Challenge Modes BiS gear

[sk8jack]

Tried searching around but could not find any listing of BiS for Challenge Mode, does anyone know if there's any BiS gear listing for CM at the moment?

[Holycrap1]

You want well itemized hc gear pretty much. Trinkets i have no clue though sorry.

Considering you want different stats depending on spec, it is kind of hard to recommend a BiS list for challenge mode without telling us what spec you want to run with.

That being said, what I would go for is entirely based on your setup. I currently don't do CM's with my rogue, but got all gold on my blood DK. Our setup got very strong AoE, but lacking a bit on single target, so then it would be better to go with a sub rogue, perhaps, just to get the boss down faster.


There are a lot of scenarios to consider here :

- Sub scaling is better at low ilvl, and easier to play as you get more CB's from HaT and a more "regular" energy regen with SnD, but sub AoE is mediocre at best, and takes a while to "get going", as you need to get the Crimson Tempest DoT ticking.
- Combat need some haste to be viable, and t17 2. and 4. set bonus don't work in CM.
- Combat got "ok" cleave dmg, but to really blast down an AoE pack you need to pop KS / AR with BF.
- Without CD's, combat single target is not that great.




The recommended stats are :

Combat : Multistrike / haste (reason being that multistrike pulls ahead when you are doing cleave / AoE as combat).
Sub : Multistrike / mastery

For trinkets as Combat, you wanna use coin+spine and as Subtetly, you wanna use coin+scales.

Go for Multistrike/Mastery gear as Sub and Multistrike/Haste for Combat.

Get 2x slow weps and 1x dagger for Combat and weapon switch inbetween, use dagger+slow wep when 3+ targets and 2x slow weps when >3 targets.

For sub, you want 2x daggers for more poison procs on singletarget and higher uptime on wep enchant.

bis would be haste/multi on every slot

[shaithis]

Do the t17 set bonuses work in CMs?

Do the t17 set bonuses work in CMs?

No, they do not.

bis would be haste/multi on every slot, except legendary ring

Legendary ring doesn't work either in CMs. So Haste/multi on every slot possible + spine and coin for combat.

[overdose]

I prefer beating heart over coin for the insane static agi, and on use MS for huge pack pulls.

Wasn't there some OP low level questing trinket that was used by a lot of CM rogues a few months back? Is that still viable I wonder.

[Moritsume]

What enchants should we be using as Combat in cmodes? A combo of multi/haste or is shattered hand still viable?

[Skygoneblue]

The exact same reasoning that applies in every pve scenario would still apply here. Haste for single target, Multistrike for cleaving, or one of each if youre indecisive.

[Juano]

Why not multistrike / mastery on every slot and use sub for boss fights and combat dagger/slow for trash mobs?

I think that's the one, I've seen Hunters use it in carries. LDSC scaled down gives as much agility and is on a 2 min CD but lasts for 20 sec which makes it good for boss fights.

For future reference, here's a little spreadsheet with mostly correct BiS lists for the most common CM specs. It's a nice starting point but seems to have been abandoned, it's mostly right though. It recommends some Crit/Haste items which can easily be replaced with craftable and stuff like that. Maybe some LFR drops aren't even included, I haven't checked to try and get a full BiS list yet.
