    I've been though MC 2 times up to magnadar (the second "boss" fight if you count Lucifron as a boss) lucifron 4 times total.  We killed Lucifron on our first try, and the last time we did it he killed about 25-30 of us and we finished him off with about 15 people.  The pulls are ugly and the bosses, and mini bosses have tons of life, (i believe Magnadar has about 750,000 hp).  There is definatly a need of skilled leaders, and a group of 40 people that can take directions, and listen to them.  Every boss fight takes completely different tactics and lots of trys :) to perfect.  On our fourth try Lucifron died in 1-1.5 hrs of starting the instance. learn to love frost spells mages, and do your homework on the fights, and other than that, keep trying. :p
    GOOD LUCK ON MC GUYS

        Blizz has mentioned "Hero Classes" which everyone ive talked to assumes is some kinda of level cap increase. I dont know if thats true, it could also be additional classes (besides warrior, mage, ect) that have to be leveled from 1. But if Blizz does plan on raising caps it will not be for a long long long long long time. (3 months between patches here, come on.) If they do raise caps, yes, MC will be much less difficult. I assume that the maraudon bosses would seem very godly to a group of lv 20s. But if the cap goes up (haha) dont you think they would add even higher lv dungons? that would be beyond impossible for lv 60's? just my 2c

            Dont ever say shit like molten core is easy or its not difficult blah blah, of course it is, it takes great teamwork, it takes good tactics, it takes preparation, and a swift execution of the plan, it takes the ability to cope with the bosses special abilities, it takes a lot of stuff to do it right. Of course when your guild has done it multiple times, and begin to know what to do it turns into a sorta routine or know how, but that dont mean its not difficult.

            And yall saying stuff like, its easy... are just abunch of idiots that should find amore challenging game if everything is so easy for you. *grumbles*

                            We did great, until Lucifron, we managed to kill all the hounds, but Lucifron viped us in 30 sec, because some other mobs joined the fight. I had a SS and ressed, and we tried again and pulled lucifron perfeckt. But we got viped even faster this time. Can someone tell me a tacktick to kill this F?

                            First of all, don't let anyone get near the Fire Imp cave to your left. It will wipe the entire raid if someone aggros anywhere near that opening while you are fighting Lucy. Secondly, setup your main tank party like this:

                            Warlock, Warrior x2, Priest, Paladin.

                            Have the MT Warrior in this group stand as far north as you can without aggroing more of the core hounds. You need him north to avoid his nasty 30yrd curse hitting your entire raid. Lucifron hits pretty hard to be prepared with a series of healers devoted to your main tank. Discuss this beforehand. The second Warrior in this group serves as "mind control" protection. If your MT falls victim to this effect, your OT in the MT party needs to pickup Lucy and keep him away from the rest of your raid south.

                            Position 1 Hunter near the main tank party and 2 other Hunters nearby. Have your main Hunter pull Lucifron to your designated MT party location. Your other two Hunters will pickup his guards and run them south. As the guards reach your raid, have 2 protection specc'd Warriors off-tank them.

                            Kill your OT targets.
                            Kill Lucifron.

                            I recommend 3 Greater Stoneshield Potions for whoever is MT on Lucifron. Right as the Hunter pulls, drink it. Keep an eye on your potion cooldown timer. When the potion runs out and your cooldown is up, drink another.

                            Annoying fight if you don't setup correctly.

                              -follow the hallway until you are in a large circular room.  head to your left, toward a large chain.
                              -on the path, there should be a conveiniently placed rock formation forming a ramp to the chain, hop up, and take a right down the chain.
                              -follow the series of doors, halways and catwalks down until you find another chain, which you will also decend.  talk to the night elf in front of you, get the MC attunment quest, take the door on your right, follow the caverns to the portal leading to Blackrock Depths
                              -pray to god your group knows how to do the short easy way to finish the attunment quest
                              -touch the rock your knowledgeable group tells you to for quick access in the future, then hop into the large green portal.
                              -congrats you are now in MC
                              -for easy epics, head into MC until you see 2 really big rock lookin things (Molten Giants), and charge in and pwn them, u should be able to solo them, theyre just there to reward people for getting to their raid on time
                              -after you collect your epics, head back out of the green portal, to find yourself right in front of the night elf that gave you the quest.
                              -turn in the quest
                              -touch the crystal to his left, or run through the window to the left of the crystal to get back in MC

