MC Reloaded - Magamdar Engaged

As I said in our last update, some raid split bugs have been plaguing our efforts in Molten Core. With the new alleged bug fixes and a significant waiting period to let all of our raid timers expire, we took another stab last night. It took us about an hour to get to Lucifron and down him again. We had very few deaths along the way. The Luci fight was fairly smooth until our MT went down just as the second guard was dying. It was a bit of a scramble to regain agro for a new tank, but eventually, it was managed and he died without too much trouble thereafter.

Pauldrons of Might - to Dwurmir

Tome of Tranquilizing Shot - to Duero

Also, along the way we picked up a random epic drop in the form of:

Arcanist Belt - to Falconer

So with Lucifron dead, we worked our way through the packs of core hounds to try our hand at Magmadar. Now just as a preface to this, it was Easter and our numbers and class mixes were hardly what we had hoped we’d have had (or what we will have in the future). That said, about 33 or 34 of us were on-hand to engage and learn what we could about the encounter.

To make a long story short (or really, just a short story made short), we got him to about 40% life our first try. We lost a few people early as we tried to manage some range issues, but it’s rather tough with only two tranquil shots. We may work on him this week more before the instance resets or we may wait another few days for Lucifron to be back up so we can get another tranquil shot to make it significantly easier. Time will tell. Either way, we’re confident we know how to beat him and our next attempt he will fall.

So far as we're aware based upon information posted on the KJ boards, we (Zephyros and our friends in TG) are still the only alliance guilds to have killed Lucifron and the only the second guild to have engaged Magmadar on the server. We still hope to be the first alliance guild to kill Magmadar.
