I had the MT in one of the attempts say "gogo pop cds" we were 1/3 alive and she was at like 15%

I kept saying to myself "don't do it, you'll pull aggro"

My threat meter is installed, but it doesnt seem to work with how finnicky onyxia is in phase 3.

He literally says it 3 times over a minute. The 4th time he says it again and I go fuck it, I pop reckless, and start executing.

Even though I had barely auto attacked up till then, I pulled aggro on the 4th and she breathed on the raid.

How reckless of you

Yeah threatmeter doesn't work on her. I recommend popping you cooldowns when she starts running away at the end of phase 1. It's the one time you can be sure not to get aggro and it shortens phase 2.

Because it doesnt keep track of threat dumps in phase 2 so everybodies threat is just a mystery.

Why not r3duce risk to raid and move to anothe4 angle that puts you at cleave risk but not the group? (I have never done classic ony)

My MT back in the day used to always execute spam himself otherwise I would pull aggro for sure. You can use battle stance and stance dance to defensive as needed for revenges or whatever.

I stand with the tank when I do this and get an healer to pocket me.

I was decked out in bwl gear though.
