isn't rag also weak against ICE? i figure he should be :shrug:

i'd imagine it'd be faster if they had 33 locks instead

I wish I could read the credits without getting a fucking siezure

I've often heared of guilds killing Ragnaros before the first spawn of sons. But can he be killed in under a minute? I think so and this is how I think it could be done.

You bring one warrior, one paladin, one warlock, one priest, one druid and thirtyfive mages.

Mages can't get aggro on this fight so there is no limit in terms of aggro on how much damage you can do. The thing about Ragnaros is that roots work on him so the idea is to have every mage spec in frostbite and shatter. This will ensure that he is roted at all times and every mage will have +50% crit on him.

The other non mage players will have this function in the raid:
Warrior: Tanking
Paladin: Blessing of kings (more crit for mages) and off tanking in case the warrior gets knocked back.
Warlock: Curse of elements
Priest: Healing the tank and off tank
Druid: Healing the tank and off tank

Since only the tank and off tank will get healed everyone else will need to bring along two fire protection potions so they can keep themself alive. Drink one before the starting and one during if its needed (most likely not).

There will be two prizes. 200 gold to the player with the most amount of damage done to Ragnaros (showing on my damage meter) and 50 gold to the player with the highest crit on him (screenshot). The prizes will only be given out if the kill is successful. That means, in under 1 min. The crit screenshot needs to show Ragnaros dead with the raid window open showing 35 mages in the raid. So you need to filter your combat log only showing your hits. The reason for this is to ensure people are not occupied doing screenshots during the kill but focusing on doing a good job.

Mages should bring Greater Arcane Elixirs, Brilliant Wizard Oil and possibly Flask of Suprime Power.

If you're a mage, with nice +damage gear and interested in doing this post here to show your support.

Include your +frost damage when signing up.

so why cant mages get agro on rag?

His only ranged attack occurs when noone is in melee range.

Rag is a DPS fight? You don't say.

A bunch of combat rogues and fury warriors would down him faster (if they managed not to pull aggro) I reckon.

Frost mages is the way to go.

They take hardly any damage, they do a crapload.

Rogues and Warriors would pull agro, and take more damage.

I doubt it.

Melee needs to run out if the tank gets knocked back, ranged can just sit there blasting away the whole time.

I still kick the shit out of mages on Rag.

Mages just can't do enough DPS to keep up with rogues/Fury.

i would have to agree with well equiped locks, 35 of them would rape rag faster then mages

Because you're in a balanced raid group.

35 rogues/warriors with 0 healers would go terribly.

You wouldn't even need 35, maybe like 32 with 3 extra healers would be plenty.

Take the exact same damage as ranged. Lava splashes.

Agro + knockback, or having to run out.

If they don't run out they need FR gear.
