Loot The loot from the encounter can be found in , which spawns after Freya's defeat. Overview There are two phases to this encounter - Add phase and a Boss phase. During the Add phase, Freya will heal herself faster than the raid can DPS her, so it is pointless to try to. One tank will need to keep her occupied, but she will not hard enough to make healing on the tank a problem. 1-3 OTs will also be needed, because of the various kinds of adds she spawns. During the Add phase, there will be 6 waves of adds, each wave chosen from a set of three. Freya could summon many Detonating Lashers, which will need to be killed few at a time, because they explode as they die. The second option for a wave is a combination of Ancient Water Spirit, Storm Lasher, and Snaplasher. They need to be picked up by OTs and killed within 10 seconds of each other, or they will all revive and heal. The Stormlasher should be interrupted as often as possible, and the Snaplasher - kited, since his damage increases as he takes more damage. The last option for a wave could be an Ancient Conservator. If he spawns, mushrooms will also start growing all throughout the area - players will need to get under them, or they will be pacified and unable to attack or cast spells. The six waves of adds will come at one minute intervals, where the next wave will spawn regardless of whether you have killed the current one (so if you are low on DPS, you might get overwhelmed with adds). In addition, during both this and the next phase, Freya will spawn Lifebinder's Gifts/Eonar's Gifts (announced by raid warnings), which are growing trees. They need to be killed immediately, or they will heal Freya and her adds after a few seconds. Phase 2, the Boss phase, starts 6 minutes after the beginning of the fight. Her self-healing debuff will disappear when all the adds are dead, so the raid will be able to DPS her. She will start spawning multiple spouts thought the encounter area, which will explode after a few seconds, do damage and knock players back. They should be avoided, as the fight becomes a DPS race in this phase. Abilities Elders Elder Brightleaf (Spell #62262) - Changes Elder Brightleaf's damage and healing randomly every 5 seconds.
