I love how on every single one of these videos of people doing this tower, everything just magically works out so well and perfect for you all. Meanwhile I'm over here getting glitches where I can't cast anything, I get my roar off and they still cast nether storm, and I get blown off the fucking platform even when I'm facing the eyes. So. Much. Fun.
Generally it's player error that is causing a lot of this versus glitches. I know that is probably hard to here, but it's a practice based event. Hopefully you stick at it and get the skin eventually, if not, I wouldn't let it eat you up inside.
Wasn't a fan of this fight, but I managed to get it done after about 20-30 attempts tonight. Second phase was a bit of a mess, but I worked out I found it a bit easier to just do circles around the holy orbs and nabbed one every time I got warned about upcoming annihilate. Actually only got warned about one Twisted Visage, so that was almost irrelevant by the end. Though the Onyx Annulent was active in this, so might have helped burst through P1. Im not sure how much of this guide I actually internalised, but I had it running in the background in my attempts, so you helped me with morale at least xD Worth noting I had pretty much zero buffs whatsoever outside of mark of the wild and a humming rune (bit of extra haste) and my trinks were the haste notes and the scarred whetstone (though I wiffed the whetstone, so might have not helped much in the end). Definitely could have been made easier by farming a bit, but still satisfying to get down at this challenge level. Not quite 4.3 Kanrethad satisfying, but still satisfying nontheless.
Hey man, I doubt you'll read this but thank you. I got it because you explained it for me. As someone who's disabled and still enjoys the game, you have my gratitude.
As soon as I heard the all-familiar accent of my homeland I knew this would be a cakewalk. I'm 1 day of playtime on my druid from starting a few days ago, got this within 20 attempts. Love your work!
I missed out on this in Legion, and trying to get it in SL literally made me quit the entire game until DF. I went in without farming any old gear, just following the advice in the video. Managed to get it down in about 40 tries with your advice. Feels great to get revenge. (For context, in the video he has about 15k hp to start, I had just over 10k. The DPS race with Kruul was super close. I died at the same time Kruul did).
Hey man! Thanks for the guide. I did the mage tower on all the tanks back in legion but just came back to the game after a multiple year break. So stoked you’re making content as you were always my go to for m+ and DK guides. Thanks for this! Also I gotta do this again, that fel werebear looks sick haha 😂
Haha mate honestly those internals are the bane of your existence until you get this down. Then once you are through it, it's the biggest point of relief knowing you never had to go back and you did it. The whole is great (once you win), until then, it is a never ending pit of despair lol
I've attempted this at level 60 using 250-278 gear. If you're doing the same, I would suggest leveling. Despite the scaling to 120, Dark is doing significantly more damage than I do at level 60 with the same build. While this fight is mostly one of endurance, it helps a LOT being able to kill the Infernos quickly, otherwise they'll stack up and by the time you get to Kruul, you simply have too many things to dodge. The infernos in my runs do not die nearly as quickly as they do in Dark's, so I'm not sure what is going on there.
You don't want to focus the infernals at all. They kill themselves as they walk, you can dot them up with moonfire if you like but that's as far as you go. The idea is to be able to race through the Variss and go through with 1 or 2 infernals. Though 3 is still fine, it just means more dodging. I was lvl 63 in this using SL gear so nothing funky, at lvl 60 you'd have a little more talent restrictions which would hurt you. At lvl 63 I was able to get everything I needed re output value.
Thanks for the video 👍👍 I'm a returning player but I didn't do the mage tower (only on my DH) in legion and I didn't play during shadowlands. Gonna give this one a go now, great stuff 😊
That is so awesome to read, thanks for that mate, appreciate the kind words. More importantly, just chuffed you nailed it and got the skin!! LETS GOOOO!
ElvUI, Plater and Weakauras pretty much make up the full thing. It's all been customized by me, strings are available as subperks/patreon and youtube members. But you could always see what you can find on wago.io
Quite funny, ive skipped shadow lands, but all of your mage tower guides in legion helped me unlock every druid artifact appearance, and since im rusty and want the additional set i am back again :)

Great video! Really explains it. I just want the bear form so bad - but tanking is not my play style and I’m getting hammered by all the mobs or knocked off the land by the eyes.
Hey mate, keep at it, even if it is only little chips each time. It's something that can take 100's of pulls, if you stick at it though, there is every chance you can get it. It just seems extremely overwhelming when you start due to how the tower encounter is designed, it goes get easier though after time and comfort!
ty for this! not sure how many tries but it took about 40 mins to get. Main thing that killed me funny enough was the infernals knocking me off the edge when I was distracted trying to kill adds lol
my whole experience feels different than in the video. the infernals slam doesnt register right, the eyes dont register im looking at them and krull does his big hit way faster and i dont do near the dmg back to him
thank you so much for this video i was never able to get the og one and seeing this helped so much i could not do this for the life of me but that SoO mythic gear and gems was huge help i used a 70agl flask and saved all the orbs for kruul and didn't even screw around i used all of them any cast i saw lol
Thanks! Was able to do this yesterday in 17 pulls. Granted I was a bit distracted as I had my 3yr old on my lap cheering me on. But was able to pull it off. I just used the pvp gear I have granted it’s all gemed and enchanted. No consumes. Seemed to be a lot easier than in SL.
