The key to this fight is almost entirely a mechanics check, don't be afraid to take things slow and not worry about damage.

Because all 3 enemies share an HP bar, you should generally focus Runeseer Faljar so you don't need to set up for Ancestral Knowledge.

Occasionally, golden orbs will spawn throughout the room. These are Orb of Valor and will heal you when you run into them.

Save mobility cooldowns to help with Sigryn or Runic Detonation.

Drums of Deathly Ferocity are best used on the pull due to there being only one phase.

Crowd controlling Sigryn will have diminishing returns, so if you opt to CC her for most of the fight, make sure you have a different form of CC to stop Blood of the Father.

The only DPS check of the fight is Ancestral Knowledge. If you are struggling, don't be afraid to save cooldowns for this.

How to Defeat the God-Queen's FurySigryn

Throw Spear - Throws a spear at the player, dealing minor physical damage and leaving a fel puddle.

Dark Wings - Sigryn creates a wall of Val'kyr with a gap amidst it. Stand in the gap to avoid taking massive damage upon impact.

Advance - Sigryn randomly charges and knocks the player back, dealing minor physical damage.

Blood of the Father - A pulsing AoE effect around Sigryn that ramps up in damage each second. The easiest way to deal with the ability is to CC her during the cast, to prevent her from casting it.

Jarl Velbrand

Hurl Axe - Launches 3 axes that will spin across the room, easily avoidable, and does minor physical damage.

Bladestorm - Whirlwind effect that slowly pulls you in. Easily dealt with by either running away or interrupting the cast with cc.

Berserker's Rage - Increases Jarl Velbrand's attack speed and damage significantly at the cost of movement speed. Simply slow him if you can and kite him until this buff expires.

Runeseer Faljar

Shadowbolt - An interruptable cast that deals significant shadow damage.

Runic Detonation - Runeseer Faljar will periodically spawn three runes throughout the room. They will shrink until they finally explode, dealing a large amount of shadow damage. Simply stand on them to get rid of them.

Ancestral Knowledge - Runeseer Faljar shields himself and begins casting a 20-second cast that will instantly kill you upon completion. While the shield is active, he is immune to interrupts.

however there is no enrage on this encounter.

It would appear this has been changed in the timewalking version. I do remember there not being an enrage here in Legion, having snailed my way through the demo tower in Legion whilst barely understanding the spec, but I have now had 3 attempts (including my kill on demo) hit what looks like a new enrage timer. It appears to be at about 6:30 into the fight, affecting Sigryn and Jarl - the Runeseer did not have the enrage.

I have picture and video, and can add a link here if proof is desired.

This really feels like it goes against the spirit if they've added an enrage timer to what was originally an almost entirely mechanics-focused fight rather than requiring high overall DPS check. Unless perhaps it was there in the Legion version, however every guide I've looked at for both the Legion version and the timewalking version either don't mention an enrage, or comment on the lack of one.

Just pointing out that this is a line "Based on PTR testing, Retribution Paladin seemed to be the easiest class to complete the Tank Mage Tower challenge." Seems unintended.

Comment by Swimmed

This is pretty insane as ret paladin. Totally doable, but anyone saying there isn't RNG is wrong and probably got good RNG on their completion. Bubble man bubbling in pools, wall mechanic having an opening on the other side of the room as bubble man, etc... Doable, but pretty random and inconsistent. Getting back to back to back advance during bubble window + runes + wall is just like... impossible. Even if you saved Divine Shield for this exact moment by the time the bubble cast is over your bubble will be gone and you'll be donezo.

**** However, I did discover that the Shadowlands Engineering Land-Mine item works in this and does indeed launch one of them into the air, usually Sigryn.

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but I feel like Jarl is getting a huge attack speed increase at random intervals unrelated to the Berserker's Rage. As a Sin that has done this on live, I've never noticed these crazy chains of damage intervals.

I could link to it, but lets use the short version that in an interval of 4.7 seconds I got 8 melee hits, of which three duo's of hits that followed within 0.1 second. Now usually the Orbs are there to save me, but on the last try of this evening I simply got mowed down from about 50% hp to 0 without any indication whatsoever; the previous and current empowerment was Runeblade so it definitely wasn't Rage. Annoying, at the least, as I otherwise got this fight quite under control.

Tips,

Keep everyone in the middle of the room whenever possible. If ground orbs spawn you are able to get to the small one quickly this way and take some RNG out of the fight.
Make a target / last target CC macro for Sigryn and a stun macro for Jarl.
Only leave Sigryn CCd until blood of the fathers duration has expired. (Green debuff on my threatplates) Break him out for added cleave and to be sure you do not hit CC immune DR which will immediately wipe your try. If you use this method you can get a full 60 second CC on sigryn once Jarl dies. Then you only have to worry about a couple mechanics for the last 10/20% of their health.
Avoidance/Leech/Speed gear modifiers are all very useful for this encounter

My strat involved opening the fight by immediately blowing all cooldowns (pot/drums) and targeting farseer. By the time drums/wings wore off i was getting below 80% health pretty consistently. Typically i was in the low 60% high 50% range by the first dark wings.
The worse your dps is, the higher chance you have of getting bad RNG overlaps on dark wings and pink circles.

Took me about 50 tries on my ret pally. Most were done on my laptop on vacation. I needed my home PC setup to get this one done.

My ret pally talents were Zeal/Sanctified Wrath/Purpose/Cavalier/Repentance/Empyrean Power

To overcome de-syncs and get more control as an Engineer:

Frag Belt Frag Belt
1m Cooldown
Make a macro so its quick:
/use "belt item name'
Other grenades or bombs also work if you are not an engineer but they might use a longer cooldown.

After 10.1, I encountered that as their health got low, Faljar would begin to spam Ancestral Knowledge. Having to burn through three shields back to back made it impossible, even with short cooldown burst trinkets (was doing 5-6k dps during burst windows). I decided to completely ignore this mechanic by popping defensives to survive the cast (used one of the darkmoon trinkets that gives a large shield and is easy to buy off the AH). I was able to finish the challenge a lot quicker by being able to use all of my burst to delete boss health rather than to break the shield. Just unload on Sigryn from start to end and GG.

I somehow managed to blink out of the arena and reset the fight. Thank you Blizzard.
