Plaguemaw the Rotting - the idol event boss of Razorfen Downs
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruPlaguemaw the Rotting - idol guardian and his rotting swarm
Plaguemaw the Rotting is a rotting undead boss tied to the key idol defence event. When a friendly NPC (Belnistrasz) begins to extinguish the quilboar idol, waves of undead rise around it and the group has to survive until the ritual completes.
Tactics
- Before the event, stack at the idol: AoE then hits every wave at once.
- Assign crowd control and AoE (Mage, Warlock, Warrior) - adds come in several waves.
- The healer saves mana for the long phase; drink mana potions early if needed.
- Cleanse disease and don't let adds slip past to the healer behind the group.
- On x5 the event can fail from lack of wave damage - come in with AoE ready.
Loot
| Item | Slot | For |
|---|---|---|
| Plaguerot Sprig | Wand | Casters |
| Ghoul Skin Tunic | Chest (leather) | Druid, Rogue |
| Coldrage Dagger | Dagger | Rogue, Mage |
Tips for WoW Classic x5
1. The idol event is tied to a quest - finish it for the XP and reward. 2. Keep mana potions ready: the long wave phase drains the healer and casters. 3. Stacking at the idol is half the battle - a scattered group can't keep up with the waves.