Update , just got my fel bear 10min ago using this method. After about 10 ish pulls and dying at 1% 3x I nailed it. This tower was a lot easier this time around. Feels great finally acquiring it. I did keep him near where orbs spawn so I could dip close to snag one. CAKE WALK🎉
Nice vid , I got neon kitty back in day and almost had hulk bear too. Tried again when tower was added back didnt get far , I really missed the equip on luffa wrists but after seeing it done like this I will be trying again this week
What setting do you do to were the enemiy channel abilites are so bolded? for me they are tiny little bars. Also, for trinkets I have the seed you were walking about but what other trinket works best?
Hey mate, they are WA's I made for the mage tower, mine are subperks but if you head to Wago.io I'm sure you could find some easily there. Seed is great, the trinket from Iskar in HFC is also solid, if you have the Grontooth Warhorn from WOD that is also excellent though you cannot obtain it anymore. Otherwise whetstone is a great option from DF.
I have the 1st phase down. The second phase just wrecks me. I get overwhelmed and forget interrupt the cast... Not to mention i was staying in the middle running THROUGH the beams. Gonna have another go...
All about reps, if you're comfy in the first phase, you just gotta keep hitting that P2 till you get comfy. For perspective on this, when I started the Tower in Legion I used to get to that Phase 2 with Kruul and my heart would be beating in my head, I would go full omg omg omg mode. Keep grinding!
Hey mate, thank you. All my WA's for everything are sub perks via Twitch, Patreon and UA-cam membership sorry! But I bet you would find a bunch of wago.io for free
Great video! Stage 2 has been my downfall, feeling a bit more confident to tackle it again after watching this, Thanks! Do you have a list of your addons please? Really like the look of some of them,
Hey mate, all the best with it! Just stick at it if you can make it to phase 2 then it's just a matter of getting comfortable with it, if you get frustrated just step away come back tomorrow, there is no rush for this now as it's perma up. Addons wise - WeakAuras, Details, Plater and ElvUI make up my UI =)
@@Darkmech Thanks again heaps, I finally got it. I spent a lot of time in Narnia though... Not nearly as fast or as elegant as yours, Kruul's last 5k was a complete button mash as I raced to the orb. You are a legend!
In SL I was about 5-10% away from killing Krull, but was just not able to get it. Very frustrating, as in Legion I had all the Tank appearances. I went in on opening day of the patch..took me about 10-15 pulls before I downed it. I used my main Dragonflight Raid and Mythic Plus gear, DF consumables and enchants...I had two infernals up..but Variss didn't seem to hurt me as much as in SL or Legion. I had a ton of healing orbs from Velen when Krull came down, and pretty much used them to handle Annihlate. Felt good to get it done though. Thanks Darkmech for all these videos. Watched them in Legion all the way through to DF.
I am struggling pretty hard with this one, been at it for about 5 hours now. I am using ElvUI. I was wondering what add-ons/UI setting you are using? It is hard for me to pay attention to all of these things, especially the decay stacks and Kruul's Twisted Reflection, when they are so small on my screen but on yours they are very visible. Any help is MUCH appreciated and this vid has helped me immensely already so thank you for making it. I also have been trying to find weakauras like the ones you are using and i cant find any anywhere D;
Hey mate, the WA's I'm using are ones I made for this myself, they are subperks along with the rest of my strings, sorry. You might be able to find very similar ones though on Wago.IO if you have a look? 5 hours isn't a lot of time when it comes this challenge, so don't feel super discouraged by that. It's one of mass repetition, there are so many visual things to attempt to overwhelm you, but the more comfy you become the less of an issue that becomes. Just stick at it, when you get stuck for a day, have a break and come back etc. You'll get there!
@@Darkmech thanks so much for the reply man! I watched your older vid on this last night and it helped a lot as well! Very informational. I’ll check out Wago for sure! Was definitely feeling discouraged yesterday on my first attempts but I just got up early to hit it again lol let’s gooooooo.
UPDATE: I DID IT BOYS!!! To all the pogchamps out there who don’t think they can do it, if I can do it, you most definitely can! Took me about 35 tries but man if you are dedicated and want it I promise it’s achievable! Almost forgot I took your advice and I got DBM’s specific mage tower add on and it helped sooooo much!!! Thanks again man! 🙏🏻
Do you have to have the first werebear form to get this? I didn’t play in legion, but I’ve been playing my bear lately. Don’t wanna waste my time if it’s not obtainable if I don’t have the first one, like getting the one from Tomb of Sargeras
Hey mate, nope! This is for people that missed out on the Legion tower, so you can't get the old ones, but you can get this new fel model without the need for anything else.
Who remembers doing this when you could only attempt it so many times a week! I was able to get it in legion despite terrible legendaries. The first time I got knocked off in shadowlands I never went back lol.
Haha I remember when this first came out in Legion spending day after day, going ham the PTSD of Kruul, sub 4% wipes going to bed and it was all I could think about. Oh god do I remember lol
This time walking gear would be better then 390 current level gear cause there more sockets? Can I go back solo to get some this gear or quew up for time walking..?
The timewalking gear I'm referring to is Siege of Orgrimmar mythic raid gear. It drops at item level 126 but lots of the gear has 2/3 sockets. The tower scales you down to 120 item level but you can fill like 12 - 16 sockets with +3/4 agility gems giving you like +50 primary stat for free which is just extra damage to help.
