Ragnaros
Lucifron Magmadar Gehennas Garr Shazzrah Baron Geddon Golemagg the Incinerator Sulfuron Harbinger Majordomo Executus Ragnaros Ragnaros the Firelord is an incredibly powerful elemental lord, ruler of all fire elementals . He resides in the Molten Core deep within Blackrock Mountain , gathering his strength so that he may come forth and rule the world above. Entrance RagnarosBackground The Firelord and his brethren once held sway over the entire world. As a servant of the Old Gods , he fought against the Titans for domination over the planet. The victorious Titans banished him and his brethren to the Elemental Plane - there to remain imprisoned until the end of time. During the Elemental Sundering Ragnaros sought to consume Thunderaan, Prince of Air . Thunderaan fell, utterly defeated. The Firelord feasted upon the essence of Thunderaan, but was unable to consume him entirely. Three hundred years ago, the ambitious and ruthless Dark Iron Clan initiated a war against their dwarven brethren, the Bronzebeard Clan and Wildhammer Clan . During this War of the Three Hammers , the Dark Iron Dwarf leader named Thaurissan lay siege to the Wildhammers' capital city of Grim Batol , destroying it. Despite this victory, the united Wildhammers and Bronzebeards were ultimately able to push the Dark Iron dwarves back to Blackrock Mountain. Thaurissan, seeking to summon a supernatural minion that would turn the tide of the war back to his favor, called upon the ancient powers sleeping beneath the world. To Thaurissan's surprise, and ultimately his doom, the creature that emerged was more terrible than any nightmare he could have imagined. Now, freed by Thaurissan's call, Ragnaros erupted into being once again. Ragnaros' apocalyptic rebirth into Azeroth shattered the Redridge Mountains and created a raging volcano at the center of the devastation. Though Thaurissan was killed by the forces he had unleashed, his surviving Dark Iron Clan brethren were ultimately enslaved by Ragnaros and his elementals. He and his dwarven minions took control of the Blackrock mountain's volcanic depths and made war on the orcs in the Upper Blackrock Spire , which served as the seat of power for Nefarian the Black Dragon . Ragnaros has uncovered the secret to creating life from stone and plans to build an army of unstoppable golems to aid him in conquering the whole of Blackrock Mountain.Notable Loot Ragnaros has low chance to drop Eye of Sulfuras , the key ingredient to making Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros .Abilities Wrath of Ragnaros : Point blank area of effect fire attack that deals 1000 fire damage and knocks back all players in range. Is consistently recast every 25 seconds. Announced with the yell "Taste the flames of Sulfuron!"Hand of Ragnaros : Ranged area of effect fire attack that deals fire damage and knocks back all players in range of the randomly chosen target. Announced with the yell "By fire be purged!"Eruption : Causes lava to surge up and deal heavy fire damage to all those nearby.Elemental Fire : Debuff placed on primary target. Deals 2400 fire damage and an additional 4800 fire damage over eight seconds.Magma Blast : Cast continually when nobody is in melee range. Will kill players very quickly.Melt Weapon : A passive aura that causes weapons to take durability damage when attacking Ragnaros.Summon Sons of Flame : Every three minutes Ragnaros submerges and summons eight Sons of Flame . Ragnaros will resurface once all sons are defeated or 90 seconds have passed since submersion, whichever happens first.Tips Large amounts of fire resistance are crucial to this fight. Tanks should have at least 300 resistance, melee should have at least 200 resistance, and ranged should have at least 100 resistance. Everyone in the raid should be prepared with several Greater Fire Protection Potion to help mitigate the fire damage. Paladins should use , shamans should use , and mages should use . Ragnaros is highly resistant to fire damage but vulnerable to frost damage. Spec accordingly. It is impossible for ranged damage dealers to pull aggro from the tank, so don't hold back. All melee except the main tank should back out when he casts Wrath of Ragnaros. An offtank is recommended as it is possible for the main tank to get knocked far back and thus lose aggro. When the sons spawn the raid should collapse on a single point and quickly kill the sons one by one. The sons can be controlled with , , , , stuns, and various similar abilities. The sons have a mana burn aura and thus pose an extreme threat to casters. Warriors should attempt to keep them away from casters through use of Challenging Shout . This fight is a measure of your raids damage potential. Generally you should aim at getting Ragnaros to less than 40% health before he submerges the first time. Otherwise you will not be able to kill him before he submerges a second time, which generally results in a wipe due to getting overwhelmed by sons.
