Note that the Fractal “Numbers” (such as volcanic being “1”) have shifted with the addition of Sunqua, but all other information in this guide is still accurate. Recent additions (such as Sunqua and Silent Surf) have their own vids below!
For those who want more challenge and more reward, this is a guide to the challenge mode of the Nightmare Fractal in tier 4. A few mechanics have increased in difficulty, but every boss can drop mystic coins and other highly desired bonus loot!
Shattered Observatory
For those who want more challenge and more reward, this is a guide to the challenge mode of the Shattered Observatory Fractal in tier 4. A few mechanics have increased in difficulty, but every boss can drop mystic coins and other highly desired bonus loot! This one is a noticeable step up from Nightmare CM so I recommend doing that one first!
Sunqua Peak
For those who want more challenge and more reward, this is a guide to the challenge mode of the Sunqua Peak Fractal in tier 4. This fractal is ONE very challenging boss fight. If you can defeat her you will get all the fractals loot at once.
If you play ranger this is a build I personally love to run in fractals. It does a combination of power and condition damage and is still viable today.
This build doesn’t provide much in the way of boons but refuses to let allies die. Can be used to hard carry groups if someone else provides the buffs.
