Phase/Transition Abilities: Wrath of Ragnaros - Sulfuras Smash -Hand of Ragnaros - Magma Blast

Tanks stand front and center 6 yards apart. Ragnaros' attacks will cause Burning Wound which then causes Burning Blast. Switching at 4 stacks(or when the debuff has worn off) of Burning Blast or when the debuff has worn out.

Melee DPS Is best placed on the same side(a healer can cover them that way) if unless there are 3 or more, where as there should be one or more on the other side.

Ranged DPS Should be spread out between healers

Healers Should all be in ranged of both tanks, and one healer in range of both melee DPS

Phase/Transition Abilities: Splitting Blow - Lava Bolt - Son of Flame - Burning Speed -

TanksDo an auto hit on the elemental(making sure its active), then stun it and use a small CD(1 min) and any burst dmg to get the elemental below 50%HP. Kill it before it reaches hammer.

Melee DPSDo an auto hit on the elemental(making sure its active, if its moving its active), then stun if able and or use burst dmg to get the elemental under 50%HP, kill it and help kill other elementals.

Ranged DPSYou can usually start casting as soon as the elemental appears, but make sure it hits the elemental as it starts moving. If your elemental is under 50% and you see one that is not, then switch target to the one above 50%, then kill both when slowed. Use stuns if needed.

HealersRemember there is still a bit of healing needed, else help out with stuns or a bit of dmg. on the elementals where it's needed.

Since there will ALWAYS be atleast 2 elementals on each side of the hammer, those 4 spots(2 on each side) can be assigned permanently, making it easier to remember. Further more the last Ranged DPS (the one furthest away from hammer) should be the one going to the other side if hammer is in the middle. Doing it this way, will have all but one assigned to the same elemental each time.

Do not get too close to the hammer (about 6 yards) it does dmg.

The elementals can be stunned but not slowed other than when they get below 50%HP

Phase ends when all 8 Elementals are dead.

Phase/Transition Abilities: Sulfuras Smash - - Engulfing Flames - Molten Seed Caster - Molten Inferno - Magma Blast

TanksDoes the same as in Phase 1 but stand on the RIGHT side of Ragnaros. If the Engulfing Flames falls where the melees are, then move out of it quickly and resume tanking. Ragnaros will still be in melee range. Do note, that turning your back to an enemy will prevent you from doing any avoidance (this might have been changed a bit though). A trick is to stand a bit with the side to Ragnaros, thereby being able to strafe out instead of walking balkwards.

Ranged DPS Make sure you aren't too far from Ragnaros. If the Engulfing Flames falls where the ranged DPS are, then move out of it fast. Don't panic if you get cut off from the others. If Molten Seed Caster comes, then run to the middle and wait for Engulfing Flames to wear off before stacking up with the rest of the raid. Walking through Engulfing Flames will either kill you or severely reduce your HP. Further more this face is not really meant as a nuke, though it might seem to be. All DPS should be able to do about the same DPS(a bit lower) without looking in the eyes. Stop thinking about DPS in this phase and think about moving correctly.

Healers2 Healers (the best for tank healing) go to the RIGHT side. While not stacked up is when you can get your small CD's get ready for the next huddle/stacking. Your focus should be at tanks and when stacking (AoE healing).

This Phase is about raid performance. Though it's made easy enough to ignore most of it, then it is intended to test the raid as a groupt and the members in it for movement, awareness and teamwork - NUUUUKE followed by zombie DPS focus won't get you far here.

At 40% HP the second transition will start. Therefor it is a good idea to time your DPS, so that you don't start second transition with Molten Seed Caster.

The first time you stack there will be Engulfing Flames so don't stand too close to Ragnaros and be on your toes, howes etz.

The second time you stack a Sulfuras Smash AKA Hammer will come, so stack close to Ragnaros.

Summing up this phase: Spread out and let the Molten Seed Caster fall (remember to be 6 yards apart), then stack in front of Ragnaros and watch out for what kind of damage he will use at you, while the Molten Inferno 's are coming towards you. Then AoE them down and spread out and repeat. Remember to time the DPS for 40%!

Phase/Transition Abilities: Splitting Blow - Lava Bolt - Son of Flame - Burning Speed - - Lava Scion - Blazing Heat

Lava ScionLava Scion

I think this transitions is a vital point in the fight and I suggest using Bloodlust to get elementals and the Lava Scion dealt with quickly, so Phase 3 doesn't come too inconveniant and as a bigger stress monument.

Do not get too close to the hammer (about 6 yards) it does dmg.

The elementals can be stunned but not slowed other than when they get below 50%HP

Phase ends when all 8 Elementals are dead.

Phase/Transition Abilities: Sulfuras Smash - - Engulfing Flames - Living Meteor - Meteor Impact - Combustible - Lavalogged - Magma Blast

Tanks Tanks Ragnaros while watching out for Living Meteor. If you get targeted then remember that you have to use ranged dmg.(means dont melee it) to get it off you. It will get knocked back so make sure your not hitting someone else when doing so. Use everything you have to stay alive.

Melee DPSShould be on the sides of Ragnaros(while in range of healer(s)). Then if targeted by Living Meteor, You can kite it all the way up along side of Ragnaros or down to the corner away from Ragnaros. This way the next one targeted by the Living Meteor will have more time to do the same. Remember you have to use some form of ranged dmg on the Living Meteor to knock it back and thereby changing target.

Ranged DPS Should be spread out around Ragnaros(while in range of healer(s)). Then if targeted by Living Meteor, You kite it all the way up along side of Ragnaros or down to the corner away from Ragnaros. This way the next one targeted by the Living Meteor will have more time to do the same. Remember to use some form of ranged dmg on the Living Meteor to knock it back and thereby changing target.

Healers Should be in range of tanks as much as possible. Tanks are priority(unless your told otherwise). If targeted by Living Meteor, You kite it all the way up along side of Ragnaros or down to the corner away from Ragnaros. This way the next one targeted by the Living Meteor will have more time to do the same. Remember to use some form of ranged dmg on the Living Meteor to knock it back and thereby changing target. Try to cover the are most efficient. ie. 3 healers, 1=left side, 1=middle and 1=right side while all in range (or close to) of the tanks. Use everything to keep people alive.

The last Phase where "hell" more or less breaks lose. There will be a lot of stuff going on, but try do it as Phase 1, just with a couple of extra bonus things to watch for.

At 10% HP the fight ends with... You will see :)

If you take it as Phase 1, there will be Living Meteor & Engulfing Flames in addition. So if people don't panic and start knocking Living Meteor into eachother and walking too much in the Engulfing Flames. Then it will all go more or less as in Phase 1.

The trick is usally that either too many are dead, too low DPS on Ragnaros or healers having to heal too long or too much, running out of mana. To prevent most of this is very simple. Focus on controlling the fight, while doing a bit of DPS on Ragnaros - Time shouldn't be any concern really.

Updated:

- Spells (all spells should be shown correctly now)
- NPCs (NPCs should be shown correctly now)
- Tab frame
- Table of Contents (removed the ToC. It seemed irrelevant)
- Headline (fixed that there was 2 headlines.)

I have added all spells mentioned in the abilities tab, so the ones that wasn't shown in the abilities here Ragnaros are shown aswell!

Boy I miss the days creating boss guides.... :(
Not even playing WoW anymore *sigh*
Made these guides complete from scratch, and I wrote all the BBCode in them too.

I wonder if it even helped more than just a couple of people...? Well, as long as it helped someone :)
