Subject: Ony in 1.10 |

Okay... I hate to do this, because "OMG, ONYXIA DOES MORE DBs!" is such the forum cliche here for lame whining.
But Ony was different tonight.
We were doing our out of cycle Ony run tonight. Normally, we 30 man her on Thursday, today was the "extra" kill to take advantage of her 5 day timer.
Deep breaths just happened today. Over and over.
We went in, same battle plan as always. We don't panic over the occasional random DB - it can be powered through, no biggie.
Got nine DBs the first time.
Went back in, asking if it was a fluke, a vicious circle from slow initial DPS, or what. Started timining it. Was 10-40 sec, each and every time.
Did five attempts on Ony, telling people to back up to the edges, use their FR gear again, etc. We were sucking up DB's like mad.
For us, tonight, in our Ony, DBs were not something you could avoid with good DPS and positioning. They were something that happened, constantly, on a semi-fixed timer.
I don't think this is "impossible" like this (we did land her, albeit understength and hurting), but I am curious if it's intended. I know you CAN live through DBs - we were taking more than ten before each wipe. But it does change the character of the encounter a lot.
I don't think it's impossible like we saw it, but is perhaps like old Hakkar/new Hakker - seems hard until you get used to having to work hard again. I can see it requiring a new strat, better FR gearing, being more "T2 worthy".
But I would like to know... is this the way it's supposed to be? Did we have a horrendous, unprecedented string of bad luck (50 DBs in one night compared to our previous three total on this sever?) Has the encounter been changed to be truly T2? Is this some sort of odd bug? I'm mainly curious for planning purposes - 30 manning Ony was comfortable, but if she's a genuinely non-joke encounter, we might try filling our raid up again.
Tigole?

I would normally provide a link, but I'm just going to cut&paste my response from the General forum.
After reviewing the concerns posted since the patch went live, and through internal investigation, an unintentional change was discovered in the Onyxia encounter concerning increased frequency of her Deep Breath ability. We are currently working on a fix to reduce the frequency of the Deep Breath ability and will be implementing it as soon as possible.
