Talk:Onyxia (tactics)

From WoWWiki

In the bugged heal section this:

Onyxia heals herself for 45% over ten seconds. This is extremely rare, but always happens during Phase Three. It appears to happen only in very long fights. Even in long fights, though, it does not usually happen.

should be changed to this

Onyxia heals herself for 45% over ten seconds. This is extremely rare, but only happens during Phase Three. It appears to happen only in very long fights. Even in long fights, though, it does not usually happen.

saying that it's "extremely rare" and then saying it "always happens" seems contradictory to me.

Wing Buffet: I am fairly certain this ability does decrease threat by a % amount. As a paladin I never have threat issues while tanking, yet I did have her lose aggro 2-3 times in this last attempt - all after wing buffet. TBH, I can't remember how we dealt with this pre-TBC as it was so long ago, but from today I'd imagine having 2 people build threat would work well - one at her side so as not to get hit by the buffet.

Bug Update

Couple weeks ago on Kargath, I was in a group of 10 or so 70s. We got to Ony and wiped from the Phase 2 Flame Breath. We reentered and aggroed Ony again. Here's where things went south.

Ony began moving without attacking us, backwards into the wall, around the sides, seemingly AWAY from any character. She did not use any special moves. Eventually we "chased" her so she started running through the whelp pit. Naturally, all our melee followed her in. We survived one circuit through the whelp pit, but the second trip got us.

After ressing and running back, we aggroed Ony again. This time when she ran into the whelp pit, our ranged DPS mauled her with no fear of retaliation. Once she hit Phase 2, she returned to her normal pattern.

And there were many awesome screenshots all around. KyleOmega 03:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
