So obviously bit of a change from PTR to Live!! Still doable is the good news. Kill video from Live servers. ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html UPDATED GUIDE - ruclips.net/video/CuLpjw01f7w/видео.html
@Phil Jermakian yeah just tried spriest one as well, it's overtuned or somethin. 35% of my hp every shadow bolt when i finish off Karam. i can't outheal it or kill him. doing every mechanic correctly, killing adds and hitting boss when i should. annoying as hell
Yeh they buffed this pretty large from PTR to Live. I did a kill video from live server if you want to see, same rules still apply but I actually went HotW over Bash to try and push through P1 faster to have less infernals in P2. Here is the video - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
i think they broke the tank challenge, they increased the damage of the first phase boss one ability by 100% but the nether horrors also have double hp from PTR and making it fucking impossible to kill them sometimes
Yeh big changes from PTR to Live, they turned it to 11 no doubt. It's still doable I've just posted a kill video but P2 is very unforgiving and turned super super tight.
I say it was recorded on PTR >< It was released BEFORE it went live too. I had no idea PTR was going to be so different to live, nothing changes though - here is a live kill video I did today - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
It was recorded on PTR cause that was the only place to have access to it, the video was put up the day before it went live... Here is a live kill, same things still apply - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html Certainly big changes from PTR to live.
PSA but they tune the ads and the boss for the mage tower so it's a lot more difficult than the video shows for example the adds take a lot more than just 2 hits to go
If you're thinking you need Chromie gear because a wowhead article said SL gear is the bottom of the dmg scale...well, here are my results from having 95% full Chromie Gear. I read the guide about gearing up with Burning Crusade Chromie Gear being the best and SL gear being the worst. I wanted to be a beast with the best gear so I started farming Chromie Gear. I spent the better part of Monday and Tuesday farming Chromie Gear by two boxing on different accounts. I am 238 ilvl PVE (252 ilvl PVP). I ran over 80 dungeons 2 boxing with my ilvl 44 ww monk so I could trade any ilvl 50 item with sockets to my Druid. I got every slot with sockets but the shoulders before I gave up. I had 17 gem slots to insert +7 vers (I had a few left over) plus meta, plus the rest with +3 agi. The result? I compared the stat differences by swapping my gear inside MT, ilvl 238 vs Chromie Gear ilvl 63. The stats differences were insignificant. Agility and Armor were virtually identical, but the Chromie gear had more 8% more stam but that was because I used a lvl 50 stam trinket which I have since dumped for the PVE trinkets above. Stam is not going to save you in this fight unless it is huge. The SL gear has 2% more leach for obvious reasons. All the other secondary stats traded off by being within 1-2 percentage point of each other, except for vers, with my PVP SL gear winning 31% to 19%. My conclusion? I should have spent all that time with my SL gear practicing the dance in Mage Tower.
That your for your time. You worked hard to gain the advantage. Unfortunately the articles were wrong. Thankfully you figured it out and willing to tell us. Thank you again. I was gonna farm gear because I’m 222ilvl pvp. Got no tank trinkets and I’m struggling. Thank you again. I’ll just get better at the dance
Did you try putting agility gems +3/4 in the slots > vers gear? With the scaling the primary becomes so much more valuable, that might make a little more difference for you. Bummer about this though.
Cheers for this guide, honestly I was having trouble with mitigating the damage from annihilate until I saw your little cheat sheet. That was the thing that got me the kill!! To everybody else there, I don't even main guardian druid, but so long as you get the SoO gear with some enchants (get that dragon thing) you will have no issue during the execute phase.
I keep getting my ass handed to me by the nether horrors. Does anyone else feel like its overturned? My damage is low and the horrors damage seems kinda nuts.
