Rextroy is raging again in World of Warcraft. This time he kills players while being invisible. The enemies have no idea what is happening to them.
It has become a constant in World of Warcraft. Almost every week, the player Rextroy finds new ways to exploit the mechanics of the MMORPG, allowing for funny or absurd combinations of abilities. Usually, he sends a boss in a raid or players in the open world to their virtual graves in a fraction of a second. And this time is no different. The special thing? The enemies have no idea what is happening to them. Because Rextroy is in stealth the entire time during the action.
What is there to see? In his latest video, Rextroy plays a Druid. The video shows how he approaches enemies in stealth and waits for a brief moment. Seemingly without any input from him, the enemies just fall over. This causes quite a bit of confusion and puzzled faces, wondering what actually just happened – even though some Horde players already suspect they are part of Rextroy’s latest video.
How does it work? Basically, two factors come into play with this trick. One is the PvP scaling, which again causes absurd damage increases. The other is the Null Barrier, an Azerite essence of the “Heart of Azeroth”. The Null Barrier absorbs a large amount of damage. Once the barrier expires or is completely used up, it explodes for the damage it has absorbed.
To make this work, he generates a high Corruption value on himself and engages in the battle with a toad that was already important in this video. Together with the Sulfuron water from the Blackrock Depths, he triggers the “thing from the beyond”, which deals enough damage to almost completely destroy the barrier.
Afterward, he switches to low-level gear. This activates the PvP scaling and increases the damage of the Null Barrier. Stealth is activated and then he quickly sprints to an enemy before it simply bursts.
But the players are not level 120! Yes, they are. Due to the alcohol effect of Sulfuron water, the enemy character levels are displayed a little lower than they actually are. This is a side effect of alcohol in World of Warcraft, which, however, has no impact on the damage of the characters – it is purely a visual effect.
What do you think of the video? A cool idea and once again a creative way to troll other players? Or is it just annoying and it should finally disappear with the Corruption from the game?
Recently, Rextroy proved that even a level 20 player can easily destroy great heroes at level 120 – we can be curious about what he will come up with next.
