Challenge modes are absolutely amazing for hardcore players, such a great idea.

^ So much this!

When we wiped the first time the first thing I said over vent was "My faith in Blizzard has just been restored. BRAVO!"

Can't outgear it with freaking handed out gear and where every player has to play perfectly and SECONDS MATTER.

Yeah definitely a big thumbs up kudos to blizzard and this, and to top it off making gear scale down to keep it hard... just brilliant!

Now does it still scale down your gear... or does it actually change the gear you wear?

[Zethious]

Any piece on you that is over 463 is scaled down to that ilvl.

Considering it scales down your gear would it be better just to keep a set of gear at 463 on hand for doing challenge modes? I am basically thinking that depending on how it scales down you could find yourself under hit cap, or under 8085 haste or something.

Hit and expertise caps etc remain capped as long as they were in your normal gear

Haven't actually done the math but im not sure it's possible to achieve the haste cap in scaled down gear?

Not a bad idea though. You could fine tune, reforge, enchant, gem a set specifically for challenge modes.

Hmmm, reforge set, DPS set, Healing set, PvP set, Challenge mode sets for T14, T15, T16............. I'm gonna need a bigger void storage.
