This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Shazzrah in Molten Core. While it's tailored for healers, other roles may also find the information useful. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can leave a comment below or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences with the encounter, logs information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

General Mechanics and Abilities

• Periodically Blinks to a player's location, resetting threat.
• Stay at least 30-yards away to avoid damage from Arcane Explosion.
• Counterspell is cast every 15-seconds, avoid casting around that time to avoid the interrupt.
• Purge Deaden Magic to remove the reduced magic damage taken effect.
• Dispel Shazzrah's Curse (curse) to remove the increased magic damage taken effect.

Resistance Levels

• Tanks should have as much Arcane Resistance as possible without sacrificing their other stats.
• Melee should have as much Arcane Resistance as possible without sacrificing their other stats.
• Ranged/Healers generally won't make use of any additional Resistances on this encounter.

Healing Notes

The notes below mostly pertain to progression difficulty, meaning if you out-gear the difficulty you're on or use extra healers they may not apply.

• Tanks and melee should have priority dispel on Shazzrah's Curse (curse).
• Be prepared to reposition as necessary after Blink.

Debuffs to Track

• Major: Shazzrah's Curse (dispel, curse)
• Buffs to Purge: Deaden Magic
