Onyxia, revamped

Yesterday was a patch day – and nicely we had a raid planned with Grumpy. We cleared VoA without any problems, but had couple of wipes in Trial – mostly just bad luck.

And then we went to visit Onyxia.

I had never raided Onyxia in vanilla-WoW – but I had heard discussions how hard it was. All 40 people had to work hard to kill her.

I’ve described my experience with “old” Onyxia – it was easy even with quest blues. So I was quite happy to meet revamped Onyxia.

The fight is fun – it was easier for us, as we had people experienced with the old fight. I think I was the biggest issue at first, as I did not avoid the tail swipes *ashamed*.

But we downed her on first attempt, with just one death. On the other hand, another team wiped on her for three hours… today we are going to meet her in 25-man raid, I predict lots of deaths from deep breaths.

It would be really nice to get [Reinforced Shadowstrike], as Deliorion’s weapon is fast becoming his weakest gear – and one with the most impact on DPS. 2% drop rate… so I can just dream on, I am sure it will drop one day after I get a better weapon from the Icecrown raid…

Oh well.
