Anub'Rekhan

Grand Widow Faerlina

Key mechanics: Web Wrap (random player suspended on ceiling — DPS must free them), Venom Spray (cone — stay behind boss), Carrion Beetles from mob corpses.

Maexxna

Key mechanics: Web Spray (AoE web at 40 yards), Spiderlings (8 adds every 30s), Poison Bolt Volley.

Tactic: Tank kites Maexxna through the room (clears web). Paladin cleanses poison constantly. AoE DPS kills Spiderlings immediately. Healers stay at max range.