Yeah can't even reach phase 2 because those shits, they have a huge health pool, same with the eyes, you need to spam lunar flare at least 3 times to make them die, don't mind the infernal stomp, but there is a point where the eyes and purple ghost are everywhere they just don't die at all
Hey mate, with the nether horrors, ensure you incap roar the storm, it'll stop them from recasting, then make use of Brambles + Barkskin to nuke through them. You'll have incap up for every add set.
i love how u just ignore the adds that gather up and 1 shot them in 2 seconds without saying how and im sitting here spamming swipes and 5 swipes wont kill them but ok
I'm pretty sure I say it multiple times through the video.... Here is live kill though, certainly a difference from PTR to Live but still doable - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
The average player will have a huge problem clearing this. A large number of us fall into the category, including myself. I cleared it on my mains tanks when legion was current. But this feels so much harder. Velen is still useless and runs head first to his death. However, the Fel-warebear is nice so I’ll keep at it.
Came back for dragonflight where im gonna main a Bear Druid, Never tried the Mage tower before took me 5hrs to actually complete it this morning multiple 3% wipes and hair lossed but i did it thank GOD
Amazing Guide!! Watched this repeatedly for few hours, AFTER 126 PULLS.. Another suggestion would be setting the different CDs for annilation as Macros, just press F1, F2, F3, helped alot.. Thanks so much man!
Big changes from PTR to Live, here is a kill from Live, everything in the guide re execution is the same, just a lot harder on live servers now. ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
Hey mate, here is a kill from live I did if you want to have a look - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html Phase 2 is stupidly tight, 1 mistake and you're pretty much fucked in there and need a bit of luck with orbs.
@@Darkmech And hope that the squishy fucker velen doesn't get nuked by horrors because they don't decided to aggro you, and your unable to incap roar, or orb to save his wet noodle ass.
I was really bummed when covenant abilities got disabled. divine toll, elysian decree, spear of bastion, swarming mist and convoke would all be excellent here.
for unknown reasons they decided to increase the HP of everything xd which is fine but now the Nether Horrors just clap me and take soo much to fall over
I am struggling , I did this tower on multiple toons back in the day. I did not PTR test this one, but I am just getting demolished on live and I 100% remember it not being anywhere near this hard and for reference ( I didnt out gear when I did it on my bear cause I was boomy back then) have you had a chance to do this on live yet ?
Hey mate, yeh here is my live kill - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html It's certainly a step up from PTR, it really feel the same as when the tower first launched in Legion like that first cycle before it got nerfed slightly.
Got kruul to 1.6% but couldn't take a 6th tank buster since I don't have a cheat. Any chance near the end of this week or next we could hop in discord if I don't get it? I'm so close, just need a little judge.
Hey Dark, Glad to be back to playing wow after having to take 6ish months off for work. I feel like on live release today it is different than on the PTR for scaling.. what do you think?
It is definitely tuned higher. Variss has about 6k more health on live than he does in the video, and bloodspattered scale isn't doing nearly as much dmg as it is here
It's tuned a lot higher from PTR to Live 100%. I've got a kill video uploaded now but the difference is pretty large. I really enjoyed the challenge though, feels good to get it >
Quick question. During the Items that you named...TBC DUNGEONs/ You named them because they have 2 socket...but is it worth it??? they are low lvl...low stats..is woth the socket for an low lvl item?
Hey mate, I used the crafted glad pvp gear and put +3 agi gems in them. Ended up killing him, here is a video if you wanted a look - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
wow...crazy...you doing so much dmg..i dont understand.. and I have full 4agi with crafted gear 2/3 soockets. enchants..and im not doign that dmg...this is nuts.
I've gotten him to 24 percent I've been trying all day at first I would die right away went from 35 to 39 to 24 what I noticed it that it's muscle memory like the encounter had a switch or rybtbn to it it changes so just keep learning. The fight for myself I found the more i do it I get better it's just practice
Hey I have a druid that's like level 48, and a main character at 218 item level. And I am having trouble even with it on my demon hunter, do I need to change the current gear Im wearing to do this encounter? And will I have enough time to get my druid to the point of being able to do this before the week is over. ( I hope I do ) Im having a real tough time with it honestly.