                            A few things here, strats for each boss and 90% of each drop would be phat loot=epics

                            Lucifron-AOE curse so have whoever can decurse on that and something else I can't remember, and have the 2 guards taken down near the wall while having him tanked right of core hounds

                            Magmadar-AOE fear=tremor totems if horde, snot balls=just stay the hell outta them, enrage=hunter tranq shot so get on TS and have 2 teams do that

                            Gehenas-AOE Rain of Fire=Just stay outta that, Random Shadow Bolt-ground totems if horde and shadow prot, AOE curse-dont remember which one it is but just have whoever had decurse on it, take out his guards blah!!

                            Garr-Straightforward fight, banish at least 4 of his minions, have Voidwalkers on those 4 and kill the others, I know for every one you kill I believe he gains +200 damage and some % to his attack speed, and if the minions happen to be close to him when he gets to 20% he starts to blow them up

                            Baron-AOE curse (gayest curse in my opinion) decurse blah blah, AOE flame pulse run outta it if Melee, and DA Bomb which is all you can do is run the hell outta the raids way into a wall and you will explode for huge damage

                            Shaz-AOE Arcane Explosion (so basically this is a ranged fight), AOE curse duh lol blah, Dedine magic or whatever so have a Mage cast detect Magic on him and have Shammies or whoever spam purge or whatever can remove friendly buffs from enimies, and has a blink so whoever he blinks to run to the tank imedialy, but also I have seen him tanked in the hallway leading to him and Baron and he didn't seem to blink at all for some strange reason so if somebody could prove me thats true then I'd thank you (if you do prove it send me an e-mail at Gyardos_99@yahoo.com)

                            Sulf-kill 4 guards blah

                            Golemagg-have both core ragers tanked but you can't kill them so no DPS on them just DPS Golemagg, so this means its an endurance fight :( aka long ass fight

                            Majordomo-sheep the 4 priests and kill one of the elites, then kill another elite, and then kill all the priests until they are down, then finally move to the elites again lol and kill them all until they are all down and Majordomo submits since you can't kill him cuz he summons Raggy who some you don't know exactly what the hell he is which would be a really big as hell Firelord duh (haven't you dumbasses ever played WC3)

                              Its up to you or you guild to decide what instance to do first. But my guild went to Onyxia before we did MC. And off course you have to all the prequest to both instances. The prequest for Onyxia is 19 quests in chain (if a remember correctly).

                            Everybody got same problems on massive-curses by the boss..Lucifron- do massive curses/magic spells so (Mage/Priest) will handle this make sure u have "Decursive Addon" this will help u a lot, Priest wont do healing unless its necessary, Let Druid, shaman/paladin heals tank and the rest. Dont depend on the healers all the time, You can "Bandage" yourself if possible coz this is really a long fight and healers surely run-out of mana.

                            Lucifron continuesly spamming those spells in every 30secs..so be quick on dispelling/decursing it.

                            Tips:

                            1.) Main-Tank on Lucifron , Off-tanks on 2-adds.
                            2.)Take down the adds first. (Dps as u can)
                            3.)In every 30-secs Lucifron will spam curses/magic spells..so 5 secs before he spam it everyone will run back to wall (to avoid the curse) except for Main-Tank <--- OVERHEALING NECESSARY.

                            Hope this will help your raid group, Tips is proven and tested 100% success.

                              Ok, I'll answer your questions one by one.

                              1) No you cant summon Ragnaros outside of the core and get the guards to kill him, I heard it was done at the end of beta for some fun, but it's not possible now, so forget it.

                              2) You need very little fire rez throughout the whole of Molten Core, only the main tanks need fire rez, and even then it's only really needed for taking care of groups of trash mobs that deal fire damage (lava packs), if you do intend to kill Ragnaros then you will need fire rez, but there are 9 bosses before him, all drop very good equipment.