Hey @Darkmech, could you pls tell me why the boss only has 88k HP in the Guardian challange, but 265k HP for the Prot Warri? I easily killed him with the drood, but with the Warr, it takes me way longer and therefore it feels way harder for me.
Yeh the Prot Pal and Prot War ones are legit a lot tougher. It generally always had to do with the output of the classes. Prot pal had an easier time with interrupt, more damage etc so it had high health. Now druid does loads of damage though and it's a breeze, and the Prot ones are like holy shit.
Hey mate thank you. ElvUI and WA's are the baseline of it all. The plater for nameplates, Details as damage meter and Littlewigs/Bigwigs for boss mods.
Thank for the response im trying to learn how to build things that i like not profile importing and what u have 100% what i have always been looking for.
Does anyone know how hard this is now? I gave it a few tries a few days ago trying to do it from memory (after my failed attempts during Legion, when I got really close, but the dps race got the better of me - 4-5 annihilates and such) and I wasn't even able to do the first phase. Honestly I wouldn't last very long in there as I felt like paper and got killed very quickly. I'm a little unsure whether I should give it another tries. Note, I don't have TWW yet and I am in DF emerald dream green gear. Thanks all!
Haha no way! Just keep at it, honestly I still remember all the nights in Legion I spent on this fucking thing, 100's of attempts, just keep chipping away if its something you really want =)
How do you get the Nether Horrors to come straight at you? Tried on Prot Pala, Warr and Druid and they always go to Velen. Also, 4.4k dps, I struggle to get to 1.6 on a Prot Pala who's 405 geared in DF. How?! I have the Ravaged Seed Pod but that's it.
Prot Paladin is full shit for it, you have to run and dump conc on Velen and then move back away to get them to come to you. With the druid Moonfire is the easiest way, FR also works on healing agro. Be sure you're using Maul in your rotation, and allow your GG procs to self-perpetuate on the targets too if you can, switching to Moonkin form and keeping sunfire up is also solid damage.
I did this on my toon, and 3 of my friends who couldn't do it in legion. I can't even do it on one toon in the dragonflight "nerf" version. It's more difficult, as far as I'm concerned. The horror mechanic is easier--sort of. They weren't hard before, once you figured them out and knew what to do with them. The scaling is miserable, consistent with Blizzard's history of scaling failures, and that's the problem with it now. Phase 1 might be slightly easier for those who couldn't master the horror's, but phase two is a cluster-f compared to what it was in legion.
Tried it yesterday with good dargonflight gear and i dont do so much damage as you do in the video, why? I got Kruul down to 10% and had 4 stacks on me :(
Best of luck mate! Just remember it's rep thing, you just need to do it over and over and over, it's designed to overwhelm you, so the more you do it, the more comfortable you become with the rhythm of the encounter etc.
Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Using every potion, drums, flask etc with 390 GS and do about 1.5k dps at Kruul in Phase 2... The third Annihilation kills me everytime (if I survive till then) As defensive I use Survival Instincts for the first 2 and then iron bark for the third but it kills me anyways or drops me to like 5% and then I die Any suggestions?
okay i feel really fucking dumb ive wiped like 300 times there is about 300 constant mechanics to manage the entire time i have no clue what the hell im doing wrong this makes me feel like a complete moron
please help warriors :( I am struggling with it, I didn't try it back in shadowlands or legion as I was focusing other classes and a little lost on all fronts. Gear and how to push phase faster, better trinkets perhaps?
If you need an edge and are 70 u can prob run mythic nighthold/tos/antorus for some trinkets or vers pieces but u should be fine it just take a good pull. Also don't forget ur legion flask, food, pots and drums
I did this 30 times last night and can't get past it. Idk if I'm just panicking or what lol imagine try it again today and see if I cam beat it somehow
I got to the 2nd phase on the 3rd or 4th try .... not matter how often I try the 2nd phase, I end up dying. There is just too much going on and I don't seem to make enough damage to Kruul. Got him only to 12% on my best try. The elementals just knock me off the plattform or Annihilate kills me on the 3rd hit. I guess I'll give up. Respect to everyone who manages to do this. This is just too chaotic for me or I am missing something in the 2nd phase.
I started this with my Druid first fight, insane heart race, blown off the platform with first golem, then 2k gold In repairs later I got to phase two, died on stupid lines and adds and then had my dead corps blown off the platform, 3k gold in repairs later I’m now getting to phase two easier but, I’m seeing how much damage people put on varis so quick, and I don’t know what I’m not doing as I keep dots on varis all the time, and he takes for ever to go down, even if I bear him down, still takes for ever, so much going on in phase two… I walk out of the game room, wife asks, “ did you get your teddy bear thing?” Me: No…😢 I’m not worthy 😞 Wife: awww… Me: mmhmmm 😢
🤣🤣 I love this so much mate, this is pretty similar to things at my house in Legion when this was first around. Stick at it though mate, you will get it eventually and when you do, it'll be the best thing you've done in WoW. Stick at it!!! The more you do it, obviously the calmer you get in that phase 2, and that's the huge thing, being able to chill in those final parts.
@@Darkmech thank you for your words of Affirmation. 😭 Hoping that Affirmation buff sticks around this weekend… If I get that Druid skin, it’s going to be my main toon. Been WoWing since 2008, have to add skin to the collection.
