Lord Jaraxxus Boss Fight Strategy Guide: Step by Step

1. You’ll probably need about five healers to beat Lord Jaraxxus.  The primary focus for healers (other than obviously keeping tanks alive) in the Lord Jaraxxus fight MUST be on dispelling Incinerate Flesh.  It’s a good idea to assign one healer specifically to dispel Incinerate Flesh.  The life of your raid depends on not letting Incinerate Flesh become Burning Inferno, which can easily cause a complete party wipe in just seconds.
2. You’ll probably need two tanks in this fight.  Elect a primary and a secondary tank.  Your primary tank will focus on Jaraxxus, and your secondary will take on the Mistresses of Pain and Felflame Infernals.
3. Take down the Mistresses of Pain and Felflame Infernals as quickly as possible, but don’t pull too many DPS from Jaraxxus.  Decide ahead of time which DPS will switch and target these extras when Jaraxxus calls them out.
4. Spread all raid members at least 10 yards apart.  This will help keep the damage from Fel Lightning down to a minimum.
5. Assign one or two DPS to interrupt Fel Fireball each time Jaraxxus casts it.
6. When Jaraxxus lights the floor on fire with Legion Flames, DPS should NOT stand in the fire unless they want to die.  Healers will need to heal the Tanks through the fire damage, so be ready for when he casts this spell.
7. It’s handy to have a mage or two along, and make sure they know to steal Jaraxxus’ Nether Power buff.
8. Make sure your paladins don’t all have the same aura up.  It’s helpful to have one with Shadow Resistance Aura, another with Fire Resistance Aura, and at least one more with Devotion or Retribution Aura.