                              3) getting into a raid group (not the same as a guild), you require 5 man instance experience, no how to play your class in a group that benefits your group and not just yourself, get the best equipment you can outside of Molten Core, then ask politely and sell yourself, tell them you work well with others, are reliable and have good equipment, it;s tough to get into raid groups, since they only take very good players.

                              4) the "epic" mace you talk about isnt epic at all, 99% of drops in Molten Core are epic, with a few LEGENDARY components droppin here and there, these make one of two LEGENDARY weapons, a 2 handed mace called "Sulfuras Hand of Ragnaros" and a one handed sword called "Thunderfury", without going too much into detail both items are very hard to craft, they require several legendary components and large quantities of other items, example being 100 arcanite bars, these sell for approxiimately 30gold each, thats 3000 gold not including the legendary drops from MC.

                              You wont find many components for these on the AH, and most likely wont get a legendary weapon from your time in Molten Core, your raid group will distribute the Legendary drops to classes most suited to them, (tanks for Thunderfury) or in the case of Sulfuras Hand of Ragnaros it becomes a raid groups status symbol, "look that guy has Sulfuras, which raid group is he in?"
                              you have to work hard to get legendary weapons, very hard.

                              5) Several NPC's around Azeroth wear tier 1 armour (molten core armour), the warrior equivalent is in Cenarion Hold in Silithus, the big cheese so to speak wears it, your best bet is to sit in Orgrimmar and ask in general, there should be plenty wearing tier 1, Shamans set is known as "Earthfury", alternatively the Wow website has an armour viewer which shows tier 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and now even 3.

                              To summarise, think long and hard if you want to raid, it isnt easy and requires a serious time investment, Legendary drops are for a lucky few, forget about these for now and maybe one day you'll get yours.

                              In my honest opinion WoW is all about raiding, it's a very dull game if you dont raid, (or at least it becomes dull after levelling 3 or more characters and running each 5 man instance 20+ times, raiding is challenging and rewarding, and for the most part "hardcore", not for the casual gamer, still...dont rule it out till you try it, there are some very good raid groups out there which require a mature and dedicated player but only a few hours per raid, the time investment isnt as bad as you think :D

                              I digress, as always, post closed.

                                Well I disagree. The Boss encounters in ZG are a lot harder than the MC ones. The ZG Bosses are better scripted and try to do things that surprise the Raid. MC Bosses are far inferior to the ZG Bosses. Most MC BossEncounters have no different phases. Mobs do the same during the whole encounter. The group doesnt have to change a thing during the whole fight.

                                You can easily see this if you compare the strategies for those two instances. The fight for example with Thekal or Arlokk is far more complex than the fight with Ragnaros or even 1 of the easier bosses.

                                MC is supposed to be harder because the group is bigger. It is way more complicated to get 40 people to do the right thing than it is with 20.

                                I'd say a raid group that has done ZG will be very quick in killing ragnaros and wont need many tries.

                                just my 2 Cents

                                    It depends on how well you know the instance and what kind of gear you have. The Axemen (EU - Ravencrest) have a video up about clearing Molten Core in about 70 minutes. A group entirely new to the instance will take an hour to Lucifron, get him down within a few tries and wipe on Magmadar for the rest of the evening. What appears to be standard for groups new to the instance is that they down one more boss each time they give it a try with only the last two taking longer as everyone needs to gear up on the drops from the first bosses before it's reasonable to try them with any chance for success.

                                  For those that have never been to MC and need experience go to ZG first. Clear out ZG from Snake Priest to Hakkar, as well as Bloodlord and Jindo then you can go to MC and see that it's not that tough. In fact the whole MC experience is nothing more then numbers. The number of raiding members is all the matters outside of keeping the raiding group balanced with up to 5 or 6 of each class, depending on faction.

                                  Do this and you can go from Luci to Rag in no time at all.

                                  I would hardly say MC is dead. Theres quite a lot of people out there, I imagine, who have never done MC before and will leap at the chance to, at the least, kill Ragnaros once now they are at lvl 70. Not to mention that nothing replaces experience. I imagine that the lvl 70 raid instances will be somewhat harder than MC one way or another, so getting your guild through MC a couple times at least will help improve your overall chances in harder raid instances.