Man. I’m like 150 pulls in and have only gotten the phase 2 guy to about 30k. I just can’t keep track of all the things going on a once. Not sure how you’re killing stuff so fast either. Might have to go farm all the consumables and socket gear.
The sockets and consumables really do help, but only once you're comfy in the phases. My advice is to just keep pulling until you can keep track, till you're not getting overwhelmed. Believe me, when I started this tower in Legion, I could feel my heart beating in my ears when I would get to phase 2 EVERYTIME, and then eventually I had done it so much, I managed to just be able to relax and focus through it. You will get there, keep smashing it =)
@@Darkmech finally got it. Took a day off and came back to it. Slowed down and made sure to use every cooldown. Only ended up using a flask from BFA I think. Died either with Kruul at 1% and the NPCs finished it.
Thanks mate! Well done!!! I've actually made guides for the lot of them back in SL when the tower came out so I hadn't planned on doing a full role call again, but I can certainly look at it
Did you die at the end by chance? It could also be, and this sucks, there was a bug that happened from day 1 when it came back that some people would complete and then not get the skin. Blizz wouldn't do anything about it, and you had to do the challenge all over again.
@@Darkmech Nvm, i got it, appearntly it doesn't tell you that the skin was acquired, when I went to the barber shop i noticed that I could change into the Fel-Bear
Hey mate, they haven't just went and completed the tower again. You likely let a twisted reflection cast go off which is why he healed so much. Was still able to knock it over in 3 mins 4 seconds. You def got this, just watch that cast and be sure to interrupt it!
I love how on every single one of these videos of people doing this tower, everything just magically works out so well and perfect for you all. Meanwhile I'm over here getting glitches where I can't cast anything, I get my roar off and they still cast nether storm, and I get blown off the fucking platform even when I'm facing the eyes. So. Much. Fun.
Generally it's player error that is causing a lot of this versus glitches. I know that is probably hard to here, but it's a practice based event. Hopefully you stick at it and get the skin eventually, if not, I wouldn't let it eat you up inside.
Best video on this, I like how you take the time to explain the mechanics properly and go through this at a casual pace.
Really appreciate that mate, thank you and glad it was useful!!
Had a lot of fun learning this fight and finally completing it. Thanks for going over each mechanic thoroughly! Helped a bunch!
Well done mate! Enjoy that rad skin!
Its worth mentioning that you can remove Twisted Visage by grabbing velen's orbs. Massive life saver in case you miss one in the chaos
Wasn't a fan of this fight, but I managed to get it done after about 20-30 attempts tonight. Second phase was a bit of a mess, but I worked out I found it a bit easier to just do circles around the holy orbs and nabbed one every time I got warned about upcoming annihilate. Actually only got warned about one Twisted Visage, so that was almost irrelevant by the end.
Though the Onyx Annulent was active in this, so might have helped burst through P1.
Im not sure how much of this guide I actually internalised, but I had it running in the background in my attempts, so you helped me with morale at least xD
Worth noting I had pretty much zero buffs whatsoever outside of mark of the wild and a humming rune (bit of extra haste) and my trinks were the haste notes and the scarred whetstone (though I wiffed the whetstone, so might have not helped much in the end). Definitely could have been made easier by farming a bit, but still satisfying to get down at this challenge level.
Not quite 4.3 Kanrethad satisfying, but still satisfying nontheless.
I literally deal like 1.2k dps instead of 4k. Idk what I’m doing wrong lol
Hey man, I doubt you'll read this but thank you. I got it because you explained it for me. As someone who's disabled and still enjoys the game, you have my gratitude.
Legend! Thank you for the kind words means alot

Fucking love this legend! Well done!!
This helped me so much.
I am legitimately....exhausted...
But I finally got it. Easily the most frustrating thing I've ever done in wow.

Also I gotta do this again, that fel werebear looks sick haha 😂
Haha thanks legend! Welcome back!! I'm still here just doing my thing lol. Good luck smashing the tower again!!
What addona are you using to see clearly what are they casting and what is coming next? I cant see anything normally in wow basic UI. 😃
Amazing video man. Great job talking about each aspect of the fight and the best way to handle them. I finally beat him after like 20-30 tries.
Well done mate!!! And thank you so much!!
Whoever felt the need to put knockbacks into this should honestly just quit their job and never touch game development again
Haha mate honestly those internals are the bane of your existence until you get this down. Then once you are through it, it's the biggest point of relief knowing you never had to go back and you did it. The whole is great (once you win), until then, it is a never ending pit of despair lol
i know right, whoever made the mage tower challenge challenging is an idiot amirite?
How about I give u my acc and do it for me 😀😀😀 never been tanking and in phase 2 I start panic and smashing all buttons like a maniac I died at 3% 😭😭😭
Yup
I've attempted this at level 60 using 250-278 gear. If you're doing the same, I would suggest leveling. Despite the scaling to 120, Dark is doing significantly more damage than I do at level 60 with the same build.

Ey well done!!!! Love hearing you got it, glad I could help =D
What UI are you using? Any other addon's your using?

Thanks a lot mate! I did over 70 tries in SL and gave up. Now I got it on the 3rd try!!
Well done!!!
Quite funny, ive skipped shadow lands, but all of your mage tower guides in legion helped me unlock every druid artifact appearance, and since im rusty and want the additional set i am back again :)
Haha love this mate, good luck!!!
This guide was great! Was able to do it at 65, took about 7 attempts but I got it! Thanks!

