On the Broken Shore, the new area from Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras” in World of Warcraft, there is a lot for players to do. Every few days, the efforts of the heroes are enough to complete one of the three buildings. In Europe, the decision was made for the Mage Tower, which is active for exactly 3 days before the Legion destroys it again (and the construction of a new building begins).
Only the Mage Tower allows players to tackle the particularly difficult class challenges, which unlock the new skins for artifact weapons!
Currently, many players are still struggling with the challenges, as they are really hard. The problem should decrease as item levels rise. Anyone with less than 900 average item level should avoid the challenge and gather gear first. Each challenge consists of a tough fight that tests the player’s skill depending on their specialization.
Some users have already published videos of their successes, which give a first impression. There aren’t yet meaningful guides for all challenges, but the videos provide a good initial impression.
WoW: Defeat the Twins
Challenge for: Frost Mage, Balance Druid, Affliction Warlock, Shadow Priest, Marksmanship Hunter
Strategy Tips: The fight takes place in 2 phases. In the first, you must defeat Karam, who relentlessly follows you. He can be slowed and stunned, but he must never reach you! If he does, you will take massive damage – typically, a single hit from him will kill you. Skillful kiting and slowing are essential here.
In the second phase, you fight against Raest. He shoots relatively harmless shadow bolts but also summons a lot of creatures. Powerful area spells are necessary, or “multi-dotting” is required to kill them. He also occasionally summons shadowy hands that cast a spell causing about 3 million damage. Defeat the hands before the spell completes or interrupt them. After a few seconds, Karam re-enters the fight and it starts over.
WoW: The End of the Awakened Threat
Challenge for: Mistweaver Monk, Restoration Druid, Restoration Shaman, Holy Priest, Holy Paladin
Strategy Tips: This challenge is a very long healer scenario. Basically, none of your allies can die. In the first phase, an army of the undead must be repelled. If soldiers focus on you (they turn large and red), run away from them quickly. When archers fire a mana arrow at you (indicated by a blue mark), position yourselves so that the arrow hits Commander Jarod or stun the archer. After completing the phase, restore your mana and follow the NPCs (they will be waiting for you).
In this phase, you must destroy several eyes, but one by one! They explode upon death for massive damage. You must prove that you can deal damage effectively as a healer and save your allies under time pressure. You need to heal and dispel injured NPCs. There’s not much else to keep in mind, just that time is running out.
In the final phase, it gets crazy: heal your allies (who are attacking each other) and also the souls that the boss summons. Then “only” the boss and all the souls you couldn’t heal come. Good luck!
WoW: Wrath of the Queen
Challenge for: Arcane Mage, Retribution Paladin, Demonology Warlock, Enhancement Shaman, Assassination Rogue
Strategy Tips: Individual Val’kyr bring you golden orbs that heal you. Collect them quickly, as they only last for a short time! When the boss summons runes, collect them quickly. If they shrink and completely disappear, each will cause 3 million damage.
The three bosses share their health points, but they have different HP pools – that means some will die faster than others. Once a boss dies, the others gain “super abilities” that need to be countered quickly. Don’t get caught by the whirlwind and counter long, channeled spells that will kill you in a few seconds. Sigryn only needs to be brought down to 20% health for you to win.
WoW: An Impossible Foe
Challenge for: Outlaw Rogue, Unholy Death Knight, Elemental Shaman, Fury Warrior
Strategy Tips: Defeating the imp mother Agatha is likely to be very tough for most players. In general: all additional minions (imps) must be quickly defeated, as they heal the imp mother or even make her completely immune. Once she shields herself, she channels a spell that will ultimately kill you. Deal enough damage to break the shield and then interrupt her. After a while, flaming spheres will appear, rolling along one-third of the battlefield (left, middle, right) – avoid the spheres at all costs! A touch is typically deadly.
The fight can take a long time, as Agatha will heal herself repeatedly for several million health points. If this still seems impossible to you, work on better gear first and try again in a few weeks.
WoW: Turning a Blind Eye
Challenge for: Frost Death Knight, Survival Hunter, Subtlety Rogue, Arms Warrior, Havoc Demon Hunter
Strategy Tips: In the Frost Phase, jump and movement talents are beneficial to quickly escape the ice shards. In the Arcane phase, destroy the mirror images to gradually move towards Xylem. The “bubbles” of the adds provide brief protection, but don’t stay there too long! Under any circumstances, interrupt “Draw Power”. In the final phase, you must avoid the magical orbs, most of his other spells you simply have to endure. The phases repeat until you have defeated Xylem.
WoW: Fall of the Demon Totem
Challenge for: Destruction Warlock, Windwalker Monk, Beast Mastery Hunter, Discipline Priest
WoW: Return of the Highlord
Challenge for: Blood Death Knight, Vengeance Demon Hunter, Brewmaster Monk, Protection Paladin, Protection Warrior
Strategy Tips: As a tank, your job is to bind all enemies to you, allowing Velen and Kor’vas to survive. But high damage is also necessary to defeat the corresponding enemies quickly enough. The hardest part is finding time to deal direct damage to the boss. It’s best to save your strong AoE abilities when all enemies are gathered, so that the boss also takes damage. In the second phase, especially avoid the black lasers (by jumping), as they can lead you directly to your death.
Have you already completed your class challenge? Or are you waiting a few weeks before tackling it?
Nights in WoW are now really dark – at least if you pay attention to a new “trick”.
