Strategy

Joloral Ragetide is a water-based boss with 1.2 million health. You will find him standing in a pool of water along with a Plated Crippler (which increases Joloral's melee damage, and should be focused down first). The tank should kite Joloral out of the pool as he receives a 35% damage buff when standing inside it. In this encounter, we used 1 Tank, 3 Healers and 6 DPS; although your raid composition may vary.

If you have 2 tanks, a common strat is to pull them apart and keep them opposite, killing Joloral first. This keeps Joloral out of range for the buff from the Plated Crippler.

Occasionally Joloral will summon adds; you will see an emote when this occurs. Joloral should be tanked away from these adds, who are generally snared in place, and these can be AoE'd down pretty quickly (as they have low health). If you fail to keep the boss away he will eat these adds for health as well as gaining his melee buff, which will typically mean a wipe.

Throughout the encounter the boss will glare at a random raid member, and that person should move away from the boss to avoid an AoE silence mechanic. The final note is that this boss appears to have a cleave, so staying behind the boss is critical. It is important to note that this will not avoid all damage, so healers should be prepared to be very busy for this encounter.
