Maexxna, Healer Guide
Updated 5 months, 4 weeks ago for patch 1.13.6 and Season of Mastery by Preston. View the change log.
This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Maexxna 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
- Don't stand in front to avoid Poison Shock.
- Dispel Necrotic Poison (poison) quickly to remove the reduced healing received effect.
- Targets three random players with Web Wrap, knocking them backwards to the wall and dealing light damage over time until the Web Wrap is killed.
- Every 40-seconds, deals moderate damage to all players and stuns them with Web Spray.
- Every 40-seconds, spawns Maexnna Spiderlings, which should be killed quickly.
- At 30% health, (28747) s, gaining increased attack speed and physical damage dealt.
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
- Melee players should use as much Nature Resistance as possible without sacrificing other stats.
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.
- Players hit by Web Wrap may be knocked out of range, be prepared to heal them as-needed.
- Make sure the tanks are near full health and have any available heal over time effects active on them before Web Spray.
- Druids should also use Abolish Poison to keep Necrotic Poison (dispel, poison) under control.
Debuffs to Track
- Major: Web Wrap, Necrotic Poison (dispel, poison)
