Sulfuron Harbinger, Healer Guide
Posted 1 year, 3 months ago for patch 1.13 by Preston.
This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Sulfuron Harbinger in Molten Core. While it's tailored for healers, other roles may also find the information useful. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can leave a comment below or tweet @PrestonDvorak.
This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences with the encounter, logs information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

- Be sure the tanks holding Flamewaker Priests have healers in range of them.
- The encounter begins rather healing intensive and becomes easier as Flamewaker Priests are killed.
