Contrastare i GemelliAnshlunHowToPriestTwitterThe Battle for Azeroth pre-expansion patch date is July 17th (US) / July 18th (EU). When the pre-patch hits, the Mage Tower Challenge can't be completed, so you have limited time left.

TalentsStandard Build:Surrender to Madness Build:Resa alla Pazzia

Anima e Corpo can be used instead if you prefer to have a controllable sprint on demand.

Pazzia Persistente and San'layn can be used if you're having difficulties with the second phase of the encounter or if you're confident in your Resa alla Pazzia or using Retaggio del Vuoto.

Consapevolezza d'Ombra can be helpful if you're having difficulties in finding windows to DPS the hands and should be paired with Retaggio del Vuoto.

It is possible to complete the challenge with Retaggio del Vuoto, but using Resa alla Pazzia trivializes the last phase of the encounter.

LegendariesSegreto di Sephuz

Prydaz, Magnum Opus di Xavaric - The shield effect from it allows you to survive most of 1-shot mechanics in the scenario, which can be really helpful to ignore small mistakes.

Catene Bruciate di Anund - Can be really powerful since you're not going into Forma del Vuoto that often, making you able to bank stacks for burst windows.

Sterminio di Zek - Provides a nice burst if you can save the proc for useful situations, like hands on phase 2 and 3.

Zenk'aram, Corona di Iridi - Provides bonus damage for your Forma del Vuoto which can be useful if you're able to line it up in necessary times.

Follia di Mangaza - Provides a good burst damage, but requires you to stand still, so it is hard to capitalize on that effect since you're kiting most of the time.

Seduzione di Madre Shahraz - Not that effective in the scenario, since you're not going into Forma del Vuoto that often, but usable.

Previdenza di Norgannon - Allows you to cast while moving if you're able to find windows of 4s to stand still. Can be really useful if you manage your movement properly.

Desiderio Ardente di Kil'jaeden - Can be used to kill the small adds spawned during phases 2 and 3. Since you can ignore them, it doesn't add much value.

Tocco Doloroso delle Gemelle - Not really useful in the scenario since you can ignore the small adds in phase 2 and 3.

Save as many resources as possible.

Make sure to use a Pozione del Potere Prolungato before combat starts to be able to use another one during the fight.

You'll want to have both your DoTs up and then kite Karam Lanciamagica in the circle around Raest Lanciamagica, to minimize the amount of movement you have.

While moving, make use to use your instant-cast spells: Dardo del Vuoto during Forma del Vuoto and available, and Parola d'Ombra: Dolore otherwise.

You're able to use crowd-control effects on Karam Lanciamagica, meaning Bomba Mentale can buy you 4 seconds to cast Tocco Vampirico, Eruzione del Vuoto or Torrente del Vuoto or to regain distance from him.

Make sure to use Flagello Mentale as often as possible (at least once every 10 seconds) to both slow Karam Lanciamagica and proc Richiamo del Vuoto, because the tentacles' Flagello Mentale also slows the target.

Towards the end of the phase, be careful going into Forma del Vuoto, because leaving it means you'll have no movespeed from Smania which might kill you.

Consider using Bacchetta Folgorante del Gigantosauro or Radice Contorta di Cuorquercia as trinket option because their proc effect also slows the target and it has a quick high uptime and can save you if you're lucky enough!

Intermission

Since Demonio Ombrosos are really slow, don't waste your time killing them, just kite them for the rest of the fight meaning that during the intermission you will be able to mostly stand still and DPS Raest Lanciamagica.

Again avoid using long cooldowns, but you still should get him to around 70~75% health remaining.

Phase 2Phase 1Mano DimensionaleMano Dimensionale

Use Plagiamente to kill it quickly and Silenzio it at the end of the cast of the first Presa Fatua.

Use your Pozione del Potere Prolungato to kill it quickly and Dispersione at the end of the cast of the first Presa Fatua.

If using Resa alla Pazzia, use it Sometime before the next hand spawns, meaning you'll be in Forma del Vuoto and able to cast while move when it spawns. use Silenzio the first cast if it happens. If you aren't talented into Resa alla Pazzia try to make sure you are in Voidform to kill it quickly.

Phase 3Phase 1Raest LanciamagicaKaram Lanciamagica

Use Tamburi della Montagna/Tamburi della Furia soon as the phase starts. As well your second potion (if you forgot).

Apply both your DoTs to Raest Lanciamagica and abuse the effects from Resa alla Pazzia to cast while moving while dealing massive amounts of damage to it.

Soon as Karam Lanciamagica becomes attackable, apply your DoTs to him just to generate more Pazzia via Spiriti Propizi.

Use Plagiamente as soon as it comes back from cooldown.

Stand on top of Runa dell'Evocazione when they are about to spawn (around 4 seconds to activate), If you are talented into Resa alla Pazzia it should be simple since you can cast while moving.

Apply both your DoTs to eventual Mano Dimensionale spawns, they should die before any casts.
