Paladin’s TRUE solo kill of Onyxia. Breakdown.

Yeah it’s annoying, commentary has to be broken down into another post or else the embed goes crazy. Anyway so this here is a little bit of drama. I don’t know anybody in the guild VANQUISH at all but it seems they got some negative press when one of their members, a warrior named Serennia got on his friend’s resto-druid account (this is against the TOS genius under account sharing, watch your ass with this stuff) and claimed to have solo’d Onyxia. There’s been controversy from the begining because it’s NOT a solo kill.

I don’t give three flying fucks if there’s an add that spawns when you take too long to kill Onyxia. Solo means 1 player in the instance. That’s it. Circumstances be damned. But there was a certain arrogance that really gave me a bad vibe overall because most arrogant pricks that look to get attention any way they can, will try to validate accomplishments like this. “I solo’d Onyxia! But my hunter buddy helped keep the adds off me.”

Interestingly though, Par (a holy paladin from Kadghar US) was able to truthfully solo Onyxia. So in the end we had a video from a druid that was titled “Onyxia killed solo” and there wasn’t a kill, not even phase 3. Then there’s another druid that had help but still said “I solo’d it”. Finally we have a paladin who against all odds walks in and 1 shots Onyxia by himself. The guy chugs about 40 super mana potions and has the most freaking insane talent build I’ve seen in a long time. But hey, whatever works.

I find it EXTREMELY funny that he uses Rick Ross in his video for the music at the end. Because Rick Ross (like me) is from Miami, and is actually really good friends with my co-worker.

  1. Ok, first off in no way am I saying he didnt do it (I cant view the video from work), but how did he/she dps onyxia out of the air? With just holy shock? Or does judgment reach her uo there? Just curious. Its been me and my friends goal to 2 man her with BM hunter, and me as my holy pally. Havent attempted it yet though.

  2. Way back in the early days of Onyxia they hotfixed the encounter permanently so that when she’s flying her hitbox remains on the ground underneath her. It’s hard as hell due to camera angles but you can “melee” her if you’re under her belly. The reasoning behind this was a raid with any melee DPS would be severely handicapped in phase 2 which is 30% of her HP and that’s A LOT of HP for only ranged attackers to deal.

    As for doing it with a hunter, I’d say you’re better off going survival and maybe tanking her yourself because no pet regardless of buffing and stats has the armor/mitigation to not get killed in 4 or so hits :(
