Bug description: Fel Burst Must have 30 sec cooldown while it doesnt. When Tugar gets feared and moves a bit around i get an instant death which makes quest impossible to complete. I have had 48 tries on this and died like 35 times as CHATER. Really?!?! Cheater?!

Also you can read about spells and cooldowns in this link https://www.wowhead.com/discipline-priest-artifact-challenge-guide


Suggestions: Its easy to get Fel Burst 30 sec CD. but for insta death there is 2 ways u can do. 1) Don't bother your self with Tugar's location. If a player moved more than what he is supposed to do, then insta kill player. not when Tugar moved out!!!! 2) Once in combat, a barrier appears or gets activated which prevents player or Tugar from moveing out of their ways. 3) When he gets feared he doesn't move at all. Problem solved players happy XO XO

nether horror at tank mage tower is still casting while moving

The archmage xylem in havoc demon hunter challenge should NOT apply darkness to player instantly there should be a 2-3 sec delay. The fast darkness application makes it very hard to get to archmage in time.

https://imgur.com/0vuO7Hb As you can see darkness is applied to me as soon as I entered.
Another thing is that when you enter the bubble by killing the ads as long as you are inside it you should not get any damage. As you can see from the first video that he just stays in there and regenerates his health. On our server the health bar just dances back and forth making it hard for people with low gear to do the challenge unless they get really lucky and archmage spawns right next to them.

Also in stage 2 the corrupting darkness applies seed of corruption that spawns adds.
The corrupting darkness should stay stationary and the adds should move towards him, BUT when adds get closer the corrupting darkness moves to them and consumes them.
It should ONLY consume them when they reach him, he should not move. please fix it, it makes the challenge only completable with very high ilvl that can nuke the adds in the half of the distance

Bug description: Xylem Challenge, In second phase, the void lord summon 3 void adds we gotta kill. These adds take something like 60% reduced damage from survival hunter aoe spells. My butchery crits for 300k instead of 1million on them. Caltroops does 10k instead of 24k.
I spent around 4 hours yesterday and 2 hours today to beat these three adds with 917 ilvl and BiS legendaries. its impossible with the current bug.

Proof: Compare these two Screenshots, first one is from the find with Mage Tower (the Darkness Within add), second is from killing a random mob.
check damage of Caltroops and Butchery:

I can confirm everything said for Xylem (Closing the Eye) Mage Tower Challenge, and list them accordingly:

1. Players take damage while inside Mirror Image bubbles, which should not happen (you basically take as much damage as you heal inside them, or even more than you heal - this bug only occurs sometimes; no idea why),
3. Players cannot change their talents between phases (I even tried giving it a couple of minutes before starting P2, and I even tried using a Tome of the Tranquil Mind multiple times during that time on multiple attempts - nothing worked), which is necessary for dealing with the adds in Phase 2 - this was reported earlier to have been fixed, but obviously it is not,
4. Darkness Within mobs (the adds in Phase 2) take reduced damage from all sources (this is the only one I can't confirm 100% since there isn't really time to look at damage meters while trying to kill adds) - my guess is they share the -25% reduced damage of the boss itself (for the boss itself this is easily verifiable by checking the Freakz database, but I can't confirm it for the adds 100% since you can't search/find them in the database), which should not be the case,
5. Corrupting Shadows (Phase 2 boss) starts moving on a timer after casting Seed of Darkness (the ability that spawns adds) instead of staying in one place until you either finish killing the adds or the adds reach it, which means the boss will start moving towards you (and, therefore, towards the adds) before you can kill them (unless your ilvl and damage are insanely high, which is even more necessary due to the bug listed under #4). Some people have suggested that the boss starts moving towards adds when they get close to him, but that's simply the effect of the boss moving on a timer instead of when the mobs actually die or reach it by themselves).

There were a few more minor bugs here and there in the fight, but none that would significantly affect player experience.

I've done over 65 attempts since last night at 911 ilvl on my DH (with the legendary bracers and the appropriate AoE talents active for P2 + 955 Umbral Warglaives - the best AoE trinket in the game), with multiple attempts in P2 as well, so I can confirm all listed issues with confidence.

When Highlord Kruul's Annihilate get interrupted he should try to cast again until successfully cast. On Freakz it doesn't happen.

number 4 and 5, i can confirm these are the most terrible bugs in this challenge.
Thank you for detailed explaination Gadoschi

I have reported the number 4 aswell, here:
i think the three mobs have kind of Avoidance

Wow freakz link: https://www.wow-freakz.com/quest_helper.php?quest=45526&&name=the-god-queen-s-fury

Bug description: the behavior of certain spells/abilities is wrong for retribution paladin.

Expected behavior:

(1) Runeseer Faljar casts Ancestral Knowledge after being empowered by Sigryn.
(2) Jarl Velbrand starts by not moving at all and casting Hurl Axe, similar to Runeseer's Shadowbolt.
(3) Dark Wings CD is a bit greater (>15 seconds), and damage is applied while the Valkyr move over the room (and not before).
(4) Runes always spawn on a circle centered in the middle of the arena (also, there is a problem with the center triggering a detonation after you clear all runes).
(5) Fel Skein doesn't break repentance, so Sigryn shouldn't move while incapacitated (this was also noticed by a rogue in the corresponding scenario).

Proof:

Wowhead
Expected behavior
Repentance bug proof

Edit:

After a few unsuccesful tries I managed to finish the quest line; for some reason Jarl can be sapped, which works. The damage from the Fel Skein seems to be wrong however, Jarl should die first, and if this happens, after a short time (hopefully!) the dialogue which ends this phase should allow you to finish the scenario. Here, I took the next quest but Jarl was at ~50 M HP, I was lucky I had bubble and realized I can stun him when he casts bladestorm, so that after DPSing him the extra action button pops out which allows me to jump to the Vault of Eyir.

Bug description: Bug description: When you have to kite the boss aroud its speed buff is stacking too fast it should be much slower. The grasp from beyond add is not showing up it can not be targeted only when there is like 0.1 second left of its cast. The first boss starts moving again before the 2nd boss reaches 60% health and its speed stacks do not get removved like they should. The durid blink moves you under the texture. The small adds are a lot faster than intended. Not part of the topic but the disappearence of the epic items is starting to get more and more common and it makes progression for those who are not lazy or rich enough to buy gear from the donor shop really annoying.

Is anything being done about Xylem challenge?
Mage Tower is almost up again and, yet, we still can't challenge talents (even with the use of a Tome), and it hasn't even been added to "PENDING".
May I remind that this was flagged as fixed weeks ago, even though it's clearly not.
