A Fiery Reunion

Finnish Brute Force didn't raid before The Burning Crusade, so we never had the chance to experience the thrill of a first-time Nefarian kill together. Now, thanks to Blizzard's lack of imagination love for old content, and Nef's and Onyxia's ability to survive beheadings, we do! The siblings had learned from their previous defeats and joined forces, although not everyone was sure why Nef was trying to drown his dear sister in lava when we entered the room. Those of us with a sibling can probably relate, I know I can <3.

The admittedly epic battle took place in a pit that was clearly meant to be a new PvP arena in Cata, but I guess after the "success" of Ring of Valor the developers thought it would be best to keep the fires and lava in PvE dungeons, no matter how fun it would be to scorch your enemies with well-timed kidney shots.

As the descending magma exposed a familiar face we saw our chance and jumped right in! Onyxia was literally shocked to see a bunch of epic-hungry wackos charging at her once again, but not as shocked as we were when we realised she doesn't have any loot left. So, to the next dragon we ran!

Visibly worried about the purple glow in our eyes, Nef flew up in the air and filled the arena with lava again! Fortunately he was kind enough to leave some pillars as safe spots for us. Well, safe until he started to bombard us with firebolts and called some nasty friends to join the party. Try to figure this guy out. "You're hot and you're cold, you're dead then you're not"...

Things got tight on the small platforms, but no one slipped or accidentally kicked any gnomes into the lava, so we made it to the final phase. The rest of the fight went beautifully, just like the whole kill. Smooth add control and healers healing their asses off (no one died!). Add impressive dps and you've got two dead dragons.

Wait...Onyxia's corpse was nowhere to be seen! So remember, the Blackwing Descent might be merely a setback...

Until then, heroics! Yay!
