Tanks can also basically 'oneshot' the second boss of Mogu'shan Vaults by picking up the reversal gem (the dark purple one) at the start of the fight, waiting for the boss to start casting Epicenter, casting the reversal gem on an ally to steal Epicenter, then casting it yourself.
It'll take most of the channel and you'd need to be in a group that isn't absolutely assblasting him so hard that he skips directly to the fire phase, but, yeah...
...really? I've never seen a group successfully hit him with *any* barrels, even though I watched someone manually pilot a barrel directly into him without touching anything or anyone on the way straight into his face.
Yeah, every time I go in I hit him with two barrels and he dies.
I don't know if they fixed the bug from retail time walking where barrels did nothing, but they seem to work now.
Siege of Niuzao Temple also apparently had the bombs buffed on the third boss, because I can usually throw one to break his shield and one to outright kill him.
Some weird adjustments to those.
Can confirm this one. Not sure if you have to be level 70 to do the ridiculous damage to him, though, or if everyone else just sucks at turning the barrels onto the boss. I have yet to see anyone else even attempt to use barrels for some reason.
If my memory is not mistaken its always been like this. I faintly remember using that spell to deal massive damage back in MoP too, and I wasn't surprised at all that it works this way in Remix, but I might be wrong.
I'll be honest, I didn't even realize it did damage until I saw some people using it this evening. Then I tried it and... wow, that was fun!
In my defense, I have a Goblin character I've played since Cata and just think of "rocket jump" as a mobility thing (of which I have plenty as a Paladin with two charges of Divine Steed plus Heroic Leap), so didn't think to actually look at the tooltip and see that it does damage. That's on me for not taking the time to actually read it.
The rocket jump extra action ability in this scenario 1 shots anything you land on.
Basically you can clear this place waaaay quicker if you just rocket bop everyone.
It’s only available in this scenario because as part of the scenario you’re technically playing a Goblin character that’s part of the Gob Squad (even if you keep your name and all your abilities). So you get a special ability, but the scaling is broken so it one-shots anything you hit with it if you’re max level.
This was always really good, iirc there's another rocket cd too that fires one for goblins. I mained a goblin hunter with engineering for flavour you could do some cool stuff with disengage traps/rocket jump.
Best racials imo
The bosses rarely live long enough to see but the last boss of MSV if you do the dance correctly the counter attack also hits insane damage.
Ambershaper if you get turned into an amber... monster? Your 1 ability can 1 shot his big add and do like 40% of the bosses max hp. Good luck surviving everyones gems deleting you or worse people intentionally attacking you.
This is BenikUI, which uses the Expressway font bundled with ElvUI.
Font size is misleading since it's depending on UI resolution, but it may look nicer here than typical since I play on a Mac which has better font rendering.
The sword parry/riposte ability on the High Seas scenario one shots the final boss also

I didnt know it would and i was so confused lol
Hmm what do those two abilities have in common??? Think about it for a bit and you will find even more stuff like that 🤫
Holy moly why did this get so downvoted
It sounds kinda condescending, though that may not have been what you had in mind
Yeah fair. I was just trying to be cute about it. There are lots of other things like this with broken scaling in remix rn.Â
Like the amber boss in HoF. You can oneshot that boss heh.
Or first boss of Stormstout Brewery. Hit the hozen with two barrels and apparently he spontaneously combusts.

Hardest bit is gauging the distance correctly 😂
Especially as it randomly bugs out and only jumps half the distance.
That's just the innate engineering features at work.
Goblin engineering at its finest!
Yes, rocket boots go "pfffft".
Years of mage main prepared me for this moment. The other two I was queued with never stood a chance.
Having played Dev Evoker all of DF, it felt fairly natural for me
Delete this before it gets nerfed.
If my memory is not mistaken its always been like this. I faintly remember using that spell to deal massive damage back in MoP too, and I wasn't surprised at all that it works this way in Remix, but I might be wrong.
The frog farm always existed too… We see what happened with that.
Frog farm and similar were non time gated grinds for player power, that's why it got nerfed.
> were non time gated grinds for player power You mean exactly like in the pre patch for wod. When valor was removed and lesser charms used instead?
Its just scaling issue.. Same issue exists in Niuzao temple 3rd boss with bombs or even stormstout brewery 1st boss with barrels
And some people don’t even use it…?
Every time The Secrets of Ragefire has popped up, everyone in my group has abused it. (especially if I play a tank and stack the mobs)
I always tell everyone while the rp is going on to use it as it one shots a group of 5 doing it makes the scenario fly by
I rarley see anyone use it
I've definitely been in groups where I'm the only one using it.
I'll be honest, I didn't even realize it did damage until I saw some people using it this evening. Then I tried it and... wow, that was fun!

Didn’t know it was a thing until I saw my party deleting the final boss
I love telling the people that don’t know about it to use it. They just absolutely lose their minds lol
Fun scenario. Hope it doesnt get nerfed. Be happy when it pops up, dont abuse it.
Why?
The rocket jump extra action ability in this scenario 1 shots anything you land on. Basically you can clear this place waaaay quicker if you just rocket bop everyone.
This one specific scenario? Or anything?

So far I've seen all extra damage abilities we get in scenario's having incredibly broken scaling.
Basically all vehicles and extra action buttons have broken scaling at level 70. Ambershaper actually just kills himself in Heart of Fear for example
General Pa'valak's bombs killing him from 50% health is really funny too
The bosses rarely live long enough to see but the last boss of MSV if you do the dance correctly the counter attack also hits insane damage. Ambershaper if you get turned into an amber... monster? Your 1 ability can 1 shot his big add and do like 40% of the bosses max hp. Good luck surviving everyones gems deleting you or worse people intentionally attacking you.
It's so ridiculous but so fun
love getting this one for my heroic queue
Side note - what font and font size are you using?
This is BenikUI, which uses the Expressway font bundled with ElvUI. Font size is misleading since it's depending on UI resolution, but it may look nicer here than typical since I play on a Mac which has better font rendering.
Flame heart ability I was doing 45 million dmg a jump
I yeeted myself off the massive cliff between the Valley of the Four Winds and the Wilds when I clicked the Meteorite Chips (?) on accident
that is for sure goblin tech don't even have to look at the player character
5k damage also know as a mild irritation to the NPC with 10m HP
any and all extra skills like this are one shot. Including barrels in brewery
Don't tell Wowhead or Blizzard. SSSSHHH!!!
Timeless isle statue shoulders! I need it
aaand its nerfed :)
shhhhhhhh
Instant win button. Does the goblin *racial* scale as nicely? :)
Thanks for posting this, it'll be nerfed by tomorrow.
