Level 90 DK Solos Madness of Deathwing 10-man Normal!

GAMEBREAKER posted last week about level 80 Death Knight Aelobin soloing Heroic Baleroc 25-man, a level 85 boss, and it was so impressive that a lot of our  readers didn’t believe it was true. We do actually check out our news sources before posting, and it was a genuine kill, backed up by Aelobin’s armory data. This also reveals how he managed to become unhittable, and the changes to Vengeance explain his insane attack power!

And another DK has appeared, using these Vengeance changes to great effect. Mionelol, as a level 90 death knight, isn’t able to render herself unhittable, like Aelobin did. However, Mionelol uses DK mechanics to impressive effect, taking Deathwing down even through the enrage, just as Aelobin did with Baleroc. It’s remarkable indeed that, just five levels and a vengeance change later, characters can solo the last boss of the prior expansion, even if it’s only on 10-man normal difficulty.

Mionelol is Mionee of Auchindon EU’s Envy, one of the guilds pushing into the EU’s world first race in the recent raiding tier, so hardly an inexperienced or undergeared player, but this is very impressive indeed.

Mionelol goes even further toward proving Death Knights are insanely OP the soloing class of the moment by soloing challenge modes, not in medal time, but soling them nonetheless. Several DK soloing videos are cropping up in challenge mode dungeons, the hardest current content available for 5-mans. How long will it be before Death Knights are soling current raids?

Do Death Knights need a nerf? Does Vengeance need a nerf? Is Mionee just incredibly skilled?

    Personally this is just cool stuff.  I love videos like these popping up to showcase a player’s skill.

    I think the way Blood Death Knights play is very good, so I am against changes to their spec/class.  If there is a huge OMG concern about Blood Knights soloing old content or current, blizzard should buff the Enrage Mechanic.

    I’ve not player WoW really at all since Cata but stuff like this is to gaming what a solo performance in a grand hall is to a musician…

    much respect…

    I really liked it but couldn’t find any credits in the video. If anyone could tell me I’d be forever thankfull.

    I did like the point where he changed his talent selection before a pull.  While there are some talents everyone selects, there are a few talents where you have to select the talent that matches the pull.

      Same, I watched that too.

  • DerKomp

    Impressive, but it still won’t stop Thrall from taking all the credit.

  • Krzysztof Kotarba

    Vid above is from brewery challenge mode not deathwing.

    • Demi_God

      There is a second video if you scroll down with the deathwing kill

    DK are OP but they are OP for a reason they are the hero class blizzard designed them to be able to do things like this and its fun to watch i don’t think they need to be nerfed though why nerf something that was developed to be OP

    • HartsHope

       thats a shitty sorry excuse for a gross class imbalance…”hero class” rofl. the fact that WoW players accept that bullshit is pathetic. I know many dont, and its now a joke to whine about OP DKs since Wrath. Its almost expected and ignored because its been true for so long.. WoW is a good game but has some fucking stupid aspects that constantly made me facepalm when i played… the ridiculous racial bonus system and the horrible seesawing class balance system being the worst of it… good riddance I say

    Blood DK’s too strok

  • http://www.facebook.com/altcontroleat Boe Smith

    Whoa, someone still plays this game and adds horrid music to bad videos–cool.

  • http://www.facebook.com/altcontroleat Boe Smith

    That voice acting lols

    And I wish my UI was like that. But so lazy to set up. Welp~

    Mionee IS incredibly skilled. I challenge any people who yell “OP DK” or “Easy lol DK” to do it and make a video of it.

  • Stormy Renee

    Please do not nerf Death Knights. It takes skill to do many of these solo runs. My death knight is my favorite character to date. I’ve worked hard for 2 years to get her where she is today, with her gear, reforging, talents, spec, and so on. When someone is skilled with their character and can do incredible damage people say they are op. I don’t believe that, and I hope I will get to enjoy my Dk for years to come with out her being nerfed.

    Very cool vid. Mionee is a killer DK. I was actually getting on edge when the hp was getting low lol.

  • http://twitter.com/dularr Dularr

    Lol, the ending reminded me of my first Deathwing kill at the beginning of Dragon Soul.  Our holy pally bubbled, everyone else died and the dots killed off Deathwing.

    Just shows how trivial this game has become
