Gear Check

A Gear Check is an encounter designed to be winnable via numbers: the sturdiness of the raid's tanks, the damage per second produced by the raid's damage dealers, and the ability of the healers to sustain the raid. A boss in such an encounter has few to no gimmicks but a middle-of-the-road (or sometimes aggressive) Doomsday Clock.

Examples

• Naxxramas
  • Patchwerk is the archetypical gear check.
