Caribald: [Lord Jaraxxus] seemingly casts Incinerate Flesh (“Flesh from bone!”) randomly. I got it very few times on my first try and on the kill, but the tries I had between those, he cast it more often. The timer on DBM isn’t reliable (or maybe it is, but only shows cooldown – not when he’s gonna cast it).
I tried to make sure I had an instant Aimed Shot for when Nether Portal (“Come forth sister, your master calls!”) is cast, same deal with Volcanos (“Inferno!”), but not as important. If Incinerate Flesh is up, you only do half damage, and two Mistresses of Pain means wipe. If a Mistress manages to cast Spinning Pain Spike before it dies, it’s VERY IMPORTANT to Intervene it, so look at the Nether Portal timer and make sure Intervene is not on cooldown for it.
Cooldowns should basically be saved for portals, the Berserk timer is not even close to being an issue, so it’s about controlling your abilities to max damage once portals/volcanos pop up, and then avoid damage from what comes at you. Intervene is good to absorb the dot that comes after an Incinerate Flesh, but as I said earlier, NOT if Nether Portal is about to spawn, as the Intervene is needed in case dps is too low on the Mistress.
