Hurry will ya!? Make quick Werk of him!
Abilities
Hateful Strike (Physical) – Deals 79000 to 81000 damage to a threatening target with the highest health within melee range.
There’s also a River of Slime in the encounter:
Slime (Nature) – A horrible slime envelops the target, reducing all attributes by 90% and deals 500 Nature damage every 2 sec.
Class requirements
Good dps, friggin’ good healers and amazing tanks.
The pull
The MT followed by the OT(s) will engange Patchwerk together and place him in front of the River of Slime.
Positions and strategy
There’s not really any trick to this fight. It’s plain Tank & Spank. Either your healers manage to keep your tanks alive and the dps keels him quickly, or you all die.
The boss uses only one attack, which is the Hateful Strike linked above. So, as long as your off-tanks are above the health of all your other melee dps, noone but the off-tanks will take damage in this encounter. Now, to make life a bit easier for your tanks, the melee dps can use the River of Slime behind Patchwerk to reduce their stats by 90%. This results in their health droppin’ by lots, so they will stay always below the tanks.
By the way, people refer to this fight as a gear check, so you may wipe a few times in here if you are new to Naxxramas.
Normal Difficulty
The tactic doesn’t differ on normal difficulty.
