- Freya starts off with 150 stacks of her "Attuned to Nature" buff, making it impossible to out DPS her constant self-healing ability. Killing all the adds that periodically spawn throughout the fight remove stacks of this buff.

Have your MT charge in and tank Freya, she doesnt do a lot of damage, but enough that your tank could get killed if healers are side-tracked. This fight consists mainly of adds spawning, and the raid dealing with the adds. When we killed her, she spawned 6 seperate waves of adds, 2 of each type:

-Ancient Protector (a large add with over 1mil HP in 10 man. The raid must be stacked under the mushrooms that spawn in order to avoid his silence aura.) He also throws out a debuff which works similar to that of phase1 of Lady Vashj, if you have it, move away from raid members.

- Detonating Lashers (a bunch of small adds, they do not have a lot of HP and are untankable. When they die they explode for a solid amount of damage, so be careful when dealing with these).

- Snaplasher, Storm Lasher and Ancient Water Elemental (Three adds who must be killed within ~12 seconds of each other, or they will come back to life. The Snaplasher becomes stronger and slower over time, the Storm Lasher does AoE lightning abilities, and the ancient water elemental does a frontal AoE attack). Note: On 25 man, I strongly reccomend having your tank kite snaplasher when he begins reaching ~40 stacks of his debuff (assuming elder ironbranch is dead).

-Note: Throughout the encounter, Blessings of Eonar will spawn. They look like really funky trees that grow. if they reach full size, freya will drain them and heal her/ any adds alive for a large amount of HP. We assigned our two ranged DPS to be in charge of killing these ASAP on 10 man. (We assigned 5 ranged to deal with them on 25 man)

This fight is shockingly simple on 10 man. We just nuked the Protector, and AoE'd the Lashers. We also just AoE'd the 3 adds, although we made sure to kill them at roughly the same time. Once Freya's stacks reach 0, the adds will stop spawning, and the fight becomes incredibly easy. Merely DPS her down, kite her out of the roots on the ground which spawn (they explode and knock people back while dealing damage).

Good Luck :)

EDITED for Hard Mode (10 man) Info:

1 Elder Alive: We left up Elder Ironbranch for our attempts for 1 Elder. The fight was still pretty basic, the healing becomes slightly more intense. We had our DPSers create a macro: " /tar strength" to target the Strengthened iron roots freya casts. The only change we made was the add tank (me) began kiting snaplasher once he began reaching ~40 stacks of his debuff.

2 Elder: We left up Elder Ironbranch and Elder Brightleaf. In addition to the fast iron-root killing, we also had to worry about the beams of light spawning. Simply step out of them ASAP (if you're rooted in one, yell at people to break you out fast). The main phase of concern is the Detonating Lasher phase. We handled this by stacking in freya's melee range for the lashers. We AoE'd them down to approximately ~20% hp, then we had our hunter drop a frost trap and our mage nova them, we then ran away and began aoe'ing them down, if there were a few left alive out of the trap, we simply focus fired them down in between raid heals.

Also, during the Trio phase (Storm/Snap/Water Spirit), I reccomend having atleast 1 interrupt class focused on stopping Stormlasher's Stormbolt ability.

It should also be noted that there are three "Elders" in Freya's area who are mini-bosses in their own right and drop an Emblem of Valor/Conquest as well:

Elder StoneBark
Elder Ironbranch
Elder Brightleaf

Presumably, this encounter will be similar to Sartharion and his drakes, with each Elder joining the fight at various intervals and additional loot gained for each Elder left alive.

Freya is an obvious reference to Freyja, the Norse god of love, beauty and fertility.

The Archivum Data Disc provides the following insights when the quest is turned in:
Watcher powers augmented by presence of elder servants.
Analyzing Elder Brightleaf enhancement.... Persistent area defenses powered by solar amplification.
Elder Stonebark analysis reveals a sonic defense that disrupts use of magic.
Elder Ironbranch scans have uncovered plant-based immobilization mechanisms.
In addition, my analysis links each elder to an increase in Freya's spellcasting, physical or summoning capabilities.
Destruction of elder servants will result in loss of enhancements on watcher Freya. However, permanent damage to Freya's person and possessions, including her watcher sigil, highly probably.

The only critical thing with this fight is to deal with the Detonating Lashers. They don't have an aggro table and their targets are totally random. They will rush from one person to the next, but won't stick to him/her until dead. The best way to deal with these is not doing AOE but single dps'ing them down, because they inflict massive damage when killed. If you AOE them, a very big burst of damage will occur, killing several people.

