I believe that the difficulty of the Ascended Realms on Champion (160ilvl) and Nightmare (220ilvl) are still balanced around the previous patch where gear could easily get into the 200s. This isn't a problem with the Storied Realms, but particularly when you get to Nightmare Ascended realms I don't see how we'll be able to fight 220ilvl mobs when our gear, when fully maxed, is maybe 130, 140ilvl with far less stats than pre-update
