This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Instructor Razuvious 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

• Accompanied by four Deathknight Understudies.
  • Deathknight Understudy
    • Must be Mind Controlled by a Priest to tank Instructor Razuvious.
      • Taunt forces the targeted enemy to attack the Understudy.
      • Bone Barrier reduces damage taken by the Understudy.
    • When Mind Control breaks, Mind Exhaustion makes the affected Understudy immune to Mind Control for 1-minute.
    • When Instructor Razuvious dies, Hopeless greatly increases damage taken.
• The tanks (Understudies) will be dealing with Unbalancing Strike, reducing Defense.
• Break line of sight to avoid the mana drain effect from Disrupting Shout.

Season of Mastery Differences

• Currently, I'm not aware of any mechanical differences.
• There are new quests offered by Archmage Tarsis Kir-Moldir just inside Naxxramas, and it was suggested that these could lead to surprises that "have a significant impact" inside and outside Naxxramas.

Resistance Levels

• Players generally won't make use of 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.

• Your main focus will be healing the Deathknight Understudy currently tanking Razuvious.

Debuffs to Track

• There are no particular debuffs to track.
