There's absolutely no way this could possibly be true, the numbers don't remotely add up.
Also why is the game suddenly broken even if this is true (which it isn't)? DK's have been doing stuff on par in ridiculousness for a long time now.
What's the point in crying about it? So they can solo a world boss with nothing useful on it anymore. How does this impede your gameplay?
Really this sounds like the old invincimonks in GW xD
To the naysayyers, I haven't seen a video myself, but to allow them to survive to the vengeance points where healing and damage done are absurd, a lvl 80 with the right twink items gets some pretty crazy numbers due to scaling. Add this ontop of starting off the battle with holy avenger up, using judgement to get 3 HoPo, smashing a ShotR, taking...idk how much less damage but if mastery is as broken as I've seen before, then it definitely could be nearing 100% less damage taken, for 30ish seconds straight. by then sacred shield, seal of insight, and ShotR are just going to be all overkill
The generalist looks outward; he looks for living principles, knowing full well that such principles change, that they develop. It is to the characteristics of change itself that the mentat-generalist must look. There can be no permanent catalogue of such change, no handbook or manual. You must look at it with as few preconceptions as possible, asking yourself, "Now what is this thing doing?" -Children of Dune
Even if this were true, don't really think it would require a nerf. Not like soloing Galleon really gets you anything you couldn't easily get in any of the rare group pugs every week. The most unbelievable part is that he actually managed to solo it without heaps of people turning up and joining in lol.
Thanks, found it. Stupid advanced options!
All content gets solo'd eventualy, if this was posted a day after xpack release I would have worried. but its 3 patches into the xpack I am amazed it has not started earlier.
im more amazed that he wasnt swarmed with people the second he spawned. on my current realm, the moment galleon spawns he is ganked by at least 4 groups, and there are always people camping him.
You're not understanding; Vengeance was capped at max health so that 80s couldn't do weird things with Mastery scaling. They also changed Mastery scaling for lvl 80 and 85, in conjunction with the Vengeance cap change.
I still don't buy the Galleon solo, though we all know about the Elegon solo, which is NO LONGER POSSIBLE.
Missed the video, wasn't up earlier. Will look at it.

Interesting...
He has 2 priests in his group; Isn't it possible to hide the buffs you get from others, to not have them display? If that IS the case, then isn't it possible that he was getting heals but managed the dps by himself?
This is speculation, I don't remember if you can have buffs from others not display or not.
Just tried it with my ilvl 539 prot paladin and a holy paladin. I died around 90%.
MAYBE it's possible with the higher item levels and 2p/4p prot but the damage I took with Galleon and ~12 adds was already insane.
Vengeance wasn't nearly high enough to keep me up by myself.
