How To Reach 226 Fire Resistance for Molten Core Heat Level 3 - Season of Discovery

wowhead.com:

The addition of Heat levels to Molten Core in Season of Discovery came with the need for Fire Resistance gear. Players only aiming to clear Heat 1 won't need to worry about Fire Resistance, but at both Heat 2 and 3, you will struggle to survive without a decent chunk. On Heat 3 especially, players have found themselves being one-shot by almost every type of Fire damage that touches them.

On Heat 2, players are recommended to reach 96 Fire Resistance. On Heat 3, that number more than doubles going up to 226.

Reaching 96 Fire Resistance

This number is low enough for players to passively reach once they get a few pieces of Tier 1 and some other random bits and bobs. You can even get 60 Fire Resistance purely from the enchants Hydraxian Coronation and Lesser Arcanum of Resilience. This can be further supplemented with a Paladin or Shaman, with both Fire Resistance Aura and Fire Resistance Totem giving 60 Fire Resistance.

How to Obtain Fire Resistance Enchants

These buffs and enchants can be supplemented with easy-to-obtain gear like the Chipped Drakefire Amulet, part of the Onyxia Attunement questline. Every class also has its variant of the Dire Maul trinket, Royal Seal of Eldre'Thalas. These all give 10 Fire Resistance along with a class-specific stat. A full list of the Dire Maul class trinkets can be found here.

Reaching 226 Fire Resistance

Reaching higher Fire Resistance will require you to sacrifice more other stats. This means that you might not be able to wear a perfectly optimized gear set for damage, but a dead player does zero DPS.

Right off the bat, we can assume players will have 60 Resistance from Fire Resistance Aura or Fire Resistance Totem. Add in both Hydraxian Coronation and Lesser Arcanum of Resilience and you're up to 120 already. This leaves us with 106 Fire Resistance left to find.

Tier 1 sets in Season of Discovery, such as Giantstalker Pursuit, Unstoppable Might, or Dawn Prophecy all have
