Current record seems to be 4 man to down Onyxia. 2 priests, warrior and rogue: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3913987439473738371&q=onyxia+4+man

Might be doable with 3 but it would still probably require 2 healers making your dps extremely low and the fight ridiculously long.

Onyxia is a three phase fight:

Phase one (100%):
- Immune to standard aggro tools. Sunders still work.
- Knockback to the front and back
- Fire breath to the front
- Standard melee attacks

Phase two (60%):
- Onyxia takes flight
- Complete aggro loss
- Fireball spits at random targets
- Whelp spawns related to quantity in raid
- Deep breaths kill for 4,000+ damage. (Frequency is related to clusters of people as well as too many or not enough DoTs/DPS)

Phase three (40%):
- Onyxia lands
- Immune to standard aggro tools. Sunders still work.
- Knockback to the front and back
- Fire breath to the front
- Standard melee attacks
- Lava spits. Stay off the cracks or they will burn you.
- Random fears. Frequently in conjunction with lava spits.

The biggest key to the fight is not taking aggro from the main tank. Everything else is trivial in comparison. Strategies for this fight are fairly standardized.

There have been loads of speculations about Onyxia. After killing her for almost two years now i have come to conclude a few things.

Phase 1 is very very very easy especially now with KTM Threat meater all people have to do is stay 10k threat (this is because every time she knockbacks the tank, the tank looses 10k threat) under the tank till 75% and then nuke her down to fall into phase 2.

A lot of people whine about her doing deep breadths (phase 2) because everyone is not spread out etc. This is just a myth. The only reason people should spread out is not to take aoe damage from the firebolt. I have two theroies why she does deep breadths. My first theory is that if you do a substantial ammount of dps on her in phase 2 meaning everyone is nuking the hell out of her (including rogues and warriors) she will not deep breadth. Another theory is that most people in the raid are not on her threat list since a lot of raid leaders want people to spread out and do nothing because most of the time she is not in range. Though if people use thier bows and run around a little bit just to hit once and be on that threatlist after she moves (every time onyxia moves in phase two aggro is reset) she will not but that would defy my first theory.

Third phase is the hardest but can be the most easiest this all depends on how fast and good your main tank is. If he does manage to pull onyxia stright away and gain fast ammount of threat from here on onyxia can be nuked down. I also have a speculation about her in the 3rd phase. Most of the time she fears a lot sometimes no. I have come to conclude that if there is a high ammount of dps on her in the second phase she will fear less than if there was no dps at all. So that is why its all up to the main tank. More threat = More Nuke = Less Fears = Killing her very fast. My guild at the moment kills her in about 3-4mins tops.

Farming Onyxia as 10-15 is great to get lots of gold. I killed her as 15 with my guild and each of us got lots of gold each. If you keep tryin to do it with your guild a few times it should be possible.

Well down Ony fairly consistently now. the first 2 phases are fairly routine and as the others have said.

Something we have found handy in the 3rd phase is if you have a main tank who is a blacksmith he can get this little trinket https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=10418 With a 30sec anti fear it is bloody excellent. Works very well with stance dancing, fear isnt a problem.

Hope this helps.

Shaman tier 2 has been added to the alliance loot table as well as paladin tier 2 to the horde's on Onyxia.

The current theorycraft about Onyxia is Onyxia fireballs the top person on her threat list during Phase 2, and that her fireball is actually an aggro-wipe on the person it's targetted at.

Keep in mind this is just a theory, and except for major theorycrafters remains untested. How many people have claimed to know what causes Deep Breath, after all?

Kommentar von ButtonsVelen

whats the average gold amount she drops?

Kommentar von Thottbot

phase 1: have even groups go right and odd groups go left. let MT build agro and then open fire with steady dps.
phase 2: SPREAD OUT if anyone is withing 4 yards of anyone else you may wipe the group. have 3 or 4 people designated to kill the whelps.
phase 3: get your faces to the wall. once she starts fearing and that lava shoots up you want to have your face to a wall so you dont get feared into the lava. stay away from cracks. have hunters turn aspect of the pack on. around this time the rogues and warriors should be meleeing.

these are all from experience, some info may be off.

Kommentar von Thottbot

to avoid deep breath u have to spread outa nd keep DPS on her
also if she turns her head she is less likely to do deep breath..... comone guys u cna kill her!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hard to believe there are still so many retarded comments after all these months.

Onyxia's Lair is found to the very south of Dustwallow Marsh. It's a 40 man raid zone with 4 pulls before you actually fight her. Good, experienced groups, can kill her with 30 people. There are 3 phases in the fight. Watch a video to see how it works.

In order to enter Onyxia's Lair, you need to posses the Drakefire Amulet, which is only attainable through a very long quest chain. The chain is different for Horde and Alliance. The horde quest chain starts with the Warlord's Command quest, which is obtained at Kargath. The alliance chain has already been posted in this thread.

Onyxia drops all the tier 2 epic set helms, plus other miscellaneous items (weapons, necklaces, trinkets, cloaks, etc). For those people who don't really know about class set items, I'll list them here:

Class - Rare set (blue) - T1 epic set (purple) - T2 epic set (purple)
Druid - Wildheart - Cenarion - Stormrage
Hunter - Beaststalkers - Giantstalkers - Dragonstalkers
Mage - Magister - Arcanist - Netherwind
Paladin - Lightforge - Lawbringer - Judgement
Priest - Devout - Prophecy - Transcendance
Rogue - Shadowcraft - Nightslayer - Bloodfang
Shaman - Elements - Earthfury - Ten Storms
Warlock - Dreadmist - Felheart - Nemesis
Warrior - Valor - Might - Wrath

You won't see them all drop the first time you kill her because obviously she doesn't drop 8 epics at a time. If you manage to kill her 100 times though, I'm pretty sure you'll see an even spread of class drops.

Those are the only class set items that Onyxia drops. She does not drop non-helm T2 set items, and does not drop any T1 set items. T1 epic set items in Molten Core, and the rest of the T2 epic set items drop in Blackwing Lair.

Kommentar von Thottbot

All correct.. exept you forgot to mention that T2 epic set Leggings drop off Ragnaros in MC.

I am quite sure that the Onyxia Scale Cloak is crafted by Leatherworkers and not Tailors

Correction to the guide:

Skinners with a 315 profession level can skin her for Scale of Onyxia, a cloak that is learned by Tailors

The cloak (used to protect against Nefarian in BWL) is a Leatherworking recipe, not Tailoring.
Muster: Onyxiaschuppenumhang

Kommentar von Drominius

Since the reset of Onyxia is not on a 7 day cooldown, we killed her twice in a week and got two heads that we wanted to user for our ~3h MC run next Sunday.
But that did not work out. We placed the first head, ran MC till Ragnaros and went back to OG for the second buff which did not appear after turning in the quest.

So i there seems to be a cooldown as to how often a new Onyxia Buff is cast.

Kommentar von Roggos

Shaman Head is more like 75%.If not 90%
