Paladin Rextroy has once again broken the boundaries of World of Warcraft. He defeated a current raid boss in less than one second.
We have reported on Paladin Rextroy several times on MeinMMO. He soloed the worldbreaker Garothi. Again and again, he showcases particularly cool combinations of gameplay mechanics that allow for solo kills of raid bosses.
A few days ago, he also killed Vectis, a current raid boss from Uldir – and he needed less than one second for it!
How does the kill work? The majority of the video is preparation. For this, Rextroy had to pull a specific Hozen into the Fort Daelin camp. For some reason, the Hozen does not take damage from the guards, allowing Rextroy to drag the Hozen through the entire camp and gather more and more guards. The guards cast a battle shout every few seconds that increases the damage of allied units by 50% – this also applies to players and is stackable!
Thus, Rextroy gathers more and more guards until he has the appropriate buff on him several dozens of times. Once enough of the buffs are active simultaneously, he has a warlock summon him into the raid, as he has only a short window of a few seconds.
Rextroy doesn’t need any more than that, as after less than one second, the boss is on the ground.
Most recently, Rextroy defeated the MOTHER solo.
Blizzard was warned: After Rextroy records his videos, he immediately contacts Blizzard and reveals what kind of error he has found. This gives Blizzard enough time to fix the error before the video goes live on YouTube. The errors or exploitable gameplay mechanics he finds are always reported promptly.
Banned and free again: Rextroy was banned for a month after his last video, and some players found that justified. However, the ban was lifted after just a few hours. Apparently, there was a communication problem between Blizzard US and Blizzard EU.
Rextroy is already looking for new mechanics that he can use to achieve particularly absurd accomplishments. It’s only a matter of time until he finds something again …
What do you think of this achievement? A brilliant idea and a cool detail that he found? Or should someone like this be banned permanently?
