Ragnaros - DEFEATED 20/09/2011

[Treach]

I think we need to bump this thread. With all the new additions to RGW we really need to go over the roatations and everything.

[Arcticfire]

Finally got P1 and 2 cleared, now we need to get a hang of P3, which mainly means we need to see it alot.

[hermioneg]

if I would like to give some suggestions ......
 in T2 we may keep a son alive as possible to delay the start of P3 (which will start anyway after 45sec), so we will have more time to kill the 2 big adds. I was thinking the 7 in L&R hammers and 1 or 8 in middle.
 one important thing is to use the hero at the beginning of P3, this phase should last for as little as possible, with too many balls (3 +) is impossible concentrate dps on rag.

What do you think?

It's a valid tactic and can allow you to focus longer on the boss once into the final stage.  Just make sure the son is dead before the 45 seconds are up or it will probably wipe you.

I'd put Hero as soon as you have the 2 big adds stable. You want them down asap as the phase where the big adds and Rag are up at the same time is quite hazardous - you have to deal with P3 stuff still, like smash and flames on the floor, while having people getting the debuff from the add as well (I've forgotten all the names, you can tell ). The rest of P3 may look hectic and 'omg what do we do now?' like, but in reality it's actually quite stable and as long as you handle the meteors right you can really stretch it for quite some time. You will very likely reach 3 balls in the end, possibly 4. Just focus on proper handling of the balls instead of going apeshit on boss and risk getting headbutted by a meteor, and he'll go down eventually.

As for leaving the son up, yes that's viable indeed. As long as you remember to slow it first and make sure people who get the debuff don't run in front of its path. And of course remember to kill it before Rag gets up or you get the same effect as if he were to reach the hammer. Although it doesn't have to wipe you post-nerf, it can be quite lethal to your add tank at this time.

[TeaLeaf]

Keeping a Son alive is more tricky than it sounds.  One mis-placed debuff could cause the Son to accelerate to the Hammer and blow the raid up.  It's easier to just burn them down asap imo rather than trying to finesse it.  Blow heroism as soon as the Sons are down and that gives the DPS boost on the Scion dps and on Ragnaros (as all dps classes should be DOTing up both the two Scions *and* Ragnaros at the same time where they have DOTs in their armory).  There should then be a goodly chunk of heroism left when the Scions go down to leave unfettered DPS time on Ragnaros.

Thx for bringing me along for this one, was great to finally see him go down.
Also, now we can do HCs, which might be usefull for the extra dps/heals.

And dont forget thx for the gear  5/5 T12;)
