Onyxia 1.7 Changes?

[Jerboa]

Yesterday we killed this bitch, and felt that somethin' has changed.

MainTank reported he was warped to her very often and sometimes he wasn't able to get her into position before some people died. (Phase 3)

During phase 1, priests and palas reported it was not able to rezz people because they were in combat without beeing healed buffed or anything else, and by not doing this themselves for sure. (After they got a combat rezz.)

This changes or whatever it is, took us 3 wipes + 1 successful try, and this is really bad 'cause I want to farm my Shard of the Scale :)

Are this changes in 1.7, or was it just the worst day to do bring her down for us?

Need Input, the search function here couldn't help me with this issue.

killed the 1.7-lady some hours ago, 2nd try. we got a bad deep-breath at 1st-try, strange.

our shammys and priests were reporting they are not able to stay ooc after ankh/soulstone :?

btw: helm of wrath dropped for me today :D

[sokkeh]

first tried her yesterday np =)

If you need to re in phase 1 i dunno what the hell you doin :/

[khan3817]

Yes she Deep Breaths like a motherfucker now.

You know people who are new to Onyxia and run to their positions before MT is at the northern pos? And the are some other possibilities too, to die, if u aren't so experienced as dNa :) *hug*

It was our 5th Onyxia-Kill I think, but pre-1.7 is was a take-away kill.

So you had the same prob in phase 1, interesting, so this is not just a pipe dream that somethin has changed.

Btw: Shard of the Scale didn't drop :(

We killed her sunday saw no changes, we had some agro problems as usual in phase 3 but we killed her first try.
We also had our first deathbringer drop and we killed her a lot so it was a good run :P
But a friend told me that they had also phase 1 agro problems wich never happened before so i guess its just another onyxia bug :X

[slitz]

killed her again today and it took us four tries if I recall correctly...

What I haven't seen before was the mass spawn of whelps in phase 2 (think both sides spawned like 20-25 each), and she kept double knocking me a lot more than usual (maybe that's just the impression I got however).
She did deep breath a lot more than usual (think we had 3 first try), but could have been due to the fact that mages had to help AEing the mass of whelps.

During phase3 she was impossible to move at times where she would just summon me back instead of actually following me so I could position her.
This happened in 1.6 also now and then, but it was a lot more consistant now.. Guess we will have to see next week if all this was just coincidences or actually 1.7 changes.

The fears during phase3 can still mess up quite a lot, but I don't think that's different from 1.6

We killed Onyxia with no Problems, just fill the additional debuff slots and deal with the fear that cant be "abused" anymore and everything is fine.

[dr_AllCOM3]

killed her. no breath, a lot less fear. several died bc of fixed fear.

[RubiksCube]

Well, we have had problems with ony ever since patch 1.6, mainly starting around the time we were running MC constantly. Uberequipped mages/hunters just seem to overnuke to much and a well equipped MT seems to resist her flames to much not getting rage.

Somebody mentioned something about her starting to be buggy if your MT tanks her in Fire Resistance gear :/

[Krissam]

2 kills, haven't really seen any changes yet, we got deep breathed twice in one run, but that has happened before so not really anything to conclude from this, also when we got deep breathed i was able to stone and ress people

[lach]

No changes since the patch that we have noticed.

[Theldon]

yeah she deep breathed for us twice in a row, wiped 30/40 raid

[Kaylos]

We struggled on our first few tries on Onyxia, took her down though after about 4 tries. Yesterday, we took her down first try, no deep breaths. You still have to fill every single debuff slot, which is a little tougher with 16. But she goes down through phase 2 so fast when all 16 are filled, that it really makes phase 2 almost too fast as long as you do that.

[Dunderdon]

no "bad" change for us as well
less fear, no fear abuse and more debuffs
aggro control was no problem

edit: we should all agree that onyxia is just a weird bitch!! oh and she is female, guess that explains a lot :P

Hi guys, just had a question about gear during the onyxia fight. Sorry if it's been touched on before...but would it be more beneficial for the healers/casters to wear high fire resist gear that sacrifices mana etc...

Or is it better to use normal gear and just use greater fire pots?

Thanks for your time!
