This means that your gear, trinkets and stats do matter, but all your gear is scaled down to a maximum of item level 50. All standard gear above ilvl 50 is automatically scaled down to ilvl 50 while inside the Mage Tower scenarios.The TImewalking version of the Mage Tower follows Timewalking gear rules, and as such, gearing to take on the tower is a little different.

All of his attacks deal magic damage. In Battle, tanks will be more vulnerable to magic damage since most of their active mitigation abilities give them armor rather than damage reduction. Some would trivialize the challenge, but others would make it harder. In Battle, and every subsequent expansion, classes will get their abilities changed. It would not surprise me if the targeted item level was lower than what many players are using today to beat the Mage Tower.īut item levels can’t compensate for changes to class mechanics.

While it’s true that time-limited content isn’t anything new, it’s something that’s changed over time. Second, it provided a powerful motivator and tangible goal for my playtime as Warlords of Draenor approached. One, I resubscribed to WoW much sooner than I otherwise would have.
