A paladin is already getting bored in WoW Shadowlands. He is doing a mythic dungeon solo.
World of Warcraft Shadowlands has only been released for about 2 weeks and many players are still running around in blue gear that is anything but good. Not surprisingly – after all, most players are currently engaged in heroic dungeons and are just starting to check out the mythic dungeons.
A paladin can only smile tiredly about this, as he is already completing his first mythic dungeon solo. This time it’s about the exceptional paladin Rextroy.
What has he done? As a protection paladin, Rextroy has plunged into the Theater of Pain – on mythic difficulty. This is currently the toughest challenge WoW players can experience in Shadowlands. Normally, this dungeon requires a group of 5 players, who at least have somewhat decent gear.
The whole “run” took several hours, as Rextroy had to come up with various strategies for the bosses and trash groups. Those interested in all the details of the fights can watch the entire run here. In about 15 minutes, Rextroy explains the most difficult mechanics and toughest groups – and how he mastered them as a paladin. This was possible primarily because paladins can self-heal as a tank with massive self-healing abilities. Nevertheless, it required many tricks to avoid the constant stun from the first boss, for example.
Who is Rextroy? The player Rextroy has made a name for himself in the WoW community over the past few years. For a while now, he has been trying to fully exploit the game mechanics to tackle seemingly impossible challenges solo. Sometimes these are current raid bosses, which he defeats with a single attack or a flawed mechanic with which he can even kill players completely naked in PvP – sometimes he doesn’t even have to get off his mount to do so. With the release of Shadowlands, PvP scaling has mostly been abolished, which is why he is now focusing more on PvE mechanics.
Is there more to come for the players? New challenges are expected for Rextroy next Wednesday. Because then the first season of Shadowlands starts, and the “Mythic+” difficulty for dungeons will open. At the same time, the ranked PvP season will also start, and the raid Castle Nathria will open its gates. Then, Rextroy should have new goals again, so he can continue to chase his ambitious records in Shadowlands.
What do you think of this achievement? Impressive what Rextroy is doing again? Or somehow a waste of time?
Anyone who wants to become as good as Rextroy can be happy – the drop rates for legendary powers have been improved.
