I put in another 12 wipes today with a PuG group, and some thoughts:
- The stack point locations were in bad spots. There only need to be two, one in melee range and one outside of the first Engulfing Flames. There is a large amount of time to heal the molten seed damage off and easy to dodge/hammer & waves if stack points correct.
- The raid can stand on one side in 10m as long as they remain six-yards apart and outside of the gold-border.
- Tanks need to use minor defensive cooldowns (Bone Shield,Barkskin, etc.) in Phase 2 when moving to the stack point if they are currently tanking Ragnaros.
- They also assigned individual players to specific adds, but if the hammer was offset adjusted specific players to be near the Sons of Flame closest to the hammer.
- The second Transition Phase is much harder then the first one. Players need to be familiar with how they can DPS/Heal while moving in case of Blazing Heat. Lava Scions do a considerable amount of damage to the tanks as well.
- Phase 3 is actually pretty simple compared to the other phases. However, the DPS requirements to beat the soft enrage timer are not so forgiving and we'll definitely need to save Heroism/DPS Potions for this phase.
