if you can do ragefire with donal's bp (30 sec cast time, no recast time), then wouldn't it work the same with standard cheal on tank (10 sec cast time, ignore the recast), chain manastone (its oldworld content), cheal on cleric (10 sec cast time + recast), repeat? gives you a good 7+ seconds to click a manastone, plus more if you are smart about it. i would be willing to bet a 60 cleric could recoup the mana of 2 cheals by manastoning (just make sure to avoid low hp agro). just did the math quick, i think the cleric would need about 3k hp to avoid low hp agro and see a net gain in mana from this. for sure this is a lot more impressive (and a lot more work) than just mindlessly clicking a bp every 30 seconds, but it is also pretty easily repeatable and standard.
i'm not sure of the merits of having ragefire on a list like this. not to say its not impressive, but there is only one way to kill it (tank+cleric). you couldn't use a charmed pet since it would get feared, and if it had enough MR to resist fear, then you wouldn't be holding it charmed for very long. (EDIT: the fact that there is only one way to kill it doesn't make it unimpressive. its really the cut and dry, overly simplistic method of killing it that, for me, makes it less than god-like)
i would of course love to see what class combo's can duo it (clr/sk?, clr/paly?, clr/ranger?, clr/shaman??) and maybe someone will come out with an impressive non-cleric duo, but any cleric/tank duo seems to be the result of excellent gear + a cut and dry, zero risk strategy. also, i have to ask, are these war/clr duo's getting to ragefire's lair by themselves with a full pop? (a monk/clr could easy do it with FD). i'd bet that you could get by the 4-pull and other mobs on the way, but has it been done?
if i'm talking out my ass, and there is a lot more to the fight, please correct me. i am impressed by this duo, but it also leaves me a bit unfulfilled :/
