Soloing Molten Core

One of my readers, Yagamoth, wrote me the other day, asking if I had any tips for soloing old content such as Molten Core or even Karazan. And I’ll be blunt, I hadn’t really tried to solo anything as a moonkin.

So rather than to shy away, I took it as a challenge and set out to solo Molten Core. And well, the place is cleared now, although not with a bit of trouble. Some bosses were easy, some were hard, some nearly made me give up. And I’ll admit, there was a single boss that I needed some help with.

But I went into Molten Core with my usual PvE gear and spec, armed with a bunch of reagents and 4 stacks of water. I figured I would write down a guide for soloing the bosses as moonkin, and maybe we can tweak it a bit.

Glyphs ‘R Us

I often get questions regarding which glyphs to pick for your all-round moonkin spec, and while some of them are pretty obvious, there are a few that always cause much debate.

So lets take a look at the current moonkin glyphs, and talk about which benefit us the most, and when to pick one over the other. This is, ofcourse, purely from a PvE perspective. Things are a whole lot different when it comes to battlegrounds or arena, and I will not cover them from fear of giving out some seriously bad advice.

There are 11 glyphs that we could possibly ever consider to use. These are Glyph of Barkskin, Entangling Roots, Focus, Hurricane, Innervate, Insect Swarm, Monsoon, Moonfire, Starfall, Starfire and Wrath. The list is actually quite long, but most of them have no real place in a PvE setting.

Lets look at them in order of usefulness.
