challenge mode merge in grup sau doar solo ?

[Brigadee]

you are tired bro , it works in group only , if u can't change the difficulty when you are in the group , you have to disband group , select challenge mode when you're not on party , and then invite the party members back.

Tell us exactly what mobs you are talking about and I will tell you if they should count or not The little sha's tha explode and constantly deal damage and the ones that Spit a sha-like fire in a direction. NPC name please I think they are the Consuming sha and volatile energy.

Volatile Energy shouldn't count and Consuming Sha already works



Please stop posting invalid bug reports

Btw, you can see if an NPC is required for challenge mode or not @ npc finder: https://www.wow-freakz.com/npc_finder.php?npc=56764&&name=consuming-sha "Challenge Mode objective (1)"

The legendary meta gem shouldn't proc while in challenge mode.

Also the same should be for the legendary cloaks.

Same for cloaks.

-Expertise shouldn't get downscale.

When I enter a challenge dungeon, my ilvl scales down to 463, reducing my stats by roughly 30% (rounding for the sake of simplicity). However, the system keeps my Hit and Expertise values unchanged, overcompensating by reducing the other ratings more heavily.

Disabled sockets, tier bonuses, legendary gems/cloaks (and a lot of other spells/etc)

I already ignored expertise from default item stats @ downscale, it seems I forgot about "expertise from reforge", fixed

Well, I found the reason why challenge modes were done so easily on freakz... the health and damage of npcs was WAY TOO LOW. Health must be ~2x and damage 3x, even 5x sometimes. I implemented the automatic spell damage scaling for challenge mode too, for example:
- https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=115290&&name=spirit-gale @ Thalnos @ Scarlet

Code:

Value: 389 to 410 Value: 38999 to 41000 on 5h Value: 121874 to 128125 on Challenge Mode

(3x increase)
or
- https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=102572&&name=lightning-breath @ Gu @ Shadopan

Code:

Value: 11399 to 12600 Value: 15674 to 17325 on 5h Value: 85499 to 94500 on Challenge Mode

(5x increase)

Unfortunately we don't have any exact info about how much should health or melee damage increase, but judging from videos health is 2-2.5x

Tier bonuses and sockets should work, only legendary cloak proc effects and meta gem shouldn't.

Quote:

They are supposed to work in CMs now, and knowing blizzard right when it comes to CMs(or any content this expansion really) they'll most likely do nothing about it. What an absolute joke.

Also here is a guide http://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/11982458217

He included gems, if they were disabled why include in a CM guide ?\

Quote:

Keep in mind that in challenge modes and proving grounds, the legendary cloak procc, meta and sha touched gems do not work, however the bonus sockets to weapons work, which results in ToT weapons beeing best in slot. - the more gem-sockets, the better

just completed a challenge mode dungeon

my hit chance after exiting: http://imgur.com/a/1MaP4

it affects all the stats // hit rating is the only one going down the other stats are increased (i got +~5% more mastery and +~10% more haste after exiting also expertise increased by 0.5% aswell)


edit: looks like only the hit rating from sockets is taken in consideration

This post says that sockets are disabled https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/2o1edz/what_counts_in_challenge_modes/ + https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/2wqt4z/tier_bonus_in_challenge_modes/ (also says about T16)

And regarding tier bonuses, no they should not work. Check all T16 bonuses @ spell finder, for example https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=144934&&name=item-death-knight-t16-blood-2p-bonus , ALL OF THEM have this attribute:

Code:

Not usable in Challenge Mode

Yes, you are right, sockets were disabled only in WoD because of the socket-changes @ items @ WoD. Done, re-enabled sockets
