Yes, you can do them on trial characters if you’re good enough at the class to make up for the lack of additional talent points. All gear scales down to a fixed ilvl in there.

There was a guy in SL called Bicepspump who is one of the main DK theory guys, he cleared 7/7 challenges using class trial characters just to see if it could be done.

Well i can only speak for my self atm at try 164 for the prot warrior one. Got help on reddit useing max consum and drums w/e but that damm Varris got way to much health. ( 269k) comapred to like guardian druid 90k hp boss or dk 180k. I always fell sort in the last 10-20% on him when the 3.-4. infernal spawns its just get total mess. Managed to get past him 1 time in that 164 try and got Kruul down to 2640hp when the last annihilate killed me :frowning: I dont think its impossible couse i see prot warriors do it … but its a nightmare if u dont have dps gear for it … :confused: ( I did the legion one back in the day and this is just another level comapred to that … and i dont had raid gear or w/e just normal mythic gear )

Does this mean the book mount is no longer rare?

I had it in shadowlands it was hard things.

That doesn’t matter really. But probably cause many people just don’t care enough to go for it.

That being said, the few fights i tried were about as hard as before. However for example comparing vengeance and guardian’s fight… Guardian takes 3 minutes for a kill. Vengeance took me 11. I’m sorry, this is not fun. It’s about as bad as doing Sylvanas. (88k vs 300k or higher health phase 1)

So what u saying, it’s still kinda hard?

Mhm, if you fail mechanics you’re dead as usual.

There are a lot of ways to fail the mage tower without failing mechanics :wink:

Its okay the boost money you spent and didnt get caught with is safe for the moment.

I found the holy pala challenge a lot easier than in SL. Can’t say for Legion as I wasn’t really around.

Currently 20-ish tries in for the protection pala one, feels very doable.

I wonder about the retrib one, maybe I’ll wait for the revamp.

Those are statistics from when the mage tower was first released to my recollection, but we did not have Tomb of Sargeras out yet, to which these challenges were balanced for.

U can’t buy mage tower u get banned.

There was a mass ban in shadowlands, everyone that bought it got banned.

They also removed all achivs + mount.

Your and my definition of ‘pretty easy’ is very different.
I would not say 15-20 attempts is easy in the slightest.

Varies on spec and the time you completed it. Overall, i’d say the OG ones up to 3 months in, before the release of Tomb, were much more difficult.

In Legion, doing the twins challenge on affliction was insanely harder than on my frost mage for example. Nowadays, however, affliction has a 50% spammable slow which makes it trivial.

Another example, the God queens fury in Legion as demo took 20mins (fight duration), because i had spent artifact power in the 2 other specs and my dps was horrible.

In the archmage Xylem one, DH felt a fairly less durable during the first phase compared to Legion, so i just leveled my huntard to 67, switched to survival and it was pretty much faceroll.

I don’t recall having many issues with the tank/healing challenges but i certainly did it in fewer tries this time around.

Is pisseasy on the sv hunter now. Almost as easy as the fury one.

Windwalker monk is incredibly easy though, so 15-20 attempts if you ask me, is leaning from easy to medium. I never play WW monk, and I did it sub 10 attempts. Like 5-6 months later, when I wanted to show how the fight works to a friend via discord, I 1-shotted it without a single consumable.

It’s just an endurance race though, and even if you make a mistake, you can easily recover as a WW monk. I’d rank it as easy as fire mage / ele shaman tbh, and I did both of these sub 5 attempts.

No idea about now though, as I have completed the most, and CBA going back since they don’t offer any rewards, and I already have the book and all transmogs on all 12 classes.

Windwalker was cake even in shadowlands.

U just kill and heal urself up 24/7.

How is windwalker easy though D: An attempt takes like 10+ mins and every mechanic is a oneshot
