Solo Onyxia?

Can a Blood DK solo Onyxia?

Thinking of trying for the mount.

Thanks!

Maybe. the air phase would be the tough part though.
I think it would take forever. you would only really be able to use outbreak to dps her in the air phase

tried it and failed. she couldnt kill me but i had a problem with the whelps. the amount that come at you is so random sometimes 5 sometimes 20 so those are hard to take down and by the time u do take them down more are coming lol so i wasnt able to do it without someone else. i soloed lich king easier
I think they changed it w/ the Ony revival such that ya can't melee her anymore in p2. I'll have to re-check that though. W/o being able to melee, p2 would last so long I doubt its worth the time investment; adds pile up way too fast, etc..
You can't melee the boss NOW in p2.You have to do this with full dps gear.Crimson scourge is very helpful for the fight.Killing the whelps fast is the key to survive p2.Keep Frost fever on boss .Use all outbreaks on boss.DC boss whenever you can in p2.Have to be very patient.P2 will last for about 20 mins.
P1 and P3 easy mode.No tips for those phase.
Not very hard fight.just boring.
Just did it, yeah can't melee her in p2 anymore :/

Glyph of pest/BB is ur friend here, as is MoBI. I ignored the whelps since they seemed to have a fixed max # of spawns that just gets refreshed if you kill them (and they are nice Pest bots and DS fodder anyways). They'll die and repop to the incidental dnd (that flying Ony does get hit by), diseases, HSs, and BBs naturally. Big adds do have to die before they pile up, though.

I haven't used Pest so many times in one fight rofl. Glyph allows ya to spread em to Ony from the ground. Just keep her tracked w/ a focus target and follow under her best ya can while not exposing ur back to the adds.

Pretty much as prev stated- not hard, but p2 is like pulling teeth..
She can be soloed as blood and has been several times. The fight is long as your only means of damaging her in the air are diseases, icy touch, and death coil.

But yes, it is doable, just lengthy and boring.
would it be do-able in frost spec?

frost would handle the adds quite easily & has much better ranged dps than blood.

No. Nothing more to say really but no. Maybe in 5.0.
its "doable."

Ragewyn did it a while back, but I think the kill took him like 25 minutes or something like that, maybe longer but I don't really remember. The thing is, in the air phase the only way you can attack the boss is with DnD, IT, OB, and DC. So it just ends up taking a really long time to burn her down.

Ragewyn's my hero lol
I solo'd it in blood spec. Air phase just takes a while because you can't melee her.

Just slowly bring her health down with diseases/death coils.

Yup just soloed her.

I suggest standing under her while you tank adds, and spread diseases with pestilance.

Phase 1 is retard easy.

Phase 2 is annoying, rotate CD's. Kill the big add right away, keep spreading diseases and drop D&D.

Phase 3, kill the adds right away. Then just stay close to Ony for when she fears.

Do you even have to hide from her breath anymore?

Not really. Don't get me wrong I didn't go out of my way to be hit by the breath.

The only reason I say to stand under her is to spread diseases to her with Pestilence. You can pop AMS and easily nearly negate what little damage it does (like 2 or 3 ticks of 7k damage).

You can easily sidestep away if you do not have AMS up, or just eat the damage if you feel confident enough to take the extra damage.

Just get right back under her and keep on using pestilence, drop D&D ( pretty sure she takes damage from it too).

It was roughly a 25 minute fight, I know I was able to pop army 3 times, twice in air phase and once at the beginning of the ground phase (phase 3).

Phase 1 took about 2 minutes, phase 2 took about 20ish min, phase 3 was the rest of it, about 2 or 3 min.
Like others have said, it can be done but it sucks. Just bring 1-2 friends with you. Probably 1 at your level. I do it with me and two other 80 players; a healer and a DPS.
Done on a warrior! /SMILE /WINK
Bumping threads from over 4 months ago? That must make you cool? I think not.
