The first attempt, after Tuft, I was 2nd to be the bomb. It took 5 seconds for me to get over the shock, then I turned and ran straight for the wall safe zone through a mass of people where I promptly exploded. In the 2nd attempt I was bombed by no less than 3 people and ran away from another 2. It was a hellafun fight. :-)

Congrats guys. Baron is one of the funnest bosses in the game, IMHO.
I think most of our rogues know their place enough :P not to do any extra procs. Don't know for sure, but I don't usually see any unusual debuffs there. I think all the trash debuffs we can afford are used by "deep wound" or whatever that warrior one is. Edit after reading thottbot news: Blue post The interesting part here is the fact that a debuff priority system is planned for 1.8. This should fix the issue.

And that's a special kind of thrill I couldn't get by just going to an experienced guild's raids, the thrill of discovery and achievement. I was next to you the first time you were the bomb and was wondering why you just stood there, OUCH! I like when I checked my DPS meter after dieing from being the bomb. It listed my DPS as 1992.3 which if you know paladins only happens in their dreams :)

There I am minding my own business whacking on Geddon when I hear over Vent that I'm the bomb. Now, usually we have someone running an announce mod that says in raid chat if you are the bomb but I didn't get the warning because I was too far away from the announcer. This meant that I was moving too late and blew up not far from Geddon... Being a warrior with almost full health the bomb didn't kill me though and I went flying through the air. Came down with a big crash and took my fall damage and lo and behold I was still alive! But alas, I landed directly next to Geddon who had now decided to go into ground pulse mode. When I landed he was on roughly pulse 7 and even though I resisted almost 2000 damage from the pulse I died... I survived the bomb, I survived the fall, and yet I still died to the stupid ground pulse... one day I'll survive that battle :-/ - mjdoom

Thinking about this a bubbled paladin who's the bomb should rather implode than explode...

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!

Nope, going bearform doesn't clear it but it does give druids extra hitpoints, all the better to survive being blown up.

Vil on the other hand had backed up a bit...so I ran right for the wall...right past Vil...I did blow up away from everyone, but Vil almost had a heart attack... :whistling: :P

The best anti-bomb move I ever saw a druid pull was running away, bearforming, getting bombed, then unshifting and Nature's-Swiftness-Healing-Touch-ing to heal himself in midair before landing.

I believe druids can also switch to cat form, which mitigates the fall damage from the bomb.

Bomb goes off. Bubble flashes and expands with a loud *WHOOM*. Bubble dissipates. A statue of pally ash crumples to the ground. :lol: Come on Bliz, you guys can give us that! I have faith.
