Entire guilds are using this to get their Felbears because they discovered it on PTR, and this is completely unfair. This was discovered on the PTR and reported but Blizzard did not bother fixing it, and it is now live.

This also stops him from dropping his corruption aura, so every tank can get 100% uptime on him and enter phase 2 with only 1 infernal. Love it or hate it, are you working your way through the Mage Tower challenge now? Or have you already finished it (and I really am just a terrible player)? Please, share your horror stories so that we may all commiserate over it in the comments.So its apparently now a well known glitch (at least in the discord server I’m in) that if you drop the Soul Trap shadowlands engineering item where inquisitor variss moves to at the start of the encounter that it will banish him for about 4 seconds before the fight starts, just after his RP. And with the clock ticking down, I want to know if you’re in the middle of the same struggle. So, as you can see I have something of a love/hate relationship with the Mage Tower.

This challenge is a full on existential crisis, and I have to finish it or else I have wasted my life. Every failure makes me feel like I must be a terrible player, like I’ve spent over a decade of my life playing a video game only to still be so bad at it that I can’t kill a few dumb ghosts. But for now, it remains an exercise in frustration, where I constantly feel like I’m almost good enough to make progress, but not actually good enough. I’ve really had to work at this, and maybe that’s the whole point of the thing: less about the rewards and more about the satisfaction of having done it. While the Mage Tower is down, I’ve farmed for leather for drums, herbs for flasks, and Nethershards so I can get in the door. I’ve evaluated and re-evaluated my gear, my stat priorities, my enchantments, my buffs, my talents. I’ve changed my hotkeys to more easily access must-use abilities that aren’t in my standard healing rotation. I’ve rearranged my UI to make cooldowns and health bars more visible in the middle of my screen so I can react more quickly. It’s really challenged me to think about how I play. If I were just a little bit better, a little bit faster, I could do this. I started out thinking the healer challenge was an impossible task, possibly given to us as a cruel joke. But with every attempt, it feels less impossible. (Unless it turns out that I can’t, in which case I would like us all to agree that we never had this conversation.) I want to finish it because I’ve sunk so much time into trying and I’m not willing to let all that effort be wasted.

While I haven’t kept a precise count, I’m up to around attempt 30 right now, and I don’t even care about the Artifact appearance anymore. I told myself that nothing was worth that amount of frustration.Īpparently I was wrong, because here I am… back at the Mage Tower. I tried doing the healer challenge a few times with limited preparation and wrote it off as impossible. I’ve really brought this time pressure on myself - and anyone currently in a rush to do the challenge right now is probably in the same state. It’s up at the moment, but it’s under attack and soon we’ll have to rebuild it before we can take another swing at the challenge. And if that time pressure wasn’t enough, the Mage Tower on the Broken Shore, where the scenario takes place, isn’t always available. (And if you weren’t aware… well, now you are.) The Artifact appearance you unlock by completing this challenge will be leaving us after Legion (likely in the Battle for Azeroth pre-patch), and that means there’s limited time to finish the scenario and reap the rewards. If you follow me on Twitter, you’re probably aware that I’m working on finishing the Mage Tower challenge.
