Русскоязычная гильдия Экзорсус первой в мире победила последнего босса в Твердыне Крыла Тьмы - Нефариана. Убийство прошло в рейде на 10 человек, поскольку на 25 человек босс забагован и исчезает. Но, судя по словам Близзард, сложность 10 и 25 человек примерно одинаковая.

Финская гильдия Paragon повторила их подвиг на следующий день.

Чёрный Дракон безусловно считается одним из сильнейших и ужасающих существ, которых когда-либо видел мир. Ведомые павшим Великим Драконом, Крылом Смерти (Deathwing), чёрные драконы многие поколения несли опустошение и разорение королевствам людей и эльфов. Однако во время битвы у Грим Батола (около

пятнадцати лет назад), Крыло Смерти был побеждён и уничтожен своими же бывшими товарищами - Великими Драконами. Однако некоторые верят, что Великий левиафан только прячется в уединении, но даже если это правда, то контроль над своими созданиями он уже утратил. После исчезновения Крыла Смерти его старший сын став взрослым собрал и возглавил свой ослабленный народ. Ловкий и хитрый Нефарион объявил сгоревшую крепость Пика Чёрной Скалы и прилегавшие к ней земли своей территорией. Там он с помощью Драконидов ведёт долгую и кровопролитную войну с Рагнаросом и его войсками за полный контроль над горой и её окрестностями.

Нефарион поклялся уничтожить Рагнароса. В данный момент у него больше сил, чем когда-либо было у его отца Крыла Смерти. Однако даже Великий Дракон пал, и никто не рискует предположить, добьется ли успеха Нефарион, или его постигнет судьба отца. Безумное стремление Нефариона к неограниченной власти вызвало гнев Красных Драконов, которые всегда являлись злейшим врагом Чёрных Драконов. Однако если намерения Нефариона известны, то методы, которыми он хочет достичь их остаются в тени. Ходят слухи, что Нефарион экспериментировал с кровью различных драконов для создания Цветных Драконов, непобедимых воинов. Одним из сильнейших и наиболее верных сподвижников Нефариона является его младшая сестра, Ониксия. Обыкновенно драконы обходятся одним-двумя обликами, но Ониксия будучи умным и очень образованным драконом научилась принимать множество различных обличий, чем активно пользуется для достижения своих целей.

Будучи в человеческом облике Нефарион, превратившись в Виктора Нефариуса заключил союз с Рэндом Черной Рукой, однако несмотря на видимое равенство в соглашении он лишь использует орка и весь его клан в своих целях.

Великий Красный дракон Ваэлестраз поклялся охотиться на Нефариона до конца своих дней и отдать жизнь за его уничтожение.

Босы всегда имели уровень +3, т.е. для нефа это будет 88 лвл. Следовательно навык снятия шкур нужен 540. Даже если для нефа требуется навык 550, кроме меча из ЗГ Зульский резак и кинжала из УБРС со Зверя Живодер Вентурона , есть еще энчат на перчи снятие шкур. Этого достаточно, без воргенской прибавки к навыку, чтобы ошкурить любого.

Once all bosses are dead the orb in front of Atramedes will light up and need to be actived by clicking on it.. A platform in the lava will rise up with a little RP with a zombie Onyxia standing in the pit and Nefarian flying around.

Players will jump into the pit to engage Onyxia with Nefarian flying down soon after.

There actually havent been any tactics regarding this boss so far, so heres..

How to: Nefarian (Normal)

Boss is split in to 3 phases, p1 with nefa/ony, p2 with magma/nefa flying/adds and p3 with nefa/fire.

(Note for 10man: You absolutely NEED 3 healers, unless you have extremely good self heals combined with some luck in phase 2, as you can not reach from one platform to another. And the boss does stupid amounts of aoe damage anyways.)

Phase 1

Fight starts with pulling ony, and the idea here is to nuke nefa as close to 71% as possible but not to 70% and then kill ony.
One tank pull ony to one side of the room, bosses side facing the raid (To make this more clear, look at the minimap. For example, tank ony at the east side of the circle, with her head being south and tail at north. Nefarian on the other side, same thing). Ony does tail lash behind her (~40k physical dmg to clothies, ~50y range), breath in front of her and lightning to her sides (can not be outranged). Nefa has same breath/tail lash, but no lightning to sides.
During phase 1, adds spawn which periodically stack a buff on themselves increasing phys dmg and movement speed, simply cc the adds (fear/trap/root/shackle/whatever) but make sure you do not cc them in front of the bosses breath, as the breath frees them from cc and gives them max energy again. Once the mob runs out of energy, itll die until phase 3.

As mentioned above, tank ony with her side facing the raid. When lightning sparks start forming around ony, turn onys tail towards raid to avoid massive aoe damage. When it ends, turn it back again.

As for dps, melee can go straight for nefa when he lands (unless you are very melee heavy), rest of the dps get ony down to around 10-15% (tank can whittle her down) then move to nefa. The thing about dps'ing nefa is that everytime you take 10% of his health off, he does a ridiculous aoe nuke to everyone in the raid, which is unavoidable (hits for ~105k before resists). Make sure you use nature res aura/totem, def cooldowns and be topped off before it hits (the boss will emote as well). After 2 electrocutes and nefa at ~71-74%, kill ony to trigger p2.

