This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Magmadar 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

• Avoid the impact locations of Lava Bomb.
• Dispel Frenzy (enrage) to remove the increased attack speed effect.
  • If no dispel is available, the tank should use a defensive cooldown to survive the 8-seconds.
• Melee will gain stacks of Magma Spit through out the fight, dealing light to moderate damage over time.
• Stay at least 40-yards away to avoid Panic.
  • Be sure the tanks and melee still have healers in range of them.

Season of Mastery Differences

• Every ~60-seconds two Core Hounds spawn.
  • Core Hound
    • Must be killed at the same time or any Core Hounds whose body hasn't despawned will be healed to full health.

Resistance Levels

• Tanks: ~100-200 Fire Resistance
• Melee: ~100-200 Fire Resistance
• 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.

• Keep the tanks near full health so they survive Frenzy before it's dispelled.
• Keep healing over time effects on melee when you can to help keep their health stable.

Debuffs to Track

• Minor: Lava Bomb, Magma Spit (Optional)
• Enrages to Dispel: Frenzy
