I only managed to record this on 10 man as the fight was easier than anticipated and I did not manage to get the full recording of 25. None the less, the fight is very straightforward.
From a tank’s perspective it seems to be a straight tank and spank for the Main tank- the only time when this may change is if one of the melee gets the Legion Flame debuff which drops fire on the ground. Readjustments around this may be needed.
During the fight there will be 2 types of adds spawned around the room – Mistresses of Pain and 3 Infernals. The offtank needs to do their best to hang onto these as they can melee cloth for over 30k if they are not tanked. They will occasionally run and charge people but will return to the off tank. Mistresses spawn from portals – Infernals spawn from volcanos. The Infernal spawn point at the Volcano base CAN kill any dps who is standing on top of the area they spawn.
NOTE: Warlocks can banish the Infernals. They can not banish the Mistresses. If you are having problems burning the mistress down before the Infernals come out, having a warlock along to banish one of the Infernals can reduce raid damage as the Infernals have a channeled AOE spell they cast at their feet. In this video we had 2 warlocks and we ended up banishing the last few infernals when Jarraxus was almost dead so we could focus DPS on the boss.
Healers – This is a very healing intensive fight. One member of the raid will have a debuff called Incinerate Flesh and they get a red bubbly effect around them. This person must be healed for at least 60k to remove this debuff before 12 seconds have passed. If not – the entire raid gets a ticking debuff that tends to wipe the raid.
Melee DPS -
Fel Inferno should be interrupted. It is a channeled AoE that will tick for 3.5k every second for 6 seconds. This seems to be on a 10 s casting cooldown. Also there will be chained lightning – you must spread out so that this does not chain too far.
Ranged DPS – Spread out. The Fel Lightning that hurts the melee will hurt you too. If you get the Legion Flames, you drop fire where you walk. We found it best to head to the outer edge of the arena if this buff was on a player and head central towards Jarraxus if you had the Incinerate Flesh to ensure the healers could reach you.
**this was a little more difficult in 25 man and started getting a little more chaotic at the end but was still a good strategy**
Work on Mistresses and Infernals when they are out and boss when you have time.
So, simple strategy:
Main tank tanks him, OT picks up adds. Ranged works on adds, melee works on boss. Melee must interrupt his Fel Inferno. Everyone spreads out to avoid the chain lightning effect. Legion Flame means you are dropping fire at your feet and move to the edges of the arena or in an open space away from your other raid members. Incinerate Flesh on a raid member needs to be the primary healing target. Mistresses and Infernals need to be offtanked and they will charge people but the damage is not too terrible.
