==Strategy==
===Flamethrower===
An important mechanic throughout the fight is the two people who use the flamethrowers to burn away the . If any fungal creature stands in Creeping Moss it receives healing, so keep the boss and adds out of it.
Once you have picked up the flamethrower you gain a heat gauge and an ExtraActionButton1 which toggles the flamethrower. If you leave the flamethrower on long enough to max out the heat gauge it overheats and becomes unusable for 10 seconds. Never ever allow this to happen. The flames from the flamethrower are emitted in the direction of the player's movement, so "strafing" does not have the effect you would hope. Just imagine you're mowing a lawn.
Using the flamethrower gives the player stacks which increase critical strike chance, multistrike chance, and haste. The buff stack erodes by one each 3 seconds.
Current strategy is to let a character with improved speed (like a cat-form druid) wield the flamethrower. Burn away the Creeping Moss until your heat gauge exceeds 3/4, then deactivate the flamethrower. Switch back to DPSing the boss or adds (aided by your Burning Infusion stacks) until your heat is down to 1/10 and find another strip of Creeping Moss to burn away till your heat gets high. The realities of the battle will probably force you to use your flamethrower at other times.
