Onyxia Strategy in World of Warcraft Part2

Last time, we have introduced Onyxia guide part1. Right now, we are going to continue to talk about Onyxia strategy. We believe players will get easy victory and rewards (WoW gold, items and experience) as you have read this guide!

Phase Two Strategies

(Players are able to find Part1 in our site—vcsale, article page. You still can get more information from here, such as World of Warcraft gold guide, WoW power leveling and WoW news)
The second main objective is to get Onyxia down to about 40% health as fast as you can. Ranged damage is all that can hit her while in flight though so it is important to have everyone doing as much ranged DPS as possible. You should track all debuffs and DOTs on her and ensure they are kept up so that you move through this phase as fast as possible.

At roughly 40% health Onyxia will land. Starting at this point the MT should follow her movements in the air so that he is right beside her when she lands. Also just before this point all ranged DPS on her should stop so that the MT can re-establish aggro when she does land. When she lands you move to phase 3 of the fight.

Phase Three Strategies

In phase three everyone should move back to their phase one positioning with one minor change. In matter of fact, you are not allowed to buy items and equipments as you are moving to other phase. If you hope to buy armors and drugs with WoW gold, you should prepare them before you entered to this instance. You should make sure you are not standing on the cracks that will erupt lava. While this will not prevent taking damage it will limit it somewhat and if positioned perfectly you will not be feared by it. Make sure everyone is spread out and that the MT is back to the north end of the room.

At the end of phase two and beginning of phase three it is critical to hand off aggro from the ranged leaders to the main tank. Once she lands the tank should again be the only thing attacking her for a while to establish firm control just as in phase one. The part that makes this tricky is the fear caused by the lava and Onyxia's knock back ability. When Onyxia lands and while the MT is establishing control the MT will in most cases get knocked back or feared at least once. This is where things can go wrong fast. Everyone should stay of damage until she is back to the Phase one position along the north edge of the room and the Tank has full control. Usually a full 1% health drop as in phase one will ensure complete aggro control for the rest of the fight if people are careful with their DPS.

This part of the fight should be very similar to the first phase. Keep your DPS under control doing about 50-75% of your max and clearing aggro as often as you can. The biggest change is the addition of the fear. Make sure you stay away from the whelp pits so you are not feared into them and if you are call it out fast so that the whelp groups can kill them quickly. General speaking, players need to repair their equipments after they have completed a combat. In this situation, players have to spend much World of Warcraft gold.

When Onyxia is near death (last 5-10% health) she will enter a rage state and her damage output goes up sharply. This is another key point to watch for and your MT will need a lot of healing to stay up. Every healer in the raid should ensure that the MT is staying up before putting heals anywhere else. Second healing priority is the DPS players so that she actually goes down.

Conclusions

Onyxia is more about long term patience than all out DPS and speed. If you follow the strategies laid out here and have patience and practice a little you should have no issue beating her. Phase one is insanely easy if no one goes crazy on DPS. Phase two becomes easy once you figure out how to deal with the whelps and keep up ranged DPS. Phase three requires some luck the first several times you do it, and a ton of skill on the main tanks part to keep control while being feared and knocked back. The hardest part of the whole fight though seems to be the main tank regaining aggro at the end of phase two / beginning of phase three. Once that part is mastered though the fight goes a lot smoother. In fact once the tactics have been mastered I have taken part in raids defeating her with 28/40 people, and have heard of 20 man groups killing her.

The most important thing to remember is that as a scripted fight this will take some practice. No matter how accurate any strategy guide is, nothing can prepare you more than experience.