Save up and either get a visa or just get out of the country. It's only impossible if you say it is.
@@durtyred86 lol, you live in Disneyland if you think is that easy…
@@OldOne707 I never said it was easy. I said it was possible.
Here's a template if you don't have a family. 'Easier if you don't'
Get your CDL. Sale your home or move out of your rented house/apt. Live in the truck and f*cking STACK. Do that at least 6 months and work on how to get your visa while you do it. Get the visa, tell your company you're gonna take a bit of time off 'if you chose the right company you should be stacked with paid hometime' pick a place to visit and see if you like it. Visit and come back to the grind. Grind longer and stack more. Remember, this works best if you let go of your belongings that cost you.. But keep the bike........🤣😂

Done and done.
Will there be hang-ups? Yes.
Will it be easy? Depends. Probably not.
Can you do this if you've got a clean record? Yes. If you don't, still try.
Got my werebear tonight! TYSM for this guide, it helped a lot!
Wish they would make more mage tower style solo challenges with awesome new rewards.
Huge agree!
Awesome guide as usual. Not much into Guardian Druid, but will try it just for fun. Thank you, mister!
Most welcome mate, good luckl!!
Interestingly if you equip yourself in a SoO gear set Rage of the Sleeper is not available but if you go in with a DF set it is available to use.
Great video! Really explains it. I just want the bear form so bad - but tanking is not my play style and I’m getting hammered by all the mobs or knocked off the land by the eyes.
Hey mate, keep at it, even if it is only little chips each time. It's something that can take 100's of pulls, if you stick at it though, there is every chance you can get it. It just seems extremely overwhelming when you start due to how the tower encounter is designed, it goes get easier though after time and comfort!
ty for this! not sure how many tries but it took about 40 mins to get. Main thing that killed me funny enough was the infernals knocking me off the edge when I was distracted trying to kill adds lol
Haha well done!! That is a great effort! Those infernals, I cannot tell you how many rage moments I had being punted off lol
I ended up beating the Mage Tower tonight. Thank you for your video, it helped A LOT!!!!!
You absolute gamer! Well done!
my whole experience feels different than in the video. the infernals slam doesnt register right, the eyes dont register im looking at them and krull does his big hit way faster and i dont do near the dmg back to him
thank you so much for this video i was never able to get the og one and seeing this helped so much i could not do this for the life of me but that SoO mythic gear and gems was huge help i used a 70agl flask and saved all the orbs for kruul and didn't even screw around i used all of them any cast i saw lol
Well done Legend!!! That is awesome!!!!
the void thingys just blew me up instantly,
Thanks! Was able to do this yesterday in 17 pulls. Granted I was a bit distracted as I had my 3yr old on my lap cheering me on. But was able to pull it off. I just used the pvp gear I have granted it’s all gemed and enchanted. No consumes. Seemed to be a lot easier than in SL.
Hell yeh, congrats mate!!! Haha I've been there many times with the cheer squad, love it!
Always loved your Mage Tower videos in Legion! Still remember you doing like 33 hardcast pyros on Agatha.
Haha yes the legend of my fire mage shall live forever.
@@Darkmech Yes, sir! Also I'm very glad that you're still releasing quality Darkmech content. Cheers!
nice guide! quick question: is it posible to do it on al lvl 60 with gear from pre DF event???
Update , just got my fel bear 10min ago using this method. After about 10 ish pulls and dying at 1% 3x I nailed it. This tower was a lot easier this time around. Feels great finally acquiring it. I did keep him near where orbs spawn so I could dip close to snag one. CAKE WALK🎉
Lets fucking gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Grats mate!
Amazing guide, managed to do it in 5 attempts. TY!
lets goooooooooooooo!!!!
Nice vid , I got neon kitty back in day and almost had hulk bear too. Tried again when tower was added back didnt get far , I really missed the equip on luffa wrists but after seeing it done like this I will be trying again this week
You got this!!!! Would probably elect to run the high Arcane damage build after the 10.1.5 changes and just send it. Good luck!
Nice video! It was the most simple and go to of all Mage Tower Video. But i stil got no luck, i am so bad doing it. No Hulk Bear for me :(
use in cap on the neater horrors cast and interrupt varas with skull bash
What setting do you do to were the enemiy channel abilites are so bolded? for me they are tiny little bars.
Also, for trinkets I have the seed you were walking about but what other trinket works best?
Hey mate, they are WA's I made for the mage tower, mine are subperks but if you head to Wago.io I'm sure you could find some easily there.
Seed is great, the trinket from Iskar in HFC is also solid, if you have the Grontooth Warhorn from WOD that is also excellent though you cannot obtain it anymore. Otherwise whetstone is a great option from DF.
Best guide on the internet! !thanks so much!!!
Most welcome mate, glad it helped!!
I have the 1st phase down. The second phase just wrecks me. I get overwhelmed and forget interrupt the cast... Not to mention i was staying in the middle running THROUGH the beams.
Gonna have another go...
All about reps, if you're comfy in the first phase, you just gotta keep hitting that P2 till you get comfy. For perspective on this, when I started the Tower in Legion I used to get to that Phase 2 with Kruul and my heart would be beating in my head, I would go full omg omg omg mode. Keep grinding!
