I burn ya now!

Had my first tanking experience against Jan’alai tonight. He’s actually one of my favorite bosses thus far.

I was tanking him obviously as we had a pally tank for the bird adds. He’s actually not that bad to tank. You don’t really have to worry about threat as most people are too busy most of the fight to do much hard dps. So you really just need to survive which for the first few minutes is cake. He doesn’t hit very hard, just his fire breath does:

The thing I like most though is his fun little bombs. He puts them up all around the room and you have to find a safe spot like so:

He does that pretty frequently, but that was the only really tough part for me. The rest of the time It was basic tank and spank. He does hit a little harder when he enrages:

And healing can get tight with so many people needing heals, but still I love his voice and his yells, and the bombs is a nifty little feature for a boss fight. There’s a lot going on and it’s really engaging, as opposed to the snooze-fest bear boss where I just kept demo and thunder clap up and tried not to die for a few seconds once he became a bear.

Tonight’s run was nice though, only got one timed chest because my computer decided it didn’t want to play the second we got to eagle, but we got 3 bosses. Jan’alai took us a lot of tries, thankfully he can be reset. Maybe we can get back in there this weeked and knock out Halazzi and Malacrass. If we don’t no big deal, I’m happy just to see Jan’alai go down for once.