Edit: If you feel like you are wiping due to staying in P3 too long, do this. Get ony VERY close to death (<100k), get nefa to 70% to trigger the third electrocute then IMMEDIATELY kill ony. The third electrocute will hit approximately as nefa starts moving towards the middle of the room to start phase 2 and you should have enough time to heal the raid up to not die to the lava (pop tranquility/hymn/even more cooldowns if need be). This way you can move one electrocute from p2/p3 off and nuke nefa more in p2.

Phase 2

Nefa flies to air and the platform sinks in to magma. Split the raid in to 3 evenly and jump on the pillars and IMMEDIATELY start interrupting the adds spawned on the pillars. Melee nuke down the adds on pillars, ranged nuke either nefa or the adds, depending whether you want to nuke nefa down more during p2 and eating another electrocute (remember, ~100k aoe on top of already nefa spamming random aoe). Nefa himself will simply spam random shadow bolt thingies which have a tiny aoe upon landing, so spread on top of the pillar to minimize damage (Needs confirming, not 100% sure about whether they have aoe at all). Phase 2 ends when the last add dies.
(If you didnt nuke nefa during p2, he will still be at ~71% hp, otherwise, you could theoretically even kill him in phase 2 if you can just eat all the aoe thrown at you while keeping at least one add alive. Dont know if theres an enrage timer or anything or if he comes down at some point regardless of adds, but if he does, its a very forgiving timer)

Phase 3

Nefa has the same abilities as in p1 and one additional ability which will resurrect the adds in phase 1 back. The new ability will spread fire on the ground, which will reignite the adds from p1 back. The idea is to have one tank, one dps who can snare (frost mages are the #1 for this) and one heal kite all the adds around while attempting to keep them out of fire to have them deactivate for a little while, resetting their stacks of their self buff (The snaring DPS doesnt have to help the tank 24/7. Warrior tanks can do it by themselves with Piercing Howl). Pay attention to the flying meteors which indicate where the fire will land, move accordingly and reset the mobs as much as possible (Unless your DPS is very good or you took nefa down close to ~50% already during phase 2, you HAVE to reset their stacks or they will mow down your raid at some point.)

The rest of the raid nuke nefa, tank him in the middle of the room, watch out for tail lash/breath (still reignites adds!), move out of fire if needed and remember, for every 10% nuked, 100k aoe to everyone. If/When fire spreads to the middle, move accordingly, but make sure you dont have nefa breathing at the adds.
As long as you have either very good dps or your add group kites successfully, nefa will go down eventually.

Honestly, in my opinion, this fight is an example of bad mechanics from blizzard. Being the "final" first tier boss (not counting sinestra), the boss mainly rotates around incredibly amounts of aoe damage at set intervals. Its like they ran out of ideas how to make the boss hard and just went with the "Damn, how do we make this boss harder? I know, lets add in seemingly random ~100k aoe nukes to the whole raid! Huzzah!"

During the phase 2 > 3 transition, Nef will cast Shadow of Cowardice on anyone who is still standing on the pillar when he lands ... so make sure you jump down when you are supposed to so you don't get 1 shotted.

Комментарий от 76689

In order to fight the raid wide aoe Электрический удар, I find Зеркало разбитых отражений seems be a lifesaver, an additional 25% resistance cuts off incoming lightning damage is enormous, this is especially critical for the off tank who is on add duty that often times get zapped and one-shotted by the skeletons. My question is this. Since it's on a 1-min cd, the raid could theoretically time its use every 10% when the lighting strikes. I wonder has anyone ever tried it, and perhaps recommend it for the whole raid to purchase it? I'm considering to demand my guild to equip it for progressions and maybe future heroic mode encounters. Some actual usage comment would be appreciated.

I need a timer for Shadowblaze. DBM is announcing Shadowblaze after it goes off but it's not including a timer. By the time it's been announced it's already too late. I need to know 3-5 seconds before it goes off.

Shadowblaze follows a set timer of:

0:00 - First bolt
0:30 - 2nd
0:55 - 3rd
1:15 - 4th
1:30 - 5th
1:40
1:50
2:00
2:10 etc.

BigWigs addon does this but I'm not crazy about BigWigs and would prefer a different timer mod.

Комментарий от pthor1234

Since warlock fear is no longer a viable option to control the adds in phase 1, I (Frost DK) was in charge of kiting them until they de-animate. What seemed to work best for me, was to do 2 blood strikes on Onyxia right at the start, then swap over to blood presence. Do this to have 2 blood runes pop up when the adds start coming - it is very helpful. Then I would have our hunter MD the first add to me, Death and Decay the second add, Outbreak the third add, and howling blast the 4-6th adds.

You will eventually get a feel for it, and it can be very effective to let healers aggro some of the skeletons with healing aggro while non-slowed skeletons are running towards you from the MD / DnD / Outbreak, and hit multiple skeletons with Howling blast at once, as well as be able to get some distance. Once you have 2 or so howling blasts worth of aggro on all skeletons, you can swap to Unholy presence for the additional run speed.

