Quote:Rag is likely a while off unless you can convince people of the utter importance of FR gear beforehand. Good luck. THe only way I've ever seen people believe FR gear (or any other resist gear) is needed is to get in, do the fight, and realize that you CAN NOT survive without the resist levels.
While this may be true for your melee characters, ranged really don't need any or much. My priest wears her normal gear for Rag now (gives maybe 70-80 fire res?), and does not bother with fire prot potions (although these can help tremendously when you're learning the encounter). Consumables that up your dps also help. Ragnaros really is all about dumping as much dps into the big firework before his fire damage becomes a problem, and too many people overgimp their dps for unnecessary fire res. If you learn the positioning and how to get out of the lava should people get the spacing wrong and send you flying, you're good to go.
You don't know what you're talking about.
