Naxx Strategies

Naxxramas
==================================================

Anub:
Pay attention to impale if its coming towards you move left or right as fast as possible. You can out range the damage so stay as far as possible.

Locus swarm, spawns a new spider. Need to have a tank pick this up. Boss slowed to 40%, MT should get aspect of the pack to run faster and outrun the swarm.

Crypt fiends(spiders), try to keep as far as possible from anub when killed. Should be killed like aq40 bugs, when he gets low, stack behind him so don't eat cleave, then start aoe when scarabs come out. Improv blizzard, frost nova, and cone of cold. Need all AOE so arcane explosion and rain of fire as fast as possible to get them down. No hellfire. Consercation works too. Also when fighting the spider, stunlock as much as possible, stun rotation would be good.

MT + hunter(for aspect) + 3-4 healers on boss.
1 Offtank and 2 healers on left spider
2 offtanks and 2 healers on right spider
1 Hunter on frost trap when spider dies.

Rest of healers heal raid and be quick so people can get healed if they are impaled.

Left spider dies first then right spider. Tank near initial places. As locus swarm is cast, it spawns a spider so all dps on the spider, tank on west side of room. Kill ASAP and fast as possible once killed and scarabs dead, focus on anub until next locus.

Melee if someone dies, you have to run over and kill all the scarabs as fast as you can. Same with casters if you see them but mainly melee.

P.S The first two spiders are able to be shackled i heard, so we might be shackling them at first then killing after the boss has died, but depending on how we want to do it the strat will be slightly different.



Roles/Jobs:

Mages: When a Crypt fiend dies, have a flamestrike ready to go before he dies. Then after he dies, frost nova the scarabs and aoe them done as fast as possible. You might want to have mana shield up because if they hit you, they hit very hard. After killing the bugs continue to dps the boss.

Warlocks: When a Crypt fiend dies, rain of fire the scarabs, dont use hellfire because we wont have the healers to keep you up against the bugs. Then resume dps on boss when scarabs are dead.

Hunters: One hunter will be near the MT, when the boss casts locus his job is to put aspect of the pack on and run with the tank to the other side. Another hunter or two is to put frost traps near the crypt fiend, so when he dies, the scarabs will be hit and slowed so casters will be able to aoe the them down.

Tanks: One MT will tank the boss, another tank will be ready to pick up the Crypt Fiends when the boss casts locus swarm. Depending on how we do the strat, we will need 3 offtanks in the beginning. As mentioned above ^^^. 1 on the left, two on the right, if we dont shackle.

Warriors: DPS the fiends, the scarabs, the boss. If a person dies, get ready to try to pick up the scarabs and dps them down.

Healers: Mentioned above in the strat ^^^

Priests: If we are shackling the two fiends in the beginning, two priests will need to keep up the shackles the whole fight. Also i am thinking having priests in the mage/warlock groups would be great for prayer of healing when the scarabs come out to try to keep the aoe'rs alive.



==================================================

==================================================
Maexxna:

Everyone will stand on the west side of the room, back towards the fall and facing the middle, where the maex will be tanked

Nature Resist Pots help a lot and very easy to farm, so everyone should be popping them during this fight

Save CDs for 30% enrage.



This fight has 40second cycles.

1(8*)-20seconds:
DPS boss, every be at full hp.

20-30seconds:
Maex will cast Web Wrap. 3 members will be flung to the nearest wall. Hunters will dps the coocoons. melee and casters can help too if they are near. Shield/DOT heals on them before they are hit help keep them up. top everyone off after this is done.

30-40seconds:
8-10 spiders will spawn, they must be down within the 10 seconds or most likely wipe. all dps concentrate on getting them down. Warlocks no hellfire. Frost nova works great.

40seconds:
Maex will cast Web Spray, everyone is stunned for 8seconds and the cycle starts all over, when you get stunned.



For the Web Spray, a druid and priest have the most important job. at about 35seconds (5seconds before cast), the druid needs to cast regrowth, rejev, and then abolish poison in that order to ensure that the tank stays alive else not, they will die. The priest needs to bubble and renew the MT also during this time.

During Enrage, everyone DPS the boss no matter what, and healers just focus on healing the MT. Forget web wrap.


Class Jobs:

Mages: Amplify Magic the MT, helps a lot. Also when the spiders are spawned, have a mage or two be ready with frost nova, so the spiders are as far away as possible from the healers.

Hunters: DPS the coocoons then the 3 players are trapped in them

Druid: Regrowth, rejev, abolish, at 35seconds each cycle.

Priest: Bubble and renew at 35seconds.

Tank: use shield wall for the first web wrap, then if needed last stand and lifegiving gem for the next. Shield block the whole time when maex is enraged.

Pally: can shield through the wrap and then take it off to continue to spam heal the tank to keep him up. Need a rotation going.


Everyone else just DPS the boss pretty much.


==================================================

==================================================
Grand Widow Faerlina


Greater Fire and Greater Nature Resist Potions help a lot during this whole fight, so bring some.



This fight is a lot like visc in AQ40. She sends a poison volley out every 10seconds. Venom sac if you get the debuff so healers can concentrate on healing the tanks.

She also has a Rain of Fire, so be on your toes. It hits like the twin emp's blizzard so about 2k. Stay spread out the whole fight so we can minimize the amount of people getting hit.

Enrage happens at :50, 1:50, 2:50, and 3:50. To remove the enrage and priest must mind control a worshiper and use his sacrfice ability. This will stop the enrage and also prolong the next one for 60seconds. Also she is spell locked, so she cant cast her poison volley for 30seconds. This is the time to make sure everyone is healed up and ready for the next 30seconds.


Class jobs:

Tanks: Need a couple of tanks for this fight. Need to MT faerlina, then off tank the 4 worshippers, and also kill or OT the 2 followers.
Priests: Mind Control a worshipper when needed. Dont use sacrifice before she is enraged or else it wont work like its supposed too, wait till she is, then hit it as fast as possible.
