Shazzrah, Healer Guide
Updated 1 year, 2 months ago for patch 1.13.6 and Season of Mastery by Preston. View the change log.
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.
Season of Mastery Differences

- Melee should have as much Arcane Resistance as possible without sacrificing their other stats.

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