Here's a little thing I found on those lava packs that were so much fun last night.
Background:
As you get deeper into the zone, the earlier trash starts to give out to these packs of mobs. They will be the most challenging trash encounter in the zone. They can consist of four different mob types. The packs come in two different flavors. One consists of two Lava Elementals, one Flameguard, and one Firewalker. The other group consists of a Lava Reaver, Flameguard, and a Firewalker.
Attacks:
Each mobs has various attacks. The combination of all these attacks can be quite devastating to an unprepared raid group.
Lava Reaver- Simplest of the mobs. He is a stone elemental with a vicious melee attack and a cleave. This mob is banishable.
Lava Elemental- Another stone elemental. He has a frontal blast which stuns multiple targets and puts a vicious dot on those affected. This mob is banishable.
Flameguard- Small AE damage attack that continuously goes off. Debuffs AC by a large amount. Has an inferno like ability which does large fire damage.
Firewalker- This mob is the dangerous one and appears in each type of pack. He has an AE that debuffs fire resist and likes to chain 3000 damage fireballs at single targets. He can unleash over three of these in a matter of seconds. Kill this first.
Strategy:
These mobs start showing up after Garr and are the acculy harder then the most bosses in Molten Core. It's a great advantage if you fight these mobs at big places. We usually have a hunter pull some packs into Garrs place where 2 warlocks is ready to banish the Stone elements and warriors is ready to tank the fire elements. We always kill the Firewalker first since its the deadliest one.
Spawntime:
120 minutes.