At this point, circle around then and group them up as tight as possible, and then right as the first skeleton dies, go in to the pack of them and use hungering cold. This will freeze them in place long enough for 3 more to die, and it least the last two with 4% and ~12% energy. Chains of ice root them both, and all the skeletons should die in a nice small clump, making it very easy for your add tank in Phase 3. If you have a warlock with Shadowfury, get them to pop it on the group right as the first add dies, and you might only have one add left when Hungering cold wears off.

I made a simple focus macro and hit that when I have the first skeleton targeted, that way I know when he is about to die, so I don't end up leaving a pile of skeletons everywhere. That made a big difference, since it can be cumbersome to tab through 6 targets to find the lowest energy.

As a tank, I find getting initial aggro on Nef himself to be VERY annoying if you're doing it from range. When I taunt, hit with a judgement, and hit with AS, he still seems to enjoy dropping aggro and switching targets for one melee strike, regardless of whether or not they even touched him (he one-shot one of our add-kiters on multiple occasions). The only solution I've found to guarantee he WON'T do this is to make sure you (the tank) are in melee range when he lands, then start backing up.
Not exactly fun, I'd have much rather been able to avoid having both tanks get hit by a "buffed" dragon due to ony/nef proximity, but alas. You have been warned, it can happen to anybody.

After getting Nefarian down yesterday for the first time, some tips for general survival!

During phase 1, we had a fire mage and me (ret paladin) kiting the adds. My job was to look after any that spawned in the north whilst the mage took the adds spawning in the south, I repentanced one and turn eviled the other (usually only had 2 to worry about) and after that we chain cc'd them down, kiting them in tight circles when CC broke to ensure they all died on one spot. The mage took the aggro, while I was ready with a Hand of Protection for him, as well as some heals. If I had to HoP him, I immediately applied Righteous Fury and dropped a Consecration and Divine Storm, with taunt ready for any loose adds. While not a conventional kiting combination, it worked very well for our raid group as I am currently threat capped when dpsing so was more useful kiting than auto-attacking Nef or Ony.

Phase 2 - Anyone with bubble, iceblock, cloak of shadows and so on, save your damage reduction or cancellation spells/techniques for phase 2 if they are on a cool down of greater than 2 mins. Depending on whether or not your group is doing 1 or 2 electrocute during phase 2, either get everyone use the cooldowns at once for 1 electrocute or alternate who is using their cooldown if you have the dps to do a 2nd.

Phase 1 and 2 are not dps races as such, ensure you will have all your best DPS increasing cooldowns for phase 3.

For cooldown use throughout the fight, if you've got a priest aoe bubble on the ground or a paladin's Divine Guardian during an electrocute and you are covered by it, don't waste a personal cooldown, save it for the next electrocute.

If you are a dps class with healing spells, remember that a living dps doing lower dps does a lot more damage in a fight than a high dps dieing a preventable death! If you have a warlock get some Healthstones on the go. Paladins have LoH, both for themselves or a fellow raid member in need (try and time it so bubble is available for phase 2 though, usually LoH is only necessary during phase 3 as the damage in P1 is light). Mages can Evocate for health as well as mana. Have a health pot rather than a dps pot. Use bandages - this is best done just before an Electrocute in P1 or P3 as you can get around 5 ticks of a bandage channeled on yourself before any damage interrupts it.

All the various methods of healing mean that prior to an Electrocute, everyone should be topped up to the max, even if you have to OOM yourself (as Ret paladins may do with FoL) to survive the Electrocute damage, it's better to be alive and regenerating mana just after than licking the floor.

Anyway, I had a more structured explanation planned, but my time has been cut short and I've got to go now! I hope some of this may have been beneficial, though tbh it's mostly common sense :)

Phase two will have a Chromatic Prototype add spawn onto each of the 3 pillards. They must be interrupted, but to note that they are lvl 85, so you only need +5%hit

In regards to the heroic version of this encounter:

Domination - Phases 1 and 3

Господство

During phases 1 and 3, random players will get 'dominated' by Nef's 'dominate' and given 2 abilities.

*the first ability (1, by default) breaks the mind control
*, the second ability (2, by default) gives the player a stacking buff up to 150; as you increase your stacks, you gain more stacks per application, so that you get ~30 stacks for one use of Stolen Power by the time you get to 120 stacks. The buff increases damage done by 5% * number of stacks for 18 seconds. 150 stacks increases damage done by 750% for 18 seconds.

While dominated, players will move toward a portal, if the player reaches the portal they die instantly. Players may be slowed - earthbind totem, frost trap etc., so that they may stack the buff to higher levels before breaking the mind control.

NOTE 1: ~~as of this writing, you can use RP walk (default numpad /) before being dominated, resulting in a slow enough movement that you can easily stack the damage buff to 150.~~ Has been fixed.

NOTE 2: if you are dominated during an electrocute, you will not take damage.

NOTE 3: it takes a second or so for the game to register raid-wide buffs (ie - resistance aura) when you release domination; if you release right as an electrocute happens, there is a good chance you will be 1 shot without the resistance.

