I'm working my way through the naxx instance and updating https://github.com/jellemeeus/mod-progression-system-naxx25-60/tree/naxx

I'll share changes soon since it's similar files

[sogladev]

I went through Naxx (Plague, Military, Plague Quarter) and aimed to reduce the damage of the wrath spells. I did fixes to pathing of Patchwork/Bony Constructs plus some others that I encountered. There should be minimal amount of custom spells, just for a summoning. Feugen casts an AoE mana burn, the visual is missing. Some others like Razuvious likely need a client patch to do the Disrupting Shout mechanic properly.

I'm continuing with spider/frost next

I don't know how you want to go about reviewing this? it's a bit much too untangle for seperate PRs

[ZhengPeiRu21]

Thanks again for your work. Having it in a single PR is fine. As much as possible, I'd like to avoid the requirement for a client patch, even if that means we're not able to reach 100% accuracy. I'd prefer to get as accurate as possible within the constraints of the WotLK client, even if it means having to make some small compromises (for example, in the Four Horsemen, the Mark of Mograine spell was replaced with the Mark of Rivendare, so it currently has the wrong name and visual.) Please let me know if you feel otherwise; I'm open to options.

[sogladev]

A first priority is to get the scaling/spells down to vanilla levels to make the raid more playable. I try to avoid a client side patch as well as it brings extra challenges. It's also a hassle to work with and from what I've seen, it can be done without just fine. As I went through I noted where a patch would be useful or even required to achieve the accurate feel of naxx40. To me, it is future work but it's important to note spells/mechanics to do any potential polishing later. As of now I don't feel it to be necessary

I updated the comment to show what fixes are included in this PR

Thank you once again for all of these fixes!
