Onyxia's Lair + Destruction Lock = FAIL

-
Last night, I urged 2 guildies to three man Onyxia. Unfortunately after the fight started I learned that Onyxia is immune to all fire spells. No immolate, no conflagerate, no incinerate. My rotation consisted of Curse of Agony, Corruption and Chaos Bolt whenever the CD was ready. Luckily the tank, TOC geared held aggro and finished it off.

Next run, convert to Affliction.

    Does Chaos Bolt hit Onyxia? It's a fire school, and shouldn't penetrate immunities, only absorbtions and resistances. Maybe she isn't immune to fire, but has very high resistance.

    I tend to keep Corruption up, use Curse of Doom, Deathcoil, Shadowflame and Shadowfury on cooldown, fill with shadowbolts, and drain life after when tapping. Seed of corruption on the whelp spawns and that's pretty much it. Didn't get my usual "raid dps", but didn't do too badly.

    Good question. I thought I was hitting Onyxia, but maybe I was just wasting my mana on her. Another group of guildies are looking to run all the old world content this Friday. I'll update you on what I find.

Patch 9.3 Chromie Crisis

-

The bronze dragon, Chromie is still suffering from the events that lead to her many deaths during the Legion invasion. She's fatigued from keeping up access for champions to adventure in the many different timelines. In 9.3, we will adventure into an ever-changing timeline with zones phasing between classic (including season of mastery realms), vanilla (pre-cataclysm), post-cataclysm, and a future alternate reality where the Iron Horde was successful in conquering Azeroth. Characters will phase randomly into various timelines as they are playing through a series of  'What-if' type scenarios.  Some of the possibilities include: Argus never fell to Burning Legion. Quest alongside Velen to perform daily tasks.  Players turn 'evil' after killing the end raid boss of select raids. Your raid team is allowed to hire raid boss' minions and take over the raid environment. The objective is to keep the raid under your control for as long as possible against other raid grou

Bee Math

So you've finally realized that the Bee Mount is the absolute BEST mount in the entire game. You want one, no, NEED one right now. OK, so what do you need to make this happen. Step 0: Go to the auction house and buy a few monel-hardened stirrups . Using the stirrups is the best way to harvest jelly. No need to dismount unless you are attacking something. Try not to. Step 1: Head over to wowhead and read what they said over there. This will give you all the details on how to get started. Turning off ground clutter really does help. Step 1B: set your hearthstone to the inn in Brannadam. It's a bit of a pain if your dalaran hearth is on cooldown, but nice to not have to fly back to stormsong each time. Step 2: You've now finished the intro quest chain, and are planning to harvest lots of thin jelly. You need to level your baby bee up 10,000 (3,000 for baby, another 7,000 for mature) health points to 'mature' and each thin jelly feed this little guy 6, SIX. Th
