I will not move when Flame Wreath is cast or the raid blows up.
You thought Blizzard was going to neuter the damage
You thought Blizzard was going to dumb it down.
You thought it'd be survivable.Nope
Blizzard instead upped the damage. Flame wreath will not just harm you a lot like it did back in the day - it will kill you.
So everyone, repeat after me: I will not move when Flame Wreath is cast, or the
raidparty blows up
