Icecrown Citadel 10m: Heroic Rotface - Overview

The Heroic Rotface fight can seem a bit chaotic at times but is pretty simple and in my opinion, one of the easier Heroic modes. In this guide I will only cover what is important to Heroic mode and anything else you should honestly know. Depending on the class, gear, and players' abilities you'll want 2-3 healers, 2 tanks, and the rest dps. As for the positioning, have the range, including all healers, stand spread out around the boss leaving around 10 yards between each other.
- The biggest differences between normal and heroic are Rotface has increased health, hits harder, Oozes are more deadly, and Professor Putricide casts Vile Gas on random players from the balcony.
- For heroic mode, you'll want to keep the same basic strategy and have any raider infected with Mutated Infection run immediately to the Ooze the off-tank is kiting and be dispelled. Unlike like normal, dispels need to be done a bit earlier since the Mutated Infection now does more damage and reduces healing by 75%.
- During the encounter, Professor Putricide will be casting Vile Gas on random players. Everyone in range should be spread out atleast 8-10 yards and away from melee.
- At around 20~30%, pop Bloodlust or Heroism and nuke down Rotface. You could also choose to do this early on if your group is prone to losing a few mid-way through.