NOTE 4: as the ability which breaks mind control will usually be bound to 1, you will want to avoid spamming abilities you normally have bound to 1 while Nef is casting domination.

Due to the enrage timer on Nef, not stacking the buff is not an option. Healers may choose to stack the buff or not, it does increase healing, and, for example, with 150 stacked an efflorescence will full heal everyone standing in it every ~2 ticks.

Explosive Cinders - Phase 2

Взрывчатая субстанция

Explosive Cinders is randomly placed on several players (my only experience is 25 man, in which, iirc, 4 players get the debuff). When this debuff expires, the player will knockback anyone within ~10-12 yards (not certain of the exact range). Due to this, the player(s) with Explosive Cinders must jump off the platform into the lava, far enough way so they won't knock the remaining players on the platform off.

NOTE 1: when in the lava, do not jump. Every time you jump, you will gain an additional stack of Magma.

NOTE 2: this is cast several times during phase 2 (not sure of the interval between casts), and may be cast as the lava is residing - you still need to stay away from raid members if you have the debuff when the lava is down.

The knockback knocks back extremely far. We had people knocked to other platforms.

Additional Notes

*Walking through fire in p3 while dominated will still cause the fire to grow; cancel MC if you're going to walk through fire.

*The adds in p3 tend to have huge spike damage and, along with electrocute, will often be destroying your kiter. We had 3 (+1 on occasion) out of 7 healers dedicated to focusing on this tank. You will need to use Blessing of Sacrifice/Pain Suppression etc. when adds have recently been rez'd and many are hitting your tank.

*We used a holy paladin with righteous fury to pull adds to the tank. Simply healed and ran slightly ahead of the kiter.

*At current gear levels, you will not be able to push Nef to 70% before phase 2.

*Phase 2 is by far the most difficult phase for healing, so you will not be able to push Nef to 70% (or whatever your next threshold electrocute is, assuming somehow you did get Nef below 70 p1) during this phase.

*More than likely, if you need to use a healthstone, you'll use it phase 2.

*All information was taken strictly from 25 man.

*All raid members should use personal cooldowns for electrocute: Barkskin, Shield Wall, Feint, Raptor Strike (glyph) etc. as much as possible.

*Acquiring Зеркало разбитых отражений for the electrocutes/having to stand in lava with Explosive Cinders is highly recommended. Useful for most end tier bosses.

Found an odd problem on Nef tonight. P1 adds were randomly running across the room and aggroing onto the tanks for no apparent reason. DK and Pally tanks, neither using AoE, single target only on their respective tanking targets. They don't appear to go for anyone else in the raid who isn't trying to CC them.. Anyone else seen this happening?

In this encounter, does Nefarian hit harder than Ony, or are they at about the same damage (with their melee and breath attack)? Gonna be tank healing for this soon, so I'm curious.

In ph2 its very handy to get your warlock on the platform where you jump on in the start of the fight. You can easiliy drop your teleport pat on the edge there , and when onxyia dies , walk to the wall at the platform to get in range and instantly keep walking so you jump on the platform , even before there is lava

My guild downed him last night. A bit late but we started out late too :P

Anyways...
We ran with a _4_ healer set up (10man normal). We had been wiping on him for about 2-3 full raid nights when we finally decided to try a 4 healer set up since our healers always were running low on mana and couldn't keep up with the immense damage output.

We downed him on the first try with that setup.

It's strange that I have not seen any tactics suggesting a 4 healer set-up for 10-man.

Комментарий от mysticalos

something key that is not mentioned about phase 2 mechanic, it has a built in failsafe. From the start of phase 2 to end, nef can only take 15% worth of his health in damage, anything more and he auto pushes, regardless of chromatics or 2 and a half minute auto push (which btw, 3 min i believe applies to 10 man 25 ma seems to be 2:30 on normal, heroic seems to be more like 4 min, it's wierd but there are variations)

So basically, phase 2 ends if any of following happen.

1. Nef takes 15% damage
2. All 3 chromatics die on normal
3. ANY of the chromatics die on heroic
4. after set time (variable based on difficulty/size)

This is very important when doing the achievement in meta. It means that for him to actually go below 50% before phase 2 ends, he has to be below 65% when phase 2 starts. Since pushing him below 70% auto explodes onyxia 5 seconds later. the ideal strat is to push him below 70%, then, kill onyxia within the 5 seconds he's channeling electrocute, make sure she does 1-2 seconds before it goes off, so she doesn't explode, once she dies, phase 1 ends as soon as lava fills room, which means you have until then to get him to < 65%. this is easier then it sounds since he's already probably at 68 or 67 by end of electrocute cast, if you held off ony til last second, you only have another 2-3 percent to burn while he walks from hopefully close to wall, to center of room, then takes a couple seconds to lift off ground and fill room.
The achievement itself will turn red, indicating failure, it's WRONG. As long as he was below 65% when phase 2 started, you have not failed. To ensure success however, shoot to push him using number 1 above in my list. That is the way to know for sure you were successful. In other words, if phase 2 ends when he reaches 51% with chromatics up, you failed, because that means he was at 66% when phase 2 started, and 15% auto push ended the phase before achievement completed. If phase 2 ends when he'sa t 49% with chromatics up, you were successful, achievement success. Finish off chromatics AFTER you pushed him 15% of his health and know for sure achievement successful

A tip for groups facing problems in P1.

