Challenge Mode Question

[MadMilitia]

Very realistic IMO.

I have a team that is basically all LFR / Flex geared and I run this comp which has next to no AOE CC.

WAR - Prot
SHM - Resto
Hunter - Marks * 3


I've been trying my hand at them since this weekend. Did Mogu'shan palace three times and managed to snag bronze. Just missed silver because I wiped twice. Not bad for three CM attempts!

Once I mix flasks + pots + invis pots into the mix I should be able to get silver easy on this one. I read that Mogu'shan is considered one of the harder ones because of the damage the trash packs do. Weaponsmaster is a joke if you save enough cooldowns for him. I save bloodlust for that fight as the room traps will get you if you take too long on it.


I should note what I'm doing to get along.

Marks has pretty weak AoE damage but really strong single target damage. So I'm doing about 70k average single target with marks *3. I just trap a couple of mobs in the usual trash packs so they don't global my tank. Then for the heavy hitters / armor crunchers I run a stun chain 3* intimidate, 1* shockwave to keep them locked down most of the time. My tank on my bronze run didn't use a single defensive cooldown until Gekkan.

I wiped because I didn't invis my way to Gekkan and wound up pulling the patrol in the doorway with the two hexers.

The other time I wiped was just a stupid latency issue where had a target, then swapped the target but the assist FTL didn't pick up the new target when I clicked it. Sometimes it will grab the old target. I just attribute it to latency if you do it too fast. It broke a CC and then I wiped.

I may try my hand at Wyvern's sting here soon to see if that is a better option than freezing trap. From what I understand though, gold is out of the question unless you AE the packs down. But I wanna see how far I can get with a single target approach. I'm not 100% convinced it matters.
