CHALLENGE MODE TIPS

Some of the following neat tricks require specific classes, but can shave time off to let you snag that Gold you may be gunning for!

Obviously these tips can also be used on Normal, Heroic, or Mythic difficulties, although they are not as necessary.

Beginning of the Instance

There are a couple of strategies to skip the first trash packs before the boss without having to incur the 10 minute potion cooldown from an invisibility potion! The beginning trash for many groups is some of the hardest in the instance, and skipping it can really save some time for easier trash packs later on to meet mob count.

METHOD #1 - Requires: Pet Class + Druide

This method was tested by myself using a Chasseur and a Druide, although I believe an Unholy Chevalier de la mort or Démoniste should work instead of a Chasseur (although with the latter, you would likely use Method #2). Essentially, you need to be able to control where your pet and position it manually - if your class can do that, you should be able to use this trick.

The Druide must have the Minor Glyph: Glyphe carbonisé active.

Once everyone is in the Challenge Mode instance, the Chasseur/Démoniste should position their pet on the platform of the first boss, Ranjit, such that it can be reached by a Druide using Charge sauvage (See a map here with rough location markers for the Druide and Pet). Note that the pet must be positioned BEFORE starting the Challenge mode.
- The pet, when running into position, will run THROUGH the wall at the starting point of the dungeon, up the stairs and to the edge of the platform. If during this, it runs through or near mobs (which are actually invisible but still aggroable!) it will take damage and die, after which the owner of the pet will be killed by invisible mobs (the Chasseur or Démoniste). Aggro wiping abilities such as Feindre la mort can prevent such a death after the pet dies.
- If the above happens and the pet dies, have the Chasseur move to a different position before sending the pet up to the platform. The path that the pet takes varies depending on the starting point, and only a slight change in starting position can change the pathing drastically.
- Test the pet's position by having the Druide use Charge sauvage to ensure that there is a clear path. The pet may need to be repositioned (usually closer to the edge of the platform) to ensure the Charge sauvage can reach that spot without the Druide falling off immediately afterwards. Note that when testing this, the Druide will be instantly ported back to the start because the challenge mode hasn't been started.
  
  The Druide must be non-shapeshifted when using Charge sauvage to leap to an ally's (i.e. the pet's) position.
- Placing a raid marker on the position where the Druide should stand and where the pet should be positioned will help in future attempts.
- Start the challenge mode, ensuring that Charge sauvage will be off cooldown once the 5-second countdown finishes.
- As soon as the challenge mode starts, the Charge sauvage should Charge sauvage to the pet, and then switch to Forme de voyage and jump back down on the opposite side of the wall (where a few jars are situated).
  
  Running halfway down the stairs and jumping over the railing to where the jars are can also be done, which runs a lower risk of falling off the edge.
- With the Druide up against the wall in Forme de voyage (usually jumping up onto the jars helps with this) each party member should mount (allowing them to jump over the wall), and dismount, allowing the next person to do the same until all group members are over the wall.

TL;DR: A Druide can Charge sauvage to a pet on the first boss' platform, jump down and have party members mount (in glyphed stag form) over the wall.

METHOD #2 - Requires: Démoniste

This is a method I have seen in videos, but have not tested myself. It should still work in the current patch (6.2.3).

The Démoniste should use Cercle démoniaque and Cercle démoniaque - Téléportation to teleport to the top of the wall, and from there using Rituel d'invocation to summon all party members to the top of the wall. One designated person should not accept their summon until they have started the challenge mode.
Jump off the wall once the challenge mode has started, and continue to the first boss.

It's important not to jump off too early, or you will be ported back the beginning (on the wrong side of the wall!)

TL;DR: A Démoniste can teleport on top of the starting wall and summon party members up there, to jump over when the challenge mode starts.

Ranjit

If using the above method to skip the beginning trash, you'll want to pull the trash pack of four mobs (consisting of 4 Arakkoa de basse extraction and 1 Suzerain d’Orée-du-Ciel) with you into the boss, and cleave them down as you engage him.

A couple of boss abilities can be reflected back on to the boss, putting a DoT on him, which does massive amounts of damage! This will significantly shorten the encounter.

Abilities that work include:

Chaman - with Glyphe carbonisé

Chasseur - Dissuasion with Glyphe carbonisé

Guerrier - Renvoi de sort/

The first ability that can be reflected is the small spinning Mur de vent that the boss spawns. To do so, simply use the appropriate ability (, Dissuasion, Renvoi de sort or ) and run through the Windwall. This will put a DoT on the boss for full minute (Mur de vent) that does 100,000 damage per second on challenge mode difficulty.

