Onyxia Wipe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Onyxia Wipe is a popular sound clip recorded from a session of World of Warcraft that was widely circulated around the internet, and spawned several longstanding Warcraft-related memes. The sound is of a guild named "Wipe Club" on the EU PVP server "Boulderfist" attempting to take on Onyxia, a difficult boss.

[edit] Notoriety

Much of the humor in the clip comes from the overbearing leader ("Dives"), who is barking orders, and threatening his guildmates with DKP deductions for not following his orders, as well as his eventual degeneration into extreme profanity after the attempt goes badly.

Other than being widely circulated, the recording and resultant animation have been referenced and acknowledged by several sources.

In 2006, gaming website Kotaku recognized Dives as the Leeroy Jenkins of 2006.^[1] Despite portraying him as somewhat tyrannical, Dives has stated that the clip was released to the public with his consent, and has actually increased participation in his guild due to the popularity of the clip.

Odd groups got left, even groups got right. That means 1, 3, 5, 7 left; 2, 4, 6, 8 right. 7 & 8 are whelp groups.

Ok listen the fuck up. You are going to DPS very, very slowly. Now, and by slowly I mean fucking slow. If you get aggro, it means you are going to lose 50dkp because you didn't know what the fuck to do. And watch the fucking tail. If you get into the whelps, you lose 50dkp again, for not being where the fuck you were supposed to be.

There is no aggro reset. There is some shit about an aggro reset when people don't know how to manage their aggro. After 2 Sunders you can basically start doing damage to it. Assuming you know how aggro works and you don't over-aggro.

Ok nuke it, dot it. Help the whelp groups. When it's in phase 2, nuke it as hard as possible. You want to get it down as fast as possible. Have dots up on every time, 2 rows, Shadow Word: Pain, Warlock curses, Rends, everything. I don't see enough dots, more dots now. Come on more DPS. Hit it like you mean it. You'll have time to rest in phase 3 while I'm getting the aggro. Remember, save all your aggro reducing abilities for when it lands. That means Feign Death, Vanish, fucking Fade, anything you can use to reset aggro.

At 40% you will stop dots, until then you will throw more dots. Throw more dots, more dots, more dots, come on more dots. Ok, stop dots. Now hit it very hard and very fast. Lee run to the center, Mulgras run to the center, Forsyte run to the center, Nurf run to the center, Isis run to the center. Whatever the fuck you do, do not stand next to other people. Mulgras, center. Just heal me. Lee do not... Go away from the head, Lee. Go away. Ok DPS, slowly. Come here you fucking cunt. Watch the tail!

Whelps!

Crushim was feared into...

Who the fuck was that? Crushim, what the fuck? Whelps, left side! Even side! Many whelps! Now, handle it! Fuck! That's a fucking 50dkp minus! What the fuck was that shit? If you stand in the right fucking place, there is no way you are going to fucking get into the goddamn whelps, whatever fucking Fear, tailswipe, whatever the fuck, OK? It's like one in a fucking million. From the fucking north corner to the middle into the fucking whelp cave, IT'S NOT EVEN FUCKING REMOTELY IMAGINABLE!

The meme was temporarily revived in the form of a flash animation made by "Deluthor", with stick figure animations and non-sequitur illustrations accompanying the audio content.
