Just an FYI, tried (multiple times) to interrupt the Ignite Weapon on 10 man the last time I tanked Ony, and it doesn’t seem like it is interruptable. Disarm still works though.

Thanks for the tips all. Didn’t know you could interrupt the cast time on the Ignite Weapon. I swear I tried shield bashing it a couple times with no results. Oh well. Will try again.
Admittedly–I was less than forthcoming about when I disarmed, so I’m sure it made Kae’s job even harder. And–I’m a gnome, so trying to tank, avoid the Ignite Weapon, and keep my camera in order to avoid Deep Breaths….well shoot. That is just a lot for a gnome to handle.
Thanks for the props BBB. Always nice to see the guild’s accomplishments in the blog. I’ll repeat what Bear said–great group of people, awesome encounter to revisit, and I have the Shark hat to terrorize Northrend with. ;)

Hey another tip. During phase three, when the tank has her up against the wall, there’s places on either side of her where you can climb up on the wall. You’re out of the flames and the fear only causes you to dance around in the same place for a few seconds. Good for us healers as we’re in range of the tank and the ranged dps can be up there with us.

@ John IV: I didn’t know that Ignite Weapon could be interrupted! That’s fantastic! I only knew about the Disarm before, and you can’t use that on every pop because of the CD. Now I’ll never have to eat another one of those again. Healers will love that. :)

My guild just killed her last night. And I got the tanking ring, which is just sexy. Grats on your kill, Bear.

Just thought Id mention, in addition to being able to disarm the dragonkin in phase 2, that ignite weapon has a cast time that can be interupted by rogues and shamans ( and presumably warriors, just havent tried that yet ;)) That gives you 2 shots at avoiding the extra damage from it.

Gratz on your victory…

Killing an old fashion big boss in a newer way its always risky and tasty.

Our guild manage to kill her in the first day available to 80, 25 man (2 trys with many many yells on ventrilo about moving far away the damn deep breath, etc etc xD ), after this, we made 3 groups of 10man. I dont want to look cocky but we reach the farming status over her =)

I’m MT in 10 & 25 man, never disarm the dragonkin, just brutal dps and move away when blast nova comes. Certanly my guild loves the Bear survability in this raid. =) ; and hell yeah the 25 man Head item was a direct drop for the good Bear. ; )

Disarm is useful, if not disarmed the tank is taking a lot of extra damage. Melee should however stay on the dragonkin so ranged can focus on Onyxia. You’ll be alright so long as they know to run out during a blast nova. It has a long enough cast time to warn you for them.

Huh – been killing her twice a week since she came out (10/25) and never knew about the disarm. Just watch his feet. He will get a glowy animation around his feat a few seconds before the AoE goes off. The amount of damage you take is proportional to your distance from him. Basically I just tank him, and when I see the ‘blastwave’ or whatever it is being cast, I just dump out along with the melee. He doesn’t move during the cast, and he doesn’t dump agro – so it’s no big loss. We have some sick DPS though – so I’m sure that helps.

But – big grats to ya’ll! I’m glad to see you have the excitement from killing her. I really hate those people that get down on a group for doing something.

“Ony is easy – you should never wipe – L2P”
“GG killing older content with higher ilvl gear”
“Because Uld is hard amirite? GG nerfbat”

Those people really need to find something better to do.

Oh – and the druid helm looks sick on a cow. Just saying.
