When the boss yells "Burn in the master's fire", one person gets a debuff for a few seconds that hurts them and those around them, so that person should move away from others.

I believe the debuff is called Curtain of Flame and looks like a green fire.

Ragnaros is part of the Old God's army. We don't know if they are enemies with the Burning Legion. But it is likely, since Azeroth is desired by both sides and their forces have fought each at least other a couple of times. Like in Mount Hyjal --- wowpedia.org/Quest:The_Greater_of_Two_Evils --- Also, in the comics, Cho'gall (minion of the Old Gods) says to Valeera (possessed by a dreadlord): "Which one of our masters will, in the end, own this world?" --- When gazing for complete world domination, one does not share power.

That is every comment on this page.
