Beat Moloch first time last night, a tough one indeed

Fought him last night with a revolving party as certain people kept dying and getting a bit frustrated, prolonging the fight for well over an hour. Had a buddy with me, and without the help of a few other experienced people, Engineer and a Summoner, we probably would have never killed him. This was our first run at him. The others that joined did him a few times already, so that ended up making it a bit easier on us. As an Engi, my drone did help a bunch, but the fire Moloch throws destroyed it in one shot, so I had to closely monitor the thing and keep re-spawning. I used ignite weapons on him which seemed to do the best, Haste bots, and Inhibotor, as my Rocket bots were all but worthless.

So all in all, once we got the right mixture of people, we had a Summoner, 2 Engi's, a Blademaster, and a MM. The Summoner was hands down the most important part of the taking him down, I guess it's almost a necessity to have. Does anyone know what the best path is for an engineer to better take Moloch down? I'm curious.

Question though, how was your drops for Moloch when you finally finished him off? Do the drops correspond to how much damage you do to him or is it all just random for everyone in the party? I got a few decent items, but the drops were all level 50 minimum, guessing because of the two level 50's that joined in. Either way it was intense and very satisfying after finishing the bastard off.
