Patchwerk, Healer Guide
Posted 1 year, 6 months ago for patch 1.13.6 by Preston.
This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Patchwerk in Naxxramas. 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 with the encounter, logs information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.
General Mechanics and Abilities
- The tanks will be dealing with
Hateful Strike.
- This will not hit the current top threat target. The top threat tank will be dealing only with auto attack damage.
- It will hit the second, third, or fourth highest threat target that also has the highest current hit points and is in melee range.
- If a melee DPS moves above one of the tanks in threat, they can step into the slime river to lower their health and help ensure they're less likely to be a target.
- At 5% health,
Enrages, increasing physical damage dealt and attack speed.
- After 7-minutes, goes
Berserk, greatly increasing physical damage dealt and attack speed, and rapidly fires
Slime Bolts at all players.
Resistance Levels
- Players generally won't make use of any additional resistances on this encounter.
Healing Notes
The notes below mostly pertain to progression difficulty, meaning if you out-gear the difficulty you're on or use extra healers they may not apply.
- All off-tanks must be kept at full health in order to remain primary targets for
Hateful Strike.
- Additionally, melee DPS can be kept at lower health in order to further decrease their chances of being targeted.
Debuffs to Track
- There are no particular debuffs to track.
