Quote:We got a chance to play with Jaraxxus for about an hour and were able to get him to 50% on the 4th pull of the night. He's definitely easier than Beasts, but he still is a DPS check with getting the Portals/Volcanos killed before too many adds stack up. It's definitely a fight where keeping everyone alive is a must to see it through. The hope is that this coming lock we'll repeat Beasts and get LJ down and get a look at FCs.I don't know if that is your regular raid comp or not but if you usually have a warrior tank. We use our warrior tank on the adds so he can sunder the portal/volcano for the extra dps. The portals are the nasty ones. Save 2 minute cooldowns/trinkets for them you shouldn't get more than 1 mistress add if you have done it correctly. Also I've heard paladins can taunt nuke the portals too.
The other thing is getting legion flame on a melee can kill all of them. Make sure they know to be extra aware of it because DBM isn't very good about alerting you beyond a raid warning (which is easily lost in the spam) that you got it.
3rd is the tank should point Jaraxxus to the side of the raid not directly away (as is reflexive) if the raid stands by the door and the tank points him south the portal and volcano *will spawn closer to the raid.
*sometimes it will spawn in a random location if Jaraxxus is casting lightning or some other ability on somebody. I've had people try to argue this as a flaw with the strat but this is a flaw with pointing him in any direction. Most of the time being in a better position is better than always awkward.:)
