Nefarian
Phase 1 - Both Dragons
The raid engages Onyxia while Nefarian is off-tanked.
- A tank pulls Onyxia to one edge of the room. When she casts Lightning Discharge (which shoots out from her sides), it must be aimed away from raid members.
- The other tank pulls Nefarian to the opposite side of the room. One healer tags along.
- Animated Bone Warriors spawn randomly and prolificly around the room. A ranged DPS (ideally a hunter) kites these adds until Onyxia dies, keeping them away from both dragons' breaths.
Phase 2 - Nefarian Air Phase
When Onyxia dies, Nefarian takes flight.
- As magma fills the room, each raid member swims to a designated platform.
- A roughly balanced group on each platform fights a Chromatic Prototype, also interrupting its Blast Nova.
- Spread out to avoid Shadowflame Barrage.
- DPS the Chromatic Prototypes evenly, if possible.
- The phase ends at 3 minutes or when the Chromatic Prototypes die.
Phase 3 - Nefarian Grounded
In this final phase, we fight Nefarian in the center of the room.
- Much like in the first phase, the raid must deal with the breath, tail swipe, and a lightning spell (Electrocute) that shoots out Nefarian's side.
- The adds from the first phase respawn. The off-tank picks them up.
- Nefarian will attempt to regen the adds' energy by casting a helpful spell in their direction (Shadowblaze Spark). The offtank's main job is to move the adds away so that spell never reaches them.
- Nefarian's normal frontal breath will similarly empower the adds, so the main tank must point Nefarian away from them, coordinating with the offtank.