Can a lvl 60 with shadowlands gear only be capeable if this returning player here after quiting after legion
Great video, thanks. Do you have your weak auras text and other addons info that I can import? that would be really helpful
Hey mate, thank you. All my WA's for everything are sub perks via Twitch, Patreon and UA-cam membership sorry! But I bet you would find a bunch of wago.io for free
Great video! Stage 2 has been my downfall, feeling a bit more confident to tackle it again after watching this, Thanks! Do you have a list of your addons please? Really like the look of some of them,
Hey mate, all the best with it! Just stick at it if you can make it to phase 2 then it's just a matter of getting comfortable with it, if you get frustrated just step away come back tomorrow, there is no rush for this now as it's perma up. Addons wise - WeakAuras, Details, Plater and ElvUI make up my UI =)
@@Darkmech 2 phase is horrible, i dont seem to be able to pull the dmg to down it, any suggestion?
@@Monse4pony Are you sure you aren't letting twisted reflections through? that was what I was doing
@@Darkmech Thanks again heaps, I finally got it. I spent a lot of time in Narnia though... Not nearly as fast or as elegant as yours, Kruul's last 5k was a complete button mash as I raced to the orb. You are a legend!
In SL I was about 5-10% away from killing Krull, but was just not able to get it. Very frustrating, as in Legion I had all the Tank appearances. I went in on opening day of the patch..took me about 10-15 pulls before I downed it. I used my main Dragonflight Raid and Mythic Plus gear, DF consumables and enchants...I had two infernals up..but Variss didn't seem to hurt me as much as in SL or Legion. I had a ton of healing orbs from Velen when Krull came down, and pretty much used them to handle Annihlate. Felt good to get it done though. Thanks Darkmech for all these videos. Watched them in Legion all the way through to DF.
Thank you for the guide it was a grat help getting this challenge done.😉
Most welcome mate!!! Well done on getting it done!!
I am struggling pretty hard with this one, been at it for about 5 hours now. I am using ElvUI. I was wondering what add-ons/UI setting you are using? It is hard for me to pay attention to all of these things, especially the decay stacks and Kruul's Twisted Reflection, when they are so small on my screen but on yours they are very visible. Any help is MUCH appreciated and this vid has helped me immensely already so thank you for making it. I also have been trying to find weakauras like the ones you are using and i cant find any anywhere D;
Hey mate, the WA's I'm using are ones I made for this myself, they are subperks along with the rest of my strings, sorry. You might be able to find very similar ones though on Wago.IO if you have a look?
5 hours isn't a lot of time when it comes this challenge, so don't feel super discouraged by that. It's one of mass repetition, there are so many visual things to attempt to overwhelm you, but the more comfy you become the less of an issue that becomes.
Just stick at it, when you get stuck for a day, have a break and come back etc. You'll get there!
@@Darkmech thanks so much for the reply man! I watched your older vid on this last night and it helped a lot as well! Very informational. I’ll check out Wago for sure! Was definitely feeling discouraged yesterday on my first attempts but I just got up early to hit it again lol let’s gooooooo.
UPDATE: I DID IT BOYS!!! To all the pogchamps out there who don’t think they can do it, if I can do it, you most definitely can! Took me about 35 tries but man if you are dedicated and want it I promise it’s achievable! Almost forgot I took your advice and I got DBM’s specific mage tower add on and it helped sooooo much!!! Thanks again man! 🙏🏻
Well done superstar!!!
@@Darkmech thanks for all your help brother!!!
Do you have to have the first werebear form to get this? I didn’t play in legion, but I’ve been playing my bear lately. Don’t wanna waste my time if it’s not obtainable if I don’t have the first one, like getting the one from Tomb of Sargeras
Hey mate, nope! This is for people that missed out on the Legion tower, so you can't get the old ones, but you can get this new fel model without the need for anything else.
@@Darkmech bet, thanks!!!
Who remembers doing this when you could only attempt it so many times a week! I was able to get it in legion despite terrible legendaries. The first time I got knocked off in shadowlands I never went back lol.
Haha I remember when this first came out in Legion spending day after day, going ham the PTSD of Kruul, sub 4% wipes going to bed and it was all I could think about. Oh god do I remember lol
Awesome guide - thanks DM
what addon are you using to show the casts like that by the enemy?
Also would like a link to the addon or Weakaura being used so I can see the CDs on boss casts in the last phase.
A WeakAura I made for the mage tower. You can find very similar ones on Wago.IO likely and I think DBM pack has timers for this as well
@@Darkmech You rock dude thanks.
Thank you for the video, can you please write here the trinkets you mentioned?
This video got me the felbear! thank you so much dude!
King! Grats mate!
Took me 4 hours in legion with some 9.3 gear, 3 days in shadowlands with best possible timewalking gear.
This time walking gear would be better then 390 current level gear cause there more sockets? Can I go back solo to get some this gear or quew up for time walking..?
The timewalking gear I'm referring to is Siege of Orgrimmar mythic raid gear. It drops at item level 126 but lots of the gear has 2/3 sockets. The tower scales you down to 120 item level but you can fill like 12 - 16 sockets with +3/4 agility gems giving you like +50 primary stat for free which is just extra damage to help.
Hey Darkmech, what Character Info addon do you use?
Hey mate, this is ElvUI with the Shadow and Light plugin
@@Darkmech thank you!!!
