Ragnaros Recap (8/18/2011)


Try 1:
Kosh dies early to a Lava Wave. Gets a rez.
Mama dies early to Scorched Ground. Not available for transition.
Zindu dies from Engulfing Flames at the same time Naz dies from random Rag hit.
At this point we can't take down the Molten Elementals before they continually pick people off.

Try 2:
Kurtz dies early to Engulfing Flames. Gets a rez.
At this point I believe someone was in the wrong place for transition 2 and allowed an elemental to reach the hammer and Supernovas wipe the raid.

Try 3:
Xortak dies early due to Nahe being slow on a taunt allowing Burning Wounds to stack on Xortak to 8. Gets a rez.
Mama got Blazing Heat during transition 2 and called for help. Nahe went to stun her add, putting him out of position to pick up the Lava Scions quickly. One of the Lava Scions ate Zindu. An add still got through though causing Supernovas to wipe the raid.

Try 4:
Both Xortak and Nahe are slow to move out of an Engulfing Flame during a seeds collapse. Both barely survive, but are immediately killed by Molten Elementals.
Ragnaros then proceeds to punch raid members in the face, wiping the raid.

Try 5:
Cas dies early from Engulfing Flames during a seeds collapse.
Kurtz dies from being too close to exploding seeds.
The loss of raid heals and AoE damage allow the adds to wipe the raid.

Try 6:
Dyes dies early from a Lava Wave. Gets a rez.
We make it to transition 2, but at the same time as a seed collapse. We can't deal with Molten Elementals and Sons of Ragnaros at the same time.
Adds and Supernovas wipe the raid.

Try 7:
Kosh dies early from Sulfuras Smash. Gets a rez.
Someone fails to cover their add in transition 2. Naz had Blazing Heat.
Supernovas wipe the raid.

Try 8:
Cas DC's (100% of healing is from Earth Shield). Zindu and Kosh die from Magma Trap explosions, likely do to reduced healing capacity.
With no healers up, the raid proceeds to wipe.

Try 9:
Zindu dies early from stepping on a Magma Trap. Dies from fall damage. Gets a rez.
Mama dies early from Engulfing Flames.
At this point we have an inner zone Engulfing Flames forcing us to stack in the middle zone during a seeds collapse. Sulfuras Smash happens right afterwards.
Kurtz dies from Lava Wave.
Naz dies from Lava Wave.
Dyes dies from Lava Wave.
And now there's not nearly enough DPS to handle the Molten Elementals, which wipe the raid.

Try 10:
From a point where I believe Xortak was at full health he suffers:
- 63,206 from Magma Trap explosion
- 4,544 from Burning Wound (1 stack)
+ 6,774 from Prayer of Mending
- 21,978 from Hand of Ragnaros
- 40,756 from Ragnaros melee
- 4,089 from Burning Wound (still at 1 stack)
- 36,110 from Ragnaros melee

These strikes happen within the span of about 3.5 seconds. Xortak was only overkilled by 1,790 hp. Gets a rez.
Xortak dies again nearly a minute later from a Lava Wave.
Nahe dies shortly thereafter, also due to damage taken from a Lava Wave.
The lack of tanks leads to the apparent suicide of the raid as Zindu kills himself on a Magma Trap, and Naz drowns himself in lava.

Try 11:
Dyes dies early from a Lava Wave. Gets a rez.
Mama dies early from Engulfing Flames.
Dyes dies early again from Sulfuras Smash.
We hit transition 2 with 3 Sons uncovered which leads to utter chaos and many Supernovas.

Try 12:
Zindu was hit by 2 Molten Seeds, but nobody else was, so it's difficult to tell why. This caused him to be extremely low on HP, and when the seeds exploded to release the adds, the explosions killed him.
Dyes dies from a Sulfuras Smash two seconds later.
Cas dies from a Lava Wave two second after that.
Two healers dead allows the Molten Elementals to wipe the raid.

Try 13:
Dyes dies early from Scorched Ground. Gets a rez.
We make it to transition 2. It's nearly a clean transition, but one add makes it to the hammer. The one Supernova causes the deaths of Zindu, Doc, and Dyes.
We reach phase 3, but are down 3 people. Wipe is called and the suicide of choice this time around is a Lava Wave.

Try 14:
Kurtz dies early from Engulfing Flames.
Cas dies from a Lava Wave before a rez gets out on Kurtz.
Two deaths mean the wipe call goes out, and we all get eaten by Molten Elementals.