Freya hardmode rewards:

No Elders: 1 Emblem of Valor, tier gloves, ilevel 219 item and satchel.
1 Elder: 2 Emblems of Valor, 1 Emblem of Conquest, tier gloves, ilevel 219 item and satchel.
2 Elders: 3 Emblems of Valor, 2 Emblems of Conquest, tier gloves, ilevel 219 item and satchel.
3 Elders: 4 Emblems of Valor, 2 Emblems of Conquest, tier gloves, ilevel 219 item, ilevel 232 item and satchel.

Note that the Emblems of Valor increase due to leaving the elders alive, so those are theirs.

I can't confirm the 2 elders up loot, but I'm pretty sure I saw a screenshot with it.

Another usefull note to doing heroic modes:
Freya herself also gains health with leaving elders up. I can only confirm health with 1 elder up, other 2 are speculative.

No Elders: ~1.4 million hp
1 Elder: ~ 1.8 million hp
2 Elders: ~ 2.2 million hp
3 Elders: ~ 2.6 million hp

Phase 2 becomes more of a dps race with leaving elders up, keep the enrage timer in mind.

If you wish to see a strategy on beating Freya with 3 Elders alive, please check out my strategy that I posted in the Knock, Knock, Knock on Wood comments.

We completed this in 10 man, but this info may also be useful if you are attempting it in 25 man.

It should be noted, if you have a bored priest in raid, it may be useful to Mana Burn her, as she will not drop seeds in phase 2 without mana :)

As of just a little bit a ago a guild, Something Diabolical, has now killed Freya with 150 stacks of Attuned to Nature still up. This now shows how its able to be done just requiring amazing DPS.

Freya 10man, Normal Mode.

My raid group was having difficulty with Freya's Snaplasher adds until we discovered this tactic...and got her in 1 try.

The Snaplasher gets a stack of Hardened Bark every time it is attacked. My guess is DoT ticks probably do not count (not sure). Each stack gives them +10% more damage. If the Snaplasher is allowed to get too many stacks, they can easily 1-shot your raid members, including well-geared tanks. While other strategies recommend kiting the mob, we found removing the buff was easier. This ability can (and should) be Dispelled by a priest, Purged by a shaman, or Spellstolen by a mage from the Snaplasher ASAP. We did not have warlock, but I imagine a Felhunter's Devour Magic would also work, but the 8-sec CD makes it un-spammable. Try not to let the Snaplasher get more than 3-5 stacks. Be aware that the buff stacks will grow quickly under constant raid dps.

Also, you can use this nifty macro to auto-raidmark the adds when they spawn. One click marks the Water with a Skull, Storm with an X, and Snaplasher with a Circle. I also use this macro on Hodir's adds.
/target Ancient Water Spirit
/script SetRaidTarget("target",8)
/target Storm Lasher
/script SetRaidTarget("target",7)
/target Snaplasher
/script SetRaidTarget("target",2)

Hope this helps!

Freya no longer drops sprout bombs in 25 man during Phase 2. We were able to tank her in One spot the entire time. Not sure if this has been nerfed in 10 man though.

Killed her 25man yesterday, she still dropped the sprout bombs for us.

Below is a macro helpful for catching trees as soon as they spawn, It will clear your current target, and attempt to target the Eonar's Gift mob (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=33228#comments), if the mob is up and is a valid target this macro will announce so in /rw.
((As posted on the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake page, https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44168#comments:id=766197) this macro can be modified to fit different situations, by editing the player, mob, or npc you target (the second line, displayed below as /tar Eonar) and if need be the which chat it is announced in (Below the 4th line, changing /rw to any given channel, such as /raid , /party , /guild and so on and so fourth)).

/cleartarget
/tar Eonar
/stopmacro
/rw > %t <
/stopmacro

Hope this helps!
~ I know generally people use add-ons to announce when such mobs spawn and events occur, but i figure id post a macro that would be helpful for those who prefer macros over add-ons and whatnot)

This fight in heroic mode (25 man) is madness if your DPS is not coordinated well, you will suffer wipe after wipe, until you will learn to DPS each add when it's needed and how much is needed, and kill only when u must kill. This fight is the first fight (also VoA Emalon) where DPS must coordinate perfectly in order to succeed. I strongly advice raid leaders to assign teams for each wave type in order to keep DPS under controll.

Commento di 2008

In 3.2, if you're doing Freya+3, you can now escape from Strengthened Iron Roots by using anti-snare mechanisms: i.e. Hand of Freedom, Vanish, Blink, Imp:Shadowform's Fade, etc. I'd imagine druids can shape shift out of it as well.

This helps out a lot (especially if you have 2 paladins to rotate Hand of Freedom) since you'd have 1 less DPS on the roots.

If the raid group kills the three gods will she gain sanity again instead of being mad?
