wow MOTHER Normal World First Solo by Rextroy

[Starym 3,800]

 

Well that was fast. Week 2 of Uldir and we already have a solo kill! Of course it was none other than Rextroy, who also took down Kin'garoth , taking 7 hours to do so! A pretty damn impressive World First, especially considering Uldir's second reset isn't even over yet!

This time around the trick is a bit of an unintended interaction between a Prot Pala talent, Last Defender and some imported maggots/a debuff from Waycrest Manor. Whit enough patience and some transportation to Uldir, you stack up enough maggots with the debuff from the Manor to make  Last Defender carry you through the fight! It only took around 10 minutes to actually down the boss, but the preparations took quite a bit longer.

Here's the video and Rextroy's full explanation of the tactics involved below.

Took awhile to finally get an Uldir boss down, been attempting Taloc for few days and Mother today. Issues with Taloc is mainly DC issues.

Uldir Vantus Rune (Including other consumables)

Important talents:
Last Defender
Crusader's Judgment

Tactics:
Preparations:
You might wonder were all these worms came from... Well they are from the amazing dungeon Waycrest Manor.

You might wonder "how could you possibly get those into Uldir?"

First you need to get infected by the Devouring Maggots in Waycrest on Heroic or Mythic difficulty. The infected debuff causes worms to spawn, with a chance to be infectious on their own. You are able to bring the debuff outside of the dungeon, wherever you want! You spawn 2 worms from the debuff, the chance to spawn an infectious is about 50%. With luck this chain will keep going until you able to stack up loads. However you might lose all the infectious ones and then you have to gather new ones.

Second thing, how to actually bring them to Uldir is by either having your HS set near the raid and slowly bring the debuff to the raid. Or having people summoning you there. Warlock is the best since it brings you directly inside, but using sum stone outside works too!

Then you keep trying to stack up the worms into huge groups until you have enough to challenge the boss! Be careful not to have too many worms since it might cause a crash. However since the worms are silenced inside the boss encounter area, the chance of this happening is lower than at other locations / encounters.

Tactics for boss:
The boss itself aint too difficult after you prepared, however it is still a gear check and attention check. Mother got quite a lot of HP, so you need to maximize your efficiency to bring her down before the room is covered in flames (with enough adds it might be survivable however...)

The adds grant you loads of Judgments and auto hits, Judgment deals lots of damage in BFA. Which is great for our DPS. Aswell as Last Defender boosting it by 95-100%. Use your Spellwarding to survive inside the room when it is filled with flames for a bit longer, to push some additional damage.

You do not have to worry about most other mechanics, since they are survivable with Last Defender... However it is very important that you move the adds out of Sanitizing Strike, it actually KILLS your worms (very rare for enemy NPCs to be able to kill eachother). Guess MOTHER is really good at.... sanitizing!

Special thanks to everyone that assisted me in gathering up worms!
Especially Warlady and Heavensroar (that took awhile, didn't it!?)

That's some out of the box thinking. Use a debuff that causes worms to burst out of your body, in order to take advantage of the stacking damage reduction from the Protection Paladin talent, which is otherwise mainly useful in M+. Seems like it could be applied to a lot of the encounters, but what a pain to have to drag all those worms around and not die/lose them to a "helpful" player.

*Waits for a 20 man mythic kill with 18 infected Prot Pala's and 2 healers* 

Method...get on it! Quick.

Just spotted this in the hofixes for today -  they capped last defender damage reduction at 50%. Clearly a response to this!!
