Demonslayers in WoW are simply unstoppable. Now, one has even mastered the Mythic +20 threshold – and took over 10 hours to do so.
Just a few days ago, we reported on a demon hunter who completed the Freeport at the difficulty of Mythic +17. But this wasn’t the end of the line, apparently. Because another demon hunter has now raised the bar even higher. Instead of just completing a +18 or +19 key, he went for the full 20.
What happened? The YouTube channel of the user Enigma has uploaded a video. There, you can see his demon hunter Esanara tackling a mythic dungeon – completely alone. The difficulty is set to level 20 – a level at which even well-coordinated groups struggle significantly.
The video mainly showcases the boss fights. The various battles against most trash mobs are not shown, but they likely wouldn’t be that interesting as they all play out rather similarly.
The whole run took 11 hours and 22 minutes – almost half a day. However, Esanara also took several breaks, for example against the boss Rezan. After multiple wipes in fights lasting over 20 minutes, a little distraction was in order. Overall, Esanara died between 30 and 45 times to Rezan – clearly the most difficult boss. The final boss Yazma, however, was defeated by the demon hunter immediately on the first attempt.
How did Esanara do it? On one hand, Esanara has a fairly solid gear with item level 474, on the other hand, a variety of Corruption effects. These must be used before they disappear soon. Most of them provide a bonus to versatility, which currently makes tanks – and demon hunters in particular – especially strong. This value not only increases the damage dealt but also the damage taken by set percentages.
Occasionally, Esanara swaps out pieces of gear for other effects, such as Shadow Ravage. This can often reduce the fight duration, as the “Shadow Laser” deals a lot of damage.
Additionally, demon hunters already have massive self-healing and can stay alive for a long time – even without a healer on their back.
What do you think of this achievement? Impressive and cool? Or a waste of time?
