Re: [PvE] OMG Challenge modes are awesome! said by DarkLogix:No don't reforge, in challenge modes you're gear will auto scale down to 460, blizz is still tweaking it but they've said if you're just at the raid hit cap you'll be just at the challenge mode hit cap.
I'd question that, Dark. The blue posts I read said everything will get scaled down except your hit rating. You don't need full raid hit rating for dungeon bosses (lvl 92). So you'd want I think 6% hit rating for melee, and 11%? for casters, not sure on the exact numbers. |

Its that your HIT also gets scaled down |
|
| No. I'll check when I'm not websensed, but the blue posts I read said specifically hit is the one thing that won't get scaled. |

I had read that Hit was also getting scaled down., but they were working with it as it was scaling down by to much.
People were QQ'ing that they couldn't hit Challenge mode bosses because the scaling was messed up and it was bugging on reforges, so people were having trouble hitting them. |

said by djlar:Unless your are going for Gold, CC must be used on almost every pull, gear here doesn't matter, is pure skill...
yes... our next attempt will be to patiently finish it for the 60valor quest. Then we'll know better where we can skip groups and hurry around obstacles. |
|
| For 60 valor, do you need to finish in bronze time? |

Well, I can see your point about cc, if you are interested in bronze or silver times. I personally don't like learning to do things one way (with cc, and careful pulls) and then have to re-learn the strategy all over with no cc - since gear is not an issue, it's just skill - I'd personally rather just go for the gold strategy straigth up, and learn by failing. That's just my opinion tho  |

You won't believe the damage these mobs put out. Also, the trash has new abilities. Gotta learn all of the changes. Even a CC heavy fight will be fun. |

yes, for the quest (I think its a weekly quest) you get 60 valor for just finishing the challenge mode. Aside from the quests, you get 60VP for finishing gold, 40 for silver, 20 for bronze finishes. |

These are seriously challenging. Do not underestimate them.
From a tank perspective here is how the first trash pull went: Start timer, run in and pull trash, health drops to 2%, scramble cool downs to survive, then 2 minutes later trash finally dies off.
Second attempt. "Wow that was tough. Note to self, pop a few cool downs for initial hit." Run in pop a few cool downs and bam down to 10% health.
The first boss was interesting but it was add management that finally killed us. I had to turn off threat plates because there were to many add that I couldn't see anything other than over lapping name plates.
Stone Guard now feels like child's play.

| Sounds like fun. I have no illusions about the difficulty level. From all of the research I've done, it appears that the only way to be competitive is to achieve a very high level of coordination with interrupts and AOE stuns, and combine pulls, and use invisibility pots. |

Can anyone explain the basic mechanics for this?
How do you activate Challenge mode? IS it possible to activate it in LFD? Always premade? I would love an SS of the UI that shows how it keeps track of your best times and what not. |

kudos:3 | I haven't attempted one but what I do know is.
if you right click your pic go to dungeon difficulty select challenge mode.
And it must be full pre-made not random puging. |

dark is right, you have to set dungeon difficulty to Challenge Mode, premade is a must, and you must manually enter the instance. There is no queueing up, no insta-port. Maybe use a summon stone outside the instance, or lock summon inside if pvp at the stone isnt your thing.
