WoW: Rextroy dismantles defenseless Hordler in groups – thanks to Magician Legendary
In WoW there are now so many different effects that unplanned synergies between them keep arising. In most cases, this is not particularly dramatic or is perhaps not even noticeable. Every now and then, however, the unwanted interaction of different bonuses and abilities ensures that the balancing is completely turned upside down or even completely broken. The WoW YouTuber Rextroy is constantly looking for exactly these effects. Not only has he knocked out countless raid bosses solo in the past thanks to various synergies, but he has also explored the edges of the virtual world and repeatedly caused a stir in PvP.
His latest campaign also falls into the latter category. But it is no longer enough for him to simply knock out individual Hordlers in front of the gates of Orgrimmar. Instead, he now takes on whole groups and sends them all together to the spirit healer in one fell swoop. He falls back on a Legendarys of magicians – and on a friendly priest.
Kill them all!
Rextroy stumbled across this synergy more by accident, as he reveals in his video. For those who prefer to watch the whole thing on video, we have video evidence of falling horde groups here. Below we explain how he did it.
The core of the trick is the Kyrian Legendary of the Mages: Harmonic Echo. This ensures that the covenant ability of the Kyrian mages is expanded to include area damage. More specifically, four surrounding players take 25 percent of the damage you fire at the primary target. But how is this 25 percent enough to kill fully equipped hordlers at maximum level?
The second trick is the one extremely popular with Rextroy Gently squeezed toad. With this you can place a toad in the world, which is nothing more than a level 1 wild animal. And since good Rextroy is a level 60 mage himself, he deals significantly increased damage to the pet. This gigantic increase in damage makes the 25 percent that surrounding targets suffer significantly more than usual.
Blizzard thinks along – and is still tricked
So far, the developers at Blizzard should have been aware of that. Because the Legendary has built in several fuses.
The area damage is only triggered when the vulnerability of Shining spark is active on the target. For this, both the Shining spark, as well as another damaging spell fall on the target. No chance of a low level opponent surviving this. Also, the splash damage doesn’t trigger if the original target dies from the damage.
So it seems like there is no way to benefit from the combination. But Rextroy wouldn’t be Rextroy if it didn’t manage to trick Blizzard developers’ intentions. So how do you manage to get a lot of damage on a critter without it dying? And this is where the priest comes in.
Thanks to the PvP ability ray of hope he can make a creature immortal for six seconds. This suffers the damage, but it only affects life points after the effect has ended. The area damage, on the other hand, hits the moment the damage hits the toad – i.e. immediately.
In practice, Rextroy (hidden in invisibility) lets go of a toad and a friendly Horde priest takes over via mind control and works ray of hope on them. At that moment, Rextroy ignites time warp and works as fast as he can Shining spark on the toad and lets a stream of Arcane Missiles fly after. The first impact carries the vulnerability up and all others kill four surrounding players.
What sounds very complicated is not that difficult in practice and more than once whole groups of hordes are lying in the dirt and wondering what actually just happened. Because honestly, would you even notice a level 1 toad appearing? And before you register what is happening, you are already standing in front of the spirit healer.
