Well, if you thought some of Rextroys "special" videos were sometimes a little boring and repetitive... you ain't seen nothin' yet. In one of the longest and probably most insane attempts ever, he's decided to spend 16.5 hours downing MOTHER using only Corruption and the power of jumping. The whole thing took this long since he's overlooked the fact that armor decays naturally while you're in combat, and so his gear lasted a mere 8 hours, making him finish out the fight almost fully red (minus the weapons). As usual, he reported the bug to Blizzard before posting the video, but as he mentions himself, it's very hard to get her to bug out like that and he's not even sure how he did it.

Obviously the interesting parts are the actual pull and positioning, which is literally 99% of the kill, and the kill itself at the end.

That was honestly quite painful... I should have geared my Warlock a bit beforehand to make the battle less... Drawn out. The plan was originally to be done in 12 hours, however I didn't actually know that armor took a passive durability lose by just being in combat, thought it was only by damage taken (and deaths ofcourse).

Tactics / Whats going on!?
There was / is a way to get MOTHER to go into "evade" mode, but still not despawn. I actually dont know exactly how to do this. What was the thing that causes it to happen. Out of like 30-50 attemps only 1-2 are "successful", otherwise she keeps reseting after 20 seconds. I had a lot of theories why she sometimes doesn't reset. Some was positioning, other was timing when she targeted you. But feels like everytime I got a successful attempt, my older theory got proven wrong. My best theory right now is that you have to time it right, perhaps her Sanitizing Strike usage (or wanting to use it) prevents her from reseting. Or perhaps it is also a bit about positioning (where she ends up after trying to "get to you").

Anyhow, the way the whole thing works is that there are certain plants right outside her encounter room, standing on them causes her to evade but still be able to take damage. As a Warlock we got some really good tools to manage to reach the plant while still puting up an endless Corruption dot on her. 2x pets (put on different sides of the room to buy time), Gateway and Demonic Circle teleport. You could also use potions and such for movement speed (nitro boosts etc). As I stated before, it is hard to get it right. Took me about 2 hours of attempts to get a single succesful one on my Warlock. (Had tested a bunch earlier on my DK and Pala).

Also... I should have gotten some Auto-Hammers... Oh and the reason you see me jump a lot is that one theory I have is that somekind of movement causes her to try and keep finding a "path" to you, and then not reset. I were able to stand still for about a minute when I had a toilet break so... Theory might not be true but just incase, I decided to jump a lot during the fight! (Not all the time tho)

This isn't the first time he's gone after MOTHER, either, as one of his first Uldir solos was her on normal difficulty. You can also check out some of his other videos, including Taloc Normal, Kin'garoth Normal, Atal'Dazar M+10 and, of course, the 0.5 second Vectis kill that got him banned and subsequantly unbanned, as well as our interview with him on the matter.

The only thing I cant figure out is why his gear is breaking, does it just degrade from being in combat? because as far as i know you gotta get hit.

Edit: never mind I didn't read the article text i just looked at the pretty pictures.

That just sounds like really elaborate bug abuse.

hard to be elaborate when you have absolutely no idea what is truly going on with the bug. 
and 'abuse', again, is pretty tough when he told mama blizz about it before hand.  Again.

      By Starym
      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Weekly Awakened Cache Drops Item Level 250 Gear for Some
      By Stan
      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      War Within Pre-Patch Mythic+ DPS, Tank and Healer Log Rankings: Week 2
      By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix Characters Will Transfer with a Gear Boost
      By Stan
      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
