A warlock in WoW goes raiding alone. With this trick, he manages to solo a boss!
In the last days and weeks, we have repeatedly reported on players who don’t care much about the raids of World of Warcraft. Instead of belonging to a group of 10 or even 25 players, they venture alone into the raid Antorus, the Burning Throne.
That especially tanky classes, like paladins or demon hunters, can manage this has already been shown in the past. That a clothie in the form of a warlock can also succeed, is new.
The warlock Lockoclock, or the YouTuber MrNinjaBurger shows how warlocks can also defeat the worldbreaker of Garothi, the first boss of Antorus, solo.
Exploiting the game mechanics allows for solo kill
To achieve this, however, several conditions must be met.
- The item level must be high enough to withstand the high damage.
- The talent Absolute Corruption must be chosen so that corruption has an infinite duration.
- The talent Demonic Circle must be chosen.
- The legendary Celumbra, Dichotomy of Night is necessary to receive a permanent healing.
The actual strategy is quite simple. The boss is pulled and afflicted with corruption. Afterwards, the warlock teleports himself out of the combat arena using his Demonic Circle. Outside of the reach of most abilities, he simply waits and heals himself if necessary.
Slowly but surely, the boss’s health points are ticking down. That the fight lasts in this way nearly 3 hours seems almost natural. Towards the end of the video, Lockoclock doesn’t even bother to move out of the boss’s effects anymore – he simply heals himself through it as a warlock.
What do you think of this way to defeat a boss? Cleverly exploiting the game mechanics? Or is it already an exploit that shouldn’t be used?
By the way, patch 7.3.5 is coming to World of Warcraft soon – have you seen the new hunter pets?
