Ready Check: Lady Deathwhisper

My guild is prefabricated up of long-time gamers, including folks who've been roleplaying for dang near digit decades. And modify though we aforementioned to style ourselves "hardcore raiders," we every hit to admit that we hit those characterization inclinations from instance to time. We aforementioned our immersion. We aforementioned our stories. So when we came crossways Lady Deathwhisper, we had to attain a news up for ourselves.

As the news goes, we met and defeated Kel'Thuzad backwards in Naxxramas. But, Arthas wasn't quite ended with his trusty lieutenant yet, and upraised him (again) from the dead. But something went horribly, horribly wrong. nobleman Kel'Thuzad returned from the demise as Lady Deathwhisper! Naxxramas was exclusive a setback, but it was digit heck of a setback!

While this lowercase news of ours has no actual foundation in actual game lore, the comparability between the digit characters is departed appropriate. Both politico fights refer onerous illusion damage, adds that outflow from the walls to indorse the boss, and more than a lowercase coordination. I actually conceive Leady Deathwhisper is the most arduous fisticuffs of the prototypal aerofoil of Icecrown Citadel, which makes her a decent comparability to Kel'Thuzad.

Let's verify a countenance behind the move and move breaking downbound the fight.

Lady Deathwhisper is a two-phase fight. When you move her in her vest room, you'll directly state that she is standing on a stage. She's surrounded by a bounteous mana shield. In order to intend to her, you hit to beat downbound that mana shield. When you intend every the artefact through the shield, she directly becomes ambulatory and starts to fisticuffs you.

Of course, you don't intend to remain untroubled when you're disagreeable to assail her castle. As you alteration downbound the mana shields, adds module be summoned on apiece lateral of the room. They requirement tanked and killed in rattling limited ways, or added the adds module swam and destroy your raid.

When the armour goes down, your whole assail gets to go bananas DPSing the boss. Lady Deathwhisper has a pair tricks, though, modify in this ordinal phase. First, you'll hit to dodge these clear ghosts. If they touch their target, the ghosts module burst (for what feels aforementioned a bajillion damage). Second, she'll be sportfishing spells the completeness of the ordinal phase. (Who would hit thought a lich casts spells, right?) The volley raid-damaging spells aren't likewise bounteous a deal, but the azygos direct Frostbolts are definitely cell killers. Those module hit to be interrupted.

With that hurried summary discover of the way, let's move breaking downbound Lady Deathwhisper's individualist abilities.

Lady Deathwhisper - Phase 1

• Mana Barrier - Absorbs every alteration finished to Lady Deathwhisper, debilitating her mana instead. This is the key knowledge to form one. Once you've destroyed the Mana Barrier, you go into form two.
• Shadow Bolt - Inflicts Shadow alteration to the underway target.
• Death and Decay - Inflicts Shadow alteration every 1 ordinal to enemies within the Atlantic of the spell. The speech lasts 10 seconds. You crapper verify it by a foaming naif Atlantic on the ground.
• Dominate Mind - Mind Controls 1 player, crescendo their alteration by 200% and sanative by 500%. Lasts 12 seconds. (This is added call backwards to old Kel'Thuzad.) This gist exclusive occurs in 25 man.
• Dark Empowerment - Empowers a haphazard Adherent or Fanatic, feat them to care Atlantic alteration with spells. Also makes the direct insusceptible to interrupts.

Lady Deathwhisper - Phase 2
Many of the abilities are the aforementioned as in Phase 1, but intend turned up a notch.

• Frostbolt - Inflicts Frost alteration to the underway target. Can be interrupted. This speech is a cell killer, and should departed be interrupted.
• Death and Decay - Inflicts Shadow alteration every 1 ordinal to enemies within the Atlantic of the spell. The whole speech lasts 10 seconds. Again, this is the foaming naif colouration on the ground. This is fire that you shouldn't defence in.
• Dominate Mind - Mind Controls 3 players, crescendo their alteration by 200% and sanative by 500%. Lasts 12 seconds. The gist is the aforementioned as in form one, eliminate today it crapper clutch up to threesome players. It's prizewinning to gathering curb them, so that you don't lose allies by ending them.
• Touch of Insignificance - Reduces the target's danger generation by 20% per application. Stacks up to 5 times. This is the bounteous manoeuvre of the ordinal phase, which we'll appendage in depth later. Suffice it to feature that the Touch of Insignificance insures you'll requirement digit tanks.
• Summon Vengeful Shade - Summons a Vengeful Shade from the embody of a departed Adherent or Fanatic. There are angry angry ghosts! If they catch up to their target, they burst in a Vengeful Blast!

Summary
Phase digit of the Lady Deathwhisper fisticuffs is a training in add management, and your raid's knowledge to number which identify of DPS attacks which category of add. There are digit kinds of adds, who module spawn in separate sides of the room. You hit Adherents and Fanatics. Burn them downbound and expiration them up, as a generalized rule. In and of themselves, they don't hit whatever hitpoints, and they'll expire pretty quickly.

However, Lady Deatwhisper has inherited the knowledge to raise the Adherents and Fanatics from the dead. When that happens, they acquire status to either illusion or fleshly damage. While it's technically 99% resistance, I conceive it's easiest exclusive to feature "Pull out, Wedge! There's no good you crapper do backwards there!" There's rattling not such alteration you're going to do them if you're disagreeable to alteration the criminal type. Essentially, when the adds are alive from the dead, fleshly cannot effectively alteration the Fanatics, and illusion crapper not alteration the Adherents. So your fleshly alteration should be offensive the Adherants, and speech alteration should be offensive the Fanatics. You'll especially want to kite the Deformed Fanatics, since they'll burst when they die.

If you crapper equilibrise the alteration to the digit types of adds, and ease ready alteration on Lady Deathwhisper's mana shield, you'll be doing great. Keep blowing up that armour until you start Phase Two.

Phase digit is broad paced, but a lowercase easier to coordinate. First, attain sure that you ready your interrupts handy, and belt downbound that Frostbolt. Don't let her intend it off. While most tanks in equal gear levels could live through it, they'd requirement to be full lidded soured in health and ready to verify the blow. And whatever another alteration would pretty apace blackball them.

The nous curb supply is a actual one, especially if it snags your healers. However, if you're rocking a fisticuffs against Lady Deathwhisper, you should already be old with this impulsive from Kel'Thuzad. If someone gets nous controlled, do not blackball them. Use whatever form of gathering curb to ready the slave mortal from wrecking your raid. The gist exclusive lasts 12 seconds, so you should be healthy to appendage it.

Lastly, Vengeful Shades module continually spawn from the departed bodies of the Adherents and the Fanatics. Simply run away from them. It might support to hit a assail spotter ready an receptor discover for the ghosts, and yell discover warning when they intend near someone.

This fisticuffs module see intimidating, but it's a coordination check. Once you intend the dance steps down, you shouldn't hit such trouble. Good hunting!
