Bosses
There are 7 bosses in Razorfel Downs, including one Rare boss that is not always present, one boss that only appears during the escort quest, and one boss that is part of the Scourge Invasion event that precedes the opening of the Naxxramas event.
- Tuten’kash
- Plaguemaw the Rotting (Quest)
- Mordresh Fire Eye
- Ragglesnout (Rare)
- Glutton
- Amnennar the Coldbringer
- Lady Falther’ess (Scourge Event)
Tuten’kash
Summon the first boss in Razorfen Downs by ringing the gong in the boss’ chamber. The first two times the gong is rang, waves of spider adds will come into the room from either side. The third time you ring the gong, the boss is summoned. Killing Tuten’Kash is straightforward, and many groups may not need to worry about dispelling the Virulent Poison or decursing Curse of Tuten’kash.
Strategy
- Tank: The tank simply needs to pick up Tuten’kash and face him away from the group to avoid Web Spray.
- Healer: Stay behind the boss and focus your healing spells on the tank. Druids decurse Curse of Tuten’kash as necessary.
- Damage Dealers: Stay behind Tuten’kash to avoid Web Spray, and mages/druids decurse Curse of Tuten’kash from your healers or caster DPS as necessary.
Loot
Plaguemaw the Rotting (Quest)
If you choose to escort Belnistrasz while in Razorfen Downs, then Plaguemaw will be presented as the final boss of the event. The boss is simple and is the easiest part of the escort itself. Managing the multiple adds before him is the challenging part, as you need to keep Belnistrasz protected from mobs which spawn quickly. You cannot heal the NPC, be very careful holding threat off him.
Strategy
- Tank: The tank should be picking up and marking adds as they spawn, focusing on keeping any off of Belnistrasz and the healer. Plaguemaw himself is a simple tank and spank.
- Healer: The healer in this fight’s main priority is keeping themselves from getting threat on any adds as they spawn. Keep up your tank and any other classes helping pick up mobs.
- Damage Dealers: Classes that can off tank adds or use any CC abilities should do so during this encounter to make protecting Belnistrasz easier. When Plaguemaw spawns, use your DPS rotation to maximize damage output.
Loot
Mordresh Fire Eye
Mordresh is a caster skeleton boss which you encounter on top of a pile of bones, surrounded by non-elite skeletons. Groups should AoE down the non elite and then focus DPS on Mordresh. He does not have very high armor, so this fight is easy for a balanced group composition.
Strategy
- Tank: The Tank should use an AoE ability to generate some initial threat on the non elite adds, but focus on establishing threat on Mordresh. Interrupt Fireball when possible.
- Healer: The healer should wait to use any spells until the tank has managed to establish some threat among the adds and the boss. Early healing aggro will result in a wipe if the adds are attracted to the healer. Focus on the tank, but be aware that the rest of the group may take damage from adds and Fire Nova.
- Damage Dealers: Starting the fight, the DPS should focus on using AoE spells and abilities to take care of the adds quickly – as long as the adds are dealt with quickly, this fight will be easy for DPS to take down Mordresh. Once focusing on the boss, use interrupts to prevent Fireball.
Loot
Ragglesnout (Rare)
Ragglesnout is a rare Quillboar mob who casts shadow spells, heal, and mind controls. This fight requires other members to fill in healing or picking up the boss if your Tank or Healer become affected by Dominate Mind.
Strategy
- Tank: Tank the boss facing away from the group, and rotate interrupts with your group on Heal and Shadow Bolt.
- Healer: Focus on healing the tank, and using HoTs and bubble effects to prevent damage done to other players during Dominate Mind.
- Damage Dealers: During this encounter, interrupt Shadow Bolt and Heal while maximizing your DPS output as well. If your healer or Tank are under Dominate Mind, fill in and attempt to CC the MC’d party member.
Loot
Glutton
This abomination patrols below The Spiral of Thorns. The fight is a tank and spank.
Strategy
- Tank: Pick up the boss, and face him away from the group.
- Healer: Focus on healing the tank during the enrage phase, and avoid Disease Cloud.
- Damage Dealers: Melee should stay behind the boss, and all DPS need to avoid the Disease Cloud ability.
Loot
Amnennar the Coldbringer
Amennar is a servant to the Lich King, and the final boss of RFD. The boss casts frost spells and a knock back. The group should stack up behind the boss while the tank faces him towards the tent where he spawns. Interrupting Recipe: Ghost Dye and avoiding summoned Frost Spectres while maximizing DPS will bring this fight to a close with no issues.
Strategy
- Tank: The Tank simply needs to face the boss away from the group to avoid Amnennar’s Wrath.
- Healer: Healing this fight should be straightforward, just stack up with the group and pay attention to who is taking damage from the summoned adds.
- Damage Dealers: The DPS in this fight should stack up to reduce to effects of Frost Nova. When Frost Spectres are summoned, avoid them while ranged burn them down and then switch back to the boss.
Loot
Lady Falther’ess (Scourge Event)
Lady Falther’ess is a boss that only shows up during the Scourge Invasion. She may silence people so watch your health throughout the fight. Apart from that it’s a very straightforward fight.
Strategy
- Tank: This is a simple fight. Maximize threat so the DPS can do maximum damage.
- Healer: Keep up the tank on this simple fight. Be aware of Banshee Shriek so don’t let the tank dip down too much.
- Damage Dealers: This is a simple tank and spank. Just don’t out threat the tank and watch out for your health if the healer is affected by Banshee Shriek.
