WoW Moviewatch: 40 Priests vs. Onyxia

Though after seeing Onyxia 5-manned post-Burning Crusade, it seems like 40 players of any class would be able to take her down, I wonder who would tank in a 40-priest raid. (Apparently a shadow priest holding aggro with Mind Blast.) Watch the power of 40 Shadow Word: Pains!

Any idea what the addon in the top middle of the screen is and what it's doing?

It's been 3-manned at 60, as far as I remember. I saw a vid once, a rogue, a warrior and a priest.

Onyxia was 4-manned PRE BC about a year ago (I think the ppl were in T2) so I would hope 40 ppl of any class at 70 could do it.

Weird I remember seeing a similar video over a year ago where 39 lv60 priests took on Ony, with a shadow priest tanking..

Why is it that every time someone tries to have fun with onyxia you end up with so many posts saying "It was 3 manned last year, I'm not impressed"

agree with 5
i'm sure the point wasn't to say, 40 priest can do it and you never could even on your best day with your class
lots of epeen showing up here

Ummmm....
- Benediction everywhere?
- No Prayer of mending shooting at the MT every 2 seconds?
- lvl 60 water/pots?
- lvl 60 bags?
- only lvl 60 skills on the bar?
- No kara gear anywhere?
Yup, looks like 40 level 70 priests to me

Not a huge feat, but cool. Onyxia scales down in difficulty with fewer players, so I've done it many times with 15-20 players, and heard from many people they've done it with less.

This would be alot funnier with druids. No caster form anywhere!

Who in the world whould name their character Poo?

That's actually a pre-bc video - so its 40 priests at lvl 60.
I still think it was a major challenge. You'll notice they rotate rolls to regen mana, when the guy running the camera is healing the main tank the amount of damage he is getting is *insane*.

Agree with #8. There is no way these are lvl 70 priests. The guy recording has an Onyxia scale backpack and three TRAVELERS backpacks. He's using CT_Raid and there are no lvl 70 skills on the toolbars. Benediction is ALL OVER the place in here, a staff a lvl 70 would be embarrassed to use.
40 lvl 60s sure, but definitely not 40 lvl 70s.

This is nothing. I soloed Onyxia with a level 5 half elf bard.

Coming up next on WoW Insider, someone named Leeroy yells something funny about chicken and wiped a UBRS group! Stay tuned.

I bet she wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition.

While the OP seemed to imply it was post BC, she never explicitly said it was 40 lvl 70 priests. Get your facts right before bashing the article.
Plus its still cool to see alternative ways like this of taking down bosses.

this article should be renamed "vintage moviewatch". your vids are almost always months to years old. this site has become more of a "remember when" than a "breaking news"
