Heroic ICC25m Rotface (and surviving server issues)



Last night was a pretty rough night for heroic ICC. The server had login difficulties, and many players ended up waiting up to 30 minutes on blue line before getting in game. As a result, we had to do a bit of juggling. We nearly canceled the raid! However, being able to adapt and communicate makes overcoming challenges like these a possibility.

Since we only had one paladin, tank healing and Hand of Freedom became a major issue that we managed to overcome. Through it all, we downed a few bosses, but I forgot to video record some of the encounters. Luckily, I did remember to press record on Rotface!

Here are a few things to remember when downing Heroic Mode Rotface:
  • With Putricide in the equation, you now get Vile Gas on a random player. Melee will not get this debuff if there are at least 8 ppl in ranged.
  • Mutated Infection now deals more damage and reduces healing by 75%.
  • Ooze flood deals approximately 5.5K dmg/sec and reduces movement speed by 10%. This stacks up to 10xs for 5secs. Players and Ooze tank can't spend too much time in ooze flood or they will get rooted.
  • Throwing a Hand of Freedom on the add (or ooze) tank when they call for it will help with kiting.
