The flyer NPC's will go down fast so its best to dps them first. Also assign a warlock or druid to pull out a warrior to keep them feared or rooted just incase you need a little extra time to regen some mana.

What my guild does is dps's the Flyers first then the warriors then the major. We assign a druid every other group to hold a warrior rooted in place so we can get our healers mana up to the 75%-80% mark. This is very important to do just before Rajaxx comes so you can go in at near full mana and health. Make sure your druid has a mob that does not have one of the friendly CC guys on it. Also don't wait to long to kill the rooted mob or the next wave will come before you killed him, we usually wand the rooted mob.

If you're Friendly or better with Cenarion Circle, Andorov will give you an aura that restores +200 HP/sec. Often that's enough to keep everyone up, so try to grind to Friendly quickly, and *keep heals on Andorov.* He'll tank Rajaxx for you just fine, as well as healing everyone. Amplify Magic on the raid will up the HP from the aura to 350, which generally outweighs the additional magic damage you'll take.

Comment by osuracnaes

Rajaxx has an area knockback, so it's very helpful for healers to stand with their backs against a wall. Healing Andorov is the most important thing in this fight, and he needs to be healed up after those knockbacks, so anything to minimize the time he's not getting healed is very important.

After all the changes, at current these are the facts.

If you die, you CAN sneak back in right between waves.
If you're friendly+ you get the general's command aura.
He always has 5 mana and health pots.

Other than wave 3, amp magic does wonders with his command aura.

I suggest having one healer who's sole job is to watch the General. Warrior reserve taunts for when the general is at low health (on Rajaxx himself).

This is a rediculous(sry for spelling) boss fight as boss #2 for a 20-man.
Sockbaby's tips for PWNING the ahn'quiraji Military
1.DONT TALK TO THE NPCS UNTIL EVERYONE IS READY---I cannot stress this enough! too many good raids die because of no man
2.ADHERE TO THE HIERACRY OF SMACKDOWNAGE kill flyers, then named mobs, then finally kill warrios
3.KEEP THE NPC'S ALIVE! they do more dps than any of you can, but they have no armor(one of them doesnt even have a shirt)
4.IF YOU ARE FRIENDLY WITH CC, KEEP CLOSE TO THE LEUTENANT(sry 4 spells) he gives u a 10% haste and 200/3 HP buff!
5.KEEP THE NC'S ALIVE!...again....it's important
6.LET THE NPC's TANK RAJAXX. dont worry, they're big boys...just keep em alive and raj will die a painful death!
GL(you''ll need it)
the fight is like this----8 waves of about 8 or so elites, fear bomb them when u can! after 8 waves of grueling, bug-stomping action, RAJ with try to WTFPWN you....he has an AOE thuderstomp with knockback and takes 50% off of you, but it;s no biggie, the leiutenant's arua will keep u up
HAVE FUN!

General Rajaxx is the 2nd boss in the instance, and is mandatory to fight before you can get to any other bosses besides Kurinaxx. The Rajaxx encounter consists of many waves consisting of 1 miniboss, and vary amounts of flying and cleaving elites, and warrior like elites. DPS the miniboss down first, then kill the flying mobs, followed by the warriors. Use hunter traps, roots, and fears to keep the mobs you're not fighting away - these are the only forms of crowd control that work. Also keep the NPCs that are involved in the fight alive, they help a lot. When the general himself comes, let the head NPC tank him, focus heals on him. If you are above neutral with the Cenarion Circle he has an aura that heals you. Since Rajaxx does AoE damage, this is very nice. If you are not above neutral, make ample use of bandages.

Comment by Chandrialla

With a long even like this, it's easy for casters to run out of mana. One way to deal with this is to isolate one of the warriors in a wave and wand him down. This will give the casters a chance for their mana to regen enough for the next wave.

Comment by 9556

Here is a list of several things to know about the General Rajaxx fight which will make killing him vastly easier:

1. There are 8 waves, the 8th being Rajaxx himself, each wave comes with an officer. Once the officer is dead, it is possible for people who have died to zone in.