Hey @Darkmech, could you pls tell me why the boss only has 88k HP in the Guardian challange, but 265k HP for the Prot Warri? I easily killed him with the drood, but with the Warr, it takes me way longer and therefore it feels way harder for me.
Yeh the Prot Pal and Prot War ones are legit a lot tougher. It generally always had to do with the output of the classes. Prot pal had an easier time with interrupt, more damage etc so it had high health. Now druid does loads of damage though and it's a breeze, and the Prot ones are like holy shit.
Thanks man, got mine tonight after a few pulls.
Huge pog, grats mate!!!!
i wish i could go in with out the level and item squish, like it was a raid from Legion... i'm so tired of failing at this tower
Great guide, thank you so much.
Most welcome mate, thank you for checking it out =)
i have to ask how u have ur setup what is all the addons and WA for all that i love it
Hey mate thank you. ElvUI and WA's are the baseline of it all. The plater for nameplates, Details as damage meter and Littlewigs/Bigwigs for boss mods.
Thank for the response im trying to learn how to build things that i like not profile importing and what u have 100% what i have always been looking for.
First boss its very easys for me , i get the second life down to 40k than all the sudden he gives me a big hi from annihilation.
Does anyone know how hard this is now? I gave it a few tries a few days ago trying to do it from memory (after my failed attempts during Legion, when I got really close, but the dps race got the better of me - 4-5 annihilates and such) and I wasn't even able to do the first phase. Honestly I wouldn't last very long in there as I felt like paper and got killed very quickly. I'm a little unsure whether I should give it another tries. Note, I don't have TWW yet and I am in DF emerald dream green gear. Thanks all!
Loved the video, I'm clearly a shit druid because I still can't get the damn Fel Bear
Haha no way! Just keep at it, honestly I still remember all the nights in Legion I spent on this fucking thing, 100's of attempts, just keep chipping away if its something you really want =)
I got kruul to under 8% like 7 times straight in shadowlands but stopped trying because i was just tired of trying. Might have to go get my bear form
You got this!!
How do you get the Nether Horrors to come straight at you? Tried on Prot Pala, Warr and Druid and they always go to Velen.
Also, 4.4k dps, I struggle to get to 1.6 on a Prot Pala who's 405 geared in DF. How?! I have the Ravaged Seed Pod but that's it.
Same question.... its super weird, they always shoot RIGHT after Velen
Prot Paladin is full shit for it, you have to run and dump conc on Velen and then move back away to get them to come to you.
With the druid Moonfire is the easiest way, FR also works on healing agro.
Be sure you're using Maul in your rotation, and allow your GG procs to self-perpetuate on the targets too if you can, switching to Moonkin form and keeping sunfire up is also solid damage.
Oh and in this I'm using the MOP 163 item lvl dreadful crafted gear so it has like 14 sockets of primary for bit of extra J U I C E
I did this on my toon, and 3 of my friends who couldn't do it in legion. I can't even do it on one toon in the dragonflight "nerf" version. It's more difficult, as far as I'm concerned. The horror mechanic is easier--sort of. They weren't hard before, once you figured them out and knew what to do with them. The scaling is miserable, consistent with Blizzard's history of scaling failures, and that's the problem with it now. Phase 1 might be slightly easier for those who couldn't master the horror's, but phase two is a cluster-f compared to what it was in legion.
Tried it yesterday with good dargonflight gear and i dont do so much damage as you do in the video, why?
I got Kruul down to 10% and had 4 stacks on me :(
Ensure you're smashing maul otherwise you're missing out on a lot of damage, try and let your GG procs continue to self perpetuate also when you can.
Can you solo it ? If not what classes should you bring with you
You have to solo it, it's a solo challenge.
Going to give it a shot this weekend, I’ll let you know how it goes .
Best of luck mate! Just remember it's rep thing, you just need to do it over and over and over, it's designed to overwhelm you, so the more you do it, the more comfortable you become with the rhythm of the encounter etc.
@@Darkmech 500+ attempts in shadowlands, countless 5-4% wipes. Cleared in 14 tries Dragonflight. Appreciate the vid brother.
Can we get the The white version of the Grizzlemaw at DragonFlight? If we can how ?
Nope was time limited
The white version is from Legion, the new Fel Bear was the reskinned option for SL
Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Using every potion, drums, flask etc with 390 GS and do about 1.5k dps at Kruul in Phase 2... The third Annihilation kills me everytime (if I survive till then)
As defensive I use Survival Instincts for the first 2 and then iron bark for the third but it kills me anyways or drops me to like 5% and then I die
Any suggestions?
1 Iron fur
2 Iron fur barkskin
3 Iron fur survival instinct
4 Iron fur barkskin survival instinct
Thank you Dark Mech, I GOT MY GUARDIAN DRUID FORM :D!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Darkmech, Love the video! Any chance I can pay you to coach my keyboard for my on this? really need some help!
okay i feel really fucking dumb ive wiped like 300 times there is about 300 constant mechanics to manage the entire time i have no clue what the hell im doing wrong
this makes me feel like a complete moron
3:10 I'd like to pretend the pun was intended
LOL omg no but I'm totally going to say yes now !
Tried it like 10 times now and Velen always dies... What does this? I make sure to take those 4 horors all the time...
I really want them to bring back the warecat form...its annoyed me that they have the bear one but not the cat one back yet
One guide with DH VENGANCE please
what addons are you using?
