A shaman has defeated the current raid boss Drest’agath in World of Warcraft with an attack. He has utilized a cool mechanic.
In the meantime, it has almost become a weekly ritual. However, the streamer Rextroy, who otherwise kills enemies naked in PvP or blows up ghouls, has done it once again and defeated a boss in Ny’alotha with a single blow. This time he was playing as an enhancement shaman and picked Drest’agath, whom he extinguished with just one attack.
What did Rextroy do? Rextroy, in the form of his shaman Xodon, defeated the current raid boss “Drest’agath” with just one attack. He is teleported into the raid by his friends and unleashes an attack that deals a whopping 39 million damage points. Thus, Drest’agath is defeated in the blink of an eye, and the fight is considered mastered.
How does it work? Rextroy has once again made use of an apparently unlimited mechanic in the game. He used the spell “Raging Storms.” Every enemy hit by the attack increases the damage of the next Stormstrike by 5%. Since there is no limitation on this bonus – except that it expires after a few seconds – Rextroy was able to stack the buff many times.
He achieves a damage bonus of over 1700% and further increases it through suitable Azerite abilities, potions, and elixirs. After he has spawned enough adds at the first boss in the dungeon “The Stone Core”, he kills all of them with “Raging Storms” and is immediately teleported to the raid Ny’alotha. The result of that can be seen in the video above.
By the way, it didn’t work out for Rextroy on the first try and was quite lengthy. It takes several hours for the boss to spawn enough adds. You can also see the failed attempts in the video above.
Can this be replicated? No, it is no longer possible. As usual, Rextroy always informs the developers at Blizzard when he finds such exploits. Only after he has obtained the “okay” from Blizzard does he publish his videos. In general, the developers have already fixed such exploits with a hotfix. In this case, the damage from Stormstrike can only be increased by a maximum of 75% now.
What do you think of Rextroy’s ongoing escapades? Should he finally get an NPC in the game? Or does he rather deserve a ban for these actions?
