Maexxna, Healer Guide
Updated 7 months, 2 weeks ago for patch 3.4.1 by Preston. View the change log.
This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Maexxna 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.
General Mechanics and Abilities
- Don't stand in front to avoid Poison Shock.
- Dispel Necrotic Poison (Necrotic Poison on 10-Player) (poison) quickly to remove the reduced healing received effect.
- Targets two random players (one on 10-player) with Web Wrap (Web Wrap on 10-Player), 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 (Web Spray on 10-Player).
- Every 40-seconds, ~10-seconds before each Web Spray (Web Spray on 10-Player), spawns about ten Maexnna Spiderlings, which attempt to attack random players.
- At 30% health, goes into a Frenzy, gaining greatly increased Attack Speed and Physical damage dealt.
