Several nights ago, four of my guildmates and I decided to venture into Molten Core for some Hydroxian Waterlord reputation.  After blasting through MC, we decided to try our luck at Blackwing Lair.  Back in vanilla WoW, 5-manning those 40-man raids seemed like a dream, but now, it’s a cake walk.  In fact, much of MC, and certain BWL bosses are soloable.

Molten Core was refreshing, believe it or not, because the pace was so fast.  Remember back in the day when it took 2 to 4 hours to clear the place?  Loot the dog!  Fire Resist gear guys!  If you’re the bomb, run out!  We burned these guys down so fast, that nothing factored into the fights.

I believe we came away with 2 or 3 BoE epics, several Cores, and I even got to take an Eye of Sulfuras to the bank.  No bindings dropped from Garr or Geddon.  Got the T2 pants from Ragnaros, but no other Paladin loot dropped.

Blackwing Lair was equally easy.  The first boss requires mind control, and the adds were a j0ke.  The only part that caught us off guard was the damage dealt by the gobling packs.  No deaths, but it certainly took us aback.  Chromaggus did wipe us once, but that’s because we all forgot the mechanics of the fight.  After realizing we needed to cleanse the debuffs, we took Chrom down fast.  Nefarian was a joke.  The adds were dropped with a single hit or two.  Again, no Paladin loot for nostalgic purposes.

If you have a chance to run through these old world dungeons, give them ago.  It’s nice to re-do, or in some cases, experience for the first time, new content.  There is not much challenge to it when bringing along others, just swing hard, hit hard, and DPS.