When the boss enters the Quatre vents phase, the larger walls of the swirling wind can also be reflected onto the boss with any of the above abilities. This DoT (Quatre vents) does 100,000 damage per second for 12 seconds on challenge mode difficulty.

Both of these DoTs can be active on the boss at the same time, and attempts should be made to apply both for maximum damage.

Notes:

For both and Renvoi de sort/, the reflective ability prevents only a single tick of damage to the player using it; as such one should move quickly through the wind effect after activating the ability

A Chasseur, on the other hand, can pop Dissuasion and stand in the wind effect for as long as it is active, and can prevent multiple ticks of damage.
The WeakAura listed at the bottom can be helpful to indicate whether a reflective ability is active - especially important as other party members may trigger (and consume) OR .
A Chasseur can apply both Mur de vent and Quatre vents to the boss with both charges of Dissuasion. A Chaman can do the same if Rappel totémique is talented.

TL;DR: Reflect Mur de vent and Quatre vents onto the boss with appropriate class abilities.

Araknath

Tips

Switch specs from to maximize single target damage for this boss (the hardest of the instance). This may include a completely different class specialization, or simply different talents/glyphs.

Remember that you cannot change glyphs/talents during a challenge mode, but can switch between specs with certain talents/glyphs already selected.

Rotate personal cooldowns when soaking Dynamiser, especially when Explosion is imminent (it has a 2.5 second cast, allowing you to anticipate it).
It is advisable to use Furie sanguinaire/Héroïsme/Distorsion temporelle for this boss, especially if you are able to the shorten the first boss encounter with the aforementioned tips.

Rukhran

Tips

It's advisable to jump off the platform and suicide after defeating Rukhran (assuming you used Furie sanguinaire/Héroïsme/Distorsion temporelle on Araknath, and still have Rassasié/Epuisement/Déplacement temporel). This will allow you to use it again on Grand sage Viryx.

Only after killing Rukhran does a checkpoint activate - from this point on, releasing after dying will put you at Araknath's encounter area, allowing you to run back more easily.

Grand sage Viryx

Tips

Any hard CC effective against mechanical units can be used on Assemblage-bouclier d’Orée-du-Ciel (e.g. ), allowing it to be completely ignored while CC'ed.

Note that multiple Assemblage-bouclier d’Orée-du-Ciels will spawn during the encounter, and these will need to be managed. Refreshing the CC may be required on the original construct.

When a Zélote solaire spawns, there is a short delay after it picks a target (the target is announced by boss mods like DBM) before it picks said player up. The player in question can move closer to the center of the platform in this time, allowing more time to DPS the zealot before it reaches the edge.
An advanced trick to use is to ranged stun the Zélote solaire before it has picked up its target, thus preventing it from ever picking anyone up! The add can then be ignored, allowing more boss DPS.

Some abilities that potentially work for this include:

Chevalier de la mort: Asphyxier
Guerrier: Éclair de tempête
Paladin:

Below is a macro that can be used when a Zélote solaire spawns to stun it (substitute any appropriate ability for Asphyxier):

#showtooltip Asphyxiate
/target Solar Zealot
/cast Asphyxiate
/targetlasttarget

The boss ability Explosion solaire can be copied and used via Sombre simulacre, or reflected with Renvoi de sort/ (and potentially other similar abilities).

General Tips

When passing through the wind gauntlet after Rukhran, a Druide with Forme de voyage (and Glyphe carbonisé) can carry someone through who may have a difficult time.
An advanced trick to skip much of the wind gauntlet altogether is to go up the stairs at the beginning, and then jump off and use a Kit de planeur gobelin or Planeur gobelin Engineering tinker to turn left around the barrier onto the bird head jutting from the bottom of the platform. You can then climb onto the platform and move up the final stairs.

Here is a video, courtesy of DarkMech TV, that demonstrates this.

Whenever planning to skip trash with Potion d'invisibilité draenique/Potion d'invisibilité keep in mind that Corbeau de l'effroi mobs can detect invisibility, and cannot be skipped this way!

Below I've listed a WeakAura string that can be used to notify you when is active. It can be modified for use with other spells.

To use it, you need to install the WeakAuras 2 addon, then do the following:

Type /wa in chat to open the WeakAura interface
Click New, then select Import
Copy the text in the following code box and paste it into the WeakAura import field, then click Done
Click the "Import" button on the confirmation in the middle of the screen to add the aura

To modify the aura to work for a buff like Dissuasion or Renvoi de sort, do the following:

Select the "Trigger" tab
Change the "Type" to Aura
In the "Aura Name or ID" box, type the name of the buff (e.g. Renvoi de sort de masse) and click "Okay"
Make sure the "Unit" dropdown shows "Player, and the "Aura Type" is "Buff"
