Onyxia 2.0
Written by Shieldykins   

OnyxiaHaving logged into the game for the first time after patch 3.2.2 was released, I quickly typed into guild chat "LFG Ony 10-man!" and waited excited for the plethora of responses.

About an hour or so later, we were gathering in the tunnel ready to pull our first trash mob and clear a path to the dragon queen.  For me, this was the first time I had any type of grouped instance activity in quite a few weeks, and the first raid I've been on since I the time (and so far only one) that I stepped into Ulduar 10-man on August 2nd.  It's awesome how the experience, excitement, and energy of being part of a raiding group instantly swarms back to me.  The instinct of self-awareness being put to the test, as other people are relying on me to stay alive and *pew* *pew*.
