Edit: Two Items

That axe is hot.

But seriously, two items and no quest drop? God.

[Crosse]

Pretty crazy for being on a 5 day timer and all.

[Sintor]

I figured the item count would be low... but I also figured there would at least be a quest multi-drop for some decent loot rewards. Bleh.

[Ei]

lol like the UBER quest line to get the key and the no quest for the kill ....
ROFL

[Prometheus]

I would love to have that helm :/

[Sintor]

Other thing worth noting is that she was supposed to drop something to help with other raid encounters, per the raid article on the main page.

Whoops!

[arch]

Did they make a movie?

Would love to see that if they did.

In a day you can get 5-9 epic items from molten core, or you can get 1-3 items from onyxia.

Besides, in my mind the shits not even about the fucking loot, its about just managing to organize yourself to being able to beat the shit. I could care less what she or any boss drops, its only some icing on a shitty PvE cake waiting for PvP to have some meaning.

[Firecrak]

While the axe is good...its nothing to scream home to mama to. 5 days worth of goodness? I don't think so.

[Aradorn]

Deathbringer + Deathstriker with axe spec would be one bad ass warrior DW combo...

[Ei]

No sure if theres really a bad ass DW setup out there atm.

[Blacktastic]

Can't say I'm not impressed. Shitty drops though for beating onyxia =/ I'd have expected a legendary item to drop atleast.

[Miragul]

That's the problem. As far as I know, Legendary items aren't in the game yet. Once they are Onyxia might be worth the effort as far as loot is concerned.

I have the same approach to PvE high level content as Demonsurge though. I like achieving things more than the actual loot that's gained.

[Jumai]

A legendary item on every raid of the easiest raid boss in the game? While it took her a while to go down I suspect within a couple months she will be considered a pretty routine encounter, at least among guild groups. Would be nice if she also dropped like 10 random green BOEs though.

[Aradorn]

shes only tier 1 raid, so i really dindt expect red or gold items to drop.. but i did expect 2 or 3 purple and 4 or so greens...

Oh well, MC seems to be the loot place and onyxia is just for whatever...

[Ironbeard]

Have any horde guilds attempted Onyxia yet? Seems like FoH is the only Horde raiding guild that I have seen.

I'm trying to find a Horde raiding guild that plays on the East coast, can anyone recommend one?

[Aradorn]

tallied up the stats for the Might set for warriors...

4306 armor
65 agi
173 stam
136 str
29 spi
31 fire
21 frost
21 nature
21 arcane
25 shadow

not bad i guess... just kinda crappy that this is the only epic set found for warriors...

[Sintor]

Actually there is a battlegear of Wrath, nothing has dropped from it yet. It's the tier 2 epic set for warriors.

[Shamiko]

Would love to see that if they did.

Blink-mage exploit, i'm sure if you google enough you'll find out how to do it.

Huh? You mean they bugged Onyxia or what?

Of course Onyx shouldn't drop a legendary every time. I do think there should be a small percent chance (.05% or less) for one to drop once they are in. I don't pretend to understand all the ins and outs of the different tier levels and what they are designed to drop. I'm speaking merely on what I would expect.

If a 5 man-able boss like Rend has a chance to drop a boss only epic then why shouldn't a 40 person raid mob like Onyxia have a chance to drop a legendary? Just seems logical to me.

I know there will be much tougher bosses down the line, but there has to be some sense of scalable risk vs reward.

[Balroc]

Properly done, onyxia shouldnt take more than an hour to takedown. 2 epics for that is well worth it.

[Sintor]

I'd imagine if you have her strategy down, runs would take somewhere in the 30 minute range.

[Eltharion]

so whats the deal guys? get with it..... now you have to do it to show up those silly alliance kids.
