Sanctum of Domination Raid Boss 1-Shot Kill With 245000% Damage Boost

Recommended Posts

Well, it's time for some truly spectacular raid boss action, as Rextroy has a really special one for us today! And this isn't some older boss either, or even one of the first few - no, we're getting the Remnant of Ner'zhul, the 4th/5th out of 10 bosses in the current raid!

With Rextroy you might expect a lot of crazy interactions going on, but this time it's a pretty "simple one", a 245,000% damage boost he managed to find while looking for another PvP 1-shot. A pretty big bug with the Insatiable Hunger Insatiable Hunger DK legendary makes it all possible, as it allows you to stack its damage buff infinitely - or at least it did as it's already been fixed. It still took quite a bit of work to get an actual raid boss down, however, requiring using Proving Grounds to make the buff stack faster, and spending 5-6 hours getting the numbers high enough (even with a special haste set designed to gather Runic Power as fast as possible), with any mistake meaning having to start from the start. But in the end it was all worth it to see a current 4th/5th raid boss instantly die!

Poor Ner'zhul - hasn't he been through enough already? If you're just looking for the fateful moment, it's at 7:28.

And here's the full explanation:

Background: This is probably one of the most broken bugs I have discovered, atleast recently... It is a bug with Insatiable Hunger Insatiable Hunger, the Venthyr legendary for Death Knights.

This legendary makes your Swarming Mist Swarming Mist explode at the end, for damage depending on how much runic power you spent while it was active. A thing I discovered after playing around with it, is that if you remove the legendary before Swarming Mist Swarming Mist expires, the explosion never happens. But you will keep the damage buff on the ability. This means you can stack up the damage, and delay the explosion until you want it to go off!

I wanted to do it against a raid boss, but it would take a very long time to stack it up (8-10 hours) even if I used benefits such as the Overflowing Chalice Overflowing Chalice. I ultimately decided to go for it, and went into Proving Grounds since it is the perfect location where I can be alone (so no one interferes). I can also reset all my cooldowns on demand, which speeds up the process considerably! I had a specific haste set to stack it up as efficient as possible against the bronze DPS challenge. The time I stacked was about 5-6 hours total.

It was quite horrifying since a single mistake of being being too slow to unequip the legendary, or server lag, or random stuck in combat bug, would make it explode and all progress would be lost! I had some additional DMG modifers such as Fatal Flaw Fatal Flaw that I played around, but ultimately I didn't need it since the DMG was 25% overkill. I had some friends join me to help with the trash mobs! I also had them battle the boss, just incase I needed the additional DMG boost from DH 5% magic debuff, or blessing of summer.

If you wonder if it was soloable? It definitely was, I could use a cancelaura macro to make it explode instantly, like I did against my friend CarlosMatos in a duel!

Important note: The bug is fixed, reported it right after one shotting the boss and it was solved surprisingly fast Special thanks to everyone for helping me out!

Yeah...by this point, I would expect the developers have a special DBM addon for Rextroy reports. 😜

      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.

      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.

      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 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.
