Cataclysm - Nefarian and Onyxia Boss Strategy Guide Blackwing Descent

[@FirstSea]

I love your guides, IMO they are the best for cata encounters, you explain everything clearly and you actually use the video to show what you are talking about (something which most guides dont do)!! These videos need more views!

[@greedlusthate]

I literally cannot describe how much I am in complete love with you for making your kill footage in sync with One Winged Angel.

[@Qrofol]

I love the way you managed to time One-Winged Angel with the fight. The ending was just perfect. Kudos.

[@kaim1452]

13 years later, thank you

[@highwayblowout]

I don't play WoW, but i was quite amused by watching this.

[@lastxwriter]

Congrats on the Nef kill, Jesse! That looked like an absolutely insane fight to go through as a healer, so I'm happy that you and your guild pulled off a win. :)

[@MarkHyde]

All those who said you'd left WoW should be fed to Nefarion and Onyxia themselves. Exceptional video Jesse. Music timings during the actual fight bit were awesome. MOAR DUDE, MOAR!! :D

[@dessan18]

Thank you. I've waited forever for this badass video

[@sherwoodetc]

Jesse, I miss the DW jams, but your music selections continue to make me friendcrush on you all the same. Rock on.

[@maplehappy]

i love watching guide vids like this on the new content, but at the same time it makes me glad i'm not raiding anymore xD nice vid

[@Hemotept]

Jesse one more thing to note: If Onyxia is not being dpsed enough her energy bar will increase faster. Having every single person switch to Nef will cause her bar to raise quicker and will result in a wipe. It's just something I thought may need to be mentioned. It's recommended that you keep a few ranged classes on her.

[@luckyhands4995]

cata classic here- tried this last night on ten man, and wiped like 5 times. ive been doing all my raid leading based on these videos, i find period correct vids to be better, even tho theyre slightly different. thanks for the vids, but as soon as i heard 'one winged angel' lol, gotta tell ya, def an appropriate song for this fight xD

[@wtfaheavyman]

epic timing.... going to progress on Nefarian tonight :D becouse of you, we killed Magmaw, Omno, Chim and malo in 2 hours and 15 min yesterday, first guildrun ever ^^ thanks man :D

[@zelithos]

hey jesse, when i heard Sephiroth's theme on the video i decided to switch my religion to the OMFG cult.......paring an epic theme to an epic boss battle ........that was just too EPIC to be seen / heard

[@TheHiznor]

Congrats Jesse. Still working on it in our 10 man. That fight is just brutal for healers.

[@HellFireAndBrimstone]

Grats on Nef, Jesse. Also, glad too see there is someone else with MS Paint skills comparable to mine.

[@Jeremyspys]

This must've been a ton of work. Excellent as usual Jesse

[@Hemotept]

@majpain727 Hunters are commonly advised to keep dps on Nef, they will push another 10% electrocute during this time since the add does not move from his spot but rather spins to attack his highest threat target. There doesn't really need to be a tank for them but your plate dps will mostly have aggro anyway making it easier to heal. 10 man is a different story entirely, but may fall under the same rules considering the adds do not move from their position.

[@konack1]

@OMFGcata Thats one of the greatest game (and movie) themes. Really love the rock and metal areas of this song.

[@shadows4280]

where do you get the music for you boss kills from? the fight and the song were pretty epic

[@absolos6945]

I love the Onyxia drawing, on your super tactical and sexy map.

[@janmtg90]

@Roguesaxophone57 Onyxia doesn't drop anything. The boss encounter itself is called Nefarian. Onyxia is just a big ass add

[@bacon_phatt]

Jesse is the man! I watch all your vids. (Only the ones about World of Warcraft though.) Don't listen to the haters on the comments. They are just jealous they can't make any better vids.

[@forkner110]

Thanks for putting this up jesse

[@MrBigmick5]

Awesome vid Jesse, and that looks one hell of a fight to try and do haha

[@StarcallerCeri]

Would you say this is harder in 10m than Cho'gall is? I've heard Cho'gall is the worst in 10 (and I can attest to that as my group wiped on it for something like 4 weeks before suddenly one shotting him one week o.O;). We've attempted Nef a little (gonna finish Al'akir off first!) and the first phase was an incredible mess, mainly with the adds. We had a dps kiting them and then tried hunter pet tanking them (which apparently had been done before) but ughh... glad this video is out now though!

