Welcome back to the tanking of the great, big, fiery guy waiting for you at the end of the Firelands instance. Hopefully you’ve had some fun with the big lug already and let’s hope that we’ll manage to land a kill together.

So last week, we took a break due to the length of the fight and we stopped after that little intermission phase after phase one which should be very familiar to those of you that have taken him on in his original incarnation. You’ve got to wonder a bit what the hell he’s doing when he’s out of sight though, as if he figures that it’s better to take a little break instead of beating on you incessantly.

But I digress.

At long last, we come to the final boss of the normal Firelands raid instance, Ragnaors.

For those of you familiar with his original Molten Core incarnation, this reunion will either be a fun one or something that sends you away screaming, all depending on what type of guild you were in back in vanilla WoW.

As this fight is split into a number of phases and is arguably the most complex of the boss fights in this raid instance, we’ll be splitting this fight up into two articles to help deal with some of the complexities in a bit more depth.
