Loatheb, Healer Guide

Updated 5 months, 1 week ago for patch 3.4.1 by Preston. View the change log.

Loatheb Dungeon Journal ModelThis page covers a healer-focused strategy for Loatheb in Naxxramas in Wrath of the Lich King. 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.



Loatheb ModelGeneral Mechanics and Abilities

  • Every 20-seconds, applies Necrotic Aura to all players, making them unable to be healed.
    • This effect lasts for 17-seconds, meaning there will be 3-second windows during which players can be healed in between.
  • Every 30-seconds, applies Deathbloom (Deathbloom on 10-Player) to all players, dealing light damage over time and moderate damage when the effect expires.
  • Beginning 90-seconds (120-seconds on 10-Player) after the encounter starts, applies Inevitable Doom (Inevitable Doom on 10-Player) to all players every 30-seconds, dealing moderate damage when the effect expires.
    • Beginning 5-minutes after the encounter starts, the frequency increases to every 15-seconds.
  • Every 20-seconds, a Spore spawns randomly in the room.
    • Spore
      • Upon death, up to five players within 10-yards gain Fungal Bloom, greatly increasing Critical Strike chance and causing no threat to be generated.
