Lucifron got OMGWTFBBQPWNED!

We downed Lucifron! 39 of my good friends and I went to Molten Core (MC) last night and proceeded to terrorize Ancient Core Hounds, Lava Surgers, and all sorts of magma related bad guys. This was our second real attempt at Lucifron, the first of 9 bosses in MC.

We picked up 3 pieces of epic gear, none of which was useful to me, but I hope to get something on our next run. I was Main Healer (MH) for this run, which means I am responsible for keeping the Main Tank (MT) alive throughout the fight. And I did a very good job, if I do say so myself. The MT is the one person designated to be the punching bag, and usually has the best armor. If the MT dies, we might as well sit down and let the big monster feast on us.

We had our first Onyxia run a week before last Sunday, and though we failed to bring her down, we did get to phase 3 without her taking a single deep breath. Tomorrow we will try again.

For those of you that don't play World Of Warcraft, Onyxia is a very powerful dragon. The Onyxia fight requires 40 people (traditionally), and has 3 stages. In stage 2 she takes to the air and has a particularly devastating flame attack that does a lot of damage over a very large area. You know that this attack is coming when the game tells you that Onyxia is taking a very deep breath. Her fire breath can wipe out 1/3 of your 40 person group. The key to avoiding the flame breath is to keep spaced out so as to not present a group target for her, and to bring her down to 40% health quickly, which is when she lands and goes berserk on everyone. That's when it gets tough. From what I understand, she goes even more loco at about 7% health. I hope we get to see that tomorrow night.

Is this that movie about those hippies looking for a key?
