Okay so I pug my raids. Do the fights on Normal so I get a hang of it, and then switch to heroic.
Every fight I do so far on Heroic is fine except for Blast Furnace (and Blackhand, but that's another story). I usually 1 shot it on Normal with my pug groups. Really not that difficult for Normal from what I experience. But reading posts and seeing peoples kill counts it seems Heroic Blast Furnace is just a huge difference in dificulty. Haven't even got to try it yet on Heroic as for I keep getting denied (my Ilvl is 670. I always see 675+ Requirements in the Premade)
What I want to know is, what makes this fight harder than its Normal difficulty? I know all Normal / Heroic fights are the same, it just hits harder and more health, but is this really the same for Blast Furnace?