All gear scales down to 50, only better gear is socketed gear and trinkets that have an ability. And you have 2 weeks to try it, then an 18 week departure until it returns again.
is this something i can still get? I want to make sure I can actually receive the mog before I grind it out. Everything I see says its only obtainable during legion timewalking event but im not sure if thats old news or what?
Hey mate, yes you can still get this now, it was originally only available during the time walking period but they changed the mage tower to be available 24/7 now. So go and get it!!
Great guide and has been very helpful in my attempts at this. The netherstomp has been such a problem for me at the end though, i try to bait them away from the middle/orbs but just the damage of actually getting stomped and the slow when trying to get to the horrors is the biggest problem (aside from all the other knockbacks and annoyances) Ive watched every video i can find on this and i have over 800 pulls.. =( best so far i got him to 2k health and Im absolutely losing my mind. Im starting p2 with only 2 infernals. Is there anything that im possibly missing with the puddle mechanic, i try to stay moving at all times but im still getting jumped on wasting valuable FRs and pots just to survive bad hits from the netherstomp. TIA!!
Hey mate, ok so with the Netherstomps, you can try when he jumps to change direction, sometimes what this can do is when he lands you're already well out of the centre of the puddle. If you can get this to 2k, you have it. You can 100% compete this challenge. If you're starting to lose your marbles over it, I would suggest a few attempts each day, back of the tempo and just know you have like a year to get this, you will get it, there is no pressure, you know the fight, just got to have that one pull where it all comes together.
@@Darkmech thanks for the response, I really appreciate it! Funny thing is, I beat it literally an hour after I posted that.. it was just really hard at first to pay attention to the netherstomp on top of everything else and I'd get stuck in a puddle and knocked off or killed before I realized it. I actually lived through it all and still had a health pot at the end, I couldn't believe it.. best feeling I've ever gotten from a video game! I watched a bunch of videos your guide was one of the best for sure, thanks!
Purely anecdotal BUT - just had my most successful run (still not getting to P2, got Variss down to below 20%, but had 3 infernals up, got punted) - the Decanter trinket (I have an ilv 177 version, no sockets or tertiaries) procced ONCE on variss for the bulk of the fight, did about 400 dam. Did not seem like a smart use of a trinket slot.

@@Nirr0 that is completely innacurate ive done tha gaurdian druid fight many times in legion. it is COMPLETELY overtuned right now. in legion you got 12 ticks of the horrors damage to kill velen, you now literally get 1 tick and velen dies. stop minimizing what you havnt even tried, go do it before you come back here and type that like an idiot lmao
@@Nirr0 I've also beat every spec for every class on Mage Tower in legion 2nd time it came up. It's overtuned right now, the Tank challenge and the Spriest challenge are the two i've tried so far several times. nether horrors are def overtuned, and you can't even kill Raest bc his damage after Karam is dead has been doing 35% hp per shadowbolt, not enough passive damage between phases with mechanics and adds to kill
Big changes from PTR to Live they turned it to 11. I've just posted a kill video from Live. All the same things apply, but yeh it's slightly harder now haha
@@Darkmech been grinding all day, got to 1.5% and a shit laser pulled me away from the last orb. been getting closer and closer, but it's the lasers f*ckin me over
Oh noes! what was going wrong in phase 1 for you? It's a big learning curve and sadly it just takes time (varies person to person) but you just keep going till the mechanics don't overwhelm you and you can make good decisions during the encounter.
@@Darkmech yea, its just a skill issue for me. Plus I am dyslexic and have bad AdHD. So I just cant concentrate on all that stuff. Haha I cried myself to sleep after finally giving up because I really really wanted that bear skin...but blizz doesn't make their game for people like me. Thanks for the video though! Loved it!
