Our progress in Molten Core lately has been very impressive, and we have gotten a lot of questions about adding a second day in order to push deeper. I believe that with our friday night run picking up speed each week, we could clear through Shazzrah (right after Baron Geddon) in a night. However anything beyond that really requires a second day.
The issue with that was attendance. Friday night has always been our best time for fielding the most people. We have tried varying times on both saturday and sunday, but lets face it, we all have lives outside the game that have us busy at least one of those two days. Weekdays are often equally troublesome because of time limitations for many of us.
However, I think we have stumbled upon an answer.
Starting Wednesday, June 14th, we will be attempting to kill Lucifron and Magmadar on wednesdays at 5:30 PM server time.
The merits to this plan:
- This will allow us to keep our night of greatest attendance where it needs to be, on the deeper content.
- It will save us roughly 2 hours on fridays, allowing an eventual push through Golemagg, thus completing the first 8 bosses and allowing all tier 1 drops.
- We do not need a full 40 to kill Lucifron and Magmadar. We do need a good class balance, but we have killed them with 27, and I believe we can assemble ~30 people on a wednesday.
- We will have no core hounds to deal with on friday nights. This removes a couple risky pulls and a large number of pathers, thus speeding things up even more.
- It will be short. This may be the biggest bonus for some of us for a weeknight raid. We should be able to clear them in 2 hours or less, depending on how many people show up.
- And last but not least, no more binding in Kargath and then forgetting to re-set your hearthstone after. :wink:
I hope to see as many as many of you as can be there.
