Recommended Posts

Rextroy returns to soloing, this time on very current content as he takes down King Mechagon in... well, Operation: Mechagon, obviously. We also get a mini guide as to how he did it and what to look out for. He's at 418 item level and using Vision of Perfection major with Nullification Dynamo minor.

Special thanks to my Patreon supporter! Lightfang - Elune (US servers) This boss was rather interesting but not all too hard after you gotten the movement rotation set

Ilvl: 418 Essence: Vision of Perfection (major), Nullification Dynamo (minor)

Tactics: Funny enough, my initial plan was to use the workshop guards to provide a defensive barrier during the encounter. This would provide me a 75% damage reduction with about 75% uptime. Was really helpful to get past phase 1. However because of knockbacks and the hard hitting dot on phase 2 (with triple beams on me), aswell as the guard themselves putting debuffs and damaging me. I would have issues staying alive during the bubbles downtime... or geting unluckily thrown out. So I decided to attempt without the guards and had a much better success, aswell as a special trick in phase 2 to survive the stacking giga-zap debuffs.

Phase 1: For this phase, you want to keep casting Flash of Light quite often to really maximize your healing. Try to time your insta-full HP hand of the protectors so that you are low HP when using them. When the boss recalibrate the orbs, or flies up. You get precious time to recover your HP. Thanks to Holy Shield, and protection paladins great magic defense and healing. Phase 1 ain't too difficult

Phase 2: The most important thing on this phase is movement and timing. The most important thing to keep track of is Giga-Zap. It is an ability he will use three times on you, stacking up a hard hitting dot and most likely one shotting you at the last cast unless you got a defensive up... Unless you were to ignore the mechanic altogether When he uses his Giga-zap ability you should run behind the pillars at the side of the encounter. You are just able to line of sight him, which makes him stop casting the zaps. You should stay there for a duration, so he can finish going through his "giga-zap sequence". If you just line of sight one of them, and then go straight out you will most likely be hit by 2 zaps, which is still quite dangerous.

The time you should line of sight depends on if you were able to avoid the first one or if you were hit. I personally waited about 4 seconds before going back out. If you are too slow back into his meele range, he will initial protocol 99, which deals about 200k damage each cast. You need to get the timing down The other issue is the orbs during the encounter. They will periodically jump towards you. Sometimes you will be unlucky and they might jump to you when you are line of sighting the boss.

You should try calculate and get a feel for when the orbs will do their next jump. You would rather take 1 giga zap and be free to LOS, than to avoid it and then get blasted by 4+ orbs onto you. Use a defensive CD if you feel like the situation might be tough. When he does his magneto arm, you could use that time to freely heal yourself / recover your CDs.

The encounter itself took a while (30 minutes)... quite a lot of HP to work through!

Impressive as always, well done Rex.

 

Only did it myself in a group last night, and whilst it's suitably hard, it wasn't as bad as I thought given all the stress from groups expecting exp and uber ilvl's (not for HM either...)

Well ppl also want 415 gear for a +5 key, even though you can do it with 385. Skill is really low in the community and it needs to be compensated with gear it seems ?

That's not a lie... Did a +2 Shrine with 2 DH's that didn't know they had an interrupt... That was painful

 

Mages not knowing spellsteal, or priests with dispel, hell even druids with Soothe for enrage week...

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.

      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
