If you have to choose between the two, take this over the trinket. You MUST equip this or the burning wish trinket if you want to kill the adds without popping nemesis/chaos blades on time. It does nothing against Xylem, but it's absolutely essential to killing the demon's adds as fast as possible. It helps you live through Arcane phases on Xylem, and will keep your life high during the demon fight- unfortunately since it provides no damage it's low priority for the demon fight. Pair it with a Convergence of Fates for maximum uptime if that's your game plan- which is ideal for when you fight the demon (the second metamorphosis is incredibly important since it will be coming right as your health is critical and you're almost out of space to fight).Īlmost as good as Prydaz for survivability. Not particularly useful against Xylem, but it does let you kill him slightly faster with the increased metamorphosis timing. Against the demon, it helps you survive its attacks, but since the fight is a complete DPS check there, it doesn't help very much.

Get a Weakaura to track the timer for the buff, this will help you know when to pop defensives, eye beam/metamorphosis for healing, and generally plan the fight out. It reduces the damage you take from the periodic frostbolt casts, saves your life sometimes from shadow barrage hits, and makes his arcane phase trivial to survive. The best legendary for the Xylem fight, bar none. During the demon fight, it might be useful to get a second beam out to kill the adds, but there are better options for it. Now, I know that this legendary sounds good for breaking out of the Razor Ice, but funnily enough, it's borderline useless! You're never going to benefit from the buff during the Xylem phase, since the soul fragments will set the cooldown to 0 or nearly 0 when you break out of it with eye beam+blade dance. I recommend using the Talent Set Editor addon to swap between talents from one phase to another, and having your equipment sets put on an action bar in advance so you odn't spend too much time in a panicked hurry and fuck up gear/talent swaps. Blizzard was generous enough to take you out of combat between the two parts of the scenario, take advantage of it. This means you'll also want Tomes of the Tranquil Mind. The Xylem fight requires you to focus on not dying, while the Demon requires huge DPS and some burst AoE. I just finished my fight with Xylem today, and after over 120 pulls on the guy, I think I can say that I know everything about the fight.īefore goign any further, ABSOLUTELY set up two sets of armor/legendaries in advance. A lot of guides for Mage Tower go over what people used on THEIR kill pull, and they don't talk about alternatives and budget legendary options.
