Yep, that's the stuff. You need a lot of things to make it work, but there are a lot of things that make it work. Quicksilver, Reflex, Badge of Courage, Tikki Tooki, CYDSTEP, GETINDERE, WEYTWUT, Earthmother, Namtar's Ward and probably a few other things I'm forgetting. No single item on the list is required, but you do have to get several simultaneously.

EDIT: When this was first discovered, we had the pre-nerf trisword. This made the bosskill so trivial that Lujo refused to use it in his thread.

Yeah, the Lujo strategy (which works in vicious mode) is orc rogue for as much damage as possible (you can hit about 40), then use Namtar's Ward+as many DPs as possible. The reflex combo and whupaz are huge helps too. You may have to level up once or twice, especially if you want to get the most out of TT's reflex combos.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

My brain failed halfway through that post... 60 is a better estimate (although you will probably need a gods to do so).

wow I'm jealous, now I gotta figure out a way to do it at lvl 1. . .yeah I used amulet of yendor (prepped) + goblin lvl ups to lvl 5. Apheelsicked for extra damage then used binlor (prepped) so that I could tank hits. I would have used pisorf to get the extra piety I needed but pactmaker showed up so consensus made it a non-issue. . .
WHETWUT was to get rid of his first strike for the final blow

edit: In retrospect this could easily be done Warmonger as long as pactmaker shows up

Warlords do it too. The goat was an accidental misclick, it totally doesn't count.

Really, any class except maybe the monk and vampire can do this, it just takes more luck. I don't think there's a fix for it. The problem isn't with dodges or death protection or orcs or the Rogue or the Warlord or Tikki Tooki or Earthmother or Taurog or Dragonsoul or Crystal Ball etc. The problem is the combination of all of those factors. The only way to stop the combo is to nerf the individual components so badly that they no longer work during normal play, but that's like, half the game.

I've long accepted this as a kind of weird backdoor that veterans can use for the occasional laugh.
