onyxia ae

When she goes in the air couldnt you run the raid to the entrance, or maybe inside the whelp caves, maybe those are outside the AE range. and hunters and mages can still attack and you can just assist heal whoever is getting the single fireballs. In EQ hiding casters or other classes behind walls and objects was a big part of some encounters, the same with mob posistioning, which is more obvious.

so Im guessing instead of trying to get 150-200 fire resist to drop the ae damage to like half, just hide maybe?

Well we tried to go into the whelps and AE them (this was a safe zone from her damage). It seemed like the whelps were buggy though and we got so many and ontop of that she would shoot fireballs at specific people. If you didn't dodge the fireball it ignited you. If you ever did the General in Upper Spire, basically this ignite takes over your character and runs around in a small area (pacing back and forth) and does damage to you and also damage to people around you.

It might have been better to just sit in her main AE area and just take the 1500 damage. Guess we shall find out in retail.
