Dragon killing is a challenging endeavor in World of Warcraft. Not for this group – they took less than a minute for their Onyxia kill.
In World of Warcraft Classic much is not as difficult as it was during the original “Vanilla” time. This is mainly due to the fact that players today have much more knowledge and approach content more effectively. That is why some records are currently falling in WoW Classic. Now a group of players has managed to defeat the raid boss Onyxia in record time. The whole fun took less than a minute.
What happened? Onyxia is not necessarily one of the hardest fights in World of Warcraft Classic, but usually requires a few minutes. However, a raid group has now set a crazy record. In just 58 seconds they killed the dragon lady Onyxia – a new record. You can see the video of the kill here:
How did they do it? The special thing about this group is that it largely consists of hunters. The group has a whopping 33 hunters and rains a lot of arrows on the dragon lady.
Each of these hunters has fully collected the T2 set, thus also the 8/8 bonus. This ensures that occasionally a weakness is created on the opponent, increasing the ranged attack power of all attackers. This effect is stackable, which is why the 33 hunters had multiple stacks of this debuff on Onyxia almost permanently, leading to extremely high damage numbers. Since all hunters can feign death, threat was also not a problem – it could be reset at any time.
In the group, there was also a rogue and a warlock, whose armor-reducing debuffs further increased the damage of the hunters.
A warrior and druid as tank and three shamans as healers rounded out the group and ensured this new record time.
Other records are close behind: However, other record hunters are hot on their heels. The second fastest recorded kill is currently at one minute, so only about 2 seconds slower. These record times are likely to improve again when players first have access to new weapons from Ahn’Qiraj – because the next raid will probably open in a few days.
What do you think of this record? A cool achievement with a clever idea? Or nothing really impressive?
