Dispel it. This is your job all fight.

Nothing to dodge — just healing.
Spoiled Supplies
SoakSpawns green mushroom circles. They explode after 12 seconds if nobody stands in them.
Step in one each. Soaking applies stacking poison.
Earthshatter Slam
InterruptFrontal. The bone pile upgrades it to leave ground hazards.
Kick it, and stay out of the cone.
Holy Paladin lensImproved Cleanse earns its slot here. Rotten Spores stacks on multiple people at once, and the meat-empowered Bellow lands on top of it.
