Actually the thing that bothers me most about Archimonde is the whole 'dps doesn't matter just stay alive' part. I have honestly seen a warlock 100+ yards away from fire running in a small circle for 20 seconds to get ready for a fear. It strikes me that, if you're not even going to *TRY* to damage the boss...WHY ARE YOU THERE?! This is made worse by the fact that when said warlock or priest or whatever *does* get chased by fire, they (a) die or (b) kite it into the raid.
Yeah, we've had two different mages crater in as many weeks. Mages. I'm pretty sure that as a mage, you can slam your face into your keyboard and have better than even odds that you'd hit something that would save you from cratering. They do have the good grace to feel bad about it, but what drives me crazy about Archimonde is that no amount of clutch play from the rest of the raid will save you from one or a few people making mistakes.
