wow Rextroy One-Shots His Way to 2,5K MMR in Arena with 27x Infinite Stars

[Stan 5,022]

It's been a while since we last heard of Rextroy, and that's because he had to farm 90,000 Echoes of Ny'alotha to obtain enough Infinite Stars to gather 675 Corruption (before Resistance) and one-shot enemies in Arenas.

In the latest video, Rextroy explains how powerful 27 Infinite Stars can be in Arenas and why Protection Paladin is a really good choice for this method since the class has so many immunities, as the 495% damage taken increase makes you extremely squishy.

This Infinite Stars procs may not one-shot players with some sort of defensives up, but it should still deal damage equal to 80-90% of their health. Pets add an additional layer of RNG because Infinite Stars procs at random targets.

A few words from the man himself:

Background:

The way to grind all the echoes needed is definitely 3v3 without a healer. A good rate is about 1k echoes an hour.

You might want to check the Auction House aswell for BOEs with Infinite Stars.

The reason Protection is so solid with this is because we have a lot of immunities, which makes us able to survive the 495% damage taken increase from Corruption. We have Divine Shield , aswell as 2x Guardian of the Forgotten Queen when we use the essence Touch of the Everlasting . Sometimes we are also able to live long enough to use Blessing of Spellwarding .

We want to stack Haste and Versatility. During Seraphim and trinket I have about 48% Versatility and 42% haste. On average 80% of my Arenas lead to a proc of Infinite Stars. With that said, if the enemy got somekind of defensive up and the stars doesn't crit, it might not one shot them (only do 80-90% of their HP).

Pets are also an issue, since the Infinite stars hit random targets. This makes each pet add an additional layer of RNG.

I would suggest you queue with teammates that are good at 1v1, since you are really squishy and can't heal yourself. (A healer can easily 2 shot you).

Also, a red transmog can help to conceal the amount of Corruption you have, since some people doesn't check your debuffs at the start of the Arena and might not target you.

Now, here's Rextroy with 675 Corruption, 495% increased damage taken and 27x Infinite Stars in action!

Not quite sure why people just didnt cc the prot pet when Guardian of the Forgotten Queen was active. IF you do that you cancell out the dmg reduction that pet provides.

I'm sure there are times that happened that weren't included in the video, but it should be observed that this was done in Alterac Valley, plenty of people that won't think/know to do that.

I agree with the first part, but where in the video do you see Alterac Valley?