                                  It's not a main target of your average raid guild now though, I'll give you that.

                                    80resto shammy

                                    75balance druid
                                    got through the everything up until Baron Geddon w/o wiping, we got close on him but he spams a -400mana per 3 sec debuff. our shammy ran out of mana (not cause that was alot because it happened so many times) and we wiped twice and gave up cause it was too late to keep playing, but i think its 4-man-able if we wouldve had more time.
                                    if the 2 lvl 75s wouldve been 80's there wouldve been no problem.
                                    pally and druid are good for some intense AOE, which is necessary sometimes, and offhealing the tank.
                                    It just gets too complicated for 4 people to take ?? bosses with 800k health meant for raids.

                                    As of 3.08 you no longer need quentessance (sp?) to douse flames, BUT you DO still need to kill all the bosses to get Majordomo to spawn, beat him, then kill Ragnaros to get achievement.  No easy skipping of bosses.  You still pretty much need to do attunement quest.

                                    Easily doable with a decent tank and healer, hardly any bosses/attacks that hit anyone besides tank for much damage, 8 manned it with some mediocre players and DK tank.  No wipes, took about 2 and a half hours because we had to run back through entire instance to kill the first two bosses we skipped out of ignorance >_<  So, trying to save other people that problem.

                                    me and some friends 4 manned this(80 rogue,pally,druid and preist) just for fun and the achivment. kinda a 3 man because i kept going afk to take care of my kids. you dont need to be attuned to get into MC but its alot easyer if you are..if you are you can take a port from the elf guy on ur way into BRD other wise you gotta swim through the lava. my first time in MC and the enchant for +healing to wep droped, sure enough no one in our little grp was an enchanter, in fact me and the druid were pissed because we had been trying in BC to get a group going to try for the old world enchants because people pay mass amounts for them because very few people on our server have them (seen people offering up to 200g+mats for one of the old ones) and we had jsut droped our encahnting for prof that were more profitable.  but it was fun, even as 80s you kinda gotta focus or you can wipe.  cant wait to go back! :)

                                    wow, this was the funnest thing i've done in a while. we had about like 19 or 20 peopl mostly 70+ but there was a few around 60 * i was 64* and all we did was have a warlock go through to the actual MC and then port us all in, we didnt need those little water trinkets. for anyone frustrated about it, the boss before ragnaros the one that comes out of the circle of lava, when you fight him kill him minions first. then attack him and he gets heals. but, once you get him to like 650k or something, cant remember the exact hp or anything but once you get him down about 50k or you kill all his minions and fight him a while he'll stop and turn friendly. then go to ragnaros's lair and when your done rebuffing and what not talk to the guy go through his speech and then he will summon the almighty ragnaros. good luck getting the eye!

                                    Short Guide for the 2nd or 3rd boss (the naga with four healers, I forgot his name):

                                    My Group:

                                    80 Ret Palli
                                    80 Elemental/Resto Shaman (I think)
                                    64 DK (me)

                                    Strategy:

                                    He is a difficult boss with a bit over 400,000 health. Not only that but he has four healers that heal together at the same time and can easily bring him back to full. What we did was actually have our 80 ret pull all of them. We focused on the healers first. They have a bunch of health and mana. I stood back putting on diseases, applying Death Strike for when I got low on health, and covered my important job. My job was to use Mind Freeze (Interrupts all spells, had 10 sec CD, costs 20 Runic Power) every time they casted Dark Mend. This kept down the heals while they slowly ran out of mana. Once all the priests were out of mana, it was just a easy beat down from there. After you downed all four priests, finish off the boss. He does little damage with mediocre health compared to the other bosses. Good Luck!

                                    Note: We wiped twice to finally figure out the strategy. I had to leave soon after that boss not knowing how late it was, and I had to go. Idk what happened next.

                                    Took us about2 hours because we wiped 2x (we all forgot about the mana debuff, and the curses the corehounds give)

                                    Protip

                                    If you are doing a small group without someone who can dispell magic and you get one of the corehound debuffs, have the person who gets the debuff unequip and die, then just rez them

                                    A decent geared DK can also probably solo this using its self heal abilities like death strike, rune tap and death pact or what ever its called.
