Ragnaros, the ancient God of fire, has eluded the World of Warcraft players ever since the game was first released. However, very recently he was first slayed in America and shortly there after in Europe. This is a video of one of the first kills of him by the European guild Nilbog.

Just spawning Ragnaros is a pain and once spawned he has some abilities that has made the encounter very difficult. The main thing is that after certain intervals he despawns and turns into eight smaller mobs which you must kill in a short amount of time or you will have to fight them and Ragnaros at the same time. Also, the smaller mobs mana burns everything close to them so they are extremely deadly against casters. The counter to this is fairly simple, bring as much DPS (damage per second) as possible in order to make him spawn the sons of flames just once and bring him down so fast you won't be drained of all mana. If you want max DPS in World of Warcraft, Rogues are the way to go.

The movie has ventrilo chat for the most part and gives a good insight from a Rogue perspective on how to effectively slay the toughest boss in the game. There is a slight volume increase in the middle of the movie so be aware of that.

Thanks to #manpowered for hosting the movie.
