Ony "Soloed"?

[Majo]

I've been tossing around the idea of 5-boxing Onyxia on my shamans. Yanamana and I have just about finished all the UBRS runs I've needed to complete the questline - just 1 more General Drekk kill to go.

I'll probably focus on dinging 70, then go attempt it. I'll let you all know how it goes, as I'm definitely going to be attempting it and recording the fight to post (assuming i don't suffer an embarassing loss =P).

On a side-note, Onyxia has now been solo'd by a dreamstate resto druid. No bear tanking or anything, just straight moonfire, insect swarm, and incredible healing and mp5.

Note: Interestingly the guy playing this druid, Serennia, was also the top rated arena player in the world on his warrior last season, alongside his druid healer partner. Talented individual.

I don't have a link, but I heard a prot paladin solo'd it recently as well. He claims first to solo onyxia because the resto druid had a hunter wait by in case the trash mob respawned and pulled, which it did. I'd still count it as a solo.

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.

I get this alot, I have an 85%+ win ratio in leading AV now but if we lose it's always "that multiboxing noob's" fault.

Ony was soloed by both a Druid and a Paladin. I think the Paladin attempt took 2 or 3 hours.

There are videos somewhere (google search should bring it up).
