Title: Head of Onyxia
Post by: DonnieKingo on June 20, 2006, 09:23:09 AM
Hi

Whats the deal with this head? Is this the one that gives everyone in SW an extreme buff when turned in?

In that case wouldnt it be wise to wait turning it in till thursday 19-ish so everyone can get the buff before we slam-dump MC?

I ask because i havent tried the head-thingie before.  :unsure:

Thats exactly what it is ;)

You are right there, broadcast it in Guild Chat around 18.30-18.45, so people can come get the buff before the raid, and then deliver it in at 19.00

If someone else has done it on the day, it will not work tho, so check for that first  :)

If the head of her hangs in front of SW, you'll miss the buff. But I dont know how long the head hangs there tho.

The reason for you to roll and the head and spend DKP on it isn't primarily the buff I'd say.  By turining that in you get to choose from 2-3 nice epic rings (someting like "Dragonslayer's signet" or something - just thott it) :)
The buff is just some kind of nice bonus - which can be very helpfull if you need that extra boost to acomplish something special (e.g. killing Nef for the first time :devil: ).  Just remember that you'll loose the buff as soon as you die, so if you have a raid whipe, it's not worth anything anymore.

Thats why we want the Heart of Hakkar buff :D it dosnt give the extra chance to crit... so the damn locks wont overaggro as much... and imo the ZG buff is way better
 +5% to Dodge
 +15% to all Stats
 +10% to Movement

and in case your die, it will not be removed. and its also lasts for 2 hours.

I rolled for the head to get the lovely-neckpiece, so the buff is just an added benefit that might help us get through MC a bit faster :)

I think I saw something in the 1.11 patch notes that this this is not the case any more.  From now on you'll sadly loose this buff as well if you die :(

Somebody plz correct me if I'm wrong.

The Mantle of the Timbermaw will now make the correct inventory sounds.
The Spirit of Zandalar will no longer persist through death.
Ancient Hakkari Manslayer: This item will no longer trigger erroneously on the strike which kills the target.

Part of patch notes that i copied... Isent it that buff you are talking about?

The buff that you get from HoH, stays when you die, but the Bijou buff disapears? atleast thats the impression i got :)

I can confirm that you loose the buff from the Heart of Hakkar.  I had it when we started MC yesterday, and it was gone after the first whipe.  No more discussion :)