[@Varjag_TV]

@OMFGcata the shadowflame barrage in p2 makes also splash damage with a short range, so if you stand split you can avoid some dmg on the grp ;)

[@CordyBrush]

hehe at the end "GAME OVER MAN!" best liner for a healer ever xD

[@Snornus]

I love the Combo of DW7- The Last Battle and then, One winged Angel...they're both badass and a good change of pace between the two :P

[@LevitateFTW]

NIce music selection for the final kill. xD

[@Zohall20]

With the choice of music at the end, i just had to picture someone saying "Good to see you... Onyxia." And at the end of the battle, Nefarian declaring "I will... never be a memory."

[@WowRulesRPGs]

Awesome all your BDW Guids helped my guild and I got every boss down and we got all the heroics

[@janmtg90]

@kstalt It's called 'One Winged Angel'. Just google it and I'm sure you'll find a download link. It's one of the most popular if not the most popular and most remixed song in the Final Fantasy Series.

[@keefe0u812]

All the pretty green numbers popping up from your healing rain makes me want to make a shaman.

[@PressXtonotdie]

@mladenk90 the one during his victory? Sephiroth's orchestral theme from final fantasy 7.

[@josukex42]

Just an annotation to add to you video that you may want to add to your video, there is a sweet spot below's ony belly where you can dodge both the tail swipe and the electricity so dps (except hunters) can stack there

[@jenovassidekick]

What was the song you were playing while you were explaining stuff?

[@Praxxz]

Sorry for the Kinda stupid question :P But, What addons are you using?

[@MugenCrisis]

@Darkpadraig Yes, one wing angel version from the advent children movie.

[@wexoriann]

um this was your 1st nefarian in balckwing descent ? i was expecting that you did this before jesse :)

[@madnimrod2489]

The song is the "One-Winged Angel" Remix from FFVII.

[@SalamanderXD]

I don't watch strategy vids often, but when I do, I do it for the sprites.

[@masterjohansen]

I absolutely need to know where the "World of Warcraft - Blackwing Descent: Nefarian and Onyxia" music is taken from! (or my life will not be complete)

[@AdeptusOrkstodes]

Epic Song choice for the Kill Jesse

[@mladenk90]

Nice song... Could you please tell me name??? And btw nice videos, i have been watching them for a long timeeeeeee... :D Keep up the good work.. :D

[@alittlebirdi]

Love how you best part of the song started on phase 3, did you time it that way =D

[@TheTordenguden]

Gz Jesse and yes please Continue doing this kinda things ! (:

[@Esmeandsasha]

Hey guys! I downed Nefarian 10man normal just last night in BWD with a full guild group. The one MAJOR thing besides the complex strategy, is getting the flow of the fight. Once you know exactly not only YOU should be but your team mates, you'll feel a billion times more at ease. I'm a strictly PvP Holy Paladin, and only came as a favor to my guild, I did this entire raid and Nef in full pvp gear, healing. What he says is true, "If I can do it so can you"

[@Benichou49]

man .. One Winged Angel ftw ! you're a genius !

[@NeoDMC]

@EgoSlayer It's kinda hard to compare, it really depends on your raid composition. I find Cho'gall easier since it's more of a dps style fight while the few times I've fought Nef it's all come down to Phase 2 and it's more about healing and interrupting. In the Nef fight my guild starts with a DK on Onyxia. When adds come out a Pally picks them up and another pally takes Nef. DPS gets Ony down to 20% then we focus on getting Nef down to 80%. At 80% we push Ony and go into phase 2.

[@LazyandCrazy0]

The Intro would fit a Cho'gall strat better. The dark corruption swallowing the screen, then the eyes popping out definitely look like it belongs on Cho'gall. either way, great intro.

[@TheLordEspada]

@OMFGcata will we be seeing any DW7? (he said hopefully)

[@Leeroi132]

Grats Jesse!!!!! Enhancement Shaman Edit woot!!

[@jxhunger]

R.I.P the 10 man strategy! That's why i watched your boss strategy in the first place :< And when is garosh's paradise coming out man!?