The real MVP. I got Kruul to 12% on live before I had to log. Got cucked because I had 5 infernals up. I’m finding my issue is the nether horror adds since my damage seems a bit low on them so I don’t want yo push stacks and risk getting owned because I can’t kill them fast enough.
The first 2 annihilates I'm just taking with IF it doesn't matter about being full on HP, taking an orb close to annihilate obviously helps too as it puts you back to full HP. Incarn is a pretty big factor too as enables so many stacks of IF to reduce the incoming damage.
Be sure with the adds to incap roar them when they cast the storm, it'll mean no recast and you can then use your brambles + Barkskin to nuke them down.
Make the most of Brambles + Barkskin on them and incap roar when the storm starts casting. Shuts them down and you can generally get through them pretty quickly. (speaking about live ofc)
This was the most awful fight in legion. Took me about 47 attempts. That's when you had to farm those nexus shards or whatever they were called just to do the encounter.
I can see them nerfing it, it took me approx 100 goes on live to get it, I actually really like it being tuned so fucking tight, but I get how unpopular that opinion is lol
This is NOTHING like the PTR.. This is effed up right now. Nobody is doing this day one promise you that. Getting one shot on this or velen getting one shot. I stopped after 10 tries.. Aint happening until they tune this right for live..
Hey mate, here is my kill video from live servers if you want a look - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html Certainly stepped up the tuning from PTR to live.
Hey mate, here is a kill video from live if you want to have a look - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html It's certainly rougher on live than it was on PTR.
Pretty sure back in the day deaths didn't affect your durability... Not only is this going to be time-consuming but it's going to be very expensive. Content at the expense of extreme cost IS NOT CONTENT
This is so fkin overtuned its unreal. This was pisseasy in legion, not even close to same Edit: Inquisitor Vari has like 55k for me. thats 10k more than shown in the footage, also the nether's have way more HP
Hey mate, here is a kill from live severs I did if you want to have a look - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html They certainly buffed this moving from PTR to Live severs I really enjoyed the challenge, but I fully get the otherside of it
haha grats mate, sounds like me, 6 hours on stream last night 3 - 1% wipes. went to bed, 0.34% wipe this morning and then killed it. What a challenge!! Grats!
Tell me why they force people to do this shit just to get a werebear, i hear they changed stuff even on live servers making near impossible to get as well. It is not even funny and a waste of time then?
So obviously bit of a change from PTR to Live!! Still doable is the good news.
Kill video from Live servers.

UPDATED GUIDE - ruclips.net/video/CuLpjw01f7w/видео.html
Imma need to see a video of you doing this now. Because from what I've encountered, it's damn near impossible
Yep they overtuned it for some reason. Harder than it was in Legion.
Ikr, I don’t they scaled it correctly or care about us
Agreed! Would love to see how he handles it now because this strat unfortunately seems to be smoother on PTR.
yea really, everything is buffed out the ass, like wtf blizz
I was able to do it on PTR with same gear and no consumables but live near on no hope
was gonna say i'm trying this tower right now, and my nether horrors aren't dying nearly as fast as yours
@Phil Jermakian yeah just tried spriest one as well, it's overtuned or somethin. 35% of my hp every shadow bolt when i finish off Karam. i can't outheal it or kill him. doing every mechanic correctly, killing adds and hitting boss when i should. annoying as hell
it was on PTR Nether Terror with 600 hp now they have 1800... god damn blizz
Yeah, my adds don't just die that fast. It's sad to see my encounter end after 14-18 seconds and me not knowing what I did wrong.
I don't even think I have passed phase 1 because the nether horrors. And if I have, I get wiped by the knockback or annihilations
Yeh they buffed this pretty large from PTR to Live. I did a kill video from live server if you want to see, same rules still apply but I actually went HotW over Bash to try and push through P1 faster to have less infernals in P2. Here is the video - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
For everyone, they tripled and I some cases quadrupled the hp of all mobs in mage tower making the mechanics quite a bit overtuned.
