MDI All Stars at BlizzCon 2018: Interesting Routes and Skips

Last weekend we saw four of the best Mythic+ teams from around the world go head to head in MDI: All Stars at Blizzcon. You can read a full recap on the events
here
.
As expected from such an event we saw creative pathing and unique strategies that only an MDI can bring. Let's take a look at some of them. Now, these are high level routes and I don't recommend you pull them out with a pug group you found in the group finder. They're going to be
pretty
confused when you start slow falling through half of the instance.
MDI Dungeon Tools strings for all dungeons can be found at the end of the article.
The "Return of the Alliance" Motherlode skips
Used by:
Free Marsy
The horde Mythic+ racials have received a lot of attention since the start of Legion as being clear winners for dungeons (and usually raids). It's
mostly
just Arcane Torrent but Bezerking and War Stomp aren't bad either. Not here. In game one of the MDI finals Free Marsy ran a Night Elf comp which let them mass pull mobs and then shadowmeld - skipping large portions of the dungeons at a time. These skips are possible in any setup but usually require the tank to die and then either get a battle res or a regular res (if the rest of the group is able to stay out of combat). By using Shadowmeld instead they saved a 5 second death penalty and kept their all of their battle resses, saving crucial time.
Let's look at the skips.
Keep in mind that they had 100% trash percentage as they reached the first picture. The worms aren't a difficult mob but they're also not worth much and the Taskmaster is an ultra slow kill so it makes sense to burn shroud here. You also can't shroud anything past the second boss due to how many mobs can see through stealth.
Pictures two and three are commonly skipped mobs since the Weapons testers and Masterminds are both dangerous casters that can't easily be pulled in bulk. Free Marsy's competition notably lost people trying to clear the same trash.
To make up the percentage
Ok Motherlode is absolutely stuffed to the brim with mobs so it isn't too difficult to make it to 100% trash. In Free Marsy's case they clear almost all of the trash before the first boss, and then the easily massacred goblins after the Coin Operated Pummeler. Check out the Method Dungeon Tools routes down the bottom of the page for more detail.
The "Stealth Dive Bomb" Shrine of the Storm skip
Used by:
Free Marsy, Method NA
This is an awesome skip purely because you're flying through the air above all of the mobs. The trash before the first boss in Shrine is notably awful (like most Shrine trash come to think of it) featuring mobs that heal, mobs that cast on the tank and are difficult to group, and water elementals that'll either stun you or force you to line of sight them.
To make up the percentage
Shrine isn't quite as overflowing as Motherlode and there are very few packs that are "free percentage". Both teams grabbed two packs after the bridge shroud (grab more information on
that
skip in the Wowhead Shrine of the Storm route guide) and killed almost all of the eel packs.
The "Druid Hop" Temple of Sethraliss skip
Used by:
Method NA
Alright this is a smaller one but was notable since Jdotb made a small error here and got murdered by the mobs he skipped as he was firing off his res. It appeared to cost Method NA any chance of winning the dungeon before sister team Method Pogchamp wiped on the final boss.
The first skip is pretty standard now with most pug groups even skipping the trash to the first boss. The second is where the druid comes in with a Wild Charge behind the mob getting him through and into a position where he can res those less fortunate. This isn't ultra dangerous trash but the sand clouds (which prevent attacking in from outside) and damage reflect shield (though purgeable) make it sufficiently slow that the trash later in the instance is cleared more easily. You can also pull the skip off with invis potions or shadowmeld. Generally invis pots are a rare use in the competitive scene where chaining stat potions for extra DPS is much better value. In pugs or lower level groups they're much more palatable because nobody is chain-casting 500g a piece potions to complete their +12.
Bonus: clearing the trash before the last boss as a super saiyan.
Another reason you want to skip so much trash earlier is that you can shroud or invis pot through all of the mobs before the final boss, heal the avatar of sethraliss to full health and then work your way back up the bridge. This gives you a significant haste and damage reduction buff and by pulling them with the final boss adds you clear them very very efficiently.

Motherlode (Free Marsy)
Motherlode is a
little
bit of an approximation since Free Marsy were minimized to the side of the window for most of their pulls.
