- Keep distance to Marrowgar when he does [Bone Storm], but don't run out of healer range.

Lady Deathwhisper
In the first phase of this fight we burn Lady Deathwisper's manashield down while adds are spawning. The second phase consist of killing Lady Deathwisper herself
- Phase 1
- Adherents are to be killed first. We usually try to have them dead before they cast [Shroud of the Occult].
- Adds can become Deformed Fanatics which will be kited and have to be killed fast.
- Phase 2
- [Frostbolt] should be interrupted.
- Vengeful Shades will be summoned, pursue a random target and cast [Vengeful Blast]. Avoid them.
- During the whole fight she can casts [Death and Decay]. Move out of its influence.
- Attention should be paid on decursing the raid.
Tanks:
- In 10 men adds spawn alternating on the left and right sides. In 25 men we need 3 tanks because we also get adds from behind.
- In phase 2, tanks rotate at 5 stacks of [Touch of Insignificance].
Healers:
- 2 healers in 10 men, 6 healers in 25 men.
Kiting:
- Deformed Fanatics should be picked up and kited away from the raid as soon as they spawn.

Festergut
Festergut, one of Professor Putricide's creation is mainly a dps race with spores protecting us from deadly gases he releases.
- Placement of [Gas Spore] is crucial, we have a detailed strategy page covering it.
- Ranged should spread at least 7 yards from each others, not to harm others with [Vile Gas].
- When a spore is up, ranged collapse on the designated spot. 3 stacks of [Gas Spore] is needed to survive [Pungent Blight].
- Healers stand on tanks.
Tanks:
- Two tanks rotating when they get 9 stacks of [Gastric Bloat].

- 3 healers in 10 men, 6 healers in 25 men.
Extra:
- We usually trigger Heroism when Fester reaches 3 stacks of [Inhale Blight] for the first time.

Rotface
Rotface is mostly a survival fight. Since more and more Little Oozes will spawn over time it does require certain dps output too.
- Whole raid should spread tight around Rotface, maybe 4 to 6 yards distance.
- Only after [Unstable Ooze Explosion], people should run away from the center of the hall.
- When getting [Mutated Infection] start moving towards the kite path. Once dispelled make sure your Little Ooze does merge.
- Rotface regularly casts [Slime Spray], move behind him to avoid damage.
- Don't stand in the green goo.
Tanks:
- One tank in 10 and 25 men.
Healers:
- 3 healers in 10 men, 6 healers in 25 men.
Kiting:
- Always keep the Big Ooze at least 10 yards away from yourself and the raid.
- The Ooze Flood slows your run speed so paladin Blessing of Freedom or Priests Speed Shield help you to survive.
Extra:
- Heroism to be triggered once sunders and dps rotations are up, within 30 seconds into fight.

Professor Putricide
This fight consists of three phases. At first he will regularly cast Unstable Experiment which will spawn adds. At 80% health he will stun the whole raid. Once it wears off phase 2 starts with him also using Choking Gas Bomb. No more adds spawn in phase 3 and a dps race starts against debuffs and the room filling up with green goo.
- Volatile Ooze (green) always spawns first, raid starts on orange side close to the table.
- Raid moves in a circular motion to always have largest distance to the add that is going to spawn.
- Volatile Ooze (green), players should collapse on target. Gas Cloud (orange) should be kited.
- Share the damage in case an add reaches its target alive. Melee should not move towards adds before it picked a target.
- He will throw [Choking Gas]. Move away, the bottles are harmful and will do [Choking Gas Explosion].
- Move away when targeted by [Malleable Goo], also move away from the vicinity of the targeted player.
- Once phase 3 starts raid should stay close together, use the available space well.
- Never stand in green goo.
Tanks:
- 2 tanks in 10 men, 3 tanks in 25 men. Tanks rotating on 3 and 4 stacks of [Mutated Plague] in phase 3.

Healers:
- Never cleanse the abomination tank.
- 2 or 3 healers in 10 men, 7 healers in 25 men.
DPS:
- Since phases switch at 80% and 35% health it makes sense to pay attention and kill adds before triggering it.
Extra:
