Abilities & Strategy

What the in-game dungeon journal describes for this encounter. Every ability links to its spell page.

Abilities & Strategy

Flame Breath

Jan'alai chooses a random player, then turns and casts Flame Breath in their direction. The Flame Breath inflicts Fire damage to all enemies in a frontal 60 degree cone from Jan'alai. The Flame Breath also leaves a line of fire that inflicts Fire damage every 1 sec. to enemies within 4 yards of the path of flame.

Fire Bomb

Jan'alai teleports to the middle of the platform and creates Fire Bombs around the platform. After five seconds Jan'alai detonates the Fire Bombs, inflicting Fire damage to players of a Fire Bomb.

Frenzy

At 20% remaining health, Jan'alai enters a Frenzy. This increases his Physical damage dealt by 50% and attack speed by 50%.

Dragonhawk Eggs

Flanking Jan'alai's platform are 36 Dragonhawk Eggs. They can be hatched by Amani'shi Hatchers or by Jan'alai's Hatch All Eggs ability.

Amani'shi Hatcher

Jan'ali periodically summons two Amani'shi Hatchers. They run to opposite sides of the platform and begin to hatch three Amani Dragonspawn Hatchlings every 1.5 seconds.

Amani Dragonhawk Hatchling

These creatures have low health.

Flame Buffet

The Amani Dragonhawk Hatchling casts a Flame Buffet at its current target, inflicting Fire damage and increasing Fire damage taken by 3% for 10 sec. This effect stacks, but dispelling Flame Buffet once removes the entire stack.

Hatch All Eggs

At 35% remaining health, Jan'alai hatches all remaining Dragonhawk Eggs. The newly hatched Amani Dragonhawk Hatchlings then join the fight.

Heroic Difficulty Only

Zul'Aman is only available in Heroic Difficulty.
