Ony "Soloed"?

[Mith]

Just wondering if any of you 4sham+Protadin teams would consider taking a crack at this. How crazy would it be to have ony on farm status all by your lonesome =P. Totally not worth it for gold/loot, but bragging rights?

[Boylston]

It might be fun except for the keying process is sooooo painful for Onyxia.

I'm at the UBRS part of Ony attunement. Did it while farming BRD in my late 50's. Good XP.

Not too long ago I tried to help out some guild buddies and take Ony with 8 ppl, I was playing 3 of them. Admitedly I wasn't setup for it and was doing the warrior/priest/mage which is even more difficult, but it didn't go well. Why didn't it go well? Because a Warlock decided he was going to tank Ony instead of letting the real tank (not me) do her job. Naturally chaos insued and as you all know, unless you have a lot of practice with your setup trying to recover from unplanned encounters is just not going to happen. So after the wipe the blame started, and guess who caught it? Yeah, me. It wasn't the lock's fault, it wasn't the other 4 people who had a whole lot less to deal with, it was mine because it was multi-boxing.

I say all that to say this. I WILL be 5 manning Ony with my Pally and 4 Shaman, I will win, and I will post the screenshot on my guild's website.

Actually, Ony drops 150-200g, some gems, and some higher-level blues. It's probably not worth the risk compared to dailies (especially considering how long it takes to kill her with only a few DPS), but it's not altogether worthless. It's the first thing I'm planning to try once my tank is more uncrushable, but I'm pretty sure someone will beat me to it. It was done with less than five players even at lvl 60, so I think it's just a matter of someone taking some wipes to learn the multibox version of the strat.

I've rather have Razorgore on "farm" (first boss in BWL) for the "epic" class trinket he drops.

I have no idea how one would 5 box that chaotic fight though, mainly due to the number of elite mobs (40) you have to deal with + mind controlling ravorgore at the same time. :wacko:

The 2nd boss in BWL should also be easier.

Actually Razorgore is easier than Onyxia. One Single Prot Paladin can tank the entire adds.


But yeah, you might have a hard time doing the Mind Control to break all the eggs. So practice pure 2-box controlling 2 computers at the same time from 2 different keyboards/mouse.

[Stabface]

I disagree that Razorgore is easier. Onyxia was 3-manned pre-TBC (http://warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=34385)
and 2-manned since then by several class combos (paladin/warlock paladin/druid warrior/priest, others I am sure). Best I've seen on Razorgore is 5-man and that is at L70.

Hardest part of Onyxia is getting the key and killing the trash.

You'll run out of mana if your group is mana based. i tried 5 man, mages ran out of mana. You need hunters to dps the wench out of the air. At least if you plan on soloing.

[Los]

still if you get a bit geared, loads of gold, 18 slotter, and a lot of fun every 3 days or so?

Silly mages... take Shaman instead. Way better mana efficency. Although mages could just wand forever...

Frost + evocate + mana gems + pots? If a frost mage runs OOM in less than 10 minutes using a mana gem (and maybe a mana pot) then you probably have gear issues.
