- Overview - Periodically, Waste Disposal Units around the room will activate, dumping waste into the room and leaving behind Corruption Corpuscles. Players must kill these before they release Enticing Essence, or Fetid Devourer will move to them and Consume Corruption, healing and gaining energy. At 50% health, Fetid Devourer will enter into a Fetid Frenzy.
- Tanks -
- The primary tank on Fetid Devourer will take more consistent - but overall higher - damage.
- The second tank should stand near the primary tank to be hit by Terrible Thrash, and be prepared for large spikes of damage when it hits.
- Be prepared for the damage increase due to Fetid Frezy!
- Healers -
- Terrible Thrash deals very high damage.
- After players are afflicted with Malodorous Miasma, they will develop Putrid Paroxysm, which inflicts high damage and requires focused healing.
- Be prepared for the damage increase due to Fetid Frezy!
- Damage Dealers -
- Kill Corruption Corpuscles before they finish releasing Enticing Essence.
- When Chimaera nears 100 energy, prepare to avoid Rotting Regurgitation!
- Tanks -
- Thrashing Terror - Every fourth attack, Fetid Devourer will use Thrash on the closest player to the current tank.
- Terrible Thrash - Thrashes the target, inflicting 300% of a standard melee attack to them.
- Rotting Regurgitation - When Fetid Devourer reaches 100 Energy, he unleashes a Rotting Regurgitation, inflicting 52 Nature damage, knocking back and applying Maldorous Miasma to targets in a cone in front of him.
- Shockwave Stomp - Inflicts 25 Physical damage to all players and knocks them back.
- Malodorous Miasma - The foul stench of the area sickens players, inflicting 11 Nature damage to afflicted players every 2 sec. for 18 sec. This effect stacks.
When this effect expires, it mutates into Putrid Paroxysm on the affected player.- Putrid Paroxysm - Inflicts 29 Nature damage every 2 sec. for 6 sec. This effect stacks.
If a player with Putrid Paroxysm would be afflicted with Malodorous Miasma, they instead gain a stack of Putrid Paroxysm.

On Mythic Difficulty, one of the Trash Chutes will activate early, creating a Mutated Mass - a larger Corruption Corpuscle that casts Enticing Essence more slowly. Standing inside the stream of waste from a Waste Disposal Unit or being hit by Rotting Regurgitation will also apply Malodorous Miasma.

Yes. The relative amount of damage done by auto-attacks has gone down over the years, and in the Battle For Azeroth Beta, we’re bringing it closer to where it has been historically. https://t.co/ROvLaN2kJi (WarcraftDevs)
Hey Ion, On the Beta there is currently no weekly lockout for mythic dungeons. Is that going to be the case on launch day of BfA as well?
Nope, just for ease of testing. (WatcherDev)
Will world quests return in BFA? I must be that one weirdo that loves them, passed the 10,000 achievement a LONG time ago
Yes, many, many more world quests have been added (Muffinus)
are the pvp vendors coming back with bfa? RNG reward system in pvp is no fun
We're cutting out the vendor as middle-man, but you'll be able to directly earn a fixed series of awards and reliably assemble a good set of gear by getting Conquest points through rated play. (WatcherDev)
Do my eyes deceive me or are Hunters getting Toad pets?! Been wanting to tame those guys since Timeless Isle. Thank you!
Ok, cat's out of the bag. And it's a toad. You are. Congrats that guy that kept tweeting me about frogs. Baby steps my friend. Croak croak. (Muffinus)
