• Onyxia is back with updated encounter mechanics. You will find new and updated loot here based on the original items with improved stats.
  
• Onyxia's 310% flying mount "Brood of Onyxia" is going to be a very very rare drop.

This will be implemented in cataclysm expansion.. Not sure if it will help us, but I would love to down Onyxia before they improve the abilities on that one, just to have an idea of what's going. Which is the reason of this post

Anyone interested in trying this some day? Long time before Cataclysm is out, so we don't have to rush.

I think its an exelent idea and i realy want in.... Although as i said i will be gone a couple of days... But after that if we are still going im defelently in...

Old onyxia is piece of cake as 80. I done it with priest and hunter (I was on Tesh back then). Basicly there are ground fights then she takes off in the air. Tacts are easy here is copy/paste from wow wiki:
This is (still) a very simple encounter.

Phase one simply involves pointing Onyxia at the back wall, healing the tank and DPS-ing her to 65%.

Phase two you will want to gather up and AoE down the first wave of whelps (who can do considerable tank damage with all 40 attacking the same target). Onyxia's fireball damage is fairly negligible. DPS can then commence on Onyxia herself who moves randomly around the room.

Whenever Onyxia spawns a Lair Guard it is advisable to have ranged DPS kill it immediately. It has very little HP but some fairly dangerous abilities that can kill melee DPS if they are not careful.

When Onyxia emotes for Deep Breath ensuring you are not in front of where Onyxia is facing will prevent being hit. Often simply running for the sides of the room will save you as well.

You may get another wave of whelps in which case gather and AoE as before, when Onyxia hits 40% she will land for good. She will cast Bellowing Roar immediately upon landing. Finish off whatever adds remain while the tank positions Onyxia (who has wiped threat from phase 1, it's advisable to have a fear ward or a fear break on the tank initially).

Phase 3 is little different from phase one aside from fears, some raid damage from eruption and occasional whelp spawns which are not too dangerous. She does nothing else special and will die upon reaching 0% HP.

I know you coul find it by yourself but I have some time to kill ATM...

Same priest I was with downed it one manned took him 25 mins tho.

I'm up for it, will be nice to revisit onyxia. should be a quick fight if we can get a couple of lvl 80's people to go.

There's no challenge in old Onyxia raid Me and Zushenk cleared it once or twice - just two of us At lvl 80 it's a piece of cake Remember it was lvl 60 raid where tanks had what? 5-6k hp?

Sweet that could be somthing for the mage tank Lea...

well it be fun to see how fast she will die if we are a few ppl xD
i mean grab all the pallys in the guild we where able to solo her at 70, now how fast is this gonna go then? xD