It's def a step up from PTR lol Finished it this morning, very rough but really happy to have nailed it.
i think they broke the tank challenge, they increased the damage of the first phase boss one ability by 100% but the nether horrors also have double hp from PTR and making it fucking impossible to kill them sometimes
Cool, it's not just me being crap. Thanks for this comment.
This is why I can't do it
Yeh big changes from PTR to Live, they turned it to 11 no doubt. It's still doable I've just posted a kill video but P2 is very unforgiving and turned super super tight.
This was recorded in PTR, not live. Live had shadowbuffs placed so it's not accurate at all.
I say it was recorded on PTR >< It was released BEFORE it went live too.
I had no idea PTR was going to be so different to live, nothing changes though - here is a live kill video I did today - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
Yea this is not live i'm afraid. Horrors aren't dying with 2 hits like in this video. it takes maybe 6-7 atacks to take them down.
It was recorded on PTR cause that was the only place to have access to it, the video was put up the day before it went live...
Here is a live kill, same things still apply - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
Certainly big changes from PTR to live.
PSA but they tune the ads and the boss for the mage tower so it's a lot more difficult than the video shows for example the adds take a lot more than just 2 hits to go

They tuned this right up from PTR to Live. I'm going to do a commentary over my live kill and have that up shortly.
@@Darkmech You're a legend
I remember doing this back in the day, probably the best expansion they've had in a long time
You're not wrong at all. Legion was fucking bang on. Had it's issues obvs in the start re legendaries etc but overall, so fucking good.
That's why it's been rehashed they have nothing good to offer so they brought the last good evergreen constent they made. Legion was the best.
Probably worth mentioning this is PTR, no?
I'm pretty sure I say it multiple times through the video....
Here is live kill though, certainly a difference from PTR to Live but still doable - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html

I've gotten him to 24 percent I've been trying all day at first I would die right away went from 35 to 39 to 24 what I noticed it that it's muscle memory like the encounter had a switch or rybtbn to it it changes so just keep learning. The fight for myself I found the more i do it I get better it's just practice
Hey I have a druid that's like level 48, and a main character at 218 item level. And I am having trouble even with it on my demon hunter, do I need to change the current gear Im wearing to do this encounter? And will I have enough time to get my druid to the point of being able to do this before the week is over. ( I hope I do ) Im having a real tough time with it honestly.
All gear scales down to 50, only better gear is socketed gear and trinkets that have an ability. And you have 2 weeks to try it, then an 18 week departure until it returns again.
@@samclark608 Will it be the same Felbear design? Because I think im too shitty to get it before it goes :(
Did you find this iteration harder than the OG tower in Legion?
On PTR it was super easy, On live now it feels the same as when the tower first launched - really fucking hard lol
is this something i can still get? I want to make sure I can actually receive the mog before I grind it out. Everything I see says its only obtainable during legion timewalking event but im not sure if thats old news or what?
Hey mate, yes you can still get this now, it was originally only available during the time walking period but they changed the mage tower to be available 24/7 now. So go and get it!!
Great guide and has been very helpful in my attempts at this. The netherstomp has been such a problem for me at the end though, i try to bait them away from the middle/orbs but just the damage of actually getting stomped and the slow when trying to get to the horrors is the biggest problem (aside from all the other knockbacks and annoyances) Ive watched every video i can find on this and i have over 800 pulls.. =( best so far i got him to 2k health and Im absolutely losing my mind. Im starting p2 with only 2 infernals. Is there anything that im possibly missing with the puddle mechanic, i try to stay moving at all times but im still getting jumped on wasting valuable FRs and pots just to survive bad hits from the netherstomp. TIA!!
Hey mate, ok so with the Netherstomps, you can try when he jumps to change direction, sometimes what this can do is when he lands you're already well out of the centre of the puddle. If you can get this to 2k, you have it. You can 100% compete this challenge.
