It's less useful on Xylem than it is against the demon, so I'd recommend better legendaries for him. You can do this with Arcane Torrent if you're playing horde.Īnger of the Half-Giants The best legendary. Against the demon, it's fairly good- both the boss AND the adds are vulnerable to CC, so you can get the damage out faster to kill the adds, and burn the boss better when you proc it. Interrupting the clones he summons provides a huge speed boost which might be essential to surviving a darkness phase. Sephuz's Secret You will be triggering this ring almost on cooldown against Xylem, which is a huge deal. It might help you get past the darkness sections against Xylem, but proper timing, positioning, and practice will be more important there. Fel rush doesn't deal enough damage to justify using this, even when you need to knock out the adds.Ĭrafted Legendary Boots Also a statstick. Loramus Thalipedes' Sacrifice It basically is a stat stick. Against the demon, it gives you a boost to damage against the adds and gives you that little bit of edge you might need to pull through the fight. If you have to choose between the two, take this over the trinket.Ĭinidaria, the Symbiote It doesn't help you at all during the Xylem fight- you don't need healing when trapped in Razor Ice, since Soul Rending+Demonic heals you to full by using Eye Beams. You MUST equip this or the burning wish trinket if you want to kill the adds without popping nemesis/chaos blades on time. Mo'arg Bionic Stabilizers 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).Īchor, the Eternal Hunger Almost as good as Prydaz for survivability. 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.ĭelusions of Grandeur Not particularly useful against Xylem, but it does let you kill him slightly faster with the increased metamorphosis timing. 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. Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum Opus 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. Raddon's Cascading Eyes 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.
