The pull
The fight starts automatically after a little chat with the NPC at the entrance and an enigmatic introduction by a certain gnome.
Positions and strategy
Lord Jaraxxus’ main tank needs to be aware of the plenty area of effect adds during this fight – Infernals, Volcanos, Flames and the Nether Portal. Kite the boss away from those, so that melee dps can continue hitting the boss in peace.
Every so often Lord Jaraxxus will buff himself with Nether Power. This buff needs to be dispelled quickly, as it will increases the boss’ magical damage by 200%. A Fel Fireball is a sure kill then! So melee dps and the tank need to stop Lord Jaraxxus from casting his Fel Fireball. As it’s a 2 second cast, there’s plenty of time for an interrupt.
The off-tanks need to watch the Nether Portals and the Mistresses of Pain coming through. They will be off-tanked and then killed off by the ranged dps. Ranged dps will also take care of the Infernals spawning near the volcanos.
Healers need to be aware of the person afflicted by Incinerate Flesh and need to heal him as fast as possible so that the debuff gets removed. If you are slow, the whole raid will take fire damage later.
