Comment by sikhjatt23strange @ the guardian dr00d fix but the blud dik knight one def needed itComment by MkomLet's hope these are the only changes that happen to the mage tower tuning. Feels sad that so many people complain that the challenges are way too hard and impossible, even when you see plenty of people have already done it. The rewards are just cosmetic so I don't see why blizz should change it to antorus difficulty of mage tower, which was basicly a freebie.Comment by dd614It wasn't a freebie for most players as very few people actually did it. People always quick to judge from their elitist bubble. It's a big part of the reason the WoW community is awful compared to FF.Comment by mm0pLet's hope these are the only changes that happen to the mage tower tuning.

As guardian druid I needed to tank 4/5 annihilations compared to when I did on DH you literally kill the boss in 2/3 annihilationsComment by RellyneLet's hope these are the only changes that happen to the mage tower tuning.

I don't really comprehend either why the BDK challenge has more HP than any other tank, when it's currently the less hitting tank of them all and, while this is not a problem on P1, P2 can't take too long or you will definitely wipe.

The Druid change makes the tower more difficult on P2 and has no sense.Comment by CeredalirThat’s is the dumbest fix for Druid. I’d rather they not move while actually channeling. Why in the world would they stop them in place while casting. FfsComment by zathraeYeah, this is not a nerf for guardian. Meeting the DPS check while having X more variables to consider with the now even more erratic behaviour of Horrors is not a nerf.Comment by Mkom While i agree with you that they shouldn't change anything at this point. The guardian druid challange is nothing like the original challenge was like back in legion. Using insane range thrash stacking up to 5 times the fight is completely different than it used to be.
If we take out the exploits and cheeses (that were already fixed), the "plenty of people" gets really lower.

Basically people who farmed bizzare old gear to exploit the crazy scale ended up finishing it.

Let them fix the scale.Comment by tekokidJust fix the health pools and scaling... This change only makes it more annoying for guardian druid.. the nethers were already the easy partComment by CrusherixAs a guardian druid i'll have even more fun getting cancer from trying to keep Velen alive.
Thx blizz, good fix. /sComment by solliddusTook them til today though to fix the Soul Trap exploit that basically trivialised P1 and made this change as well. Weird.Comment by Dejo93So no tuning or nerfs? Well done /sComment by sabocanJust when I thought they can't be any more out of touch...Comment by RecruitieLet's hope these are the only changes that happen to the mage tower tuning.