If you're starting to lose your marbles over it, I would suggest a few attempts each day, back of the tempo and just know you have like a year to get this, you will get it, there is no pressure, you know the fight, just got to have that one pull where it all comes together.
@@Darkmech thanks for the response, I really appreciate it! Funny thing is, I beat it literally an hour after I posted that.. it was just really hard at first to pay attention to the netherstomp on top of everything else and I'd get stuck in a puddle and knocked off or killed before I realized it. I actually lived through it all and still had a health pot at the end, I couldn't believe it.. best feeling I've ever gotten from a video game! I watched a bunch of videos your guide was one of the best for sure, thanks!
They stealth over tuned it upon release.
Def wound it to 11 from PTR to Live lol
I originally found your channel when doing the Mage Tower back in Legion. Thanks for the content. :)
Thanks so much for sticking around and the support mate!
Purely anecdotal BUT - just had my most successful run (still not getting to P2, got Variss down to below 20%, but had 3 infernals up, got punted) - the Decanter trinket (I have an ilv 177 version, no sockets or tertiaries) procced ONCE on variss for the bulk of the fight, did about 400 dam. Did not seem like a smart use of a trinket slot.
The decanter is shit now, ToG has been fixed, DST has been fixed. I used Matrix and Loom trinket in the end.
My Bear Drood is pretty under geared since he’s an alt. Does the scaling here mean that your gear at 70 doesn’t matter too much?
You get scaled down/up to 50 so you're fully gucci on that front. The challenge is very heavy around mechanical execution versus gear sorta thing.
@Cosmicdru well Convoke dont work mate :)
@Cosmicdru i am not :) most of the SL dont work, Soulbinds legos and so on
@Cosmicdru spoken like you haven’t done it at all. Not to mention scaling is different than was on PTR
Where’d ya get the weak auras?
wago.io/YBa2GlIu5
Ya, those horrors end me in 1-2 seconds.
Any idea where to get the decay Weak Aura from?
I made mine which are all subperks etc but this is a fantastic one from Wagio.

Haha it haunts us all.
Dude live is rediculous being 1 shot at 243.. what's going on? Anyone else having issues?
same the aliens are doing insane dmg, it can't be that hard something must be wrong
yeah I die to the nether horrors casting cuz I dont got more than 2 aoe interrupts and I need 3 lol
Sigh. Does no one read? Your ilvl is scaled down. I beat every spec in the game in legion and bear is the hardest. You just gotta learn and git gud.
@@Nirr0 that is completely innacurate ive done tha gaurdian druid fight many times in legion. it is COMPLETELY overtuned right now. in legion you got 12 ticks of the horrors damage to kill velen, you now literally get 1 tick and velen dies. stop minimizing what you havnt even tried, go do it before you come back here and type that like an idiot lmao
@@Nirr0 I've also beat every spec for every class on Mage Tower in legion 2nd time it came up. It's overtuned right now, the Tank challenge and the Spriest challenge are the two i've tried so far several times. nether horrors are def overtuned, and you can't even kill Raest bc his damage after Karam is dead has been doing 35% hp per shadowbolt, not enough passive damage between phases with mechanics and adds to kill
the infernals kicks barely affect me and then sometimes they kick you out of the fkn map from nowhere
Might sometimes be the eyes too, remember they will punt your ass too >< so very annoying lol
why the explanation part has a pitch black filter?
There is no pitch black filter in this video. Are you ok and do you need me to call an ambulance for you?
legion flasks are only 20 now
Does the Kultiran racial punch count as an interrupt
I would assume so as Typhoon functions that way, I don't know for a fact though sorry as I'm not KT on my druid to try it.
he one shots horrors with scale yet my 252 scale doesnt even get the horrors to half... have they overtuned it or am i just trippin
Big changes from PTR to Live they turned it to 11. I've just posted a kill video from Live. All the same things apply, but yeh it's slightly harder now haha
i been stuck with kruul a while now and he is always 10% and just die of flying off and velen die. i cant do this :( i might be just bad
No way man, you totally got this, what's the update?
