The New Ragnaros

[MongoJerry]

There's some grumbling on the official forums about the new much tougher Ragnaros (the group I raid with was at a complete loss on how to handle him on the day of the patch), and this post just made me smile:

Don't worry about it; they'll re-nerf him when Blackwing Lair comes out.

Then they can re-buff the Tier 2 set items, and as people progress through Blackwing Lair, they'll nerf the zone, then accidentally nerf the Tier 2 set items again, then re-buff those in a later patch, where they buff Nefarian and consider buffing his loot (because he'll probably drop a +8 SPR/+12 Arcane dmg caster choker). Then they'll nerf Nefarian once again when Zul'Gurub comes out and buff his loot, while buffing the Tier 2 set items once again. However, while Karazhan is Under Development, they'll re-re-buff Nefarian by fixing the 'bugs' they produced in the patch where they re-nerfed him.

As for Ragnaros? He'll probably be re-re-nerfed a few times during Blackwing Lair, to provide a zone for pick-up raids to progress through. However, if there are too many going through it, they'll re-buff Molten Core and Ragnaros, and, at a later date, re-re-re-nerf Ragnaros (probably when they nerf Karazhan). When Karazhan is nerfed, however, they'll have to re-buff Medivh's Evil Ghost while the Caverns of Time is in development, and re-re-nerf Medivh's Evil Ghost when Caverns of Time comes out. Since Caverns of Time is only a 5-man zone, they'll have to "fix the bugs" with Medivh and accidentally re-buff him while accidentally re-nerfing the loot, as Hyjal is under development.

With me so far? Good!

So, as people progress through Hyjal, Blackwing Lair will be re-re-nerfed and Karazhan will be re-nerfed, and when they get to the top of the mountain and face Lord Kazzak's Older Brother, they'll buff him while they re-buff Karazhan as a way to stop the uber guilds from progressing; however, while they are re-buffing Karazhan, parts of Hyjal will be 'fixed' (a.k.a. nerfed) while they re-re-re-re nerf Blackwing Lair and buff the Tier 3 items (as a stealth nerf to make Hyjal easier). Of course, they'll have to nerf the Tier 4 items so people will be confused and revert back to the Tier 3 items. However, when Lord Kazzak's Older Brother is defeated, they'll re-buff the Tier 4 items, re-nerf the Tier 3 items, re-re-nerf the Tier 2 items and re-buff the Tier 1 items, while re-re-re-re-nerfing Blackwing Lair and re-re-re-nerfing Karazhan, in order for the pick-up guilds to progress through a nerfed Hyjal, but a buffed Nefarian and buffed Medivh's Evil Ghost.

And then Emerald Dream comes out...

So funny, because it's so true.
