IceCrown Citadel guide - The Plagueworks
The Plagueworks is an area inside the west side of Icecrown Citadel it is an area connected to the rest of the instance by the Spire surrounding the Frozen Throne in the middle level of the zone. The second wing in Icecrown Citadel is made up of the lab and experimentation area of Professor Putricide called the Plagueworks. While he is the last boss in the area you must defeat two of his hideous creations before you can reach him. The creations are called Festergut and Rotface and are both fairly complicated fights .
Festergut
Festergut is the first boss in the Plagueworks and is an undead abomination found in a gas filled room. The gas plays an important part in the fight as anyone in the room suffers shadow damage the entire time that is caused by the gas. The damage starts off quite high and must be healed through. However, throughout the fight Festergut will inhale portions of the gas. Each time he becomes more powerful and by the third inhale he will be doing much more damage to the tank, potentially causing healing issues. At the same time the damage caused to the rest of the raid will have dropped significantly.
While this is going on players must watch for the targets of Gas Spore. This will be directed at random players in the raid and start a 12 second debuff. Once that 12 seconds runs out the spore will explode dealing light shadow damage to everyone nearby and granting a 25% resistance boost to further blights. This resistance can be stacked up to three times. When a player is targeted with a gas spore they should either let other players know in chat, vent, or by pinging the mini-map, whichever way your guild chooses to handle it.
Once Festergut inhales the fourth time, he will let out an attack called the Pungent Blight, which deals huge shadow damage to everyone in the room. The only way for players to survive this is to have gained enough stacks of the resistance buff by being close to players that have the gas spore. For most players this will mean having the full three stacks each time he is ready to inhale for the fourth time. Once the Pungent Blight attack has been done, the room fills completely with the poison gas again, essentially resetting the fight to the beginning.
Also in the room are several areas of Vile Gas, which cause significant damage to a player. These need to be avoided while moving through the room, however when the room is full of gas it is hard to spot them until it is too late.
Lastly, Festergut will enrage and wipe the raid after 5 minutes, so even if you can survive the ongoing damage, you still need to push DPS to down him in time. The fight also requires a second tank due to a debuff that Festergut places on the tank. The debuff stacks up to 10 stacks and inflicts roughly 10,000 damage each time it is applied. In addition each stack on the tank increases the damage that it does by 10%. If it ever reaches 10 stacks it will kill the tank instantly. The debuff lasts just under two minutes.
