Every week, WoW Insider brings you The Light and How to Swing It for holy, protection and retribution paladins. Protection specialist Matt Walsh spends most of his time receiving concussions for the benefit of 24 other people, obsessing over his hair (a blood elf racial!), and maintaining the tankadin-focused blog Righteous Defense.

Ragnaros, the Fire Lord, returns from vanilla WoW with a flaming vengeance as the last boss of the Firelands. Thanks to the recent hotfix nerfs or the culmination of weeks of hard work chipping away at the raid, many groups will be running up against Ragnaros for the first time and throwing their bodies at his waves upon waves of fiery doom.

This encounter is the ultimate «don’t stand in bad» and will require your utmost attention to avoid being burnt to a crisp in an unfortunate moment of tunnel-visioning.

We’ve got an elemental lord to cast down.Continue reading The Light and How to Swing It: Overthrowing the Fire LordFiled under: Paladin, (Paladin) The Light and How to Swing ItThe Light and How to Swing It: Overthrowing the Fire Lord originally appeared on WoW Insider on Fri, 23 Sep 2011 20:00:00 EST.
