A WoW Demon Hunter has managed to complete “Mythic +17” solo. It only took nearly 7 hours – that requires quite a bit of endurance.
In World of Warcraft, boredom is currently rampant, as many players are eagerly awaiting the new expansion Shadowlands. However, those who aren’t offering sell-runs in the group finder to earn gold might be taking on special solo challenges. The Demon Hunter Iway did just that and “casually” completed a Mythic dungeon – at level +17.
What happened? The Demon Hunter Iway has released a nearly 30-minute YouTube video. It shows him completing the dungeon Freehold at the difficulty M+17. This is a level at which many players reach their limits even with a regular group, but Iway wanted to do it solo.
In fact, dungeons at the Mythic+ difficulty generally require a full group, especially from level +10 onwards. New mechanics are introduced here, and bosses and trash mobs last significantly longer. This accounts for the quite impressive time of 6 hours and 47 minutes.
The video actually only shows the most exciting parts, being a compilation of the bosses and minibosses. The fights against trash mobs were deliberately cut out.
How is this possible? Iway was able to achieve this due to comparatively easy affixes, with which he had hardly any problems. Blood creates puddles on the ground that heal enemies and damage players – as a Demon Hunter, it’s easy to avoid that. Quaking poses no threat, and fortified only slightly increases the health and damage of the trash mobs.
The fact that Iway plays a Vengeance Demon Hunter is likely the biggest factor. Demon Hunters are not only quite sturdy tanks, but they can also sustain themselves for long periods due to massive self-healing and, with proper gameplay, often exist without a healer. That’s why Cortyn enjoys playing Demon Hunter so much. However, the damage as a tank is not quite outstanding, but here too corruption effects like the Twilight Devastation help.
57 deaths before victory: However, it didn’t go without deaths. In total, the Demon Hunter died 57 times. Alone, 30 of those deaths were attributed to the second boss, the two pirate leaders. There were 10 more deaths during the Blood of the Corruptor – one of the additional minibosses that appear at a difficulty of Mythic+10.
Even in WoW Classic, many achievements are currently being pursued – such as the victory over Onyxia, completely naked…
What do you think of this achievement? Impressive endurance and quite a cool success? Or a waste of time and pointless?
