Onyxia’s Lair Boss Fight Strategy Guide

You’ll find the brand new Onyxia’s Lair instance in Dustswallow Marsh, not far from Theramore.  The old classic instance has been revamped into a new more difficult level 80 instance.  The new Onyxia’s Lair instance is part of Patch 3.2.2.  In it, you’ll fight the Broodmother in three phases.  You’ll be able to pick up the same loot that was in the original Onyxia’s Lair instance, although the stats and item levels have been updated.  Loot in the new Onyxia’s Lair instance now falls between item levels 232 and 245, depending on whether you’re running the 10-man or 25-man version.  There’s also a super speedy mount (Brood of Onyxia) which drops for extremely lucky groups running the new Onyxia’s Lair instance.

The Broodmother has 4.8 million health points.  Here’s a quick Onyxia’s Lair instance strategy guide to help you defeat the Broodmother.

Onyxia’s Lair Instance Strategy Guide: Phase 1

• The first phase of the new Onyxia’s Lair instance is your basic tank and spank.
• The Broodmother uses her abilities Flame Breath, Cleave, Wing Buffet, and Tail Sweep during this phase.
• Keep your tank positioned in front of the Broodmother.
• You’ll need 2-3 healers (for the 10-man version), who should stay on the Broodmother’s sides.
• Healers will have to heal tanks through Flame Breath and Wing Buffet.  For this reason, ranged DPS and melee DPS should also stand on both sides of the Broodmother.  You can’t afford to have your DPS in the way of either of these attacks.
• When the Broodmother gets down to 65% health, phase two of the new Onyxia’s Lair instance begins.

Onyxia’s Lair Instance Strategy Guide: Phase 2

• When phase 2 begins, the Broodmother spawns Onyxian Whelps.  Most of your DPS should focus on the whelps and wipe them out first before switching back to the Broodmother.  More whelps will spawn every minute and a half until phase 2 of Onyxia’s Lair is complete.
• During phase 2, the Broodmother uses her abilities Fireball and Breath.  Before she casts Breath, she emotes about taking a deep breath.  This is your cue to get out of the way.  Players hit multiple times by Breath will die.  Fireball does a decent amount of damage, but it’s less of an issue than Breath.
• The Broodmother also spawns an Onyxian Lair Guard about every 30 seconds throughout phase two.  Use your backup tank to tank the guard, and melee DPS should switch to the guard.  Ranged DPS should keep attacking the Broodmother.  Make sure your backup tank has his own healer whenever he’s tanking one of these guards.  The guards have 190,000 health points, and their melee damage is quite substantial.  The added fire damage from their abilities Ignite Weapon and Blast Nova makes them an important part of phase 2.
• When the Broodmother gets down to 40% of her health left, phase 3 of Onxyia’s Lair starts.

Onyxia’s Lair Instance Strategy Guide: Phase 3

• Phase three is where the Broodmother’s abilities Eruption and Bellowing Roar come into play.  She also spawns a few whelps.  Basically phase 3 is another tank and spank fight, similar to phase 1, except you’ve got to stay off the cracks because of Eruption.

1-450 Fishing Leveling Guide

Leveling fishing is one of the simplest things to do on World of Warcraft.  All you need is any pool of water in the game, and leveling fishing is as simple as having a fishing pole.  I suggest you start leveling fishing in any of the capital cities that have bodies of water.  This is because all bodies of water have a minimum “no junk” fishing level.  This means in order to get progress in leveling fishing in a given body of water, you have to be at least a certain level of fishing in order to not catch any junk.  A guide to the “no-junk” fishing levels is included further down in this fishing leveling guide.

1-450 Engineering Leveling Guide

Engineering is one of the more interesting professions, and leveling it can be a lot of fun, but also very expensive.  If you’re power-leveling two professions together, mining goes very well with engineering.  However, the fastest way to level engineering by far, is to buy all the materials on the auction house.  Otherwise, leveling engineering can get pretty complicated once you get deep into it.

Here’s a quick 1-450 Engineering Leveling Guide to get you going.
