The trick is to not kill the spores, this means you will not gain the Fungal Creep debuff.
Loatheb Abilities
- Deathbloom is cast every 30 seconds on the entire raid. Deathbloom does 200 damage a second for six seconds followed by an end tick of 1,200 damage, this is not dispellable.
- Fungal Creep is a debuff raid member get for killing spores which are spawned every 30 seconds. Five people with in ten yards receive a buff increasing critical chance by 50% and causing no threat for 90 seconds.
- Inevitable Doom will be cast 2 minutes after combat. It will inflict 4,000 damage after 10 seconds to everyone with in 100 yards. This can not be dispelled.
- Necrotic Aura is cast every 20 seconds, reducing all healing done by 100%, this lasts 17 seconds.
Loatheb Strategy
- This is a tank and spank fight.
- It is very important that the raid is split into groups, allowing everyone to keep up the Fungal Creep buff.
- Necrotic Aura is a pain, but only causes heals cast while it is up to have the 100% reduced healing. You can stack HoTs or cast right before the aura is dropped and still receive the full heal.
- Any damage reducing spells or abilities will help keep the tank up.
- Raid members should use any healing abilities, or bandages when the aura drops, giving healers enough time to help others.
