About the Instance:

The Burning Furnace is the second instance available to players of the Burning Crusade, and can done straight after completing Hellfire Ramparts. Although it is slightly more difficult, the extra items gained through the first instance should make the Burning Furnace quite tractable. However, in terms of time efficiency, the Ramparts offers better loot per unit time. The Burning Furnace takes roughly 1.5 times 2 times as long as the Ramparts, and yet offers only 3 our of 4 bosses. Thus, it should be done mainly for the quest, and for items that you specifically want. That said, most people consider the Furnace a lot fun, and it is certainly much more spectacular visually.

Party Makeup:
Burning Furnace does not demand a stringent party make-up, and any 5 man with a reasonable balance stands a good chance. It is recommended, however, that players bring some form of crowd control for the fight against the Beholder, either in the form of fears or polymorph. The later parts of the instance can also be completely trivialised by the Warlock's Enslave Demon spell. A Secondary healer and tank, such as Druid will void the possibility of wiping if a key member of the party is CCed.

Useful Equipment:
No special equipment is required, though a good supply of bandages is helpful.

Finding Your Way to the Instance:
The Burning Furnace is part of the Hellfire Citadel complex, situated in the centre of Hellfire Peninsula. To get to the entrance, go west from the bridge that leads you into the Ramparts, and enter the citadel from the southwestern passage.

Hellfire Rampart Layout:
The Burning Furnace is a medium sized instance, in which mobs are reasonably spaced out. The dungeons features 3 boss encounters and is extremely linear. The trash mobs are fairly simple till one reaches the end, and no special techniques are involved.

The Blood is Life:

Get this quest after returning the letter dropped by the final boss, Nazzan, in the Hellfire Ramparts. This is a basic collection quest, and provided only 1 or 2 of your party members have the quest, it can be easily done in a single run.

Heart of Rage:

Get this quest after returning the letter dropped by the final boss, Nazzan, in the Hellfire Ramparts. To do this quest basically involves exploring the instance up to the final boss. However, you do not actually need to kill the final boss to complete the quest (though you will want to do so for his loot... ).

To Kill the Maker:

Follow the stairs upwards the wide passageway towards the keeper. During the process, you'll fight groups of 2-3 Fel Orcs, casters included. Pull them sufficiently back to avoid fear effects, and either CC or kill the casters first. Nothing here trickier than Scholomance.

The Maker resides in the way of the first gateway. During the fight, he has 3 attacks:

Acid Spray:  Sprays a cone of acid in front of him.
Knock Back: Hurls a target backwards by 20 yards and resets threat on the target (so he goes for someone else)
Mind Control: A non-dispellable mind control.

Fortunately, the maker has low hp and a weak physical attack, and should not trouble any decent party. Make sure to tank him with your back to the wall, so that he be instantly taunted after his knock back attack. Having a mage or a warlock to fear of polymorph the mind controlled target will also make the fight a lot easier. Finally, make sure the Tank is on the opposite side of the Maker, so that the part does not need to deal with acid breath.

Broggok the Beholder

A few more trivial pulls and Brogg will be in sight, behind a second bone gateway. A Level is nearby, but do NOT activate it till you're ready for the encounter... possibly the hardest in the instance. There are four slave pens, two of each side of the chamber. Once the level is released, each of these pens will open, and its inhabitants will charge at you. Once all four groups are defeated, Brogg himself will attack. There is barely any time in between each encounter, and you will not have time to eat or drink. Thus, make sure everyone has bandages, evocation is charged, and a few potions won't hurt.

The Four groups are off increasing difficulty, featuring an increasing number of elites. You'll be able to get the Tank to tank the single and duo elite mobs in the first encounters and AOE the rest. The last two groups are more difficult. The elites will randomly charge at cloth casters, while throwing off all previous aggro, thus tanking 3 or more becomes quite impossible. This is where AOE fears, and CCs come in handy. Warlocks, Warriors and and Priests should attempt to keep most mobs chain feared, allowing for easy kills. Bandage when you have time, and attempt to conserver some mana.

Broggok himself is not a hard boss, and provided all 5 party members are alive, and your healer still has 30% mana, it should not be a hard fight. He's special attacks involve:

Poison Nova:  Releases a slow moving circle of cloud... just move away. .tic
Poison Bolt:AA ~2000 Damage Poison bolt with a nasty DOT. Dispel it.

Make sure to dispel poison on the bolts, and hammer away at him... you'll be fine.

To Kill Kel'dan

The trash mobs past Kel'dan gets a little tougher, featuring Shadowmoon Warlocks with accompanying Felguards. The Warlocks deal nasty damage with their shadowbolts, while the Felguards have a charge attack that resets their aggro. These encounters can be trivialised by Enslaving a Felguard, and using it to tank the Warlocks. Otherwise CC the Warlock if possible, or tank the Felguard will the rest of the party takes down the Warlock. The toughest encounter, featuring 2 Felguards and 2 Warlocks, will need some juggling. CC a Warlock, pull them back. Have all party members stand next to the felguards so that they cannot charge and deaggro. The casters and hunters will then need to deal with the second Warlock quickly.

Kel'dan himself rests upon the final anti-chamber. Begin the encounter by attacking the acolytes, all five will charge are you, but they have low HP and can be AOEd quickly. Before they die, you may get a debuff on you that increases shadow damage taken by 1000. Killing Kel'dan with the debuff is still not problem, but to be safe, you may wish to keep one acolyte polymorphed till the effect wears out.

Kel'dan himself is a pushover compared to Broggak. He has two main abilities:

Flame Nova:  Kel'dan will stand still, charge for about 3s and release a 4000 damage fire nova. Fortunately, he yells for everyone to come closer and its extremely easy to dodge.
Cone of Shadow: Shots a cone of shadow bolts in front of him, just have the tank on the opposite side of Kel'dan.

Provided you avoid most of the fire novas, and tank in the corect direction, Kel'dan will go down quickly. Head out via the southern passageway for a short cut to the exit, and you're down!