I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time but apparently I wont get the skin and consider to change my main one more time again :)
I've done this fight so so many times, but keep dying around 17% of Kruul
shit is really tough
That's ok mate, keep grinding, what's killing you at the 17% mark? Is it annihilates? Infernals?
@@Darkmech been grinding all day, got to 1.5% and a shit laser pulled me away from the last orb.
been getting closer and closer, but it's the lasers f*ckin me over
Thanks for this video. Wish I could say it helped me, but I couldnt get passed phase 1. I did 200 pulls. I give up. lol
Oh noes! what was going wrong in phase 1 for you? It's a big learning curve and sadly it just takes time (varies person to person) but you just keep going till the mechanics don't overwhelm you and you can make good decisions during the encounter.
@@Darkmech yea, its just a skill issue for me. Plus I am dyslexic and have bad AdHD. So I just cant concentrate on all that stuff. Haha I cried myself to sleep after finally giving up because I really really wanted that bear skin...but blizz doesn't make their game for people like me. Thanks for the video though! Loved it!
after 50+ attempts then i passed the 1st phase, then got insta death with only 1 stack of annihilate
Same
You guys in 220ilvl gear?
@@TommyOhmalley 50 ilvl gear
Everything is scaled down to 50
Hey mate, took me about 100 goes, just stick at it.
The real MVP. I got Kruul to 12% on live before I had to log. Got cucked because I had 5 infernals up. I’m finding my issue is the nether horror adds since my damage seems a bit low on them so I don’t want yo push stacks and risk getting owned because I can’t kill them fast enough.
Almost there man! I got my kill today, very fucking happy.
I just want the bear form as its cool as hell
It's fucking amazing mate
How do you keep yourself full hp during kruul? I kcan't keep my hp up even with ironfur spam
The first 2 annihilates I'm just taking with IF it doesn't matter about being full on HP, taking an orb close to annihilate obviously helps too as it puts you back to full HP. Incarn is a pretty big factor too as enables so many stacks of IF to reduce the incoming damage.
@@Darkmech Thank you for the tips! I completed the challenge mostly thanks to your video (after 253 attempts lmao). Appreciate it loads.
@@squishedmochi this is fucking awesome mate! Well done, be fucking proud of that, you earned that skin!!!
thx man
He casts twisted reflection only once in the fight?
Generally you'll see it 2 to 3 times I can't remember what the ICD is on it.
can u tell me how can i get that weak aura
wago.io/YBa2GlIu5
Shadowlands Luffa leggo works?
none of the SD legos works :(
I just cant do last phase :( nice guide mate!
There's a lot going in Phase 2. Just keep at it, the more you do it, the more comfort you'll find in that phase.
ty for guid
May I please have some help getting this skin
Where are you struggling mate?
Awesome vide extremely hopefully
i died in 10sec... playing druid for years now
Yeh it's rough it took me around 100 attempts on live.
I wish the consumables were affordable, not really going to be able to justify 5k per attempt in consumables.
Yeh it's gotten pretty fucking nutty. If it helps, on my live kill video I didn't remember to pot, so saved 1k right there =P
Is there by any chance you could help me...😔
Sorry for the late response mate, how are you going with it?
The adds like instant delete me LOL
Be sure with the adds to incap roar them when they cast the storm, it'll mean no recast and you can then use your brambles + Barkskin to nuke them down.
Very nice guide as always. Is this encounter the same for all tank specs or will there be any differences?
The same encoutner for all the tanks, Prot Paladin one though they have more health to adjust for the dps of Prot Paladin.
Nether Horrors are too much, good god
Make the most of Brambles + Barkskin on them and incap roar when the storm starts casting. Shuts them down and you can generally get through them pretty quickly. (speaking about live ofc)
I'm literally being killed in 1 hit by the horrors.....
