I think planet destiny hit it on the head when they said:
Challenge mode isn't ment to be a challenge, it is BUNGiE challenging you to "kill Warpriest in this way"
Personally I like the guarenteed 320 loot but that just means that peeps are going to get burnt out that much quicker due to them being light 318-320.
No RNGed rewards = a good thing

They are challenging us to kill warpriest the exact same way thousands of players already do it? It's not a challenge to do it the normally accepted way.

There are strats out there where you only have 1 dedicated Brand holder. He stays up top on left and goes where needed to pick up the brand. He has Red Death, everyone else rocks a Spindle. (Datto does this strat from the center) Warpriest splits up the fireteam into 3 groups, so there is a pretty decent chance of being able to complete the challenge by accident because the final plate was different each damage phase. Just as Warpriest is an introduction to the Raid bosses, I think his Challenge Mode is an introduction to the remainder of the Challenge mechanics. However, the lack of a dedicated "challenge" playlist means that any changes must not prevent people from completing the fight the normal way. IMHO challenge mode should be something with a toggle, like a switch that needs to be flipped before starting the encounter, which opens up more options for the devs to make it a truly memorable fight. TL:DR - IMHO the challenge mode gives much needed rewards but is a bit of a letdown. Lets hope the other 2 are better.

Edited by JUST_AN_OLD_H3RO: 12/2/2015 1:45:51 AMWait till next week. If you have to use 6 orbs at golgoroth, then just bet barely anyone will actually get it done. Warpriest is the first boss encounter in the raid, it wasn't meant to be that has at all. Thibk about a team of average players doing warpriest, they can't kill him In 2 rush it takes them all 4. They have to have 4 different area holders. Which can be quite difficult for average players or people without a Mic to do.

Ok think about it; warpriest different people with aura, golgoroth different people holding gaze using all 6 orbs. oryx different runner every time; this challenge was probably the easiest of them all. The others will be a challenge cause when you ask who can run gaze everyone always stays quiet or be the runner.
-
Yeah Ikr. We asked hoes running gaze and everyone is quiet
-
Just cause no one does 6 orbs on golgoroth doesn't mean no one can, I'm sure tons with get it done
