2nd. I recon you could push 1 meteor if you used Bloodlust in p3. You're at 13% when the 2nd meteor lands. I know you're at 15,8% when you get announced that the 2nd meteor is incoming and get lucky that WiF pushes the meteor coming down by 9 seconds, but you can time pushing him into the second transition from p2 as he does WiF and shave off that extra 2-3% below the 40% threshold.

@sprasser whilst true it carries far more risk than the method we use. Ragnaros' cast of the 2nd meteor is never accurate. We have seen delays of 10-12 seconds sometimes and carried through with one meteor naturally. Alternatievely has has casted it several seconds before meaning the lust would be wasted in that scenario. Hence we prefer the kill 2 at first breadth which is a reliable fix

[sprasser]

@mikepreachwow the delay is caused by other abilities, mainly WiF, and with such a smooth transition you have with both scions dead going into p3, making the dps with 1 meteor shouldn't he a risk at all.

I forgot to add that when you freeze meteors in p4, Breadth of Frost still exists under the meteor, which is why you can freeze 2 meteors on top of each other. That means that as melee you can move inside the meteor and still be standing in Breadth of Frost while dps'ing and not taking damage.

@sprasser This is not always so, the delay is incredibely random. As I said there can be a 15 second difference give or take either way which is huge for a major dps burn. You can see in the video the scions are dead when rag emerges but I still don't think that the 1 meteor burn is a consistant goal to have in place compared to the 2 meteor 1 breadth kill. As for your other point, being a DK the superheated is of little concern to me with AMS but a good tip for other melee

1st. Follow your own advice and fix your targets debuffs. You really don't have any use to see the entire raids debuffs on your target. At times you have upwards of 60 debuffs shown and it takes up an absurd amount of screenspace. And that screenspace it takes up is right next to your central viewing area.

@sprasser I actually have that turned back on for my movies which allows me to follow what others are doing, beneficial for what I produce and as I raid once a week for less than an hour it's no issue for me. Similar with combat text, I personnaly have no use for it and raided pre youtube wihout that info at all but it benefits the videos I produce.