[@imagnome123]

i killed this on 10 man after week after week of attempts, the screams and cheers on vent were electric (pun completely intended) this is easily one of the hardest fights Blizzard has ever made, not the hardest but definately in the top 10

[@Lokim23]

@MarkuzLee lawl. Keep your eye on their world of logs alone. You get to see their fails first hand! Heroic maybe with a 30% buff.

[@janmtg90]

@Zatsukai No he said he hasnt played since 3.3.3 came out. He was being serious

[@puzava]

@OMFGcata sounds like the boss fight music in final fantasy 7 vs sephiroth:)

[@MadBloodKing]

I swear every time I hear that song my soul tries to run away and hide

[@Chraaze]

@Davidsgameplay What role are you, and when did you beat it?

[@spades922]

i love the music at the end!

[@eternalfear88]

finaly this video is out even though i'v already downed neff we still have trouble doing it only downed once. but i'd like to see how u do it:D

[@Gurthorch]

What's the name of the (8-bit?) song at 0:20?

[@Alco1999]

You should make more full dungeons and with the boss strats and stuff.

[@WyrdFayth]

@maxytob One-Winged Angel, Sephiroth's song.

[@icresp4263]

I cant believe this was 10 years ago...

[@1337Trapper]

@OMFGcata isnt the second one from final fantasy 7 o_O

[@ilikecrits]

You should check out an addon called Shieldsup, Jesse. I know you'll love it!

[@powergod897]

What is the song in the when your talking?

[@SheLookedEighteen]

Very nice Dragons you have there :3

[@Blackhammer99]

Good vid! Too bad you missed our kill tonight. More gear you could have used dropped!

[@jgreen222]

i have a question jesse at around 37% our add tank keeps dieng weve trid swithiching outh the tanks but the add tank still died around 37% and i think it as something to do with the healers running low on mana any suggestions on how to conserve mana in that fight

[@axeltheswordman]

I wish he would of told us the name of the two songs during the explanation of the fight.

[@MentalCreations]

I saw some cameos Justin aka. Diego and Kripparrian in this vid. :O

[@AsbakNL]

did you get any phat loot from them?:P

[@imthebiggestlegion]

You gotta love his choice of music haha

[@AsbakNL]

@TheDankJake its from final fantasy 7

[@Linkforlife199]

Does Nef still do electrocute during the air phase?

[@manga925]

Man you should of switched to Kefkas music at the end to start a flame warn seems like something you would do lols.

[@croco1523]

Cata was still fun for me with my guild, after that not so much

[@LouSaydus]

Wow pretty much peaked in raid difficulty in cata. Things were nuts.

[@rattlehead999]

@@LouSaydus WoD and since WoD raids have been much harder with more complex and deep and higher quality mechanics.

[@Cygryf]

HAHA when I heard the music from your kill i was like 'One winged dragon ftw!' xD

[@lucywilliams3236]

Were you one of the healers?

[@Max1234qwert]

Did you win any loots?

[@kstalt]

Anyone got a link to the song if possible? I must have overlooked it if it was in the video.

[@damienmaster12]

why is it the sephiroth theme song?

[@jrsdef]

sephoroth's song FTW

[@MadFox293]

the music takes me back to the days when final fantasy was a actually good

[@TheBoneMadness]

When i hear one winged angel chills come down my spine and it drives me nuts lol

[@royalcat10]

He does but that's his off-spec his main spec is resto if you want to check his armory it's Mojomaker@Firetree

[@nuclear_moose]

we had problems with the adds on ph3, we facerolled ph1 and 2

[@moledark]

i reckon blizz should make one winged angel the theme for all bosses cause its always epic

[@zZKillerCloggy]

Jesse... you are my hero

[@Megashockism]

" I want dots up on every time!"

[@MrMJfan1012]

Hmm Jesse thought you played enhancement?

[@Dunkingsonn]

@ZqkandVlcm I think its called "One Winged Angel"

[@royalsunce]

I was thinking "maaa how hared can this fight be" than I herd One-Winged Angel can I went O.O soooo much pain cumes to me from that song and any fight with it must be HARED AS HELL

[@Mysterdion]

12:00 EPIC MUSIC!

[@txcpnae]

They should have a glyph that makes the water shield unable to disappear from taking damage. water shield is the only thing shamans can get mana from :(

[@Lillis000]

wats the addon that shows ur raid group

[@Horrorcubus]
