Ragnaros

*DOWN GOES FRASER! DOWN GOES FRASER!*

Recap:

After a good nights rest and some serious farming, EG was ready for another shot at Ragnaros on Sunday night.  We headed in, confident that we would down him this time and bask in the eternal glory that would surely be ours.

After downing Domo again and heading into Rag’s inner sanctum the nerves started to kick up a bit.  It was doable, no question about it. But so many unknowns, so many things that could go wrong…you could cut the tension with a knife.

Finally the time had arrived.  Major Domo summoned Ragnaros and we set about showing him who was really running shit in Molten Core. After a tough battle Rag came out on top once more, with only 1% health again when we wiped.

The second attempt was a bit messy, so we won’t go into great detail, let it suffice to say that it wasn’t quite as close to a victory as the last few attempts had been.

Running low on potions and getting to be a bit late into the night, we decided to give it one last all-out, balls-to-the-walls attempt.

You could see it in his eyes from the beginning, Rag knew that something was different this time.  Maybe it was the confident way we strode towards him on that final attempt, maybe it was the gleam of defiance in our eyes, or the look of a man with nothing more to lose and everything to gain on our battle worn faces.  Whatever the case, we could all sense the inevitable outcome of this final confrontation.

The atmosphere was electric.  The only sounds to be heard were the constant pounding of magical essence and tempered steel against Ragnaros’ fiery body.

We were running short on time.  Only moments before another son spawn would occur.  It’s now or never!  Pour it on!  DOTs DOTs!  Priests too!  GOGOGOGO!

Then…a huge blast of fire where moments ago the fire lord had stood!

As the soot and ash cleared, nothing of the once mighty Ragnaros remained; save for his giant hammer.  As it began to sink slowly into the lava never to be seen by mortal eyes again, we celebrated our victory EG style.

Congrats to everyone who helped down Ragnaros this weekend. Congrats, and a big thanks to everyone who helped us get to this point. It’s not every day that a group of individuals can come together and accomplish something of this magnitude.  There are few feelings quite as good as finishing a task of this size and difficulty, I’m glad I was able to be there when it happened.  I feel privileged to be able stand in the company of players of such dedication and skill, and to bask in the glory of a victory so hard fought for, and so well earned.

So here’s to a job well done, to a journey finally finished, and another that is just about to begin!
