&#9632;The Broodmother also spawns an Onyxian Lair Guard about every 30 seconds throughout phase two.  Use your backup tank to tank the guard, and melee DPS should switch to the guard.  Ranged DPS should keep attacking the Broodmother.  Make sure your backup tank has his own healer whenever he’s tanking one of these guards.  The guards have 190,000 health points, and their melee damage is quite substantial.  The added fire damage from their abilities Ignite Weapon and Blast Nova makes them an important part of phase 2.

The first Lair Guard comes out after 15 secs; they also have a 10 yard fire AoE that everyone needs to be aware of. You shouldn't have more than one Guard up at a time, because their damage is too great, so if your melee dps is having trouble get the ranged to come help out.

Also, in phase 2, there is no threat on Onyxia, so ranged can go nuts on her.