2. Each officer in the 8 waves has a special ability, the most dangerous being Captain Tuubid (2nd wave) who chooses one person and all mobs go directly to the player to kill; Captain Drenn (3rd wave) aoe lightning attack; Colonel Zerran (7th wave) increases in size vastly increasing his damage and the damage of the other mobs - is purge-able. When Drenn dies place Amplify Magic on the entire raid.

3. To deal with Rajaxx's aoe knockback, have the raid, excluding the warriors, stand in the corner to the left of the large arch from which the mobs emerge. From this position healers and casters won't receive the 40 yard knockback and will always be in range to heal the general and the warriors.

4. Taunt off Lieuntenant General Andorov when his health is anywhere between 60 and 70%, warriors should keep their backs against the wall, once again eliminating the huge knockback.

5. When the waves enter the doorway either aoe fear (warrior, priest, warlock) or have a mage frost nova (bear in mind they have proximity aggro when frozen so they WILL attack whatever is closest to them).

6. Every healer should have a /target Lieutenant General Andorov macro in case the main healer needs assistance.

7. Pull a warrior from each wave toward the narrow area between Kurinnaxx and the doorway to Rajaxx, take that warrior to 15% and regen mana. When the next wave starts to come take it down and get back in place.

8. There are 3 minutes between each wave (with the exception of Rajaxx himself which seems to be until you kill the last mob of the 7th wave). The npcs will call the next wave if they are inactive for too long, so continually pull mobs to them.

9. Have the raid against the rocks facing the doorway, but not on the rocks to avoid evade bugging. Warriors should stand behind the npcs to intercept anything that gets past them. Warlocks can place their imps in the middle of the 'fighting area' so no matter where group members end up they have Blood Pact.

10. Warlocks need to remember fears are leashed, if a mob goes into the area with the other npcs, do not chase him, he can only be feared a certain distance from the warlock. By chasing, the warlock allows the mob to go in further which can aggro the next wave.

11. Designate healing assignments, minimizing overhealing is essential to survival. When Rajaxx comes it is all heals on the Lieutenant General and the other warriors when possible, everyone else must bandage or use potions/tubers.

12. There is a known bug with no wave coming, regen health and mana, get the dead up because 2 waves will come at once. If this happens, the fears are the most important thing to do. Have the officers tanked against the wall (where eventually the raid will stand on Rajaxx) and the other warriors pick up as many Needlers as possible, leaving the warriors. As the needlers die, the warriors can pick up any loose mobs, but grabbing all of them at once will lead to a lot of dead plate

Dawn of the Dead downed him first try on zul'jin server, interesting fight, calls out peoples name then does a stomp and smacks away half HP STAY ABOVE 100 HP and your fine. Got my strength of earth totem rank 5 off him

Comment by Thottbot

The NPC's will respawn in about 15 minutes, not 2 hours as previously posted.

Comment by Thottbot

The first and foremost goal should be to keep the 5 NPC's healed, the fight can get much more difficult in a hurry without them.
Also be warned that you can be feared into the room and aggro the next wave before you are ready.

Keep 1 Warrior alive on each wave till you are ready for next wave, you can talk to the NPC's on last wave to have more control over the course of the fight.

Wave 1: Center - Captain Qeez
Swarmguard Needler x2 - Qiraji Warrior x4

Wave 2: Right side - Captain Drenn
Swarmguard Needler x5 - Qiraji Warrior x1 (last)

Wave 3: Left side - Captain Tuubid (has AE)
Swarmguard Needler x3 - Qiraji Warrior x3

Wave 4: Further left - Captain Xurrem
Swarmguard Needler x3 - Qiraji Warrior x3

Wave 5: Further right - Major Yeggeth
Swarmguard Needler x4 - Qiraji Warrior x2

Wave 6: Deep left side - Major Pakkon
Swarmguard Needler x4 - Qiraji Warrior x2

Wave 7: Deep right side - Colonel Zerran
Swarmguard Needler x3 - Qiraji Warrior x3

