ToC 10 - Lord Jaraxxus

Great comedic relief. A level 83 elite Gnome Warlock summons a super-sized demon from some hellish dimension to do his bidding and take on the player raid. The demon resents being summoned, 1 shots the foolish Gnome, and turns to give the players some trouble.

Lord Jaraxxus is a pushover. MT will tank him. Offtank picks up Demons he summons and Infernals when they appear. DPS them down, and resume dps on the boss. Collect phat lewts.

If there's any rule, you can learn from years of raiding in Warcraft its.... "Don't stand in the dammed fire!!" Seriously. If you're on fire, dont' stand next to me. Don't stand next to the MT, Melee, or the Healers. Just burn quietly off to the side and resume dps when you get healed. Fire burns you. Fire burns those around you. This kind of unholy green fire leaves piles of flames on the ground. Jaraxxus casts Infernal fire randomly. Run away and leave the piles away from the Raid.

Jaraxxus will also deal a red flame dot called Consume Flesh. Hurts you and heals him. Don't let your friendly Dwarf hunter die to that thing. I got that stupid dot like 3 times. Jaraxxus also casts a heal? Dunno. Whatever it is, keep a rogue / paladin / whatever to stun with that thing. NEED to.

He aslo summons friends. Nuke the 4 armed demon witch flayer when she appears. If she aggros you, she'll bounce you 40 feet into the air and smack you around like a rag-doll. Not big damage, but annoying and the Offtank should be able to pick her up most of the time. We just burn her down fast and resume dps.

Infernal spawn. Another pain. Infernals are annoying in 10 man. In 25 man you'll have a warlock to banish one and dps the others. Finish them and nuke the boss.

I have yet to see the team that can beat the Northrend Beasts and NOT kill Lord Jaraxxus on the first try. He's a vending machine for Epix and Badges. Just don't let adds get out of hand and keep up the interrupts.

The next Trial is the big stopper for the 10 man and 25 man Trial of Champions.
