I did it the first week it was out, and was unlucky enough to BARELY lose a tiebreaking roll on the head, (and subsequently, the sweet neckpiece.)

It also took us 6 tries due to people not familiar with the fight, semi-bad group composition (good, non-retarded group, but some people were a tad undergeared. Note i didn’t say semi bad GROUP!… lol)

The following week… Went in, one shotted it, and scored the head.

w00t.

In other news, I’m sick as a dog (I work directly with military trainees… when you are a drill sergeant with 60 privates in a confined space, you’re bound to get PWNED by the crud once in a while.)

I was unfortunately not feeling up to playing much tonight, which is a bummer cuz I actually had some time to do so. Right now I’m grinding lowbie quests for rep.

AAANYWAYS, bored rambling comment over. Dig the post on mouseover characters. Super cool!

@Dhorvin – Done it, in fact, that was pretty much the only way I could ever beat Heigan. >.>

I’ve dropped Ony twice; no Hunter loot either time. Like Durkon, I covet that rifle–aesthetically, it’s a very Dwarven weapon, and it’ll be a nice DPS upgrade over the Tournament rifle.

“…it is surprisingly difficult to keep track of where she is when she’s flying around.”

Type or macro the following:
/console cameraDistanceMax 50
/console CameraDistanceMaxFactor 3.4

Then zoom the camera out to its new maximum distance. You’ll never lose sight of Onyxia again, which is particularly important when you’re doing your utmost to pew-pew.

we usually have our hunters (and other misc ranged) on killing Onyxia only, not worry about the whelps. Yesterday we had just the one hunter (only ranged), so no pressure on his shoulder Took us a few tries to learn how to stay alive long enough during phase 2 so he had time to get her down. But we did it

Thanks for this, I haven’t had chance to do the new Onyxia yet so wasn’t 100% on the tactics pretty much the reason why I haven’t posted about Onyxia on my little blog.

In other news, my feedburner has decided it doesn’t like your blog anymore and hasn’t updated this feed :< this makes me a sad bunny!

[...] in the tradition of the recent posts by Honor’s Code and Pike, I’d just like to add… yay, we killed her [...]

I like the new rifle! It’s not too ostentatious, it’s simple, practical… dwarven.

I want one!

I find on Phase 3, it’s helpful to stand to the side with your back to a wall (NOT near the whelp caves). 50% chance of getting feared into the wall means less chance of getting a hotfoot, or a tail swipe, and less time spent reorienting myself.

Also, since ranged and healers are usually directed to stand in the middle of the room starting Phase 2 to make it easier for tanks to grab the whelps, you’re already there when they are collected. Since Volley has no min range, just stay there til chain casting it….and don’t forget to drop an Explosive Trap!

Explo Trap + Chain Volley = a faceful of yellow numbers =D

I’ve actually passed minor upgrades when they were guns because I LOVE my bow; I distinctly dislike crossbows; *shudders at Drake Mounted Crossbow*
