Overview The key element of the fight is management of DPS, that will need to be split between the adds in phase 1, and focused on DPSing Deathwhisper to deplete her mana shield. During phase 1, Lady Deathwhisper will have a mana shield that will absorb all the damage done to her. She will attack the raid with Death and Decay and Shadow Bolts - none of which should be too dangerous. On 25-player difficulty she will also mind control a random raid member for a short amount of time - CC them and move on. The second component of this phase, however, could cause troubles. Adds will come in waves from both sides of the room - mix of Adherents and Fanatics. In the 10-player version of the raid, the waves will come from only one side at a time, switching sides. In the 25-player one, adds will come from both left and right side - one add will come from the entrance of the room as well. Kill them as quickly as possible and then go back to burning the boss' mana. Kite any Deformed Fanatics, and watch out for adds casting Dark Martyrdom - it means they will come back to life Reanimated in a few seconds. Spellcasters should stick with the Fanatics, and melee - with the Adherents. When all of the adds are dead, go back to the boss. Phase 2 begins when Lady Deathwhisper's mana barrier has been drained. Try not to have any cultists alive when that happens. The boss will become active and a tank needs to pick her up quickly, as there is no threat reset. A second tank will need to be available to taunt the boss, since she will periodically debuff her current tank with a stacking threat generation reduction debuff. The two (or three) tanks taunt off each other every 3 stacks. Players should be mindful of the Vengeful Shades that will spawn through phase 2 and will randomly chase people - get away from them! These shades are untargetable and will die after a few seconds (similar to the shades in Sethekk Halls ). Melee DPS might want to set up an interrupt rotation, since Deathwhisper's Frostbolt can cause significant damage. She will continue using Death and Decay (and Dominate Mind in 25-player).Heroic : Three things mark Heroic as a different fight. First, Cultists will continue to spawn - one Cultist from the entrance of the room on 10-man, and three on one of the sides on 25-man. Second, she will start mind controlling people on 10-man (one at a time), and continue using Dominate Mind on three people in 25-man. And lastly, Lady Deathwhisper is not tauntable in Phase 2, so make sure that your tanks are always highest on threat, and that one tanks taunts the boss just before her shield dissipates.
