You don't actually fight this boss. You will be fighting magi that are being controlled by the boss.

Periodically throughout the fight the boss will cast total obedience which will mind control a player. You need to interrupt the cast within 8 seconds. So make sure to assign someone to interrupt. The boss also randomly Mind Controls one player. To interrupt the mind control you must kill the strings attached to the player called Hand of Azshara. This along with interrupting her total obedience is your highest priority.

The 3 types of adds are Fire, Frost, and Arcane. There are 6 adds and you'll have to fight 2 at a time. They don't necessarily wait for the first 2 to die so if your slow at killing them you will start getting more.
Best strategy to follow is to just have everyone spread out minus your tank and melee dps and focus down 1 mage at a time. the fire mage does a targetted aoe with a 6 yard radius and can hurt if too many people are bunched up. the frost mage does a frost ability that fires infront of the mage in a line, just get out of it when it happens, he'll also randomly charge a player and hit anyone along the way (another reason to spread out). The arcane magus does a group wide aoe called arcane shock, it does a large amount of damage and can be interrupted so make sure anyone not assigned to interrupt total obedience is watching for it. This along with stuns will stop the aoe.

Edit: Stuns do work on the mages and i recommend applying all stuns to the arcane mage. ~~Not sure if there was a buff to this fight, but my last few times through this the arcane mage's arcane shock pretty much wiped my group if we didn't stun him when he started to spin.~~ So make sure the arcane mage dies first and if you have anyone that can stun have them stun him when he starts spinning.

Edit2: Just tried this fight again today to see if anything changed. The arcane shock has been changed to allow ~~interrupts~~ and unless i had an extremely good healer i believe the magus' damage was reduced.

Edit3: Now that 4.3 is on live servers the Arcane magus's arcane shock has been changed back to an uninterruptible spell. However, stuns do still work and i'd recommend saving any stuns for him. The damage from arcane shock is not nearly what it was at the beginning of PTR but not laughable like it was towards the end. It does a fair amount of damage and the arcane magus is still your number one priority when dpsing down the adds.

kill priority
Hand of Azshara > Arcane Magus > Frost Magus > Fire Magus.

It's good to see what she looked like as a night elf in game, even though not her naga look.

Comment by Lenience

Nice legs :)

Comment by 380481

Kill the Magus as they come but don't forget to kill the floating hands above characters and be mindful of the boss...

The fights rather chaotic. Everyone must be extremely attentive; another noob finder. :)

But kill the mages as they come at you, and kill the hands on top of the other characters and interrupt boss whenever she starts casting her MC.

So. Kill hands, mages and interrupt. Easy right?

Comment by Etain

Ok, guys, Total Obedience, (you know, the one thing Queen Azshara casts that you can interrupt?), is a 10 second cast. If you have an interrupt that will work on her, use it. I have had more unnecessary wipes on her than anywhere else today because some melee was too lazy to run their ass over and smack her around while our ranged had a hand over their head.

Comment by LesliePowow

I want her dress!

Comment by Enquillion

People would launch themselves onto impossible, suicidal quests for the slightest hint of a request from Azshara. She never took a husband or anything like it, never kissed anyone and certainly did nothing beyond it. At best she might have stroked Illidan. She yearned for Sargeras though.

The point is, you should feel oh so blessed to "receive hand" from her.

Comment by 802245

Arcane Torrent doesn't seem to be able to interrupt her Total Obedience. Or her hit box is extremely small. I was right next to her and have tried it twice, but I always needed a melee to come interrupt her instead.

Comment by Therulnig

LFD nightmare, wipes usually occur when the group tries to assign an interrupter for her cast. This usually leads to the other 4 people not even paying attention to her - Or the fact that the guy they assigned to interrupt it is being mind controlled.

Comment by matoh

CMIW but she seem to use an enhanced Night Elf model, with more pixel and polygon counts, which is unavailable to player

hopefully this kind of model improvement will be available to player character soon

Comment by snub999

I've done this boss with my mage and people seem surprised that I'm doing the interrupting. Counterspell does work on this boss.

There's no reason to downvote me. A ranged interrupt means more time on target for your melee. This is just to let people know that it works and to get mages who didn't even think to try it to do so. Contributing to making players better and I get a downvoted. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Comment by Shockbroker

When she casts Servant of the Queen, she seems to always go for me, and I've noticed it triggering my Windshear cooldown for some reason, leaving me unable to catch her casting Total Obedience in time. Anyone else notice this? Thanks for the 15 sec. cooldown on Windshear, Blizz...

Comment by Darkicon

Fun fight. I (An MM hunter) usually do the interrupting. Since I'm a Blood Elf and specced into I have 2 interrupts: and Arcane Torrent. I usually will stand close enough to her so Arcane Torrent will hit her and so that I won't need to turn in order to use Silencing Shot.

Note to hunters: will not interrupt Total Obedience.

Don't know if it's a coincidence or not but she seems to usually use Servant of the Queen on me.

Comment by wrenellessedil

You guys are 100% right, Total Obedience NEEDS to be interrupted....but...just to clarify, and I think this is actually causing more wipes than missing that interrupt, SERVANT OF THE QUEEN! The hands over the head things is NOT Total Obedience, it's Servant of the Queen and it can not be interrupted....the 'hands' have to be dps'd. We wiped 4 times in one fight cuz one of the dps killed me (the healer) and none of the other dps were really paying attention to it. Total Obedience is easy to stop, 10sec cast, no big, we got it every time but that spell affects everyone not just one dps, but that one dps with Servant of the Queen going after your healer is an instawipe.

