Noobing Molten Core

Quote:2.) Unlike in many other instances recovery from wipe is very difficult, as you don't have safe zones and time to recover sucessfully (at least in the zone I have seen so far; it is perhaps possible if erveryone knows what to do and acts accordingly, but see point 1). Very much like traversing the prime roots in "Saga of Ryzom" knowledge about pathing and timing of mobs is key to sucessfully master this area of MC. This quite surprising because most of WoW Instances are rather static were you move from one pullto another without any significant time restraints (although in Dire Maul West there are also pathing and timing issues with patrols to consider).
Once you kill Magmadar, the big version of those Core Hounds, wipe recovery becomes a thousand times easier. The Core Hounds have a remarkably short respawn timer (18 minutes!), and the large wander path is a bit of a pain. You guys were rather unfortunate in that you wiped at one point where 4 of their paths converge... which is pretty much where you should just corpserun.
Excluding the Ancient Core Hounds (and core surgers, but those are CC'able), most of the mobs in Molten Core are static, so once you get past the second bridge you really do get chances to recover normally from wipes.

Quote:3.) Fire resistance, nuff said.
Fire resistance is actually fairly overrated until you get to the "Flame Packs", piles of elementals that have a bad habit of chaincasting two or three 3k damage fireballs at any druids nearby. Before them, you really shouldn't be getting hit by fire enough to justify the loss in stats.
For tanks, a large health bar is preferable to spiky damage absorbtion. Once they've got enough health, FR can be a viable loss for encounters, but not as many as you'd think.

Quote:4.) Dedicate some priests to dispelling and secondary healing (no shamans can't dispell magic like paladins do)
This is incredibly important, and one of the biggest pains for Horde raiding guilds. Wait until you get further into the instance. Soul Burn isn't even the worst thing you'll find - nothing says love like a manaburn DoT or a ShadowWord : Pain capable of killing a tank on its own.

Quote:5.) We need a German Version of CT-Raidassist, because the English Version on top of the German Client doesn't display debuffs (some really sadistic devoloper also translated the internal script language for the German and French versions, so that debuffs are not identified because of their new German/French names by the English CT-Raidassist).
I'll tell TS about that bug, but I dunno if he or kayun will be willing to fix problems for a client they don't own. In the meantime, you may want to use Decursive, found here http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=643, which is supposed to have German compatibility. It's a bit of an easy-mode thing, but in the short term it's probably better than manually clicking every member of a raid.