A hunter with a tenacity pet, glyphed for improved mending and unlimited mis-direct to the pet, is able to take care of all the adds without much problem. Pets can also use cower and other defensive CDs to stay alive when damage spikes toward the end.

Naturally, a dedicated healer is needed to keep up the pet, but the combination of easy threat and the ability to let all the adds die in the same place (so the tank add doesn't burst a blood vessel in P3) makes hunter pet tanking the most clean solution for P1.

A hunter using pet tanking should stay on adds while they are up to ensure a constant stream of threat to the pet. Since the threat from MD only lasts for a short while, healer aggro may pull off some adds just as they are about to "die".

Naturally, the hunter should also dismiss the tenacity pet and summon a DPS one quickly as soon as the adds "die".

For tanks having trouble kiting in P3
My guild kept progressing flawlessly into P3.

We tanked Нефариан in the middle facing the 10 o'clock position, as the adds from P1 were placed in the 12 o'clock position. Both tanks progressed clockwise to minimize fire exposure and maximize kiting room.

However the timing of the fire to the adds were an issue, and the tank had trouble pulling them at the right moment.

We got a suggestion from a friend to use BigWigs instead of DBM. As soon as we switched add-ons, we killed him. The timers and the "more visible" effect was clutch. Hands down now the guild favorite Raiding Add-on.

Комментарий от ZelosRaine

While the strategies posted here are good, I haven't seen much about the specifics of kiting for each class or about possible synergies. While I can't speak for every raid situation, I can say that, having just learned tonight how to kite these adds on my Frost DK (our Frost Mage wasn't available), there are some tips and tricks aimed at 10 mans that can't afford a third tank.

Obviously reading a strat isn't as a good as watching a video, but I don't have one of those for this fight. :(

What I can say is that, if a Frost DK or any other class with similar ranged slows (mage, hunter, etc) is having trouble, here is what helped me.

1) Remember, above all else, they (seem) to stack their haste and attack power buff by HITTING YOU. I know wowhead says they get a buff over time, but that is not what I saw. The first phase seems to be them hitting you. Therefore, it is imperative that you not let them hit you. Great ways to actually do this are to remember to refresh chillbains early on those mobs you picked up early as it will have worn off by the time the 5th and 6th add are up and getting ANY raid member with a stun (warrior, pally, etc) to stun them. Remember, speed debuff doesn't work if they hit you; they have to be STUNNED for you to get away.

2) You cannot, unless you are uber pro, kite them by yourself. Our Hungering Cold is on too long a cooldown. Having stuns from pallys and warriors helps alot. You should save your own Hungering Cold and (hope that you have one) your mage's Ring of Frost for the final 30% of their energy.

Basically, you do the following:
Drop down, dps Ony for a few secs.
Switch to Blood Pres.
~~Howling Blast~~ Chains of Ice mobs as they come up.
~~If a mob is too close to you in comparison to the others, Chains of Ice it.~~ as the mobs start to group up and their Chillbains from the Chains wear off, Howling Blast them.
Try to run in a circle to gather the mobs behind you and then use any speed boost/leap of faith you have (I am a Worgen so, "tee hee") to get out in front of the pack in the direction you are supposed to drop them. If you don't have a speed boost or even if you do, this a perfect time for a Pally etc to stun them.
Once you are where you need to drop them, pop your Ice Bound Fortitude, run through the pack, and hit your Hungering Cold as soon as you are sure you will get them all (this needs to happen as soon as they touch you as you will die VERY fast if you try to tank them).
Watch the timer and have your mage (cross fingers for a mage) drop their Ring of Frost with 3 seconds left, meaning that they get insta frozen again as they break out.
Once that wears off, simply tank the one or two who are still alive, making sure they drop right on top of the others (your phase three add tank will thank you).
If you don't have a mage, just stun them as soon as they break it/kite them in a tight circle and have healers use a cooldown. A few should die as your Hungering Cold breaks with more to follow.

Best of luck!

Edit: Not a PvP, so I never realized until I came back to kill him the next week that Chains of Ice does not have a cooldown. :P

This comment is meant to help people doing it on 10 man hard mode, especially add tanks, and is from a warrior off tank point of view.

Got this down tonight with 2 days of wiping, although we had a lot of wipes it was fun for everyone and I strongly suggest doing this hard mode before omnotron defense system if your healers and tanks are capable. It is a lot less awareness based and more of an execution fight - but one mistake can become a wipe and it is very unforgiving.

Our comp was a paladin main tank, warrior off tank.
DPS were MM hunter, Assas rogue, Feral druid, Arcane mage, and Shadow priest.
Healers were Holy paladin, Discipline priest, and Resto shaman, all with four piece.

Dominion was handled with AoE snares, such as frost trap, earthbind totem, and most importantly, crippling poision as crippling is a 70% snare and makes the entire difference.

