saedo — Sun, 12/05/2010 - 14:32

Abilities:

Phase 1 (while Onyxia lives):

Onyxia (starts alone):

  • Electric Discharge - When the orbs glows, inflicts 20K nature damage per second to enemies on her sides, increased by Lightning Charge level, can be line of sighted
  • Shadowflame Breath - Inflicts 35K shadowflame damage in a frontal cone every 0.5 sec for 1.5 sec, also ressurects Animated Bone Warriors in the aoe.
  • Cleave - 110% normal melee damage to enemy and nearest allies
  • Tail Lash - Sweeping tail strike hits all behind for 18K damage and stuns for 2 seconds
  • Children of Deathwing - Nefarian and Onyxia attack 100% faster if they are within 60 yards of each other

Nefarian (appears 30 seconds later):

  • Hail of Bones - Cast 6 times before landing, spawning an Animated Bone Warrior and doing 25K shadow damage to nearby enemies
  • Shadowflame Breath, Cleave, Tail Lash, Children of Deathwing - Same as above

Nefarian's Lightning Machine (activates if Nefarian is dps'd):

  • Electrocute - Genrates massive bolt of lightning that strikes the ground, inflicts 105K nature damage to all enemy targets

Animated Bone Warrior (starts at 100 energy, depletes and inactive at 0)

  • Animate Bones - Shadowflame energy animates these bones, takes 2 energy per second
  • Empowering Strikes - Melee and ranged attacks empower caster, increasing damage dealt by 100%, stacks

 

Phase 2 (3 minutes or Chromatic Prototype's deaths):

Lava

  • Magma - Deals 5K fire damage per second, increases damage taken from magma by 2000, stacks

Nefarian

  • Shadowflame Barrage - 25K shadow damage to an enemy
  • Shadow of Cowardice - Inflicts 30K shadowflame damge to enemy and increases shadow damage taken by 100%

Chromatic Prototype (does not melee)

  • Blast Nova - Does 15K fire damage to all enemies every 2 seconds for 30 seconds, interruptable

 

Phase 3:

Nefarian

  • Cleave, Tail Lash, Shadowflame Breath - Same as before
  • Shadowblaze Spark - Creates shadowy blaze at nearby location, expands in circular form and follows players and speeds up if touched.
  • Shadowblaze - Inflicts 50K shadowflame damage to all in it, resurrects Animated Bone Warriors

Animated Bone Warriors

  • Animate Bones, Empowering Strikes - Same as before

 

Notes:

Phase 1:

  • Onyxia starts alone, phase ends when killed
  • Standard dragon positions, no stand in front or back
  • Electrical Discharge will shoot lightning from her sides, can be line of sighted
  • Nefarian will spawn 6 Animated Bone Warriors for you, kite those (undead CC'able too)
  • Too much hp to burn, and the become inactive over time
  • But revived if hit by shadowflames, so keep them away from those frontal cones
  • 30 seconds in, Nefarian lands, tank him 60+ yards away or both get a 100% haste buff
  • If Nefarian is dps'd during this phase, occasionally Electrocutes everyone, 100K aoe damage to heal through

Phase 2:

  • When Onyxia dies, Nefarian flies up and the room fills with lava
  • Get to a pillar swim up and jump out of it
  • Divide the raid in 3, each pillar will have a Chromatic Prototype on it, doesn't need tanks
  • This phase Nefarian just random blasts the raid
  • Meanwhile, each of your teams kill the Chromatic Prototype on their pillar
  • Does constant blast waves, interruptable
  • Phase ends in 3 minutes or when all Chromatic Prototypes die

Phase 3:

  • Lava goes away, and he lands, similar to phase 1 again
  • Except, there's now shadowblaze, a purple fire that grows and follows players
  • Think Mimiron hard mode fires but way faster, and growing outwards in a circlular fashion
  • They also revive the Animated Bone Warriors when the fire inevitiably hits them
  • Deal with them the same way, kite/CC til inactive again, if you're able to keep away from fire that long

What, no class call?  I was hoping my bow would break every pull.

That was amazingly easy to avoid if you paid attention :P

Still, you'd have the odd hunter (*cough*PYXIE*cough*JOSIE*cough*) that routinely broke their Rhok'delar on that fight.

I actually ran out of arrows once on him.  What'd I do?  Whipped out my Destroyer of Worlds and WING CLIP SPAMMED Nef.  Still beat most of the hunters on damage.

Glad they added the electrocute, hear of guilds downing nef to almost 50% before killing ony and jibbing this fight

Well that is one of the achievements.   But probably have to do more ranged dps in P2.   Maybe, maybe do some in P1 while prepping for the massive heals and CD usage.   Cause Nef doesn't constantly spam it, so dps asap, electrocute heal up, hope for the best.
