I tanked Ony tonight and noticed something strange. I was getting the expected full resists on her breath, I wasn’t wearing a full on fire res set but was still sitting at around 275. When I did not get a full resist I was getting no partial resists. This meant she was chunking me for around 3.5k and that is NOT how she has been on past kills nor how she was in vanilla. In the past I was geting a significant chunk of mitigation from the fire resist even when I did not flat out ignore her fire breath attacks.
So whats up?
Dude I swear there are several versions of Ony, and Blizzard has it on a rotation.
It’s the only thing that makes sence.
One week she’s all behaved and down to business, the next week she’s an insane asylum escapee who randomly attacks random targets that are not even in the agro table in phase 3 just because…
You had two Flame Breaths that were not full resists.
Two is not a sample size worth making a post over.
Do you even read your combat log? Or play classic?

Its literally right there in the combat log, Go from essentially ignoring her damage done to OMG WTH happened?
[guild]: MainHealer: WTH Enfield? you forget half your gear? You are getting wrecked!
[guild]: Enfield: No idea, no partial resists, shes bugged or something man.

You were damaged by two Flame Breaths.
On that attempt, heck this was the first time in a while we had needed more than one attempt, she was just nutty all around.
again in every previous attempt not done that night partial resists were shown on every hit i looked at, they were not shown on the combat log on those attempts and the finish on this recent lock out.

I don’t know if its a bug or not, but I tanked Onyxia on my warrior Giovanni on the classic server Kirtonos on 5/31/2020 and I was not getting any partial resists for fire breath at close to 200 fire resist.
