This boss is available since January 5, 2010.

Abilites

• Mutated Infection — The Mutated Infection inflicts 3,900 to 4,100 damage every second and reduces healing receieved by 50% for 12 seconds. After the Infection is removed a small ooze is created at the target's location.
• Ooze Flood — The Ooze Flood inflicts 5,363 to 5,637 damage every second and reduces move speed by 25% for 5 seconds.
• Slime Spray — Raining Green Ooze. Deals 5,363 to 5,637 Nature to enemies in cone every second for 5 seconds.

Little Ooze

An ooze spawns when Mutated Infection is removed from a player (either by being dispelled or expiring). These merge and will eventually explode.

• Sticky Ooze — The Green Goo inflicts 2,925 to 3,075 damage every second and reduces move speed by 50%.
• Weak Radiating Ooze — The Radiating Ooze inflicts 3,413 to 3,587 damage to enemies within 10 yards every 2 seconds, it will also cause the Little Ooze to merge with other nearby Ooze.

Big Ooze

These spawn when Little Ooze merges with another.

• Radiating Ooze — The Radiating Ooze inflicts 4,388 to 4,612 damage to enemies within 10 yards every 2 seconds, it will also cause the Big Ooze to merge with other nearby Ooze.
• Sticky Ooze — The Green Goo inflicts 2,925 to 3,075 damage every second and reduces move speed by 50%.
• Unstable Ooze — Increases damage dealt by 20%. Stacks to 10. Applied each time an ooze merges with Big Ooze.
• Unstable Ooze Explosion — Inflicts 9,750 to 10,250 damage to enemies within 6 yards. This is caused by the Big Ooze merging with other oozes 5 times.

Strategy (10 man)

Rotface's encounter is a fight which requires a high degree of situational awareness from all raiders as well as careful kiting by a designated raid member. The encounter remains the same throughout, except that Mutated Infection will occur faster and faster as the fight progresses, therefore setting a soft enrage on the fight. A single tank is assigned to tank Rotface, while an offtank or highly mobile DPS should be assigned to kite the slimes (an experienced PvP mage especially has the potential to be a powerful kiter). Rotface should be tanked in the center of the room when the encounter begins. Ten seconds into the fight, the first Mutated Infection should land on a raid member. Soon after that, ooze will randomly flood one quarter of the raid area outside the center circle. Because ooze flooding as well as slime patches left behind by oozes severely restrict the availability of space for movement, it is imperative for raiders to remain well aware of the approximate location of safe zones as well as the location of the kiter.

When Mutated Infection expires or is dispelled, a Little Ooze is spawned at the position of the infected person. This ooze is untauntable and begins with 500k aggro upon the person it was disinfected from, therefore the kiter cannot pick up the ooze short of an ability that completely resets the threat table. The disinfected raider must kite the ooze with the assistance of snares until a second ooze has been cleansed. Bringing both oozes together causes the ooze to combine into a Big Ooze, which cannot be snared but only moves at half speed. The new Big Ooze begins without any aggro, so the designated kiter can easily pick up this ooze. The ooze has a short-ranged aura that inflicts damage to enemies in its proximity and melees hard, so it cannot reasonably be tanked for a long period of time. As more additional oozes spawn and are joined to the existing Big Ooze, the ooze will deal heavier damage and become larger and darker. After five stacks of Unstable Ooze, Rotface will emote and the Ooze will explode after a four second delay, dealing heavy damage to anyone within six yards. Furthermore, the ooze will also shoot small globules of slime at random raiders when it explodes, so it is a good idea for everyone to stay in motion after an Unstable Ooze Explosion. The entire cycle then repeats.

The easiest way to join oozes together is to have the infected person run ahead of the path of the Big Ooze and receive a cleanse, then snare the Little Ooze in place while the Big Ooze catches up. Although oozes will pursue their aggro targets, they also exert a "magnetic" influence on each other if they are less than 10 yards apart.

Oozes periodically launch puddles of slime at random raiders, further restricting the amount of room available to the raid. Unless oozes are skillfully kited and detonated, eventually the lack of room will lead to a raid wipe.

Lastly, Rotface uses Slime Spray, which is a cone AoE that all raiders must be aware of. He will turn in a random direction (this ability is not targeted on specific players) and spray slime, and all raiders must move behind him. It is recommended that ranged DPS stand close to Rotface for easier dodging of this ability. Slime spray has a long range, so it can hit a Mutated Infection victim while they are dealing with their Ooze, in which case they will need quick healing to keep them alive.
