Ready Check is a weekly column power leveling focusing on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, ZA or Sunwell Plateau, everyone can get in on the action and down some bosses. This week we're on our way to the last two bosses of Naxxramas -- but not without a stop at the ultimate boss of the Construct Quarter.

If you didn't get to see Naxxramas at 60 but did the first boss of the Mechanar in Burning Crusade, you're already familiar with the major "trick" to the Thaddius fight. Actually, you can make a pretty compelling case that Thaddius is easier than Mechano-Lord Capacitus, mostly because the platform on which Thaddius is power leveling situated is ideally configured for the encounter. Mechano-Lord was usually a mess of planning beforehand about where you'd go if you were melee and your charge was different from the tank's, etc. That's not a problem here. But before you get to Thaddius -- who, by the way, is the source of most of the eerie cries you'll hear in this quarter -- you have to deal with a few mobs along the way.

Unlike Grobbulus-to-Gluth, there is some trash between Gluth and Thaddius in the form of two flesh giants (who can be pulled one at a time) and (usually) a Shade. The Flesh Giants have a fairly nasty Thunder Clap-like ability that's also an AoE knockback, so you're best off pulling them back to Gluth's room and keeping them tanked well out of range of the potential Shade.

When you enter Thaddius' room, you'll note that it's impossible to get to Thaddius himself without jumping down from two platforms, one on either side of the entrance. On each power leveling platform is mob: Stalagg to the right, and Feugen to the left. They have to be tanked where they're standing; if they drift too far from the Tesla coils to which they're tethered, the coils will overload and wipe the raid with Chain Lightning.
