I have not had time to give an update on Zenos lately due to work and raiding. But, nonetheless, a lot has happened since the last post. Our guild has finally downed Onyxia and cleared all the way through Majordomo in Molten Core. The pace of raids are increasing, more loot is dropping, and we are making great progress. In fact, we even took a stab at Ragnaros the other night and took him down to 70% with a good portion of the raid naked! I think we may be closer to taking him down then most people realize. We even crafted most of the dark iron epics for the main tanks (270+ fire resistance ftw).
On that note, I have gained a great deal of new gear lately. The list is rather extensive, but the best items have been the Helm of Wrath, Pauldrons of Might, Onyxia Blood Talisman, and the left side of the Bindings of the Windseeker! Simply put, Zenos is really starting to look like a raiding guild's main tank. I have to admit, I almost feel bad for taking so much loot when other tanks could use some upgrades. But, I am the main tank and most of the other warriors are not as interested in the position. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it :)
Another point of interest, tanking Onyxia is actually rather challenging. The first two phases are simple for obvious reasons (as long as no one pulls aggro in the first phase). However, once Onyxia lands, grabbing her attention is incredibly difficult. Even with a full rage bar, spamming sunders, and attempting to rage out of the fears...it can still take 15+ seconds to lock her down. It's a scary situation when she is pointed at half the raid that long. I will have to experiment more and try to find the best way to get her attention quickly. Anyways, here are some screenshots of my new gear. Enjoy :)