Comment by 626980

There seems to be a bug with Azshara.

Her skin colour is wrong.

Comment by Yvelle

Marksmanship Hunters, here is a useful macro to use with Silencing Shot, with Queen Azshara or whenever you're DPSing one target, but need to interrupt another. Set the target to be interrupted as your focus.

#showtooltip
/cast Silencing Shot; Silencing Shot

This will allow you to stay on your current target, and interrupt your focus when needed without manually targeting it. If you do not have a focus, it will cast Silencing Shot on your target.

(I'd like to thank the Squirrel and Stormwind Rat who helped me test this macro. Unfortunately, the Squirrel did not survive the experience. My condolences to his family.)

ALSO - This macro should work with other range interrupts, just exchange "Silencing Shot" for your specific spell name.

EDIT - Why is this getting downrated? The macro works fine. Just be sure to position yourself so you're facing her and your target (common sense, otherwise it won't go off). If I've missed something, please do a reply so I can clarify it.

Comment by 920272

Hmmm!
She is sexy don't want attack!
xD

Comment by Rocknight

If you have a rogue in your party, ask them to use Smoke Bomb before the fight so that it's on cooldown and they can't use it when mind-controlled. Healers will thank you.

Comment by 320015

After attempting this fight many, many times yesterday unsuccessfully our group did figure out one or two tips that might help a lot of folks.

Most of the time Servant of the Queen will get casted on whoever is highest on the DPS charts. She will send that character after the healer first almost always.

The mages themselves are not immune to stuns, disorients, interrupts, etc.

I noticed no-ones mentioned this on here yet so I thought I'd throw it out there.

Comment by 981954

Survival Hunters can not interrupt her spell "Total Obedience" lol I feel like I have to explain this to somebody every time I get Queued into this dungeon! o.O

Comment by Venyas

She has her own chest physics. Don't believe me? Watch her walk sometime.

Comment by diceh

ENCHANTED MAGI I AM YOUR KHALEESI AND YOU WILL NOT ABANDON ME!

Every single one of the Magi is Ser Jorah Mormont

Comment by 811385

Joined a group as tank after they wiped on her. Found out that with bad enough dps you can end up fighting all 6 magi do to time. luckly all three dps raged quit and then cake walk. did not know that was possible

Comment by bloodthunderorc

I wish the female night elves could have golden eyes too (Actually night elves male can have this eye colour)

Comment by MiltiadesBooga

I wish they'd kept the blue gems on the dress from the first iteration of the model; while I appreciate that she has her amg zamg shampoo-commercial silver hair of awe and fainting hairdressers...? That pink is just not flattering. My eyes my eyes etc. Why is it so very bright.

Stupidness aside, the blue made her look much colder, which I thought was more appropriate.

Comment by Ametrine

Ironically, she is not wearing Queen Azshara's Dressing Gown.

Comment by radicarl

One thing I find ironic is that her skin color is almost the same shade of blue as many Naga are... but her Naga form is largely white.

Comment by ZerOrbit

This better be the female night elf model in Warlords of Draenor.

Comment by Briandris

I've been trying to solo Queen Azshara on my Draenei Shaman for Azshara's Scepter for my transmog set. The fight keeps resetting and I don't know why. I thought it was my elemental being mc'd but I stopped using him and stuck to Searing Totem but it's still happening. Most times I get down to the last couple of the Magi and then everything despawns and combat ends. It getting pretty frustrating lol.

I have been interrupting total obedience...missed a cpl times and was mc'd to her then killed. To be clear the fight just despawns for no apparent reason. I really want that scepter lol, any suggestions?

Comment by cephadex

Warcraft: where queens dress like sex slaves. Makes sense :/

(I love that I was rated down for just stating the truth. Are you saying she's somehow not dressed like a sex slave? Like that's the sort of outfit a real queen would wear?)

Comment by Netspook

Any advice on how to interrupt her with a Warlock? IS there actually any way to do that?

Comment by Xiberion

Make sure you let the adds that spawn stay alive for about 3-4 seconds while they have buff RP 1, RP 2, and RP 3 or they can bug out and the other adds will not become active or azshara will not leave combat with you.

Comment by 1034144

Solo'ed her on a Disc priest. Followed advice and used Silence to interrupt her puppet spell when it started. The rest is history. No pun intended.

Comment by ruthven78

you do have to kill off her adds off a lil more slowly or she glitches and just keeps trying to make you her puppet. I counted to 4 during each add activation to keep from killing them too quickly. just make sure if you are solo that you have a way to interrupt her puppetry.

Comment by paperc07

1) Ok so on DBM it says she is casting "Total Obidience" ignore the first one as you can see if you have her focused or just by looking at her that she isn't casting it.
2) Count to 4 before killing each set of adds. (I believe after the 1st or second set she cast the real "Total Obedience" make sure you interrupt that one).
3) Kill last set of adds and she just drops a chest

Comment by phantom721711

I'm a Warlock and can confirm that the Felhunter's Spell Lock will Interrupt her Total Obedience. She must be selected for it to work. It does not work if he's attacking her but you have someone else selected fighting them. You have to deslect your target that your fighting, select her and then use the Spell Lock for it to work.

Comment by Stoneheart98

Hopefully, she gets a new humanoid model since this one is pretty old.

Comment by Palz

If you /spit Queen Azshara while in the Queen's Court in The Eternal Palace, she instantly kills you for disrespecting her :D

Comment by SgtGrumbles

Her voice lines are all broken. When she speaks, nothing appears and no sound is made.