Then: General Rajaxx (NPC's must be alive to make this easy, else the challenge is significantly harder)

Comment by Thottbot

1. Dont talk with the NPCs.
2. gather in the open area where you killed the scorpid
3. pull first wave
4. root 2 flyers
5. tank the boss of the wave and nuke it
6. offtank/ crowd control rest
7. nuke flyers
8. nuke melee BUT leave 1 alive
9. keep the one melee rooted by a druid and feared by a warlock
10. regen mana by standing around... (sorry but this is a horde taktik we dont have the paladins to regen mana ;) )

repeat above for all waves, just a little change at the last wave, before you get to the fight with Rajaxx. before killing the last mob talk to the npc and let him kill the last melee mob. Make sure when the last mob is killed your raid is as close as possible to the gate to the room where the waves are standing around or ppl get randomly portet to the boss and die instantly.

now just keep the npcs alive -> aura that heals 200 life/tick -> you only need MT healer and healer for the npc, party is healed by the aura. dont put too much attention on the 4 melee npcs, just keep the boss alive so the healing aura is applied and this is a freaking easy piece of #$%^ and you always go with full mana into next wave.

Comment by Thottbot

This is pretty easy, we killed him 2nd try (we dont have the best gear, about half our tier 1). The trick is to keep the lieutenant and his guards alive until rajaxx. Make a macro to target them and monitor their health. The lieutenant does amazing DPS, but his HP isnt the best, so you should watch out for him the most. Let him tank rajaxx the most you can, then when he finally dies, use your MT. By the time he died for us, Rajaxx had only about 20% health left.
easy as pie.

Comment by Thottbot

The next waves comes if you kill all Warriors, not the others or the captain. So keep one to regen mana. It seems that the third wave is harder than others, cause of the AOE dmg spell of the Captain (I once have been hit to 2000.

Comment by Thottbot

The event is bugged for us. When we killed the last warrior of the 4th wave, the all remaining waves attacked us. We sent a ticket to GMs and they reset the event.

BTW you have to put Detect Magic on the last wave's boss, and dispel him when he enrages or it will be impossible to keep the tank alive.

Comment by Thottbot

The hunter trick, where you pull him with a pet DOES work. However... He is insanely tough. He slaughtered the NPCs in seconds and didn't take him much longer to kill us. I think you gotta go through all thw waves first.

Comment by Thottbot

still a bit bugged though, just tried him again and it went easy, but then wave 5/6/7 came in one go: thanks blizzard, for not testing this ;)

Comment by Thottbot

we tried it again, and last 3 waves attacked at the same time again.

Comment by Thottbot

This is what we did:

We activated the event using Andorov and his friends.

We downed needlers first while NPCs tanked the Qiraji Warriors. We then kited one warrior as we killed the others so we had time let the healers/casters mana up and heal the NPCs.

We assigned healers to the NPCs and made it their mission to keep Andorov and his men up at all costs. The Lt. General's buff is too key to the fight to let the guy die.

When the waves ended we sent in our warriors to spam sunder & generate threat on Rajaxx as Andorov and the remaining NPCs dps-ed him down. Nature resist pots are good to mitigate the General's AOE knockback and damage.

If you keep the NPCs up, Rajaxx is going down.

Comment by Thottbot

Very nice event, a bit confusing at first :)

What we did is make sure our allies NPC survive the different waves.

Each time Main Tank grab the 63+ mob and we DPS his ass like hell... other warriors are to offtank the warrior mobs, the bees (don't know their name in english) are second in list for kill.

We save ONE warrior mob appart from the raid and use him to regen at the end of each wave. Once killed, next wave comes.

Use your fear every time !

Once some aggro was gained, fear the crowd and make sure to kick the 63+ down ASAP, he takes a lot of mana from the healer, I am 7/8 with MC gear with quel serrar and drillborer... 100 nature resist with buff too in this case... he does punct :D

As for ajaxx, make sur you go after him once his aggroed, don't fight him outside, we had bugs while fighting him in there... textures problems and aggro resets... 100% life during our second try, that sucked ^^

General will most likely be the one focused, use your warriors to taunt and draw aggro away from him in order to let him survive... his area buff is so massive that he will heal himself very fast, and you as well !

