How do you deal with the mobs at the end of tunnel at the Molten Furnace fractal?
I rarely had trouble with this really (rarely encounter), but there was one time where it was kinda bad (several wipes).

What we did was: Wait behind the 3rd/4th circle, pop stability/swiftness, run as a group, turn left and hide behind the rock. When the mobs appeared, we pop another stability, and everything we have: hammer guard auto for prot, knockdowns/stuns, timewarp, reflects, purging flames, warrior warhorn for weakness).

But then we still die from invisible mobs (they go invis) then the mobs pop up and some of us go down, and sometimes we don’t get a kill and we don’t rally.

Is there anything that we’re missing (a strat that will be better, a key dodge timing to avoid some burst, a way to prevent mobs from stealthing)? Or is it all just poor execution/party composition (1 or 2 people arriving late, getting stuck somewhere [I don’t understand how it happened either] )?

(Before I used to run with a thief and he dropped blind, I think those runs went ok)
I play Fractals with a mixed group of friends, some are running meta builds, some running outdated/defensive builds (thankfully not cleric), but we have enough alts to cover most areas so please feel free to suggest anything.

I’ve been busy with other things so I haven’t learned by pugging yet, so I decided to ask here. Thanks!

Usually we just go to the right side past them, there’s a spot where they should lose aggro and if you’re lucky the NPC won’t attack them and go straight to the next section and you won’t have to kill them. Else you can los them behind a rock.

Also http://gw2dungeons.net provides a lot of useful information about every fractal / dungeon paths

Mostly we LOS on the rocks just as you come out on the right side (not the ones mentioned above, but literally outside the tunnel). Blind spam actually helps a lot because of the charr (can’t blind dredge though). Standard dps aoe stuff after that.
