World of Warcraft Legion Remix is easy. Actually. But one boss suddenly causes problems and requires some strategy.
In World of Warcraft, many players are still in Legion Remix. Here, you can experience the old content of the Legion expansion once again and unlock numerous rewards. However, most have gotten used to it running smoothly. But one boss is currently ruining the plans of thousands of characters. As suddenly, you have to play mechanics.
Which boss is causing problems? We’re talking about Kil’Jaeden, the final boss in the Tomb of Sargeras. Because even if your character wears equipment with item level 740 and has already reached the maximum of 999% versatility, Kil’Jaeden can still easily end the fight. The purple orbs falling from the sky bring swift death. This is unusual in Legion Remix, where you can usually overcome nearly every challenge simply by “more power” without having to pay attention to game mechanics.

For many who visit Kil’Jaeden and have become accustomed to the “rush through” mentality of Remix, there is then a rude awakening. Because raid groups of 20 characters have significantly shrunk after a few seconds. This is also reflected in the memes currently circulating in the WoW subreddit:
Why is it so hard to survive the attack? The problem with the purple orbs is that they trigger a strong “knockback” effect upon hitting the platform. If you’re standing in the wrong spot, you’ll be knocked off the platform and land in the fel energies powering the Legion ship – resulting in instant death. No amount of versatility can help here.
Depending on the difficulty, the knockback is stronger or weaker. Especially on Mythic difficulty, you can be thrown over 40 meters, almost the entire length of the platform. And as if that wasn’t exhausting enough, several of the “push orbs” fall to the ground in quick succession.
By the way, demon hunters (or Dracthyr) are exempted from this “problem”. Because they can simply press the spacebar during every knockback from Kil’Jaeden to activate their “gliding”. This cancels the knockback and allows the character to glide gently forward again. At least if you don’t forget to do this in the heat of battle. But this is also the reason why demon hunters are considered one of the 3 best starter classes in WoW.
