A couple of consumables I forgot to use/mention: Heavy Desolate Armor Kit (+10 stamina) and War Scroll of Fortitude/Battle Shout (+3% stamina and attack power respectively). A lot of other guides talk about the usefulness of goblin glider kits, but I never really found them to be that important so long as you're positioning well. And even if you do get knocked you can always use wild charge to recover :)
Finally got mine after I think 100+ pulls. I didn't use any enchants, gems, or old gear (mostly because I didn't want to spend gold). All my gear is mostly BFA, specifically Nazjatar, except the legion artifact weapons. I also used Unblinking Gaze of Seethe, and the Ravaged Seed Pod Trinket. Consumables I used were: 1. Greater Flasks of the Currents 2. Potion of Unbridled Fury 3. Shadowcore Oil 4. Bear Tartare 5. Drums of the Mountain Knockbacks are hella annoying, but worth all the effort. Keep trying my druids, eventually you'll get it.
your main spec is guardian? im resto i tried with SL gear (but resto gear like rambo) ofc wipe in the first 10 seconds every time. im gonna get a tank gear free from old legion raids and those two trinkets you used and i ll give it a try. Also maybe i go get the guardian artifacts ? better than a normal weapon from a raid ? what you think. But man im resto for life , i never played guardian a single day in my life. Its hard for me.
@@Pavloskanenas I'm actually a lock main, and for my druid I usually spec feral. I was planning on switching to guardian, which is why I wanted the bear form. Yes, those two tinkets will make the run significantly more easier. Also yes for the guardian druid artifacts because you can apply shadowcore oil to both, giving you more dps.
Just a tip/ my experience.. so because G Druid has been my main for all of SL it has given me the bad habit of prioritizing thrash over other abilities. After seeing his damage breakdown it became obvious in Stage 2 you need to press swipe and thrash a lot more. I was prioritizing Thrash over all and I kept getting to 4 stacks of anhelation while he was at 10% The second I took a look at his damage break down it reminded me to use my other abilities properly. Through the 30 or so pulls its easy to get tunnel visioned . Take a step back and analyze, hope it helps! P.S. Thanks magebrain for making this video, wouldn't have made it without your effort!
Nice guide & kill. I think my biggest gripe about the Mage tower is them scaling the gear down.; if you're going to do it, give us a set of gear that you tune it to that we auto wear when we enter. I have 243 Agility with my current gear and you're sitting at 392. Got Kruul to 7% but now i'm like should I just farm different gear?
Yeah I get it, stat templates would probably work better than gear scaling. If you want to just do the minimum, I'd go for the artifact weapons + dancing steel and the trinkets. Should be easy enough to get your hands on those items relatively quickly and they alone should add quite a bit of dps. GL
No, your gear doesn't have to be ilvl 50, it's only important if you want to put the powerful enchants on them as those will not be able to be applied to gear above item level 50. I want to be clear that this challenge is totally doable with your regular Shadowlands gearset, but the gear shown in this video will just scale better and give you higher throughput.
Jeez, I just tried with random gear and not knowing what is going on and got wiped five times before even getting the first phase down to 80% ... I am a filthy casual, never raid, nor do mythic+, I even avoid dungeons if I can. So this is one huge learning curve for me.
My first 10 pulls were exactly the same, so keep at it! The more you pull the easier it gets. Before long you'll start to recognize patterns and timings and from there it just comes down to execution and the smallest bit of luck.
I don't want to sound mean or something, but what do you do in the game? I guess PVP is not something you do, but what else is left? You are skipping like 90% of the content. I am seriously interested.
@@alleks5253 I am just a casual, I like to get my classes all up to to max level and then cruise old content for mounts and mogs when I have the time. I don't PvP, Mythic+, or raid, which is basically all of the end game. I play the game to relax, not min/max and furiously bash at the keyboard. Though it mean I lose out on the cooler mogs and mounts that are only found in the more difficult content.
