A good way to kill The Butcher is to use your DPS skills. You can do this by using the ‘Cleave’ mechanic. This mechanic is a great way to get a large group of targets killed in a short amount of time. The Butcher will knock everyone back and then use Gushing Wounds to apply damage to large groups. If your group is larger than the butcher’s melee range, you can move back and DPS from there.

Mythic mode
In World of Warcraft the Butcher encounter, Mythic mode is a brutal gear check for raids. The difference between the heroic and Mythic versions is the increased health of the boss, and one new mechanic that makes gearing up a little bit more difficult. This is not a problem for a serious mythic guild, though. Those in the raid who have realistic gear levels should be able to clear the encounter with no problems.
The Butcher’s ability “Tenderizer” deals high Physical damage to all players in melee range. This debuff increases tank damage by 50% and causes the boss to deal more damage. This ability requires a tank to switch from another character. The Butcher’s primary attack is Cleave, which targets the largest clump of players within melee range. It deals massive physical damage and debuffs the target, as well as slowing down other players.
Three tank mechanics
When a raid tank is tasked with killing The Butcher, he must stand no more than five yards away from the target. He will also charge players and walk back to them, so the tank must have a perfect position to be able to avoid getting hit by Cleave and Tenderizer. The Butcher will also walk back to the tanks after the Bounding Cleave.
There are three main mechanics in World of Warcraft The Butchered: Cleaver, Tenderizer, and Heavy Handed. Cleaver applies a DoT on the target, which stacks and increases damage. The tank should be able to avoid Cleaver while on avoidance cooldowns. Tenderizer is a single-target nuke with a stacking debuff that increases damage. The tank should swap when Tenderizer reaches two stacks, as it will increase damage. It is important to keep your cooldown ready at this point to protect the tank from Cleaver.
Gushing Wounds damage
While it’s difficult to ignore The Butcher’s damage output when facing a group, you can help him debuff your characters with a few tactics. The first strategy is to stay away from groups with large numbers of ranged players. The Butcher will charge a group of ranged players and then use a Cleave, which does minimal damage. To avoid stacking Gushing Wounds damage, it’s important to heal your players immediately after applying it.
To properly use the Gushing Wounds damage buff, you must carefully plan your group rotations. You can use the buff up to 4 times before dying. This allows your group to keep the enemy tank away while you apply a second attack. This is a good strategy if you’re planning to kill The Butcher. However, it’s also important to know how to time your group rotations. For example, if you are in Group B, your 5th stack of Gushing Wounds will be applied to the player in Group B.
Positioning Cadavers
One of the first things you should do as the Butcher is to change positions. He’ll attack groups every five seconds, so you need to position yourself accordingly. To position yourself effectively, the clump of players in melee range should be large enough for the Butcher to hit. Then, move into a position where you can kill The Butcher with Gushing Wounds, an effect that deals massive damage to the affected players.
When you spawn as a Butcher, you should stand in the middle of the group, so you’re within melee range. You’ll want to be within five yards of each other. It’s also helpful to position yourself so you’re not interfering with group positioning. You’ll want to stand between two tanks in close proximity. This is because the Butcher will often move back to them when they charge them.
