In the meantime, the devs have had enough time to get feedback on the current Raid Molten Core and intervene.
Unfortunately, they remain silent and the players feel left alone.
More and more players on our server stop playing, because MC is just really bad for some classes.
Starting with the fact that there is so much to dispell for the few people in the raid. So priests, mages, paladins and druids always have to dispel forever.
Then there’s the nonsense that Magmadar and Goldemag are constantly spinning like a Beyblade and Ferals are really pissed off because they can’t shred.
The same is also the case with the boss Molten Core. It is sometimes very rng whether you can shred there or not. Even if the tank has aggro.
Or there’s no Bad Luck Protection on Gheddon and if you’re unlucky you get the bomb 5 times in a row.
It’s classic and classic should be there for parses. Not only that the bosses sometimes behave so rng, this nonsense with the heat levels was so unnecessary. Just give every boss a normal mechanic and red Firedamge screwed up by 100% etc… But no, we have to take off our cool gear and put on FR stuff, which of course isn’t good.
If BWL doesn’t get significantly better, even more of us will stop playing SOD. We have finished with MC and doesnt excpect a change butplease, just make BWL better.

This is exactly how it was in Classic too. You either do the mechanics or you get a good parse. We had to loot ban one of our mages because he wouldn’t decurse due to wanting to parse back in 2019.
Chromaggus is going to make you cry, sorry.
I hope they got the feedback that Molten Core is great.
Outside of fire res bp for h2/h3 instead of just higher dmg that scales down with fr instead.
Oh yes because every casual guild gives a damn about parses, but the only way to get a parse if you kill a boss. That leads to doing mechanics. Parse clowns are the worst of the raiding team, and I do care about my own performance even as a raid lead.
Even with prep work and time I still see the worst people getting the PIs and whatnot for not even doing what they provide, dispels and decurses. Unironically I should take more drastic action against the slacks in the team I do RLing for.
Okay that is unironically true, it is so bad and I don’t even get why they spin like that.
This made me chuckle abit, not gonna lie. Good one.
On a more serious note, the only downside with the current MC is the Fire res needed for h2/3.
I dont mind having harder difficulties for higher heat, but having to farm multiple sets just to be able to raid puts me off. But maybe im not the targeted audience, and thats fine.
Let the raid gear be the best gear for the raid (and pvp gear for pvp, but thats a different discussion :P)
The biggest issue with MC isn’t even MC itself, it’s how much of your damage comes from world buffs and consumables.
World buffs add around 30% damage and consumables around 15%, at least for enh shamans. You easily chug consumables worth 50-60 gold per raid - way more if you’re progressing. And every time you want to stock up on world buffs you gotta go to DMF, rund around Felwood and pay 10g for the DMT buffs (or organize a run).
For the love of god, prevent all these consumables from stacking with each other and at least remove the DMT buffs.
To actually get back to MC itself. It’s a joke of course, but I can imagine how boring is must be for the dispel/decurse classes. It’s not even a challenging mechanic, it’s just bothersome.
The Raids in Era or Classic SoD aren’t difficult. Some Players want to push there Classes to the Limit.
This isnt that easy in MC because the bosses arent polished.
I mean a Boss who spins permanent so that cats cant do really play.
When u need to dispell or decurse the whole fight without doing dmg, isnt that great.
There are many Bosses in MC who really suck and still no Post from the Devs.
Whoever came up with the Heat mechanics made it super easy for themselves. It’s only there to stretch the content.
With a little more enthusiasm, 1-2 new mechanics could have been added or a Fire Rot Dmg that you can only play well with better gear.
Anyway, if BWL disappoints like this, more people will quit and thats for sure.
Ima be honest i think the fire res is a good idea, could be lowered by like 40 on heat 3 though and I wouldn’t mind.
Having these hard caps means you introduce design space for items, not everything is Int, Stam and SP or whatever.
Introducing other important stats means you can expand proffesions without having it just be better or worse than what already exist.
Next you could introduce an underwater raid and expand proffesion items/enchants with swimming speed and we can zoom around at 120% for example (please don’t use this one.)
No it’s a dumb idea gating raids through horrible annoying resi gear farming.
Well then we’ll never get any proffesion updates since whatever it would be, would just be replacing what already exists.
Think it’s great since it doesn’t lock any raids, just turn down the heat.
Youre exactly the kind of player classic doesnt need.
Want to mindlessly hit a dmg pinata? Go back to retail and hit target dummies then you wont have to do anything

play a warlock and spend half the raid time ressing your pet as it get one shot by near being looked at
Enjoyed MC since day 1, there is 3 fights you have to some dispelling on as a mage, seems fine 
waaaa waaaa waaaa i have to press buttons that isn’t just min/max damage rotations
waaaa waaa waaaa i have to farm FR gear and can’t just use an online guide to give me all my BiS items and actually have to think about how to itemise my own FR gear
Stop crying and play the game, its supposed to have random mechanics and different things to do other than spam damage. If you want a parse simulator go hit a target dummy
