Gear Considerations for the Mage Tower
The effects below will not function within the Timewalking Mage Towerevent:
- Any Covenant-related effects (Covenant Ability,Signature Ability, Soulbinds, Conduits)
- Legendary Powers from Shadowlands or Legion (theitems will still provide stats, their equip effects will not)
- Legendary items from Questlines ( Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve,Warlords of Draenor Legendary Rings, Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest, Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings)
- Any Shards of Domination
- Any Battle for Azeroth systems (Azerite Gear, Traits, Essences)
- Any tier set bonuses
- Mists of Pandaria Legendary Meta Gems
You should also keep in mind that all items are scaled to item level50 in the Mage Tower. This means that your item level is completely irrelevant,and that all that matters is the quality of the items you are bringing. Thisalso means that sockets have exceptional value in Mage Tower Challenges.

Feltotem's Fall Mage Tower Strategy Guide
The fight consists of two phases. During Phase 1, you will killTugar Bloodtotem while bringing down the health of his pet worm,Jormog the Behemoth, as much as possible in preparation for Phase 2 whereyou will fight Jormog alone while its damage is buffed.
Jormog the Behemoth begins the fight with 9 stacks of Fel Hardened Scales, reducing its damage taken by 10% per stack. There isa way to remove these stacks, and once a significant amount of stacks have beenremoved, it is worth keeping Tugar and Jormog close so that you can cleave themboth in Phase 1.
7.1.
Phase 1
In Phase 1, you will kill Tugar Bloodtotem while interrupting his Fel Burst ability every time it is cast, and cleaving downJormog the Behemoth. You can use stuns to interrupt it as well. Inaddition, you will have to deal with a few other mechanics:
- Earthquake causes brown circles to spawn where rocks will fallfrom the ceiling that stay on the ground. Stand near the rocks to bait Jormog's Jormog's Fury ability to them. If he hits a rock, it will remove a stackof his Fel Hardened Scales buff that gives him reduced damage taken.
- Step out of the "X" pattern of green circles when they spawn.
- Avoid casting spells when Jormog the Behemoth casts Sonic Scream to avoid getting silenced. You can also stun this castto stop it from going off, but we generally recommend saving stuns for Fel Bursts and only using stuns to interrupt Sonic Scream whenTugar is dead.
- You will also take damage from Fel Shock and Fel-Infused Saliva, but these are unavoidable and should be self-healedthrough.
- Kill the Bile Spitter Eggs before their cast finishes. If their castfinishes, kill the Bile Spitter that spawns. The add's health is basedon the remaining health of the eggs.
- Kill Fel Surge Totems before their cast finishes, or you will bestunned for 4 seconds. They can easily be oneshot, and it is worth making amacro that targets and kills them with a simple, instant-cast ability of yourclass. We have posted an example below.
- /tar Fel Surge Totem
- /use Cobra Shot
- /targetlasttarget
Your choice of when to kill Tugar will depend a lot on your specializationand the quality of your gear. In any case, you should never kill Tugar beforeall 9 stacks of Fel Hardened Scales have been removed from Jormog. Thehigher Jormog's health is when Tugar dies, the tougher it will be to kill Jormogbefore his damage overwhelms you. On the other hand, the fight is drasticallysimplified when Tugar dies, so you will have to find the best trade-off of DPSrequirement and mechanical difficulty for you.
7.2.
Phase 2
Phase 2 begins when Tugar Bloodtotem dies and dramatically simplifiesthe fight. During this phase, you will fight Jormog the Behemoth while hedoes his Fel-Infused Saliva and Sonic Scream abilities that dealheavy damage to you. Due to Fel Rage, these will deal 150% moredamage, increasing even more over time. Use Drums of Deathly Ferocity andDPS cooldowns to kill Jormog as quickly as possible before you run out ofself-sustain here.
