M'uru, Healer Guide
Updated 1 year ago for patch 2.5.5 by Preston. View the change log.
This page covers a healer-focused strategy for M'uru in Sunwell Plateau 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 with the encounter, combat log information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

This stage begins the encounter and ends when M'uru is killed.

Healing Notes
Quick Notes
The notes below mostly pertain to progression difficulty, meaning if you out-gear the encounter or use extra healers they may not apply.
- Use Cooldowns
- while Void Spawns are alive if they're near players
- during stage two
- Other things to watch for
- Healing increase quickly during stage two, so conserving mana during stage one may be necessary.
