This means you will be taking 1 to 2 stacks of Decay when you attempt to refresh this, that is OK thanks to Restoration Affinity. Dps will include keeping up Moonfire, and maintaining three stacks of Thrash is a must, and almost makes up for the lack of damage from not taking Balance Affinity. Your overall strategy for Phase 1, is to dps Varriss as much as possible while not obtaining too many stacks of decay, while dealing with the mechanics below. Only used it upon entry into Phase 2 to save money. Goblin Glider - while my winning attempt did not use one, they did help me early on while learning the fight.ĭefiled Augment Rune - Still had a bunch from my time in Legion. Shadowcore Oil - Applied one to each claw, good damage increase. Using at least one of these is important.ĭrums - Any find to use at the start of Phase 2, this is important. Alternatively you can use Potion of Phantom fire I tried both, there is a difference but it is not too steep. You can gather and sell Zenethid to fund this expense. Potion of Unbridled Fury - Still a lot of damage, however it is expensive. Greater Dreanic Agility Potion - Could use any flask, just went with Draenic because it was cheapest. I did not go crazy with the consumables, money was tight and a variable.

Splintered Heart of Al’ar - Quite the luxurious item but I would have preferred Blood Splattered Scale if I had it. (Thanks to Rofl-1337 on reddit for that bit) You are missing out of Lightless Force however, you can double up on Shadowcore Oil since they are two weapons and the damage in most cases outdid Lightless Force. Claws of Ursoc - Legion Artifact Weapon for Guardian.I was nowhere near optimized with 11% haste and 16% crit, 13% vers. Rend and Tear - Pretty standard again, less damage to you, more damage to them.įor all slots minus weapon and trinkets I used standard Shadowlands gear, all of which gets scaled down to 50 item level. Survival of the Fittest - Pretty standard among Mage Tower builds, more Survival Instincts and Barkskin is crucial for surviving Annihilates. Galactic Guardian is definitely helpful for phase 1, but phase 2 is what is going to make or break you getting your Blightbear. Incarnation: Guardian of Ursoc - After testing this versus Galactic Guardian, I found Incarnation helped too much in the last phase to pass up. Mighty Bash - This is the reason you can do this build, delaying Annihilates is incredibly useful and should be used at the latest moment to prolong Phase 2. I found myself getting low a lot with Balance and spending a lot of time healing. Restoration Affinity - this is probably where your build and mine will differ I found the extra healing and access to Rejuvenate and Swiftmend invaluable. Wild Charge - mobility is key in this encounter and gets you an extra life if launched. I cleared this after exactly 186 tries.īrambles - great damage combined with Barkskin and helps with 1st phase a great deal.
#MAGE TOWER GUIDE 9.1 5 HOW TO#
I do not believe this is the best strategy or best gear, but my own personal account that worked best for me that I am sharing in hopes it helps you make decisions on how to build your bear. I have 1500 mythic rating this season and I am 3/10 H nothing to brag about. I mostly grind M+ with small excisions into raiding. Just a little about me I am definitely not the best Guardian Druid despite playing bear since Wrath of the Lich King.

After completing it myself, I wanted to try to give back if it was not for the forums, reddit, and youtube videos of people sharing their attempts and knowledge, I would not have been able to complete it. Wanted to write up a small guide to the 9.1.5 Mage Tower for Guardian Druids after seeing quite few forum posts with others struggling.