Hey mate, Elvui, Plater and Weakauras
please help warriors :( I am struggling with it, I didn't try it back in shadowlands or legion as I was focusing other classes and a little lost on all fronts. Gear and how to push phase faster, better trinkets perhaps?
If you need an edge and are 70 u can prob run mythic nighthold/tos/antorus for some trinkets or vers pieces but u should be fine it just take a good pull. Also don't forget ur legion flask, food, pots and drums
People who play wow literally all day all the time for the past 19 years "Yea this really easy"
Haha jokes on you! WoW has only been out for 18 years and 2 months!
How do you actually deal with the horrors? They seem impossible to kill.
Get moonfire dots on them, and incap roar the netherstorm cast. Use ROTS when it's up on the adds also. Don't be afraid to typhoon them away either.
I did this 30 times last night and can't get past it. Idk if I'm just panicking or what lol imagine try it again today and see if I cam beat it somehow
It's a full rep game, I did 100's of pulls on this back in Legion, it is a frustrating adventure to master lol
I got to the 2nd phase on the 3rd or 4th try .... not matter how often I try the 2nd phase, I end up dying. There is just too much going on and I don't seem to make enough damage to Kruul. Got him only to 12% on my best try. The elementals just knock me off the plattform or Annihilate kills me on the 3rd hit. I guess I'll give up. Respect to everyone who manages to do this. This is just too chaotic for me or I am missing something in the 2nd phase.
Try getting demon slayer enchant on weap and some socketed gear from siege of orgrimar mytic, add 3 agi gems to those.
I started this with my Druid first fight, insane heart race, blown off the platform with first golem, then 2k gold
In repairs later I got to phase two, died on stupid lines and adds and then had my dead corps blown off the platform, 3k gold in repairs later I’m now getting to phase two easier but, I’m seeing how much damage people put on varis so quick, and I don’t know what I’m not doing as I keep dots on varis all the time, and he takes for ever to go down, even if I bear him down, still takes for ever, so much going on in phase two… I walk out of the game room, wife asks, “ did you get your teddy bear thing?”
Me: No…😢 I’m not worthy 😞
Wife: awww…
Me: mmhmmm 😢
🤣🤣 I love this so much mate, this is pretty similar to things at my house in Legion when this was first around. Stick at it though mate, you will get it eventually and when you do, it'll be the best thing you've done in WoW. Stick at it!!! The more you do it, obviously the calmer you get in that phase 2, and that's the huge thing, being able to chill in those final parts.
@@Darkmech thank you for your words of Affirmation. 😭
Hoping that Affirmation buff sticks around this weekend…
If I get that Druid skin, it’s going to be my main toon.
Been WoWing since 2008, have to add skin to the collection.
Man. I’m like 150 pulls in and have only gotten the phase 2 guy to about 30k. I just can’t keep track of all the things going on a once. Not sure how you’re killing stuff so fast either. Might have to go farm all the consumables and socket gear.
The sockets and consumables really do help, but only once you're comfy in the phases. My advice is to just keep pulling until you can keep track, till you're not getting overwhelmed.
Believe me, when I started this tower in Legion, I could feel my heart beating in my ears when I would get to phase 2 EVERYTIME, and then eventually I had done it so much, I managed to just be able to relax and focus through it. You will get there, keep smashing it =)
@@Darkmech finally got it. Took a day off and came back to it. Slowed down and made sure to use every cooldown. Only ended up using a flask from BFA I think. Died either with Kruul at 1% and the NPCs finished it.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Great guide! I'm not a bear tank but I got this on my 5th try! Warrior next? :D
Thanks mate! Well done!!! I've actually made guides for the lot of them back in SL when the tower came out so I hadn't planned on doing a full role call again, but I can certainly look at it
Please do an addon tutorial or an import for your ElvUI this looks so clean!
Haha thank you =) It's coming soonTM (i have been saying this for ages) but it is actually going to happen in the next few weeks!
Does anyone know why I didn't got the Fel-Bear form for Guardian Druid after I completed the Mage Tower challenge?
Did you die at the end by chance? It could also be, and this sucks, there was a bug that happened from day 1 when it came back that some people would complete and then not get the skin. Blizz wouldn't do anything about it, and you had to do the challenge all over again.
@@Darkmech Nvm, i got it, appearntly it doesn't tell you that the skin was acquired, when I went to the barber shop i noticed that I could change into the Fel-Bear
Thanks!
I noticed they must have buffed Kruul after patch, now is much harder? before i got him to 4% now i not even near 50%
I'm not sure on this one, I shall go and do the tower tomorrow or tonight again when I get a chance and report back =)
Hey mate, they haven't just went and completed the tower again. You likely let a twisted reflection cast go off which is why he healed so much. Was still able to knock it over in 3 mins 4 seconds. You def got this, just watch that cast and be sure to interrupt it!
@@Darkmech yes kind of stressed when kruul comes, eye spawn adds spawn and infernal same time chaos 😂
Im still trying like 200 tries never give up cant even play the game before i manage this lol
I'm level 60. Struggling a lot on the second fase. Getting killed by the second anihilate, no matter what I do
What CD's are you using for your annihilate order?
I also wish i could get my Elvi Ui working without thousands of errors.
i have one this 40 times tried every guide i can find and i die die die
i'm trying but keep getting dead, but i will keep going the fel bear shall be mine
You got this mate! KEEP FIGHTING!