First phase was pretty simple, I vigilance our paladin healer with righteous fury, and pick up Onyxia, bringing her to the right side of the pit, positioning does not matter as long as both dragons are separated for their buff. Pick up each Bone Construct as the Onyxia tank, letting them hit the paladin a couple of times at the beginning is fine. I suggest not spreading rend. Each time Onyxia does her flame breath, Stun the Bone Constructs on each breath, glyphed it should be up each time. Everything else stays the same with Electrocutes from Onyxia's side hitting extremely hard.
At around 2 million HP, we AoE CC'd the constructs, in our case a Ring of Frost from our mage. Note that if your mage gets Dominioned and you step into the ring, you will get frozen and Onyxia will deselect you, often causing a wipe.
All the adds die about 5 seconds after Onyxia dying, so there are no worries about them during the second phase.
We did not push a crackle or touch Nefarian during phase 1.

Phase 2 is also pretty simple, we split our raid with 4-3-3, with a back up healer on each platform. In our case, the shadow priest, feral druid, and prot paladin were on different platforms. Each platform should have a dedicated back up interrupter. Mirror of Broken Images was absolutely amazing from this point. We used them for half our raid.
When you get cinders, wait for the debuff to tick to about 4 seconds. Use the trinket, start swimming into the lava, and watch it explode (Although for the first couple of attempts I'd play it safe and start heading into the lava at about 6 seconds). The resistance on the trinket makes this mechanic much more easier to heal through, and is in our opinion much more valuable than mana regen or a couple hundred DPS, as DPS and mana was not an issue on our kill. We bloodlusted during this phase to make it end as soon as possible as it's definately the most healing intensive phase. Do note that you should have a good balance of DPS on each platform, once the first Chromatic Prototype dies, the lava starts sinking and anyone on a platform will take damage after the first dominion on phase 3.

Phase 3 will be the most demanding on your healer and tanks, the main tank must always prioritize movement on your off tank, as a tail swipe or a breath will cause unnecessary damage or adds resetting. The challenge of the main tank will be to move out of fire (the first fire almost always followed him) and to have a personal CD up for every single crackle, as we had to use all the external cooldowns on the add tank.
Using Sindragosa's Flawless Fang and the BH trinket made me not need a large CD on every other one. You can use both trinkets at the same time, providing a whopping 50%+ personal CD for every other one.

I suggest saving Shield block for each crackle too (It was up for every one) as specced into shield mastery it reduced the damage even more. If you're a paladin, I strongly suggest glyphing into Divine Protection as you are most likely going to die from either nefarian's breath or a crackle.

Each crackle had a raid CD, and each tanks had a CD.
90%: raid-rallying cry, tanks-trinkets/DP
80%: raid-trinkets, tanks-Shield Wall/GoA
70%: raid-power word:barrier, tanks-trinket/DP
60%: raid-trinkets, tanks-Bubble Sac/Ardent
50%: raid-divine guardian, tanks-trinket/DP
40%: raid-trinkets, tanks-Shield Wall/LoH
30%: raid-spirit link totem, tanks-trinket/DP
20%: raid-rallying cry, tanks-Pain suppresion/GoA
10%: raid-anything left over, tanks-anything left over.

So as you see we had to coordinate CD's, and some attempts because of RNG with DPS we didn't have a CD for the raid.

When it comes to add tanking, the first Shadowblaze should re activate all of the adds, because if you were tanking them in phase 1, they would be in a neat pile around where Onyxia died. I strongly suggest letting the adds stay in the pile of shadowblaze, having their energy bars resetting for about 10 seconds, as done incorrectly and not letting them reset for 10 seconds, they will all die at the third shadowblaze, thus making them either scattered because you were kiting them away from the third one, or them dying and instantly respawning again. Giving them a 10 second period of wallowing in the fire will make them despawn after the third shadowblaze and give your healer a lot of breathing room before the fourth one, which will ideally reactivate them all.

After each shadowblaze, the timers between them will become faster and faster until they're at a point where a shadowblaze will come in 10 second intervals(need a confirmation, as I'm not sure on that) but they will not spawn any faster.

The key to making sure that you don't run out of room towards the end, is to move at about 2 seconds left on the shadowblaze timer, and not at the 5 second mark, when DBM usually yells at you. After kiting them away from the shadowblaze, it's usually a good idea to immediately stun them, as long as you're about 10+yards away, to reduce damage taken as shockwave or holy wrath, as long as they all don't miss, is pretty much a 100% damage reduction from melee attacks.

A thing to note about stunning though, is to NOT run before the stun duration falls off IF one of your stuns miss. Reason being is that if you panic and run away because you stunned them and a shadowblaze timer is incredibly close, there is a chance that the shadowblaze will spawn underneath the add that was not stunned, so while the adds that were stunned come out of the stun and start following you, the shadowblaze that was underneath the add that wasn't stunned probably spawned while they were running towards you, and will reset their energy and it's almost guaranteed it's a wipe, depending on how many stacks of the damage increase they had when they reset.

