Here's a spreadsheet that provides a list of gear that is believed to be BiS for Challlenge Mode content: World of Warcraft: Challenge Mode BiS List

It also has some valuable information about macros and WeakAuras in Challlenge Modes.

Needs more Ret Pally info. Melee want CM's too!

Good guy Whiterock helping with CMs :)

I have two questions.

1) Why are BrM Monks not listed here? It seems you've only listed classes that can competitively compete in Realm Best time groups. But you haven't posted for the best tank class for CMs, BrM Monks.

2) Why isn't the list completed for all specs? It would be wonderful to see what BiS was for Melee, especially WW Monks.

But thank you for what you've posted, it is very helpful and I appreciate your hard work. Thank you.

Excellent guide! Very well written; especially the gear scaling explanation. Beautifully formatted tabs. I appreciate all the work that you've put into it.

There is only one improvement I can suggest. The third word of the title should be spelled "Acquiring." This makes the guide a bit harder to search for by name.

This is the best thing I've found as far as challenge mode gearing goes. Please keep it up. :) <3.

Comment by Necrochrist

Seriously, why were warlocks completely excluded from this guide?

I think I just spent large amount of gold for nothing following this guide suggestion that Loshan, Terror Incarnate (B) as a weapon for mage is better than the one I have equipped - Arcweaver Spell Sword (E). Bought enchant for around 1k and Eye of the Black Prince for 1750g. After that I started wondering whether I should spend 7k on legendary gem or not. Than I found out this gem would not work in CMG's, so I'm left with this weapon having just 1 gem slot the same as mine current Arcweaver. They both have haste and crit as secondary stats and both can take 1 red gem, so why the hell is Loshan considered as choice B?
