Discussion for Having a Blast!:

We had heard rumours that Blast Furnace was pretty hard, and indeed we started off struggling. Our first issue was how to transition into phase two in a way that didn't kill us; in other words without being overrun by adds. We tried several different versions of pretty much the same tactic. For a while we got stuck on the fact that we in theory could transition just before the third Bellows Operators joined the fight, and kept trying to execute that, with rarely a successful outcome. In the end we decided to split groups on either side, and just try to transition before the fourth Bellows Operator. At this point we got to the actual difficulty of the fight, to kill all four Primal Elementalists fast enough. But at this point we had momentum and it wasn't that many pulls until we managed to get through phase two and start working on actually killing the boss. In the end we spent a good amount of wipes on this boss, mostly trying to sort out phase one, but finally the Heart of the Mountain was dead. Blast Furnace down! 9/10 hc finished, one more to go!
