Razorfen Kraul, Healer Guide
Updated 3 years, 9 months ago for patch 1.13 by Preston. View the change log.
This page covers healer-focused strategies for the Razorfen Kraul dungeon. 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 information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.
Best for players level 30-40.