When positioning the adds, keep your back towards the direction you are going to kite, and the adds making a fan shape in front of you. The reason for this, is that if you keep your back towards the edge of the pit, and the adds between you and Nefarian, they will try to get to the sides of you, so that they have room for themselves (a thing all mobs do if you're used to AoE tanking) and if a shadowblaze comes and you start running, the add is likely to be trying to get to the position where they were heading towards while they were funneling around you, and then start running towards you, becoming a likely reset of their energy bar. The most frustrating time when an add resets is when one or two of them do, and 3 of them don't. It makes it much more harder to pick them up and kite shadowblazes from then on unless you purposely reset them, obviously becoming more damage that the healers need to heal on you.

Paladin healers are my favorite for this (<3 josh), they have a speed increase when they pop holy radiance, and strong single tank healing and strong output cooldowns such as Avenging Wrath, Guardian of Ancient Kings, and Divine Favor when the add buff starts getting into the 10's. They also have righteous fury for when the adds die scattered. When it comes to the positioning of the healer, have them in front of you, but closer to Nefarian than you (at about 7 o' clock) and try to have him always in the front of your kite path. Healing will get tougher and tougher the longer the adds are up, so he is going to stop to hard cast a lot more the farther you get into a set of adds and will start lagging behind, sometimes ending up at about 11 o' clock. When the adds finally die, this is the healer's que to start making distance again and to regen as much as possible, as a shadow blaze is going to come soon. Use dominion to your advantage, as after dominion wears off it will give you a run speed increase.

If you end up kiting too fast and reaching fire towards the end, it may be a good idea to wait and keeping the adds in the shadowflame for 2 shadowflames before you start kiting again, but I do not know if this will work as I have not tried it (theoretically it should).

Although this is months behind, I hope it will help you and your raid get a better understanding of the fight. Enjoy the fight! It was definitely my favorite fight this tier :)

Looks like Kael'thas has given him the lesson about setbacks.

Комментарий от 852587

Since patch 4.2, is the only thing, that can make some problems to ur raid. Everything else is radically nerfed.

Our tanks seem to be getting 60k breaths ticks in normal 10 man version. Bug or working as intend?

How can nefarian walk around with his head chopped off in org! This makes no sense.

Комментарий от 336831

Why doesn't he have stiches on his neck? He's undead, like Onyxia, and we've decapitated both of them thousands of times...

Nefarian 10m or Nerf-arian as they now call him, is super easy.

The fight focuses around 3 phases.

The object is to burn Onyxia to 25% then switch to nef while only the Onyxia tank is attacking Ony, going through 2 crackles. Each crackle occurs at 10% past Nef's hp and does approx 60-70k raidwide aoe dmg. Tanks dps and healers should make sure they are topped up before pushing one. or be ready to use a survival Cooldown.

Phase1. have the kiter pickup adds and run them away from nef/onyxia ( a frost DK is preferred because he can blast adds from afar and spec into chillblains for the fight so he never gets hit, being hit by an add will increase its dmg by 100% making you very likely to die. as a Dk kiter you will probly get zapp'd by onxia once or twice. be sure to pop AMS before that occurs and glyph it for 7 seconds. adds fall over in around 30 seconds so go back to ony after that.

Burn Onyxia and ignore nef for the most part. Onyxia should be in the farthest right side of the room past the right pillar, and Nef on the far left one. This prevents the 2 dragons from enraging and killing everyone. The only concern with Phase1 for dps/healers should be staying clear of Onyxia's lighting attacks, this is the Onyxia tanks job. turn ony when she starts sparkling then turn her back. when in doubt, stay behind Onyxia, its far better than being zapped continously.

Phase2. burn the add and interrupt it from casting blast nova, You must have 1 solid 10 second interrupter on each platform and atleast 1 healer on each as well. swimming across the lava may be done but its a very bad idea.

Phase3: the Add tank will need to kite the bone warrior adds around as Nef is faced in a single direction. just tank n spank mainly till nef's dead. BL whenever u feel comfortable and be sure to survive every crackle.

nef has been severly nerfed but can still pose problems for pugs. the main key is just to focus on certain elements.
p1. proper onyxia positioning, purely the tanks job (as long as the dps didnt pull aggro at the start)

p2 making sure everyone moved to the correct platform

p3 ensuring the adds are kited around in a good pattern without being breathed on.

following this will ensure victory.

enjoy.

Now what? Gnome turn evil, and resseruct Nefarian as 'robotic' form? You never know . . .

Комментарий от 490383

Well my guild is doing heroic Nef. With all the Firelands gear out is there any tips or "eazy" ways of doing this boss now? not sure if anything has changed about this boss thought i would ask . also what is the best way of dealing with adds in phase 1 , and what would be the best comp for this fight? again any tips will help :)

Комментарий от 748840

Ok, next time you see Deathwing and his kids playing with the stapler, TAKE IT AWAY FROM THEM. Also, apparently he tried to get liposuction. I don't think it works on dragons, and it just sucked away his entire abdominal cavity.

Nefarian yells: You really have to want it!

I lol'd.

Nefarian still has the best snarkastic lines in WoW.

Комментарий от Euphemia

For anyone interested in a video "guide" for normal still on this one, our 2% wipe should be pretty instructional. Now working on heroic modes on this guy, cause we'd all love "Blackwing's Bane-titles", now wouldn't we?
Flaskaholics vs Nefarian 10m normal
Anyways - best of luck to you all, the fight should be way easier now, with people geared up and such as well.

