Maexxna

Tank and Spank with lots of adds, sleeps, and aoe. 2 Dps needed to take down the webbings from web wrap.

ABILITIES

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.

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 90% for 30 seconds. This needs to be cleansed immediately, preferably with a shaman totem. 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%.

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.

Strategy: Before the encounter begins have your raid move into the lair to the southwest side (left for the directionally challenged). In front of you will be the boss and a rectangular column poking through the web. Your tank will engage Maexxna at the protruding column while your ranged DPS and healers set up to the west. If you have a mage it is beneficial to have them down with the melee to Frost Nova the spiders when they are summoned and then AOE them down. When someone is in Web Wrap they will be flung to one of two spots on the western wall. Designate two ranged DPS to destroy the webbing in case one of them gets wrapped. Once Maexxna is down to 33% health, stop DPS and wait for a Web Spray. After that is done, blow all your cooldowns and enjoy the DPS race. Healers must keep the Main Tank at full health and use HoTs in case your DPS is unable to bring down the boss. A good tip for warrior tanks is to use Shield block every Web Spray, the cooldowns line up well and it really helps the healers.