Need to ensure you incap roar the storm, otherwise it'll wreck you.
This was the most awful fight in legion. Took me about 47 attempts. That's when you had to farm those nexus shards or whatever they were called just to do the encounter.
cant do it.... im very tilted. im dont gonna try it. im waiting for the nerf. i try a Legion dungeon 19 and is impossible too.
I can see them nerfing it, it took me approx 100 goes on live to get it, I actually really like it being tuned so fucking tight, but I get how unpopular that opinion is lol
This is NOTHING like the PTR.. This is effed up right now. Nobody is doing this day one promise you that. Getting one shot on this or velen getting one shot. I stopped after 10 tries.. Aint happening until they tune this right for live..
Hey mate, here is my kill video from live servers if you want a look - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
Certainly stepped up the tuning from PTR to live.
Coming here to check the comment to see if I’m just shit or is it overturned.
They certainly turned the knob up from PTR lol
Nah, impossible. I'm fully heroic geared 240 and getting completely overran by adds.
Hey mate, here is a kill video from live if you want to have a look - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
It's certainly rougher on live than it was on PTR.
@@Darkmech It's alright, US confirmed today it's overtuned, I'll just wait for the fix.
its way overtuned now
It's certainly harder than it was on PTR lol
HAHA ITS THE FUCKING SAMEEEEEEE GOSH
Needs a major nerf. Blizzard just doesn't learn.
Nether Horror adds are 2 shoting me. Big ouch.
Be sure to incap roar the start of the actual channel, it'll stop it, they won't recast it, then brambles + Barkskin combo them down.
Pretty sure back in the day deaths didn't affect your durability... Not only is this going to be time-consuming but it's going to be very expensive. Content at the expense of extreme cost IS NOT CONTENT
Haha yeh the repair bills are real but seeing as gold isn't hard to come by, and the cost isn't too bad, it's not really a huge deal breaker.
I don't think I'm even close to Getting it. I'd literally pay 100$ for you to do it on mine lol
Haha the Blizzard police would come and get me.
No cap I’ll actually pay you do down Kruul on my account 😭😭 I can’t get him below 30k this fight is a pain
Haha the blizzard Police will come and take me to jail.
This is so fkin overtuned its unreal. This was pisseasy in legion, not even close to same
Edit: Inquisitor Vari has like 55k for me. thats 10k more than shown in the footage, also the nether's have way more HP
Hey mate, here is a kill from live severs I did if you want to have a look - ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
They certainly buffed this moving from PTR to Live severs I really enjoyed the challenge, but I fully get the otherside of it
nice hair
haha grats mate, sounds like me, 6 hours on stream last night 3 - 1% wipes. went to bed, 0.34% wipe this morning and then killed it. What a challenge!! Grats!
This is waaaay harder on live
Sure is a step up from PTR!
this is so hard
Sure is, just keep throwing those attempts in.
blizzard fucked up by overtuning this, i like a challenge but this is a joke.. if i wanted to wipe 15 seconds into something id go play classic again.
Tell me why they force people to do this shit just to get a werebear, i hear they changed stuff even on live servers making near impossible to get as well. It is not even funny and a waste of time then?
this is not possible xd
It's def hard lol here is a kill from live if you wanted to see.
ruclips.net/video/gP30E4ueQ_4/видео.html
So i need a Party for this which means i have to interact with people.
Yeah im gonna uninstall again. Can't do shit solo anymore
Nope it's solo content and you are put in a party with 2 NPCs.
It’s way over tuned. it’s impossible!!! Was looking forward to it but yeah I give up at 25 attempts
Hey mate, it took me around 100 attempts on live so keep at it (if you can be bothered) it's certainly a lot rougher on live than it was on PTR lol
@@Darkmech yeah I’m at countless attempts now I think i just suck at bear haha. can tank a key can’t tank a tower 🤣
