icc heroic putricide ( 10 man tested ) made easy

[shoka1]

During the putricide encounter on heroic mode, the boss every 1 minute will cast http://www.wowhead.com/spell=72855. a damage over time dot that has to be passed on before a certain amount of time or the damage becomes un bearable to heal.

my guild first night of heroic putricide attempts was having trouble dealing with the DoT so what we decided to do was ( sence our group make up was lucky to have this ) let the person with the dot DiE and then battle rez them, ahnk or soul stone them. we had 3 druids, a warlock and 2 shamans. what we decided to do was if a shaman got it they would run out keeping healing / dpsing and then eventually let the debuff kill them. ahnk up and not have to worry about the debuff for another minute. we did the same for anyone who got the debuff. brez them / SS them.

how this helps is that your raid can focus on dpsing or healing the fight without having to worry about the debuff. it also removes the RNG factor of the fight that if some1 with the disease get targeted by the green ooze you dont have to let them die.

this strat only lasted us until phase 3 where we proceded to do the disease properly but phase 3 of herioc putricide is by far the easiest part

This sounds like an interesting idea. Heavily depends on the setup. If you are unlucky than you might lose 2 healers to the first 2 plagues. In this case Mana could surely be a problem. You have 3 Droods and maybe one of your shamans is a resto, then even this scenario might work. But if you only have 2 "b-rezzes" or no manatides or something like that than you won't be able to do this strategy. Or maybe you will have to hope that the plague hits a melee and let him die.

Have to think about this. Maybe I will give it a try next time Prof hero. Depends on the setup. If this works even for the first one or two plagues than I will +Rep you.

This is definitely a repost but I cannot find the original. Whether it was deleted for being too old or it was moved to the elite section of the forums; your guess is as good as mine. On a side note though, I can definitely confirm this as working (My guild uses it alot to gib the encounter if we have ankhs/rebirths up). Easiest way is have the person that you want to die go to the table or a wall a ways away from other people and have the person that gets the plague run to that person and pass it so they can die with it. +Rep for the contribution though.

Sounds like a honest waste, why not just have 10 people ready to swap each other over (aka do the normal tactic).
ANY decent raiding guild should be able to do this with 30% buff

Agreed. My main experience is with 25 heroic, you only need like 5-6 people set aside able to pass it until it expires. Ranged and healers keeping it, some classes (priest with dispersion, paladin bubble, etc) can hold it extra long in a pinch.

Your's is a nice thought, and maybe works under idea circumstances, but it's not for everyone, especially those groups learning the fight, Those brezzes could be clutch and save the day if something goes unexpectedly wrong.

Yea or u could like pass the plague to someone who isnt a healer and have them die, id have thought that to be common sense myself. P3 you let the plague kill
