Molten Core, Lurker Style!

2) If we're doing two, the Blizzards must come down.  Between the Lava Spawns and the Firelords, it seems the only way to ensure that the battle will end at some point.

4) At one point we gotta say "this isn't working."  If we have 3 Lava Spawns out, chances are we're gonna fail.  Three means we already fell behind ... one Lava Spawn split ... so they're only gonna split again.  At the point 3 are out, would it be worth saying "Full DPS" on one Firelord just to take one out?  I really think we can handle two Firelords at once, but if something goes wrong (Rule One) I think a wipe where we take out a Firelord is much preferable to a half-wipe of people escaping just to do it over again.

I agree. I think that part of the problem with not having enough Blizzards was that we simply didn't have a ton of AoE in the group. We had quite a few hunters, but only one warlock, and only 4 mages for the majority of our attempts, which seems to be about half the normal mage complement for a MC group. The idea of wiping but taking down one Firelord was also brought up by one of the other Basin hunters on the run (Arathandir, IIRC), and with the number of hunters and rogues we had, it might have been possible.

It was disappointing to not get past that pull, but I still had a good time, and would like to thank mjdoom for setting up the run, and for helping many (including me!) get the MC discovery quest done. It was fun to group up with Lurkers, Carpe Aurum, and Natural Selection members as well. :)
