A holy priest shield – giving the speed boost is very nice to both the infected person and kiting tank.

Also – we require Tuskarr’s boot enchant – since WotLK has become very move intensive, anything that speeds that up is very useful.

Festergut requires a solid mix of all 3 roles. Generally its best to have your strongest tank take festergut first so he takes it during the enrage.
Provided people handle spores correctly and spread out and the healers handle the raid damage and the tanks taunt at the correct time its a fairly simple fight.

We tend to blow heroism/bloodlust at the start of both fights.

Professor Putridus is also a fairly easy fight once you get the rhythm. I’d post more but I don’t want to ruin the fun Its a nice fight to learn though

I’m glad to see the advice on the cleansing duties. We almost always double heal and Rotface is currently our wall. Everything seems to fall apart around 30% or so. We double heal most of the time and I keep telling my guildmates that we should probably have someone else (even a dps) on abolish/cleanse detail, but they keep saying we should share it. Between regular healing detail, being aware of where you are, where two other people are, and timing your dispel properly, it’s a LOT to manage. It felt like I was splitting my brain at least four different ways. You’re basically actively doing 5 things at once.

I’ll have to bring this up with my guild. Thanks.

Keep the thoughts and tips coming! Plagueworks is quite a dangerous place for those who dare to tread!

It’s best to have one person in charge of cleansing the Mutated Infection (our only exception is if you can cleanse your own, you are welcome to do so, just not anyone else’s). If everyone is doing it, timing can vary significantly and cause problems. Here are my “preferred people” to put in charge of this responsibility (of course I’m assuming the player is competent enought to be capable of cleansing):

1) Pally Tank kiting the big ooze
2) DPSer you trust (2 healers)
3) Healer you trust (3 healers)

The reasoning behind the choices should be pretty obvious… the Pally OT kiting the ooze should be in a wonderful position to cleanse people at the right time and they also should have the free time. If you are running two healers, you are already putting some stress on them and DPS really should not be an issue, so sacrificing a GCD from a DPSer is far less risky than having your Holy Pally attempting to heal and cleanse everyone at the same time (trust me, I’ve two healed it as a Holy Pally when I had to cleanse… it’s not fun). With three healers, there should be no issue with handling the cleanses and healing.

We usually just cleanse people after 2-3 seconds. If they aren’t in position or close at that point, WTH were they doing?

Couple of good shamans can really do wonders here. They can time their CH right after decimate.

And yes Mike, thanks, and ofc you’re meant to kill them. But if something goes wrong, not getting caught in that explosion is a Good Thing.

2) Putting down frost traps and other slowing effects is a good way to aggro the zombies onto your hunters (or whomever is putting down the slow effects). Just keep kiting, the zombies are plenty slow as is.
