Molten Core - SoG Speed Record Attempt

[TeaLeaf]

As mentioned after last night's leisurely clearance of Molten Core (2hrs 36 mins and we weren't even rushing), we want to do a speed clearance attempt to see just how fast we can clear Molten Core.  We're not aiming for Axemen speed, just to have a bit of fun and spice up what is otherwise a fairly mundane night for RG1  

Our official aim would be to clear MC in less than 2 hours (whether this is possible, or just how much less than 2 hours is still to be seen).

The date for this record attempt is still to be decided, but I thought it would be helpful to start the preparations by asking everyone to list the potions, elixirs, flasks, foods and drinks they would like to have available for the attempt.  

Here's a starter, please add to it anything you would like to see available for the run and preferrably the class you expect to use or need it:


Flask of Distilled Wisdom for healers for an extra 2,000 mana

Flask of Supreme Power for DPS casters

Magic Resistance potions for extra resistance during some boss fights

Mongoose Potions for melee

Elixir of Shadow power for Locks
Greater Arcane Elixir for Mages

Greater Arcane Protection potion for tank/melee for Shazzrah
Greater Fire Protection potion 1 or 2 per person

Major Healing Potions
Major Mana Potions
Heavy Runecloth Bandages

Major Troll's Blood potion
Mageblood potion

Brilliant Wizard Oil
Brilliant Mana Oil

Flask of Titans? for the main tanks (these are very expensive, but might be nice to give us a buffer for mistakes?)


Suggestions Edited In From Below:

Winterspring Firewater for Physical attack users
Blasted lands 1hour potions
Elixir of Giants
Great Rage Potions
The plants you can harvest in feralas (can not think of the name except nightdragons breath)
Songflower Serenade  - increases melee ranged or spell critical by 5% and all other attributes by 15 for one hour
greater dreamless sleep potions - regain mana and health faster
There is also a quest in winterspring like the quests in lasted lands( kill things collect drops hand in for a buff).
Onyxia and/or Zandalaar buff.

Tactics suggestions:
AOE Sulfuron adds

Just what i thought of fast is

Winterspring Firewater for Physical attack users
Blasted lands 1hour potions

also using greater arcane pots on melee they can help some on shazzrah with quick run ins, just don't have to many at a time and some healers watching them. Same with Baron if melee time there runs well you can put a specific Melee bomb spot and they run in between AoEs

edit: Also quickest way to kill sulfuron is to AoE the adds, should test this before trying the speed run

Elixir of Giants
Great Rage Potions

The plants you can harvest in feralas (can not think of the name except nightdragons breath) For the dps casters find a songflower has a nice buff for 1 or 2 hours.
To regain mana and health faster you could use greater dreamless sleep potions.
There is also a quest in winterspring like the quests in lasted lands( kill things collect drops hand in for a buff). And ofc onyxia and zandalaar buff.
Thats all i can think off atm.

i can make Flask of Supreme Power for DPS casters if needed

also working on a stack of Mongoose pots already to hand out during raid and saving up mats for major mana pots and mageblood potion

only spend this morning in EPL but i have 15 mongoose ready and i would say mats for 5 mana pots

if we all grind a few hours for this raid im pretty sure we can all have all the pots we need

and if needed for fire protection pots i can always transemute elemental fire to heart of fire of course

[Snowstormer]

You could also add elixir of firepower/frostpower for mages. +15 per school, not much.

You can also get the buff from blackfathom deeps and take an alt to kill ony and get buff

[TeaLeaf]

Aye, we would need to prepare for this and have all handed out before the raid started to avoid delays.  Prep work and some grinding for mats will be vital.

TL.

[Soulbringerx]

Ill save the head of ony for the run if needed

[TeaLeaf]

Btw, I ought to point out that invites for this raid might be a little different than normal as the Officers are likely to pick specific people for the best overall raid performance and will probably not rely on a whisper invite system.

As I'm no herbalist and can't farm for any flowers used in potions, I would be glad for hints on other stuff (what and where) that I can farm which is also needed

[Neff]

Elixir of Shadow power for Locks
Greater Arcane Elixir for Mages

Theese pots stack, and for a warlock it works both ways afaik.
ooh ,a speedrun i'd maybe attend for that , if i were a guardian that is

[Marduk]

also got me elixer of giants now, will try to make a bunch of those to
we'll get this record even if it costs us a 1000 pots

[FATAL]

i can make +40 fire damage pots aswell x1 fire oil x3 firebloom i think

go hellfire/rain of fire   :devil:

[Dajo]

The Felwood plants are called and doing the following:

Night Dragons Breath: > Use: Restores 394 to 456 mana and 394 to 456 health.

Whipper Root Tuber: > Use: Restores 700 to 900 health.

Both plants are working on a different timer then all other potions and stuff. You can use a Mana Pot, Night Dragons Breath, Wipper Root Tuber, and a Healthstone al directly after each other.

Another Tactical change that can speed a run up but highly risky for an unfocused raid.

Baron Geddon

Tank him in front of the tunnel opening while the raid force all stands in the opening(not going back into Garr's room)

With the bomb you run into the tunnel and blow up there(no fall damage there).

Problem with this tactic is that if one person doesn't run with the bomb he bombs the whole raid instead just his group.

Now the room baron patrols is just as big as Garr's room and with clearing 1 more pack you can put up the same circle as in Garr's room and kill Shazzrah in that room. This removes the whole need of running back to Garr's room.
