Onyxia

[MongoJerry]

The second warder sent the group into a scramble, and since not enough people were prepared for the battle, the warder managed to get several aoe shots off straight off the bat, killing or severely wounding a large number of players. The party recovered somewhat, but the warder made consistent inroads. One member after another was dropping and soon all or nearly all of the melee fighters were dead. As you can see in the screenshot above, nearly two-thirds of the raid party was dead and the remainder was composed largely of squishy cloth-wearers.

Luckily, though, by the time the above screenshot was taken, the warder was down to about 10% health. The warder made more headway into the group, but all the surviving casters spread out and dealt all the damage they could. For my part, I used all my mana, a mana pot, and Inner Focus. Seeing that the warder was down to a sliver of life, I broke out my wand and fired a 21-point damage wand shot, which turned out to be the death blow. I was quite proud of that.



After rezing, buffing, drinking, and otherwise recovering from this second battle, we moved on to the third warder who fell more systematically.



The fourth and final warder was level 62+ and was therefore much tougher to kill than the earlier warders, but by this time, the raid party had the system down and we had no trouble dispatching him as well.



All we had left to do was kill a dragon.