Электрический удар – Каждый раз, теряя 10% здоровья, Нефариан поражает всех участников рейда "Электрическим ударом", который наносит им 128700 to 131300 ед. урона от сил природы.

Фаза 1. Проснись, сестра!

Нефариан поднимает из мертвых свою сестру Ониксию, после чего оба дракона атакуют рейд.

Дети Смертокрыла – Когда Нефариан и Ониксия находятся в пределах 50 м друг от друга, они атакуют на 100% быстрее.
Нефариан
- Град костей – Прежде чем Нефариан приземляется в начале первой фазы, он призывает оживших костяных воинов, нанося с каждым призывом 47975 to 53025 ед. урона от темной магии игрокам, находящимся на расстоянии до 50000 м.
  В рейде для 25 игроков Нефариан призывает дополнительных оживших костяных воинов.
- Дыхание темного огня – Дыхание Нефариана наносит 54000 ед. урона от темного пламени всем игрокам в конусе поражения с углом 60 градусов и радиусом 60 м и полностью восстанавливает энергию ожившим костяным воинам, которые попали в зону поражения.
- Удар хвостом – Нефариан бьет хвостом противников, которые находятся у него за спиной в конусообразной области углом 60 градусов, нанося им 61250 to 78750 ед. урона и оглушая их на 2 sec.
- Ожившие костяные воины – В начале первой фазы перед посадкой Нефариан призывает оживших костяных воинов. У каждого скелета есть индикатор энергии. Запас энергии постепенно падает. Когда запас энергии падает до нуля, оживший костяной воин погибает. Однако способности Нефариана "Дыхание темного пламени" и "Пламя тени" способны восполнять запас энергии скелета.
  - Усиливающиеся удары – Ожившие костяные воины со временем становятся более сильными. Наносимый ими урон увеличивается на 200%, а скорость их передвижения – на 15%. Эффект суммируется.
Ониксия
- Электрическая энергия
  Ониксия постоянно накапливает энергию, получая значительный заряд от каждого "Электрический удара" Нефариана. Накопив максимальное количество энергии, Ониксия взрывается от электрической перегрузки, убивая всех игроков.
- Искровой разряд – Находящиеся на боках Ониксии электрические сферы разряжаются, нанося 31200 to 32800 ед. урона от сил природы всем игрокам в пределах 60 м.
- Дыхание темного огня – Дыхание Ониксии наносит 54000 ед. урона от темного пламени всем игрокам в конусе поражения с углом 60 градусов и радиусом 60 м и полностью восстанавливает энергию ожившим костяным воинам, попавшим в зону поражения.
- Удар хвостом – Ониксия бьет хвостом противников, которые находятся у нее за спиной в конусе поражения углом 60 градусов, нанося им 61250 to 78750 ед. урона и оглушая их на 2 sec.
- Электрическая перегрузка – Накопив максимальное количество энергии, Ониксия взрывается от электрической перегрузки, нанося 855000 to 1045000 ед. урона от сил природы всем игрокам в зале.

Фаза 2: Дерзкие смертные!

Когда Ониксию убивают, Нефариан взлетает в воздух и наполняет комнату магмой. Относительно безопасными остаются три платформы, на каждой из которых появляется по хроматическому прообразу.

[Chromatic Prototype] – На каждой платформе появляется по хроматическому прообразу. Они остаются на месте и используют заклинание "Вспышки огненной звезды".
- Вспышка огненной звезды – Хроматические прообразы произносят заклинание "Вспышка огненной звезды", которое наносит 60900 to 79100 ед. урона от огня раз в 2 сек. всем противникам.
Шквал темного пламени – Находясь в воздухе, Нефариан опаляет огнем случайных игроков, нанося 36000 to 44000 ед. урона от темного пламени.

Фаза 3: Вы всё никак не умрете!

После смерти всех хроматических прообразов лава опускается, а Нефариан вновь спускается на землю, чтобы завершить бой.

Дыхание темного огня – Дыхание Нефариана наносит 54000 ед. урона от темного пламени всем игрокам в конусе поражения с углом 60 градусов и радиусом 60 м и полностью восстанавливает энергию ожившим костяным воинам, которые попали в зону поражения.
Удар хвостом – Нефариан бьет хвостом противников, которые находятся у него за спиной в конусообразной области углом 60 градусов, нанося им 61250 to 78750 ед. урона и оглушая их на 2 sec.
Вспышка пламени тени – Нефариан вызывает пожар, который быстро распространяется, нанося 50000 ед. урона от темного пламени всем игрокам в радиусе 4 м и воскрешая оживших костяных воинов.
Ожившие костяные воины – Ожившие костяные воины могут снова ожить на третьей фазе. У каждого скелета есть индикатор энергии. Запас энергии постепенно падает, однако способности "Дыхание темного пламени" и "Пламя тени" восполняют его. Скелет погибает, когда запас энергии падает до нуля.
- Усиливающиеся удары – Ожившие костяные воины со временем становятся более сильными. Наносимый ими урон увеличивается на 200%, а скорость их передвижения – на 15%. Эффект суммируется.
