A warlock remarkably demonstrates which class in WoW is currently the most powerful. He defeats the final boss Xavius single-handedly – and by a very narrow margin.
In the past, we reported on the warlock Lockoclock from World of Warcraft, who defeated the world-breaker of the Garothi using a rather bad tactic. Now he is back and proves that he is also ahead in “real” fights.
Actually, the fight against Xavius in the Emerald Nightmare is designed for at least 10 players – but anyone can do that! Only together with his companions does Lockoclock face the final boss of the first Legion raid and shows the satyr who’s the boss.
High item level and special legendaries were mandatory
Anyone looking to recreate this should acquire good equipment. Lockoclock had an average item level of 958 and 79 points in his artifact weapon. The two legendaries were also crucial, namely Prydaz, Xavaric’s Magnum Opus (for an additional shield) and the ring Soul of the Netherlord. The ring allows for an additional talent, ensuring that Lockoclock can deal around 165 million damage in the last 20 seconds of the fight.
The biggest challenge in the fight against Xavius lies in the corruption mechanic. Normally, the corruption is absorbed and distributed by multiple players. Once a player reaches maximum corruption, they become very powerful for a short period and deal more damage before Xavius takes control and that player is considered lost.
However, Lockoclock takes advantage of this mechanic until the very last second. If the fight had been just 0.6 seconds longer, he would have been trapped in mind control and lost the fight.
The biggest difficulty in the fight was the corruption meteor, which deals 5 million damage. Thanks to Prydaz and Soulstealer, Lockoclock manages to easily survive this mechanic.
What do you think of this kill? A cool move that requires a lot of determination? Or a clear sign that bosses in Legion are way too easy?