In case of AOE KB, well it does 1/2 of your current HP damage... but general buff will heal you in no time ! With 100 NR I was saved from many KB BTW :) *resist* ! :D

Dropped that insame two hands sword, looks bad ass, and stats are really awesome too :)

Comment by Thottbot

The 15 min respawn wait for failing is stupid.Right next to Andorov which can be two-shotted from full health by Rajaxx which I've seen the last two attempts

Comment by Thottbot

Holding one warrior at bay in entangle no longer works as of patch 1.10 .
The waves are set on a timer type mode. Where no matter what you get the next wave attacking you.
Not sure of the time frame to work with but it seems to be roughtly 5 to 10 minutes between waves.

Comment by Thottbot

If you wipe on the general the waves before do not respawn. Nor will the NPC's. Unless of course it was a bug for us!

Comment by Thottbot

On the test realm 1.11 I went in with 20 guys, and we stayed against the wall in the room before the general's terrace, so when he stomped he couldn't run after the healers and casters, we could keep him aggroed. I got on the raptor pre made mount and pulled him into that room and I main tanked until about 3/4 way through healer stumbled and I died. I watched as the warriors spammed excecute and sunder...and we beat him. This was our fourth try lol, we wiped so many times...and he didn't drop any epics, only rares, some codex for healing...and some drapes. there was four items. I was tired after that so I left and I'm hoping to do it again sometime soon. General Rajaxx was taken down. :P

Comment by Thottbot

Do not fear the first wave or you might pull others.

Take Needlers first, then warriors, then the General.

Take down the General of the 3rd wave FIRST.

Dispell the General of the last wave ASAP.

Keep the Lieutenant General ALIVE AT ALL COSTS. If you lose him, reset by running into Kurinaxx's room.

Do not fight Rajaxx outside the gates, as there are SO many bugs that may make him evade, and there are no real walls to keep everyone from flying backwards after his AOE.

Notes: Wiping or resetting (you can only reset the boss fight) will respawn all of the packs. Packs seem to be on a timer, rather than based on what you've killed in the previous pack. Mana is VERY necessary. Always have Master Loot on so your guild ninjas won't snag it all ;P

Comment by Thottbot

When you heal while fighting rajaxx, use the lowest rank heal you can. I can do rank 1 lhw and with my +healing gear I heal for about 300, which is all you need. It also helps to stand around the general for his aura: it alone is enough to heal you.

Comment by Thottbot

to Mynnas, i tried the hunter pull, it worked, but my guild leader said it's a bannable offense because you're doing the event differently than what the creators intended the event to be.

Comment by Thottbot

just so every ice mage knows... this boss uses a thunderbash which goes through ice block. yes this is retarded as ice block is supposed to make you immune to almost everything, but the thunderbash is one of a few things that ice block does not make you immune to.

Comment by Thottbot

how exactly do u do the hunter pull? or have they fixed it? anyway i played afterward with my cat with prowl and was never able to pull just him. i kept getting at least one group.

Comment by Thottbot

On more than one attempt, the event bugged out on us. We would kill the third wave and drop from combat. About 60-90 seconds later, two waves would rush us at the same time and wipe us. This is gay.

Comment by Thottbot

have your mages in the raid use amplify magic on everyone, you will get all the healing bonus of it on the captains aura so its 350 per tick not 200.

Comment by Thottbot

me and my guild killed all his waves. all of a sudden rajanaxx comes in with - your never going to believe this, every single one of his waves that we killed. Considering whenever we fight him hes usually bugged it really sucks. blizz needs to fix him

Comment by Allakhazam

there was a rumor going around that blizard had taken out the event and now u just have to kill rajaxx....is this true. please confirm.

Comment by Allakhazam

Yes he is the 2nd boss of AQ 20 man. You start the fight with 5 lvl60-61 elites helping you, but in all honesty...they're not much help.

