for the Shield and it should be no problem.

Healing Hands is a key talent, whenever you’re below 20% hp just WoG on yourself and you’re golden

since you have done it as tank in legion grab a shield and get it as prot. save yourself the stress.

As above advice use repentance on blood of father before it goes off make sure you cleave on all 3 as much as possible when safe to do. Drums is always good to use you dont need to kill sigryn so focus on which ever other is causing you most trouble. Hand of hindrance on jarl when he berzerks then kite him. Save wings for when they are all together. final reckoning seriphim for when you have to get through the shield.
Save golden orbs for use if you can t top yourself off.
