As a Death Knight, Rextroy is currently making waves in WoW. A new “one-hit combo” takes down enemies in a heartbeat.
The Paladin Rextroy has long made a name for himself in the community of World of Warcraft , after all, he slaughters numerous raid bosses solo with insane combos. Now, however, he is also slaughtering players by the dozen, as he has found a new “one-shot combo” that turns all players into mincemeat within moments. However, he is not using his Paladin for this, but a Death Knight.
What does Rextroy do? Rextroy plays an Unholy Death Knight and gathers a bunch of zombies around him. He uses the spell Reanimation, a PvP talent of the Unholy Death Knight. This summons a zombie with low health for 20 seconds, which slowly shuffles towards a target. If it reaches the target, it deals damage equal to 10% of its maximum health to it and all other nearby enemies.
Since Rextroy brings a whole dozen of these zombies, the enemies simply burst without being able to put up much of a fight. From 100 to 0 in just a few moments.
This video shows what it looks like in action:
How does the combo work? For the combo, Rextroy had to get quite creative and especially stack a lot of speed. A value of 100% is best to halve the global cooldown. This is achieved through Drumming (essentially Battle Rage) and using the essence “Memory of the Dreamer” to have enough runes available.
Then he targets “Gentlely Pressed Toad” and summons the zombies. Before the zombies reach the toad, he kills the toad, so the zombies obediently wait for a new target. Once he has accumulated 14-15 zombies like this, he has just a few seconds to mount up and find an unsuspecting enemy.
Now he just has to land on the enemy and attack him so that his zombies can do the rest.
Is this intended by Blizzard? It’s not entirely clear. Rextroy has to combine a lot of mechanics to make it work. If the enemies were more alert, they could kill the zombies and thus avoid the devastating damage. After all, each zombie has only a measly 5 hit points.
Do you think it’s cool that such a combo exists? Or do you think it shouldn’t be possible at all?
