Molten Core in Phase 5 - Please make the following changes!

Fellow gamers, please comment and bump this for visibility. Blizz, please consider this starting in Phase 5 with BWL, as it would be a huge quality of life improvement.

Molten Core Raid:

  • Reduce the fire resistance requirement for Heat 2 down to 0 (same as Heat 1). This will allow more pick-up-groups to have the opportunity to get more gear (and in most cases more catch up gear towards BWL).
  • Reduce the fire resistance requirement for Heat 3 to 96 unbuffed (same as current Heat 2). Most BWL/ZG gear sets will have 24 or more less FR than current Tier 1 sets. Requiring people to carry/craft more FR to run MC in their regular raid rotation than they did previously seems like a bad move. Also this will allow more groups who had previously not attempted H3, the ability to now do so.
  • Lastly, not every guild is going to be running Molten Core in P5+ and reducing the FR requirements will allow for easier raid formation with random players/alt characters.

Now onto the biggest/best improvement quality of life wise


Reduce the amount of doused runes to 3 to summon Ragnaros. Also, subsequently, if you kill Rag on H3 - it will give you the option to summon the Molten Core, as long as 3 runes are doused.

This will make for quicker runs for guilds who have had less luck with Rag loot/legendary drops (such as my guild who has had ZERO eyes and ZERO bindings despite running H2/H3 weekly since start of P4).

Maybe consider buffing legendary drop rates or having a “bad luck system” where after X amount of weeks an item drops.

Thanks in advance, I hope you enjoy the ideas.

They’ve made a few pieces of FR have more FR so you can squeeze more DPS gear in.

No. Go back to retail.

It’s absolutely mindboggling that even with content this easy, people like OP are still crying for it to be nerfed.

Not a retail andy. We have 3 new raids as of Thursday. Making old content easier to access is always the Blizzard way, but making sure they hear player feedback is important.

It’s already pitifully easy to access. Heat 1 requires 0 FR. Even getting 96 FR is absurdly easy, I literally just hit 60 on an alt and only needed to buy a couple cheap pieces off the AH, bam, 96 FR.

Stop being lazy. Stop crying for nerfs to easy content because you’re too lazy to put in the bare minimum amount of effort. Go back to retail.

You don’t know me, you don’t know that I raid on multiple characters weekly at the highest difficulty and have since Classic.
No one except you is crying about anything. Seems like youre upset with yourself and your progress.

You only need the Devilcore pants/gloves(only 2 pieces of gear) and head/leg enchants to get 96 FR

So, no.

The beauty of classic is that tiers stay relevant throughout the games lifespan.

MC is fine and doesn’t need any changes.

Nerfing them to a further extent only serves to devalue items in the economy, devalue progress people made in phase 4, and promotes toxic alt gameplay.

What they really need to do is bring back 40 man cap for MC, especially since they’re now making it ‘not a bug, but a feature!’ going forward with every single other raid.

That would be nice actually. If people want to zerg it for less loot per raider, let them.

Yeah I really like the way they’re doing classic flex raiding. It should be the same for every raid in the game tbh.

This is the only change that MC needs.

Heat 2 requirements are a joke (it’s 36 fire resistance, which is literally just the Ony cloak + enchant that you’re going to need for BWL, and then a totem/aura).

Heat 3 should take some effort.
