Avarice vs. Ragnaros

[Treesh]

I wasn't asserting that it was the right/only way, just that other guilds do use banish.  If we didn't incorporate other guilds' strategies I don't think we'd have made it this far just yet  :)

Blasphemy! ;)

I know, you were just showing supporting strategies for banish, but you gave me the perfect setup to say something that I've been thinking about for a while. Not just on this particular fight, but others. We've tweaked the strategies and tactics that other guilds have used, especially with our varying group compositions, and I hope we will continue to do so. There's very little in this game that has to be done one way and one way only. I do wish we could put our druids' healing to better use than it is right now (although it has been improving on these later bosses), but we have more priests than druids right now so I deal with it. ;) Please note that I'm not saying anything negative about the strategies and tactics decided upon by the raid leaders. Obviously, what we do works. :) I'm just always open to new things to try. :D That's part of the reason why I enjoy the learning raids so much. It's also kind of fun to see what happens when you have only two warlocks for Garr compared to when you have six (yes, count them. We had six warlocks for Garr. It was so unbelievably easy and zergish :) ). It did give us a little practice for figuring out what banished critter was going to be the next one to be eaten and what ones were going to burned down. We still need some practice on that part (as evidenced by some of the pulls last night), but it did give some practice. More practice with "odd" groupings and the easier things will be when (if ;) ) we get optimal groupings. :)

BTW, I just want to say much love to the avarice folks for not forcing anyone into specific builds for raiding. But that's another pet peeve of mine that I'll just leave be since I don't really have to worry about it with Avarice. :D
