Overview Loatheb is a DPS race, where the raid takes progressively more damage the longer the fight takes, eventually reaching an unhealable point. Soon after the beginning of the fight, Loatheb will start using his 2 main abilities - Necrotic Aura and Summon Spore. Necrotic Aura will create a 17/3-second cycles: 17 seconds when all healing is reduced by 100%, and 3 seconds when healing is allowed. It is important for healers to be able to cast as many heals as possible in these 3 seconds. Watching the time left until the Aura fades, and starting a long cast a little before it goes off will usually allows healers to fit an extra heal in. The other spell, Summon Spore is essential for winning the race. Spores will spawn throughout the room, and attack whoever is highest on threat - usually the healers. Their melee damage is insignificant even for a cloth-user, and they have ~3,000 hit points. Killing a spore will grant the 5 nearest players a +50% critical strike buff, and will reduce their threat output to 0, so establishing a rotation is important. The buff lasts for 90 seconds, so 2 full groups of 5 people can keep their buff up during all of the fight.Abilities Necrotic Aura - Soon after the group engages Loatheb, he will enter a 20-second cycle of Necrotic Aura. The aura will block all healing for 17 seconds, and then allow healing for 3 seconds. The cycle repeats until Loatheb is dead. A raid warning "The power of Necrotic Aura begins to wane" appears 3 seconds before the Aura goes off. Another raid warning will announce its return.Summon Spore - Every ~30 seconds, Loatheb will summon a Spore somewhere in the room. Killing the spore will buff the 5 closest people in ~10 yd range with Fungal Creep , which increases critical strike chance by 50%, and reduces all threat by 100%, for 90 seconds. Fungal Creep doesn't stack.Deathbloom - Loatheb will cast Deathbloom on random party member every 30 seconds. The debuff will tick for 200 (25 Player : 720 ) Nature damage every 1 seconds, for 6 seconds. In addition, after 6 seconds it will "bloom", causing additional 1,200 (25 Player : 1,500 ) damage.Inevitable Doom - 2 minutes within the encounter, Loatheb will start casting Inevitable Doom, rarely in the beginning, and more frequently as the fight goes on. This spell inflicts 4,000 (25 Player : 5,000 ) Shadow damage to all players in the room after 10 seconds. 7 minutes within the fight Loatheb will "enrage", casting Doom every 15 seconds.
