More Ragnaros Thoughts

I don't think enough people realized this is how this part of the fight worked. This is why it is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO SPREAD OUT THAN HAVE YOUR BACK TO A WALL. If people are spead out enough no one takes a lava bath.

The first night we faced Rags, I had moved way to the west. I never got launched. I didn't think about that until reading this thread, largely because, last night, the area that ranged DPS was told to use for their spread seemed to emphasize the use of the wall. In the first fight, the wall worked. I was able to stay up and drop some blizzards on the sons when there was little hope left. The second fight, I found myself bounced twice. The first was into the wall. The second was up/over/around(?) and I found myself deep in the lava, too far out to even get close to finding a shore to climb out on. I think we do need to spread as wide as possible, but that leaves one more thing to be aware of. The sons come out at different places along the ring. People need to be sure to collapse immediately on the call or they will aggro an emerging son and/or get smacked by the mana burn.
