The Slave Pens, Healer Guide

Updated 2 years ago for patch 2.5.2 by Preston. View the change log.

This page covers healer-focused strategies for The Slave Pens dungeon in The Burning Crusade. While it's tailored for healers, other roles may also find the information useful. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can leave a comment below or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences as well as Dungeon Journal and combat log information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.



 Bosses

Below are guides for the bosses in The Slave Pens, including their abilities, healer notes, and addon settings.

Mennu the Betrayer Dungeon Journal Model Mennu the Betrayer

 Healing Notes

  • As long as the totems are kept under control this fight shouldn't be very healing intensive. The hardest totem will be the Corrupted Nova Totem, which is most likely to hit the tank and melee DPS.
