Onyxia-Talents

[Budmonkey]

Just a quick question concerning talents for Onyxia. Do all our warriors go the Protection route or is there a requirment for Arms/Fury spec? Would imagine this will apply to a few other classes, so some feed back would be appreciated ;)

Cheers Bud.

But does anyone know a good frost build?

Reading the official forums, it would seem that people are useing all three talents tree's for Onyxia/MC. However alot of peeps complaining about the amount off resists they get, so it looks like Frost or Arcane for mages, but no idea on the specifics m8.
As for warriors, well alot of the protection tree is useless for Onyxia/MC, Concussion blow, Improved Revenge and Shield Bash will be worthless as i understand that stuns/silence don't work on the bosses there.
Improved Sunder also will be a waste of talent points as rage is basicly on tap with the amount of damage you take.
Looks like a few gold coins will be spent trying out different talent setups, oh well another three respecs and i am at the 50g cap :rolleyes: so if anyone has information/advice on a solid build please post :)

I'm going to respec when i got on WoW again. Will be getting the talent for less mana cost for frost-spells, the chance to freeze with chill effects and better crit-chance. Though we might not be able to actually freeze the fuckers in MC, we can still chill them down to around 70% - maybe even 35% with imp. blizzard. And then the shields.
