idk.Īgreed, stat templates should have been made for all the challenges tbh. 1) Ignore pain 2) IP + Last Stand 3) IP + Shield Wall 4) …? Demoralizing Roar + IP + Commanding Shout? That doesn’t seem to be enough. I currently working on prot warrior and having a hard time figuring out what I’m supposed to use to survive. Something was super off, maybe it was latency, but it really felt like it had started the channel before actually being functional again.Īnother way to tune kruul while keeping the spirit of the challenge is to just have annihilates spaced out a bit more. I had an infernal reconstitute itself AND complete a knock back channel within a single wrath cast. But on druid, I really noticed it on p1 when in boomkin. On my pally I sometimes thought the knockback spell was coming out too fast, but I was always moving around so it didn’t matter as much. One thing that I think is a bug that I didn’t notice until I did it on guardian druid is the infernal wake up channel. This way it really is just you vs the encounter. I do think some more tuning is warranted - or just creating gear templates ‘don the initiate’s garb and accept this challenge hero’ type deal.

I know that’s part of the challenge and I wouldn’t want to see that completely removed, but I think making the orb locations more apparent and adjusting the infernal smash to not cover everything up would be solid changes. The spell clutter seems to be an issue for some people. Just an observation between what I have personally experienced in my numerous runs and what I have been reading on the forums.

As I said, I killed it day 2 pre-nerf with about 60ish total pulls, so my suggestions aren’t for my benefit. That is another reason why I think another slight hp nerf to Kruul wouldn’t be a bad thing.

I know they are tuned by spec and guardian is one of the harder tank challenges currently. That said, I’ve done the guardian challenge 6 times since it’s been back to test things out and try and help my guildmates out. It is still something I think they should look into since it wasn’t a one off. I suppose my deaths when I was clearly halfway in the orbs could have been ping related, maybe. And no, I don’t want to trivialize any of the difficulty unless something is just completely overblown. I’d love for others post on the other tower challenges in a similar fashion. I think everything else is tuned well for fury, but the hp just makes it drag on and on and on and it’s adding to the difficulty imo. I know this is an endurance fight, but I would like to see an adjustment to Agatha’s hp.And before anyone says anything, I killed it day 2 pre-nerfs but his hp seems to be a problem for a lot of folks and forces most of them to go get old gear and trinkets to get that final edge. I think Kruul could benefit from another 2-5% hp nerf.FYI, I recognize this is part of the skill, so I am not asking for this to be completely reworked, just adjusted slightly.

You can see it slightly through the stomp but you can’t really see it through the infernal smash. Personally, I think either the orbs should have better highlighting, the beam coming out of them from the top should be brighter, or the infernal smash and stomp puddle animations should not cover up the bottom circle of the orb. It’s super difficult to see the healing orbs with a stomp puddle, infernal smash, infernal aoe pulse, and the horror’s all nearby or on top of one.

I’d like to see the enemy spell animation clutter reduced.

Another thing that I think needs to be looked at.

The infernal’s smash hitbox seems bigger than the animation.

(assuming you’re kiting around the edges to keep the orb area clean)

While you can recover with roar, charging to an add, or buying time with an incap (and cat dashing if needed), it’s super frustrating knowing that your run is basically scuffed when this happens 99% of the time. Sometimes the overlap happens with orbs, a stomp+slow application, horrors rushing to Velen, and an infernal smash all at the same time. I feel the cutter beam pushback could be tuned back slightly.Note this pertains Guardian since that’s the only tank I’ve run the challenge on, but this may be consistent across all tank challenges. I believe the hitbox is smaller than the spell effect indicator on the ground and I think this should be looked into. I had 8ish wipes yesterday where I was halfway across the orb edge border and the orb didn’t pop. Please don’t use this to complain about the difficulty unless you’re going to explain why you feel it’s difficult and also bring valid solutions. I’m open to tips and tricks being posted. So far I’ve only done the tank challenge as a guardian druid and Agatha as a fury warrior, but hopefully, this will serve as a good source for feedback. Starting this to provide valid feedback around the mage tower scenarios.