Once the event is started by by talking to one of the NPCS there will be about 6 waves of mobs that comes at you. Each wave will consist of 7-8 mobs in it. Do whatever kind of crowd control you can to do deal with these mobs. You cannot drink between the waves so be sure to conserve mana however possible, this is an endurance fight for the most part.

After the last wave the General himself comes. He's a big, huge mean looking guy. Watch out for his knockback ;) All in all, this is a really fun encounter.

Comment by Allakhazam

Well i don t know why blizzard have made this fight.is the longer and most borried fight.The problem it s,if u fail al wave respawn,so try to don t die at the 5/6 wave....

Comment by Allakhazam

Our guild had it bugged first time, the Captain chased a Qiraji Warrior to the purple squishy thingy, and we couldn't heal him, LoS I think. He died. :\

And also, the waves seem to come MUCH faster since the patch came in. We used to have no wipes on this part, and we had a very balanced group. And the bats in ZG now explode(again). Did Blizzard even tell us about this? :|

Comment by Allakhazam

Its not neccisary to use the NPC's. We wiped and they hadn't respawned. (FYI The re-spawn on the npc's is only 10 minutes, not 2hrs.)

So we started it ourselves. as we were destroying the 2nd wave we kept one warrior alive and rooted, while we let our mana-sissies regen mana. If you dont use the NPC's You can take down time at the end of teh waves and regen mana.

The only thing to keep in mind. YOU CANNOT GET THE NPC'S MID-ENCOUNTER. They will reset the Trash and it will be a nasty wipe.

Comment by Allakhazam

Ok. What we did is we did not talk to the npcs, then I the OT was assigned a warrior and then we took the fly guy things first and crowd controlled the rest of them. Kill the things in order of Fly guys>warriors(except one)>general and then save the last warrior and have him crowd controlled while the mana users spirit regen. Then when everyone is full on mana have the leader again assign targets for the next grp. Rinse and repeat. The boss himself was difficult. He hits about 800-1500 on me as a tank, and he drops agro every once and a while. The key is if u die u just have to run back. Scince its not a long run you should be fine and it doesnt reset the instance. Oh yeah and our NPCs got slaughtered in the first 20% so honestly they didnt help that much besides giving our healers less work to do on the rest of the grp. You should probly pull him into the room where the first boss was so the people who died dont have to run as far. As for the knockback have one warrior be tanking him and then have another warrior with the main grp and have the warrior with the grp pickup agro and take him away from the grp again. Very sucessful strat. We killed him on our first try

Comment by Allakhazam

The NPC's assist whether or not you talk to them (but you have to fight in range of where they run to line up if you want their assistance), and the waves do not wait for all previous mobs to be dead, they are timed, and fast enough to wipe you if you don't have the dps.

Comment by Allakhazam

ok, this is an extremely easy fight if u can keep up the named npc and have almost everyone friendly with cc. just manage through the waves using aoe fears roots etc theyre timed so dont bother saving one. then since andarov gives u an aura that restores 200 health every 5sec, nobody needs heals, the only aoe he has is a 50% health thing but itll only kill u if ur below 200 health. just watch out for the cleave and andarov will be the only person in need of healing

Comment by Allakhazam

To initiate the fight, you speak with the Lieutenant General that appears after you defeat Kurinnaxx. The battle, as described before, consists of 7 waves of elites, each headed by a captain.

In my experience, having fear rotations done by warriors, priests, and potentially warlocks buys enough time to take down the captain. After that, it's simply a matter of having druids entangling and hunters chain trapping while the rest of the group DPSes the mobs down one at a time. It is extremely important to focus fire on targets-- the mobs have too much HP and hit too hard to effectively AoE them down.

Our group initially started and lost the lieutenant general AND all the friendly elites in the first wave of mass chaos and wiped. Afterwards, we simply began the pull and realized that waves will not come until ALL the mobs during the previous wave have been killed. As a result, we would have druids chain entangling ONE mob while the rest of us regenerated mana, raised the dead, and renewed our buffs. Had the NPCs been alive, we would have no control over the time it takes to kill each wave and unable to start each wave fresh.

