This means you need atleast two tanks in your raid and rezzing them quickly so they can get back on the mob to get the next one shot will be crucial. The tanks can be the ONLY people in your raid to die.
You need to kill Rathgar in under 4 minutes ideally with NO ONE but your tanks taking the deaths. This means your total raid dps needs to be around 300-500k dps to achieve this as he does have a decent amount of HP.
But there is more to this fight than just healing through the three Moderate AOE's. He will also spawn one add during the fight every 30 seconds or so. This add needs to die ASAP or it will absorb into the named and Rathgar will gain an adventure level.
Your dps needs to be sick in order to progress passed this mob. This is no special strategy to this guy.

Good Luck!
yea sorry wasn't trying to insult you in anyway,
personally i can't recall the numbers we are doing on rathgar offhand but i know geared out groups easily doing 500-600k on rathgar and smoking him in a min or so.
its all a dps race and keeping people alive - more deaths = faster wipe
Six months ago you want me to remember who was rezzing? Like I said, I wouldn't even have this parse except that it was posted in a thread on the official forums. I was trying to come up with something more comparable to what an entry level (for this zone) guild should be doing. Posting a parse of what we do now wouldn't help Thorguard at all, whereas this old parse is something he and his guild can realistically aim for.
i'll assume the second dirge was the MT dirge and was rezzing the MT/OT when he would one shot the tank?
This is from six months ago, one of our very early kills on Rathgar (different raid lineup in both classes and players, but you can get the idea). There is a thread on the official forums about DPS on this encounter, which is where I got these numbers from six months ago.
Keep in mind that the HP total includes the adds we killed in the process of taking down the mob. (I think!)

exactly, don't forget there is a Epic x 4 add that spawns every 30 seconds or so during the Rathgar fight that also must die or he levels up. Its not just DPS on Rathgar, but also the add and the fact that Rathgar will gain adventure levels so the hit rates begin to drop off QUICK.
