  • Position

    Tank Maexxna where she stands, but flip here so her back is to the raid. She has a frontal cone posion so you don't want anyone else getting hit

  • Things to watch for

    You will get posioned (Necrotic Poison) and reduce healing effects by 75%. Be sure to cleanse to help your healers out.
    The entire raid will get web wrapped approx every 40seconds so be ready to pot/healthstone if things look bad.

  • What your healers will need to do

    Keep Necrotic Poison off and keep you topped off before Web Spray. Also need to heal whoever gets Web Wrapped while ranged dps breaks the wrap.

  • Summary

    Simple fight, just watch out for Web Wrap on healers! At 30% be ready to pop Divine Protection if needed.

  • Web Wrap

    Cast at the 20 second mark, and then every 40 seconds after that. Sends one player flying towards the webs on the Western side of the wall, encasing them in a cocoon and incapacitating them. This ability sends the player to the same place all the time, and therefore positioning the DPS where the cocoons will spawn makes for much easier destruction of the cocoon. When encased, 2475 to 3025 Nature damage is done every 2 seconds. The cocoon, which is called "Web Wrap" and has about 6,000 health, can be destroyed from the outside.

  • Web Spray

    Cast every 40 seconds incapacitating everyone in the room including the tank for 6 seconds, dealing 1750 to 2250 Nature damage. This ability cannot be resisted, and the only way to avoid it is to be dead, have Flask of Petrification, have Divine Intervention, or be already incapacitated by Web Wrap.

  • Poison Shock

    Inflicts 3500 to 4500 Nature damage in a 15 yard frontal cone in front of Maexxna every 10 seconds.

  • Necrotic Poison

    Reduces healing taken by 75% for 30 seconds. This needs to be cleansed immediately, Abolish Poison being the most effective way to remove it during the Web Spray. Applied to targets in melee range in front of Maexxna, generally the tank.

  • Frenzy

    At 30% health, Maexxna will go into a killing frenzy that cannot be removed. Increases physical damage by 50%, melee haste by 50% and size by 15%.

  • Maexxna Spiderlings

    8 Small spiders are spawned at the 30 second mark, and then every 40 seconds after that. These hit for about 1,000 on cloth and have about 7,300 HP.