Comment by Allakhazam

Once you kill Kurinnaxx make sure no one talks to the Human NPC. Only the main tank is to talk to him, when everyone is in position and ready. The next fight is a triggered event that starts when you talk to the Human NPC. Rajaxx will yell: "The time of our retribution is at hand! Let darkness reign in the hearts of our enemies! No longer will we wait behind barred doors and walls of stone! No longer will our vengeance be denied! The dragons themselves will tremble before our wrath!.

General Rajaxx is an extremely long fight, so the only option for this battle is to conserve mana

Basically, waves and waves of Qiraji Warriors and flyers will keep pouring in. Once a wave dies, another is sent within only two seconds.

Wave 1: Center - Captain Qeez
Swarmguard Needler x2 - Qiraji Warrior x4

Wave 2: Left side - Captain Tuubid
Swarmguard Needler x3 - Qiraji Warrior x3

Wave 3: Right side - Captain Drenn
Swarmguard Needler x5 - Qiraji Warrior x1

Wave 4: Further left - Captain Xurrem
Swarmguard Needler x3 - Qiraji Warrior x3

Wave 5: Further right - Major Yeggeth
Swarmguard Needler x4 - Qiraji Warrior x2

Wave 6: Deep left side - Major Pakkon
Swarmguard Needler x4 - Qiraji Warrior x2

Wave 7: Deep right side - Colonel Zerran
Swarmguard Needler x3 - Qiraji Warrior x3

You need to drink in this short lapse of time if you can. Warlocks and Mages need to put a lot of DPS here on mobs. ALL Warlocks need to fear units constantly, and dot the main tank's target while keeping a watch on the feared mob, to recast fear on them again and again. Druids can entangle-root mobs, and priests should use their Fear-2 mobs ability, hunters might get a chance to place traps in between waves. This orchestrated mob control will ensure the survival of all the 20 players, and keep you save from too much damage. Remember to dot the main tank's target while fearing or entangling. Once it dies, move to the next target -- rinse and repeat, until everyone is dead. Making the fight last longer by crowd controlling is good -- in that lapse of time your healers and DPS casters are regenerating mana.

Once you've finished all the waves, General Rajaxx will make his way to you. Looking into his room, start running towards it and make a right as soon as you pass through the door way. If you're a healer, this is a good place to stand. Generally, the MT needs to keep his back to a wall so when Rajaxx does his AoE knockback or MT knockback, he doesn't go flying across the room and can easily restablish aggro

If you keep the 4 Kaldorei Warriors and Human healed, you won't have much trouble. They have tons of hit points. The challenge is if you wipe and they die. They won't respawn for at least two more hours, so you will be left on your own without the NPCs.

Once you've killed Rajaxx and the NPCs are still up. Give it some time and they despawn and give you 1000+ reputation with Cenarion Hold. You can also pull mobs to them and let them take care of business.

What does it mean when the General says
"Iv lost intrest in you" or something along those lines. How do you make it so it stays on the main tank?

Comment by Allakhazam

I've been interested in this guy since reading the War of the Shifting Sands. Does anyone have any info? I hear he's the second boss of AQR and that you have 10 or so elites helping you, but I can't confirm this...

Comment by Allakhazam

This encounter starts when you talk to the Lt. General NPC (with a great one-liner from the movie Commando, I might add). There are seven waves of enemies before this boss. Each wave comes with roughly 7 mobs consisting of one Captain and various combinations of Needlers and Warriors. The Warriors are slow but have plenty of health. The Needlers are paper by comparison, but are very quick and can do some mean damage if you're not careful. My group tried mass fearing/trapping/rooting the mobs, and taking them down one by one while the MT tanked the Captain of each group. It worked up until the 3rd wave, when that Captain started using an AoE lightning attack. We could get to the 4th wave, but by then we had been all but decimated by the wave before. Any advice on this encounter would be greatly appreciated.

