One of them, Wrath of Ragnaros ("Taste the flames of Sulfuron!") is on a timer and is warned by CTRA. It also only hits targets in melee range. The other is simply called "random explosions" ("By fire be purged!"), targeting a random player, usually standing on the outer rims, and blowing everyone around that player away. As you might expect from the name, they're on a random target and at random times.[right][snapback]95493[/snapback][/right]
Ahhh, THIS explains the sideways-directed Continental Airlines flights we were taking - someone next to us gets smacked by a Random Explosion and we go flying. Any idea what the range is on the explosion effect?
Seems to me that all ranged DPS needs to spread out more, yet, the more they're spread out the harder they are to heal. Self-bandaging is thus critical to survival, as well as knowing how to get out of any lava pit you are flung into.
So, the walls are nice, but if everyone groups up in front of a wall, it just means more pain for everyone. Better some lone mage get knocked back into the lava than 8 players go airborne and suffer 2,000 damage in an instant. This goes double for main tank healers - one blast in that pack and the tanks lose all healing for 4, 5 seconds and the healers have to waste time/mana all healing each other as well.
