Naxx: Plague Quarter
The plague quarter offers timing-sensitive encounters. In particular a movement-heavy and a tricky-to-heal fight. Gear still isn’t really important, but players have to have good timing.
Noth
Abilities
- Curse of the plaguebringer (3players, curse, procs wrath o.t.p. on player after 10s, dispellable)
- Wrath of the plaguebringer (30yrd aoe, ~4k + 10sec 800dps dot)
- Plagued Warriors (summon 2 adds)
- Teleport (every 110sec, teleports to his balcony, invulnerable)
The Fight
- MT engage Noth
- Decurse CotP
- OT picks up & gathers adds
- On Teleport AoE adds, MT picks up new adds
- kill all adds before dpsing Noth again
Heigan
Abilities
- Spell disruption (20yrd aura, casttime +300%)
- Decrepit fever (disease, rnd-target, ~1k dps dot, maxhealth of players within 20yds -50%, dispellable)
- Eruption (aoe on 3 of 4 areas)
- Plague cloud (7.5k dps to players on platform, only as long as Heigan is there after a teleport)
The Fight
- MT engage Heigan
- Ranged DPS on platform
- MT move Heigan from safe area to safe area with distance to the platform
- Eruption will be cast all couple seconds, after a cast move on to next zone immediately
- Cure disease immediately
- When Heigan teleports to platform, Eruption is cast real fast, everyone needs to run for their lifes
Hint: Key to this fight is keeping everyone in the safe zones, especially when Heigan teleported to the platform. There’s no sense in explaining it in words, see a video or guide and remember or mark the safe spots. You can use totems to mark the spots, fires, or just remember them.
Loatheb
Abilities
- Necrotic Aura (raid-wide debuff, 17sec, -100% healing, cast every 20sec)
- Deathbloom (DoT, 2.4k dmg over 6sec)
- Inevitable doom (raid-wide debuff, 4k dmg after 10sec)
- Fungal Creep (on killing a spore, 10yds, max. 5 players, +50% crit, no threat)
The Fight
- MT engage Loatheb where he stands
- Healers throw out group & instant heals in 3sec window
- DPS try to get Fungal Creep
- Keep spores away from MT
Hint: Key to this fight is the 3sec healing window. Your healers have to adopt to it and get people up fast in a short time.