That's correct, the relics have no effect like they used to in Legion. However, they do still increase the overall item level of the weapons, which is important as it increases the weapon's stats (up to item level 50 for the mage tower due to the scaling)
First off, I would go kill the first boss of Emerald Nightmare (located in Val'sharah) on all 3 difficulties to see if you can get it to drop (should take no more than 5 or 10 minutes), but honestly it's not even that big of a deal. Most people use it for the ads to nuke them down once every 2 minutes, but as you can see from the video, I rarely needed the trinket to get the ads down quickly. You should be totally fine without it, just use another trinket. The Shadowlands PvP on-use badge and insignia are great options as are any of these: www.wowhead.com/guides/best-gear-mage-tower-timewalking-gearing-guide-gearing-strategies#agility-trinkets Hope this helps
Here is the weak aura package wago.io/YBa2GlIu5 I didn't use any special macros outside of my normal druid macros other than a simple one that used Drums + Potion of Unbridled Fury together at the start of phase 2. So just: #showtooltip /use Drums of Fury /use Potion of Unbridled Fury
I just don't think this video is from the last couple weeks haha! Kruul's Netherstomp is way more frequent than what is shown in this video. Probably coming out every ~20-30 seconds.
This was done on April 4th, 2022. Here is a link to my twitch VoD for proof: www.twitch.tv/videos/1446693145?t=01h03m02s Even so, my phase 2 only lasted 1 minute and 25 seconds. In that time I got 3 stomps. I'm not sure why the first stomp didn't come out until about 40 seconds into the phase (maybe something to do with the timing of the orbs?). After the first one happens though, you can see that the stomps do come out quite frequently.
You definitely don't need all the gear showcased in the video, no. But it will make it much easier. Your gear set at level 60 will all be scaled down to item level 50 and your character's level will be scaled to 45. Shadowlands legendaries and covenant abilities/soulbind passives are all disabled in the mage tower.

I just had a 6% wipe and comparing my details to yours I actually have more damage to Kruul, was there some change recently with the encounter I missed? All my damage is higher, but still can't get past the 4th annihilate. It was a 5min 8s run. Any ideas?
Yeah sorry that must be confusing, the Details log I show at about the 3 minute mark was from a pull I did shortly before recording the video (which was done about 2 weeks after I first downed Kruul, so I had lost the original details log in-game). It ended up being a wipe at some point during the Kruul phase, but I chose to show it anyway because it was available and because the distribution of the trinket damage was almost identical to my actual kill (which was the point I was trying to get across). Here's an Imgur link to the original Details breakdown if you want to check it out, I took a screenshot from my Twitch VoD imgur.com/gallery/AfvbfIG
Great video! One question: How did you enchant the off hand? The enchant didn't allow me to apply on the off hand, just the main hand. Was that hotfixed? Thanks.
Hmmm, I'm not sure. When I did it I was able to equip the Claws at item level 20 and enchant each one individually. I don't believe there was any hotfix
That's weird! I would double check and make sure that your NPC's aren't dying because if they do, the fight ends. Make sure that as soon as Kruul lands you grab aggro on him so he doesn't melee one of your homies. Also, make sure that you are targetable and attackable as the fight phases (i.e. don't shadowmeld or stealth)
That's why you enchant the Claws of Ursoc before they have any relics in them :P Then you can put relics in them to level them up to ≥50. The enchant will still work
@@wump30 What you can do is go to the auction house and see if any low level BoE relics that are attuned for the Claws of Ursoc are available for you to buy (find them under Gems>Relics). Just replace one or two of the high ilvl relics with low ilvl ones and it should bring the item level of the claws down below 50 for you to enchant them. Then you can put max level relics back in.
I think this video was outdated by a patch somehow, because all of the crafted PvP gear is iLvl 39 with lower stats than what is shown. Or I'm missing something.
Nope not outdated. The crafted PvP gear can vary in ilvl using the Relics of the past when crafting. if you're only seeing ilvl 39 on your AH, then that means the crafters on your server aren't crafting the ilvl 48/54 ones that you'd want. Might want to seek out a crafter and ask for them specifically.
You can’t remove a relic once it’s socketed, but you can replace any relic with another one including a lower item level one to get the overall ilvl of the artifact weapon down below 50
If you mean for the neck and the boots, you can use the Heart of Azeroth for the neck and any socketed boots (the crafted dreadful gladiator boots would be a good option)
It put me off so much that you need old damn gear and enchants.. Isnt it enough we have been farming current exp and getting geared :( I get it, it's legion tower.. But update perhaps :(
