General question. My guild has been in Naxx 25 for months and repeatedly cleared Patchwerk.

The problem we are coming into is this. Our tanks are taking 20k hateful strikes. As such, they're getting slapped down in a matter of seconds.

Is this normal and we just never noticed before?

Is this a healer issue and we just need to stack our healers further than normal?

We're losing tanks at the beginning of the fight followed by the melee, followed by about us keeping up the MT with heals for about 30 seconds to 1 min.

Before 3.1 we were healing through this with 4-5 healers tops. What are people who are doing this and winning now running?

20k is quite LOW as for hateful strike, and yes he was always smashing like this.

I understand where you are coming from, I have over 39k raid buffed in 25 man Naxx, and we have downed Patchwerk on both 10 man and 25 man on multiple occasions. all of our Tanks have over 34k Health when raid buffed, and we are using 3 warrior Tanks to handle Patchwerk. but since Patch 3.1 we have not been able to do anything to him, I am MT and pull Patchwerk to our Tank stack. I pop shield wall right away as well as shield block, and trinkets, and even with HOT's on me he 1 shotted me with a 40k hit. Did Blizzard change Patchwerk in 3.1 at all? because it does seem like he is hitting harder.

Also, it seems like the embalming slimes are not resetting as they should after a wipe, they keep patrolling to the door and back to their room until everyone releases and leaves the instance, not allowing the use of Soulstones or any self rezzing spells.

We went into naxx 25 after the patch and wiped bigtime a few times before taking another wing. Before the patch it was a quite simple fight for our raid group.
Patch hit for 27k a second (or is it per 1.5 secs?) multiple times (average 20k) killing the OT in seconds. We tried again another night and went in with a 41k Druid OT and managed to kill him easily again but it was alot more healing intense with spam healing the whole round.
We all agreed that patchwerk is changed as of 3.1...

Yesterday (it was the second time tanking beeing one of the hateful tanks) I got one shotted during the last 5%. Unfortunately I was not at full health but still I ate a 35k hit. Even though it did not matter to the kill, I was quiet dejected.
