RG1 v RG2 Challenge

[TeaLeaf]

Things are beginning to heat up, RG2 are closing in on Ragnaros and RG1 are closing in on Nefarian, so the race is on to see who will down their end Boss first.  

But who will get there first?  VOTE in the Poll now and make your prediction!

My own vote goes to RG2. WHAT!!  Yes RG2.  And I'll tell you why:

Why will RG2 win?
RG2 raid MC on 18/5 (clear up on 22/5) and RG1 don't go to BWL again until 21/5 (clear up on 23/5).  So RG2 have the edge in timing and I think Rg2 is close enough to do the full MC clearance in one night, so long as everyone turns up on time AND there is a clean run.  So I am reckoning that RG2 will get a go at Ragnaros on both Thursday AND Monday, both of which will be before RG1 gets another go at Nefarian.  

Right now RG2 do not quite have the stats and DPS needed to do Ragnaros, but they are VERY close.  What I am banking on is that ALL RG2 MEMBERS will get every possible enchant on their normal and FR gear AND will bring a long a good supply of pots (mongoose, shadow damage, greater arcane damage, supreme power etc) to maximise their chances of success.  An extra +30 spell damage (mages/locks), +22 Int (priests), +55 Healing (pallies/druids), +15 Agi on that blade (rogues), +9 Stamina on those bracers etc.  Every little bit helps and of course, and having stuck my neck out, I will make myself available as much as possible to help do all the enchants before raid time.

I think RG2 will have Ragnaros down no later than 29th May.

How will RG1 win?
RG1 are getting very close to downing Nefarian and to get into Phase 2 of the fight is a tremendous accomplishment.  But I think they need another 1-2 weeks of BWL drops to get themselves up to the level needed for Nefarian.  So I believe that whilst RG1 will down Nefarian on 30th May, I think RG2 will pip them to the post.  

There are only two ways RG1 can win:  either RG1 pull something quite spectacular out of the bag, or RG2 will have failed to get enchanted to the max, will not have brought the required pots and will not have a full raid.

I think RG1 will have Nefarian down no later than 30th May.

So, the stake is in the ground, the line is in the sand and I've stuck my neck out and put it on the block!  Who do you think will win?

This is an excellent idea by TL which i just have to comment on

My money is on RG2 as well, since they have had more tries on Ragnaros than RG1 had on Nefarian, and they came really close last time to getting him down.

Allthough, make no mistake, i'll do my utmost to beat RG2 to this since im a *very* competitive person, and i just want to WIN  :devil:

To quote our arch nemesis Nefarian:

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

[Bastet]

RG2 will win i think, mainly cause if we get unlucky w/ breaths on chrommy or drakes on nef fight (and this can happen pritty eazyly since there are still a number of both and combos of both we didnt got yet).

Then again, if RG1 gets thier best group and a good run done we would have a fighting chance

[Menedil]

eeerrrr, we still need a lot of work on phase 1 nef imo, ok we DID kill 42, but there was literally 100 other ones still left to kill - and im pretty sure they only despawned because we were all dead when nefarion landed.

different combinations of draconids in phaes 1 require different methods of killing them, some combinations can be aoe'd down, some need focused fire, etc.

[Marduk]

yeh im pretty sure raid group 2 will win this one

as i heard on TS last night, all they need is a bit of better gear and a few runs will sure give that

we on the other hand need our very best people combined, we need a lil luck with spawns and atacks at certain spots and we need to down vael within a few tries

plus you can afford a lil lag in MC, while that same lag kills you big time in BWL

[Knabbel]

Pwnd!!      

[Sebas]

Of course I'm voting on RG2, there's no way I let you guys win of us  
Now that you made it a challenge, I'm just as determined as Padding to win this, I'm a sore loser  :devil:

Let's win this one  :norty:

[Sazgul]

I'll put my money on RG2 ofc!  :devil:

RG1; you guys will struggle with Nef, from here till christmas, at least.... So you might as well go outside this summer and enjoy the sun :narnar:  - We'll beat ya anyways.  :roflmao:

[Odesa]

RG2 wins ofc! First of all; RG2 takes down Raggy next time and second of all; 50% of RG1 consist of RG2 ppl anyway...  :blink:  Actually we should vote for the possibility: RG2 takes down Neffy before RG1 does  :narnar:

[Gorion]

umm i think RG2 needs a lesson of facts:

1) you were aided by RG1 all the way in mc
2) we swapped ppl over so that RG2 could get better gear faster and in the same time having RG1 ppl in your raid groups to save your TANGO
3) your dps is quite lacking... (yes it is )
4) RG2 tanks aint that good equipped + dont have the experiance RG1 tanks have .  there is also some jealousy in there...

5) you cant even begin to compare Nefarian to Ragnaros...


so the conclusion of the story.. if it wasnt for RG1 helping you all the way.. youde still be struggling with magmadar or gehennas remember.. that the tactics were already set in place, all you needed to do was copy/paste
