Wipes from 10/24[/u] Attempt 1 Sons of Flame reached hammer in Transition 1. Attempt 2 Bastiat tank death. 3 crushing blows + Molten Seed explosions w/o ability to Death Strike Attempt 3 Raid got hammered Phase 2. Attempt 4 Raid got hammered Phase 2. Attempt 5 Raid stood in the Erupting Flames during Phase 2. Attempt 6 Raid stood in the Erupting Flames during Phase 2. Attempt 7 Sons of Flame reached hammer in Transition 1. Attempt 8 Sons of Flame reached hammer in Transition 1. Attempt 9 Illuminia tank death. 2 crushing blows. [Not a lot of heals during this time, can attribute death to healers probably.] Attempt 10 Raid stood in the Erupting Flames during Phase 2. Attempt 11 Raid stood in the Erupting Flames during Phase 2. Attempt 12 Sons of Flame reached hammer in Transition 1. Attempt 13 Illuminia dies. [No healing for 10 seconds; not sure why] Attempt 14 Illuminia dies. [High damage taken + low healing recieved] Attempt 15 Illuminia dies during Phase 2. [My bad on this one] Attempt 16 Sons of Flame reached hammer in Transition 1. Most Popular Methods of Wiping 5 Sons of Flame reached hammer in Transition 1. 5 Tank death/healer absence 4 Lava Waves 2 Raid got hammered Phase 2. Tank death/healer absence could be addressed with swapping out trinkets, knowing that <35% health scenarios are frequent and that healers may often be moving and unable to heal the tanks. If that doesn't work, it may be an issue of undergearing the content. As for dealing with Sons of Flame, multiple classes have minor tricks they can use to help with that phase, though the best bet is always more damage. From our raid-comp last night: Hunters: Can catch a Bat/Wasp and macro its stun ability. Mages: Fire has Blast Wave knockback, Frost has Deep Freeze stun, Arcane can burst them down. Warlock: Demonology can summon Felguard and use hurl axe macro to stun. Warrior: Numerous options as Fury, Arms, or Protection. DK: Death Coil in any spec. Paladin: Hammer of the Righteous, glyphed Holy Wrath Shaman: unglyphed Thunderstorm Druid: Skull Bash Title: Re: Ragnaros Post by: Parasprite on October 24, 2011, 11:16:58 pm I put in another 12 wipes today with a PuG group, and some thoughts:

Title: Re: Ragnaros Post by: Parasprite on October 26, 2011, 10:59:37 pm It was a different attempt then that one.

Some thoughts for next week: Watch DPS to make sure Molten Seeds don't spawn during a Transition. (Better to take 3 seed phases then risk doing it in 2) During second transition, make sure everyone knows how to DPS while moving and have DPS with good raid awareness switch off their Son of Flame at 50% health and start damaging other adds. |
