Posted: Dec 02, 2025 Views: 143
WoW Mists Of Pandaria Classic Phase 3, The Thunder King, is confirmed to launch on December 9th at 3 PM PST. Are you ready?
According to the roadmap announced at the initial release of Mists of Pandaria Classic, Phase 3 is in the middle of this expansion, so it's time for them to unleash their full potential and bring players a brand new gaming experience!
Based on the leaked information, this phase update certainly doesn't disappoint players, adding two brand new areas, new World Bosses, a Legendary questline, and a new Throne of Thunder Raid.

Perhaps because there hasn't been a new raid since Phase 2, Throne of Thunder raid has generated considerable buzz since its announcement. Furthermore, the ToT raid introduces 13 boss fights, only one of which is optional, meaning another chaotic battle awaits!
- Jin'rokh the Breaker
- Horridon
- Council of Elders
- Megaera
- Ji-Kun
- Durumu the Forgotten
- Tortos
- Primordius
- Dark Animus
- Iron Qon
- Twin Consorts
- Lei Shen
- Ra-den (Optional)
The 13 bosses in Throne of Thunder Raid progress linearly, with no skipping or optional order, and the dungeon layout is intuitive, with clear paths from one boss to the next. Therefore, the first boss we face is Jin'rokh the Breaker, currently the easiest boss in Throne of Thunder.
However, don't underestimate it! To get a good start, you still need to be prepared, and this guide is the perfect opportunity to shine!
Jin'rokh The Breaker Mechanics
In the Jin'rokh the Breaker boss fight, we used a classic dual-tank, dual-healer lineup; of course, DPS-focused combinations also work.
For this boss, there are actually only three main mechanics you need to be aware of.
Focused Lightning
The first is Focused Lightning, a lightning orb that randomly locks onto a raid member. When the lightning orb hits a target, it places a Lightning Fissure, dealing a small amount of damage. However, don't worry, as the damage is extremely low; a small shield or even a simple personal ability is sufficient to mitigate it. Therefore, you can completely ignore the damage it causes.
What's more important is the placement of Lightning Fissure. When it hits a player, it leaves a small puddle of lightning on the ground.
Please note that you should never place another puddle on top of an existing one, as this can easily wipe the entire raid. This is because the detonation damage of Focused Lightning will be conducted through the water, dealing significant damage to players standing in the lightning puddle.
Ionization
This leads to Jin'rokh's second mechanic: Ionization. This is a debuff that affects eight players in the raid. That is, everyone except the tank is affected.
Ionization works by exploding after 15 seconds, or when the debuff is dispelled, dealing 450,000 damage to yourself and all players within an 8-yard radius.
There are several different ways to deal with this debuff.
The first way is to pre-cast immunity or prevent it from taking effect altogether. Therefore, Mages, Paladins, and any other class that grants immunity to magical effects can prevent Ionization from being applied to yourself. It is crucial that you use immunity before Ionization takes effect. If you use it after it takes effect, it will detonate immediately, potentially wiping the entire raid, especially if you are standing inside the puddle.
The second way is to run out of the puddle, calling for a Dispel, using a large cooldown spell to absorb the 450,000 damage, and ensuring the damage is dispelled after leaving the puddle.
Finally, if your Dispel skill isn't high enough, you can time it so that the 15-second Ionization debuff expires naturally just as you leave the puddle. This means you don't necessarily have to dispel it, making things easier.
Lightning Storm
Now let's talk about the third and most dangerous one - Lightning Storm. This will charge all the water on the ground. So, you should first avoid the water, as it will cause continuous damage to your entire raid. Then, pillars of lightning will fall from the sky, each unleashing four to five bolts of lightning that spread throughout the room.
So a lot is happening at once, and your primary task is to dodge these lightning orbs. Because of the continuous damage, being hit by two or three lightning orbs can easily kill you.
Again, don't worry too much about the damage, as there's almost no damage detection in this fight; just focus on dodging.
It's worth noting that in 10-player mode, you might not have enough cooldown time to withstand multiple attacks, unlike in 25-player mode. Therefore, we recommend spreading out in the early stages of 10-player mode and using all raid healing and defensive abilities.
If you have personal defensive abilities, use them as much as possible to dodge attacks. The two mechanics mentioned earlier will return after the Lightning Storm ends, but this is fine as long as you followed our previous advice.
How To Defeat The Boss?
As we said, Jin'rokh the Breaker, as the first boss in Throne of Thunder raid, is very easy to handle, with only one repeating phase. So let's jump straight into the boss fight strategy.
First and foremost, conserve your abilities' cooldowns. You need to save all your abilities for when the first pool of Lightning Puddle appears, as the water amplifies damage.
When you're standing in those puddles, or more precisely, Conductive Water, your damage and healing will increase by 40%. Therefore, you need to schedule Bloodlust and all your abilities' cooldowns to take advantage of this damage boost.
Next, have the entire team enter the puddle and use all your potions on cooldown, along with Bloodlust, to deal as much damage as possible to the boss. Also, since Ionization will trigger at this point, it's recommended to become immune to this effect beforehand. As we mentioned before, being immune to this debuff beforehand reduces the damage dealt to the entire team and gives you more time to attack the boss.
After the first damage amplification, you need to leave the puddle. Lightning Storm will charge the puddles on the floor, and anyone remaining inside will be killed. Therefore, you need to use as many remaining defensive and raid abilities as possible to ensure your survival. Don't worry about damage during this phase; just dodge attacks and stay alive.
Then, repeat the strategy from the first throw, only slightly moving the boss to the other side of the room, where you want the next puddle to land. Then, return to the new puddle and repeat the same steps.
During this time, Ionization will reappear. If you can regain immunity to it, do so; otherwise, do as before and leave the puddle before the debuff wears off.
One last thing to note is Thundering Throw. Never stand in the area where Jin'rokh is about to throw the tank, as it will damage and stun all players within an 8-yard radius. Therefore, spread out and move only after the tank lands. Repeat this cycle until you finally defeat the boss.
That's it! Congratulations on defeating Jin'rokh the Breaker! But don't get too excited, as this is just the beginning of Throne of Thunder raid; the next boss is the real challenge. Stay tuned to IGGM; we may release a full guide to the next raid bosses in the future. Stay tuned!
