I die pretty much everytime on ragnaros. During the wrath phase he will randomly turn around and slap me with his stupid hammer. Am i supposed to auto attack during this phase? What are you other warriors doing to stay alive?
Your tank was knocked away and he turned to you because you were in range.
Move out of wrath and then move back in once you are sure mt or ot has aggro.

I understand why. I am asking how to not get slapped
you tell your MT to start learning how to intercept back in fast

I know we do a taunt rotation on our tanks during the wrath phase…but its like I insta die in between taunts.
There is an aggro dump for anyone that gets knocked into the air.
Good idea
thx
I think it is an aggro dump even if the knockback is resisted. He appears to wipe his aggro table each time.
He does, I’ve always had to taunt him back.
OP, TBH your best bet is to drop a slight bit of dps and tank up just enough to survive the swat. If the tanks are unable to layer their aggro so he’s always on one of them*, he will eventually smack someone else as part of the fight mechanics. If that keeps being you, you should just prepare for it.
*may not be their fault. Spell batching can let an attack through even if properly taunted, and IIRC wrath has a different targeting algorithm than normal. He pretty much always hits multiple targets anyway: he was always hitting 3 or 4 of the same people throughout the fight in my raids.
You run out during wrath and get a threat meter. I only die if i pop reck.

He full wipes aggro when wrath is cast, so you have to treat it like the fight just started everytime. Whatever amount of leeway you normally give your tanks is what you have to give them.

Looks like someone doesn’t know the mechanics behind wrath of ragnaros. Your tank needs more FR or you need to stop going in too early. Wrath is a full aggro reset for all.
Yeah sure does, when wrath is cast it will wipe the aggro of EVERYONE, no matter what.
It also selects 3 random players who are in range and attempts to deal fire damage and knock them away. Fire resist will help with this part if you are selected.

Corrected my posts but yep this is correct. Lots of warriors die if they go back in right away and start heroic striking/bloodthirsting etc because tanks haven’t had time to get caught back up. We have a feral druid tank rag and his threat gen is insane so it’s usually not too much of an issue for us.
He’s tauntable so most tanks should have a few seconds with the taunt aggro buff and fixate. Between that and his threat ignoring ranged cast you only have to wait if the tank is really bad/underequipped.
Not in classic, this is a change that comes later. It only sets your aggro to the top when cast, if cast pre-wrath you net 0 aggro as its wiped when wrath is cast. If cast after it just sets you to the current top threat (So like one hits worth of damage or 0 if no one had hit him yet)
The fixate gives you some time to get ahead if your TPS > the TPS of your DPS.

I have a threat meter and always make sure im not on top. I dont think threat meters recalculate properly on bosses that have a threat wipe mechanic. Just like ony on phase 3 will show tank as highest on threat, but will be aggro’d on a completely different player
