## Summary

This guide covers the Rotmire fight in Sporefall on Normal and Heroic difficulty, focusing on managing mushrooms and adds. Key mechanics include Putrid Fist, Bursting Pustules, Festering Vines, and Awaken Fungi. The fight requires careful kiting and group coordination.

### Key Points

- **Putrid Fist** [0:12] — Knocks the tank in the air and stacks a debuff. Tank swap after each or keep boss until it hurts.
- **Bursting Pustules** [0:21] — Big raid damage, use healer cooldown.
- **Festering Vines** [0:26] — Targets players with rings that drop vine patches. Run rings out of group and drop vines near edges.
- **Awaken Fungi** [0:36] — Spawns adds (Shroomlings) that fixate on players. Kite them together into a tight pile for faster killing.
- **Fungal Bloom** [1:00] — Heals remaining adds and spawns Bursting Mushrooms on add corpses. Kill mushrooms quickly before they cast.
- **Heroic Sporecaps** [1:28] — New adds that don't move. Spawn with purple circle. Kite adds on top of Sporecap or split raid for burst phase.

### Conclusion

Master the add kiting and mushroom management to succeed in Rotmire. On Heroic, adapt to Sporecaps by grouping adds strategically.

## Transcript

Hi! I’m Hazel, and this is a 
guide to the Rotmire fight in  
Sporefall on Normal and Heroic difficulty. This is  
a straightforward fight that’ll have 
you managing many mushrooms in 12.0.7.
Putrid Fist knocks his tank in the air 
and stacks up a debuff.. You could tank  
swap after each one, or you could just 
keep the boss until it starts to hurt.
Bursting Pustules does big Raid Damage, that’s 
a nice spot for a little healer cooldown.
Festering Vines targets a few players 
with rings who then drop vine patches.  
Run those rings out of the group 
and drop your vines near the edges.
Awaken Fungi Spawns adds. Watch your feet as they 
come out. The Shroomlings will fixate people,  
and it’s very important that you kite them 
all together into a nice tight pile. It’ll  
make them faster to kill, and it’ll save a you a 
big headache later. Don’t be too afraid of getting  
punched by your add- they don’t hurt that bad 
and it’s really key that the adds die grouped up.
After two waves of adds, the boss does Fungal 
Bloom. That’ll heal any remaining adds,  
so hopefully they’ve died already. It’ll also 
spawn Bursting Mushrooms on the corpse of each  
add. Those mushrooms need to be killed quickly 
before they finish their Bursting Cast. Beating  
that timer is drastically easier if all the fixate 
adds earlier were kited onto one nice little spot.  
You can mark a stack point if you like and make 
sure everyone brings their adds there to die.
On Normal, that’s it. On Heroic, we get a new 
type of add called Sporecaps. They spawn at  
the same time as the fixate guys and they’re kind 
of annoying because they won’t move. You can see  
where they’re spawning by this purple circle. They 
do plenty of damage while they’re up, but the real  
issue is that when it comes time to race down the 
bursting mushrooms, the Sporecap ones will be in  
kind of awkward spots. You can either do what we 
did here, which is kite all adds on top of the  
sporecap that spawned with them and then split the 
raid in two for the burst phase where you’ll have  
two patches of bursting mushrooms. Or, if you 
wanted one big pile and a lone second mushroom,  
use the first Sporecap as your stack point for 
both rounds of fixates, and then send ranged  
to kill the solo mushroom that spawned on the 
second Sporecap. Either way should work fine.
And that’s Rotmire! Thanks for watching,  
have fun in Sporefall and have 
a wonderful, wonderful day. Bye!
