Strategy Guide

FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • This fight has 2 phases.

  • During phase 1 you can't damage Lady Deathwhisper's life, instead, the damage dealt will drain her mana. She also cannot move during this phase.

  • In 10 man, the side of the room where adds spawn alternates. In 25 man they spawn from both sides, and one random mob from the stairs.

  • Phase 2 starts when all her mana is drained. The boss can now be moved around the room.

Phase 1

During Phase 1, the boss cannot move and adds will spawn from the sides of the room.


A common strategy is to stand behind the boss and use the healers' natural threat to make the adds come to your raid.


Tanks will have to take aggro on the adds and position them near the boss to cleave them down.