Comment by Allakhazam

My guild has not been able to get past Rajaxx due to these bugs.
We have attempted about 5 or 6 times. Every last attempt was bugged.

The first time was the most frustrating. We cleared to the very
last wave, and all of a sudden the few remaining mobs started evading.
All the previous waves suddenly respawned and all of them came out at once.

Every subsequent time after that we get to the 3rd wave and it doesn't come.
We have tried pulling manually, but the timing is off from that point and
we end up getting multiple waves at once, evading, etc..

Finally opened a ticket with a GM after the last attempt. Response?
As canned as SPAM. "Yes we know, sorry for the inconvienance. Our
developers are working on it."

If they can't fix it, just remove it!

Comment by Allakhazam

lol, I just wiped my AQ raid with my eye of kilrogg looking into the room with all the mobs come from. DONT USE IT! lol

Comment by Allakhazam

Our raid returned to the instance the day after failed attempts on Rajaxx to discover that the instance had not reset as normal. There were no trash mobs, the coffers were back, and we had no NPCs. We thought, oh crap, until we realized that we didn't have the waves, either, only Rajaxx himself. Without the Lt. General, it was quite a different fight. We were able to really learn a lot about him. I posted the following elsewhere as well:

It is still possible to take Rajaxx if the NPCs are dead, though it is a longer and different fight. At least two tanks are necessary, one standing against a wall with the rest of the raid, and the main tank holding Rajaxx away from the raid. The tank standing near the raid is there to taunt Rajaxx and pull him back out to the main tank if he heads toward the raid. Because of the lack of the Lt. General to hold Rajaxx, the aggro wipe caused by Rajaxx's thunderclap means that the next person who does anything will gain aggro. Because it takes a moment for the tanks to get back aggro, no DoTs or HoTs should be used. Because everyone but the tanks has low health through most of the fight, anyone gaining aggro will likely die in one hit.

Comment by Allakhazam

Here is what works for our group:

Do not talk to the NPCs.

For each wave have a tank OT the captain type guy and kill all but 1 of the others (chain fear the fliers and tank/root the walkers. Focus DPS one at a time). When you have 1 walker left kill the captain and then wait until everyone regens their mana before killing the last walker (this can be a while if there is low spirit so use the Divine spirit on mana users). Note during the regen time one war can be tanking the walker, rotating heals so regen is faster.

After all 7 waves, regen then talk to the NPCs so you have them for the fight. Let the main NPC be the main tank (dont try to grab aggro from him). Heal the npc and try to get Rajaxx as low as possible while hitting him from ranged. If the npcs die then use two tanks or kite him around. Believe you can freeze trap him too if necessary. Remember you can graveyard run if you need to.

My guild has taken down Rajaxx twice so far, but on our third try (Tuesday 9/19/06) the event got bugged. After the 4th wave was killed, the NPC does his usual yelling and then we wait... The 5th wave didn't come for a minute or 2 (it usually takes 10 sec) and we were all out of combat (usually in combat for the duration) so we decided to pull one group. We started killing the group that came and then halfway through, another wave came and wiped us.

We figured if we would have waited it might have been fine so on our second attempt after we all healed up and let the NPCs respawn, the same thing happened right after the 4th wave. We decided to wait it out. This time, the next wave eventually came by itself. We killed it. The next wave came by itself and then, halfway through, the next group came early and wiped us. Something in the timing is off.

Anyone else having similar problems around the 5th-7th waves or can think of something else we could try?

Genaral Rajaxx unlike most other raid bosses in instances is suspectable to some forms of crowd control, i.e Hunter's Freeze trap. After a near wipe on him one of the hunters in my guild pulled him into a freeze trap and proceeded to chain trap him for a minute. enough time for casters to regen mana. When you think about it, it makes sense that it works on him, as all the other mobs in the 6 - 7 waves before hand can be crowd controlled in similar fashion

Had us all laughing the first time it happened as we didn't think it was possible. Not sure If Frost Nova or Engtangling Roots or such things also work but could someone post if they do?

Have a Hunter or Mage kite the last mob of each wave, so that casters can regen.
