I wish they wouldve given us template gear to do these and balance around that.This scaling is hot garbage.
Yes, their strength is pretty normal for a character doing the challenge in SL gear (actually on the low end), but their secondary stats are practically nonexistent by comparison. That does result in a huge DPS loss, and makes completing this challenge like this very impressive (although yes, a big reason it's possible is that paladins don't need HP for the last 3 annihilates, since they're immuned/AD'd).Also slightly out of date, as they've done the challenge without crusader, just to help put that to rest.https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/mage-tower-is-too-hard/1152440/235Also, as far as the bear challenge goes, that's beatable without even using bear form at all, so it's not exactly highly tuned either.
If you want a challenge, don't use drums, potions and broken gear making you, even half naked, way more powerful than a full gear guy with current gear. X')It's easy mode, not hard mode.
Foolish video tbhThese challenges have different HP pool AND boss damage for each classFor example.. Xylem's Frost bolt hitting 1.200 to DHs, and 500 to Rogue. Same player HP.There's a reason why we saw loooots of warr, monks and paladins with the MT xmog on the first day. Try that "hard mode" on another class, clown.
Reminds me of the Paladin who beat Kruul with a grey weapon back in Legion.
Nice on his part, he's a really good player obviously, but oh man, why does my BDK wearing 17 str gems in addition to all the other non-SL gear and enchants has about the same str as a half naked pally? It's also nice to see him one shooting the eyes all the time, while my Death Caress one shots them with a crit only. So definitely a terrific player, but the mode could be way harder.
Come on! Do we really need more proof of how ^&*!ing stupidly you can cheese the mage tower?Nerf enchants, gems, and consumables and rebalance it to work with base stats please... geez!
I think that having access to all the old enchants/consumables/gear makes it a lot more fun. Now I can finally use all this old stuff I've been hoarding. It's like the unrestricted mode in Magic: the Gathering or Hearthstone.The challenge levels are way out of whack though. Blizz should literally make some of them half as hard, so it's closer to the difficulty level from Legion in Nighthold gear by default, and then let people cheese their way through it with a load of consumables/old overpowered gear if they want.I beat Tugar on my Disc Priest in 5 minutes in Nighthold normal/raid finder gear, but it took friggin AutomatikJak 15 minutes when he did it the other day. That is not reasonable IMO
Hardmode is to do it with badly scaled shadowlands gear
Nothing special about this. Just 'exploiting' gear mechanics that shouldn't really work.
Mage Tower Mythic mode incoming. all gems and enchants disabled. Reward : Recoloured Argus Tier?
My god, this just shows how horrendous the mage tower scaling is
