Mage Tower Strat/Help Thread

[MrExcelion]

Mage Tower going up shortly in NA. Post tips and other helpful info here. Make sure to identify the spec youre doing the challenge as

[FelPlague]

again this thing is balanced for ToS
and did not get tested on the PTR so strats for it do not exist

SO mythic world first guilds may get it, but other then that people will have to wait.
blizz said themselves, only a tiny few people would get it before ToS comes out

Without being funny, that may be what they said but that's not the purpose of this thread. It's for discussing tips and tricks to beat the encounters.

My personal prediction is BM Hunter will have an easy time because pet + mobility. Self-healing and survivability also could matter. Thinking 45 mins until its out?

And will this scenario count as Broken Isles like Withered Training? We might be able to bring in some outdoors buffs and items.

yeah... well it will take awhile for those to come out, and there will most likely be millions of guides/videos up before much usefulness comes from here, speaking it will last 3 days

Also keep in mind
It might be undertuned
It might be very, very buggy

Plus for tanks, what would be nearly impossible for a prot warrior/blood DK would be doable for a skilled & geared Guardian and BrM. Same would go for most dps; if the scenario is hard for a fire mage, it won't be nearly as hard for affliction.

yeah i guess? allthough i feel if it is they will revoke any people earned

912 Guardian Druid reporting in! I'm going to give it a shot as soon as it come up, so I'll edit with any finds/tips. Also going to attempt with a 901 Brewmaster, 895 DK, 890 Warrior, 888 Paladin and 885 Demon Hunter.

So the buildings do get destroyed then?

Yeah, they do. Then you grind another one. And another one.

[Plasmaxyz]

Mage tower is active now!

[Emerald Archer]

MM hunter/Spriest/FrostMage -
Quest: Thwarting the Twins - Raest Magespear slain.

You go in, he mcs a dude, dude chases you. Kite him to kill him, he'll 1 shot you.

Get him low enough, then the Raest guy will start to fight you, he summons packs of little dudes, focus Raest and aoe them when you can, eventually Raest will be immune again and you'll be fighting mc dude again. This time, hands will spawn, if they get a cast off before you interrupt them / kill them, you're ded/nearly dead, it's like a 3.2 mil dmg hit. Pretty brutal. That's all I saw before I died. The hands stacked up.

[TheRealMcCoy]

How long is it active for?

3 days i believe. Then Legion destroy it and it has to be rebuilt after a 1 day cd.

Marksmanship hunter - (The mage in our guild had a similar one by the rounds)

Sounds like it'll be in-line with the difficulty of the solo portion Cata Legendary Staff quest in The Nexus...which was one of the most frustratingly difficult things I ever did in this game. ._.

[Doomchicken]

Anyone done the tank one yet?

I wish it'd scale like proving grounds so that it stayed hard rather than "throw gear at it until it drops" which isn't a challenge, it's a time sink.

BM Hunter. Have to kill Turag and his worm. First attempt pets were tanking the worm. Turag 1-shot with a 3sec fireball cast. Second attempt killed him first. Worm had ~70Mil HP spits lava every 5 secs or so. Hit me for 250K and a sonic blast that hits for 3 mil or so. Couldn't interrupt those. Had binding shot talented so couldn't check if intimidation would work. Not sure Concussive works. Worm stays in one place.

[CosmicGuitars]

Having to pay 100 nethershards to re-attempt it is bogus.

Enh shaman here. Sigryn and 2 adds. The melee one will absolutely decimate you, the ranged keeps casting low-damage spells and interrupts hardly phase them. Lots of health. Not sure what to do yet.

[Alvito]

How long is it active for?

1 day for sure, up to 3 if it is defended when attacked.

That was only hard for a few specs others had a breeze in there.

people have already gotten the skin, in rogue discord someone just got it.

This seems impossible for arms, I get one shots, but this frostbolt dmg is to much. feels like I need spell reflect to help
