We first tried this with a mage though he was having a hard time surviving (also it was our first time there). Next i attempted to kite (i'm a holy paladin used to tank them (as prot) when we did lvl 70 runs for fun)....that didn't go well at all...the debuff is too powerful to tank. The next day when we went, we had better dps but also had a hunter with us who didn't have any problem at all. Traps slowed them down, we had a totem to lend a hand and anything he wasn't able to pick up, i drug over. So in essence we had 2 healers for the tanks, i was on the kiter, and between my shields and instant casts it was easy to keep my hunter alive. At one point going into the second decimate he did have 20+ stacks on him so we decided to enlarge the kiting circle just before it to give him some time for it to wear off. I took the new mobs and by the time decimate was over and he was starting on the next batch, the debuff had worn off. As a side note, If you're healing the kiter as a paladin, use holy wrath immediately after decimate. It will give your raid more time to burn down the adds, and along with a tidalwave they should never get close to gluth. Kales last blog post..Naxx 10 Cleared

@Chainey: Yeah, it’s a good call. I’ve only done Gluth a few times. The priority is to get everyone out of the danger zone. I didn’t have mods or timers for Decimate. Definitely figure that into the rotation once you get the timing down.

I would think here a pally-druid-priest combo would be ideal (or pally,shaman,priest).

One thing I don’t see you suggesting is precasting a PoH.

Tossing around a few CoH’s is good and all, but if you can time a PoH to land immediately after decimate, seems like you’d be in a good place to pick up from where you left off.

Since started WoW right at tBC launch and never seen Naxx all this is new to me like the previous poster above said vs been recycled content for the few that did experience Naxx before. Galohearts last blog post..Guild Crap!

@ Mithral - On the contrary, I'm excited that it's the same mechanics! I started WoW after TBC was released, and have heard my guildies go on and on about how epic and wonderful Naxx was. I'm looking forward to experiencing it myself. Isisxotics last blog post..Self Hosting, You Say?

Is anyone else a little bit saddened that these fights are so very similar to the lvl-60 version of Naxx?

I was kinda hoping for ‘new and interesting’ fight mechanics instead of more-or-less recycling the existing boss-abilities.
