Phase One AbilitiesInfusionInfusion

When Infusion is cast, half the raid is debuffed with Light Infusion and the other half with Fel Infusion.

Maiden of VigilanceInfusionLight InfusionFel Infusion

Which debuff players gain seems to be entirely random, apart from the tanks which will always receive opposite Infusions from one another.

Fel InfusionLight Infusion

If a Fel Infused player takes Holy damage or if a Light Infused player takes fire damage, or if players will opposing Infusions stand within 3 yards of one another, they will receive the Unstable Soul debuff.

Unstable Soul

Players afflicted with Unstable Soul must jump into the large hole in the middle of the encounter area with at most 1.5 seconds before expiration. If you jump too early you will fall to your death. If you don't jump at all and you will potentially kill your entire raid.

Unstable Soul

Once the debuff expires the player will explode, dealing a large burst of damage to the entire raid, whilst knocking up themselves and anyone within 5 yards.

This explosion can be mitigated entirely by using the hole in the centre of the encounter area.

Players falling down the hole will receive Aegwynn's Ward, which will stop the explosion from dealing damage to the rest of the raid.

Unstable SoulUnstable Soul

If timed correctly this will cause the Unstable Soul to deal no damage to the raid, and the afflicted player can use the knock up from the explosion to return to the encounter area.

If players enter too early, they will have fallen too far down for the knockback effect of the Unstable Soul to return them to the encounter area. In this situation they will simply fall to their deaths.

Do note that the knock up is also a knock back, so players should face their back towards the edge of the hole to guarantee that they return to the encounter area.

On normal difficulty, players falling in the well will fall slower than usual, allowing more wiggle room to mistime jumping into the well for the Unstable Soul

Unstable SoulMass Instability

If infused players stick with their own it's unlikely you'll have excessive Unstable Soul debuffs.

Unstable Soul

This reduces the chance of players with non matching Infusions going near one another.

As soon as the raid has been Infused, players should run the their Infusion assigned side as soon as possible.

There is a 5 second grace period after Infusion is applied, allowing players with opposing Infusion types to stand on top of one another.

Use this grace period to move quickly to the correct side of the boss.

Hammer of Creation

As this damage is Holy, the Holy Infused tank should take the Hammer, and only players with the Light Infusion should help share the damage, as otherwise unnecessary Unstable Souls will trigger.

It is also possible for the tank to face this cast away from anyone else and solo the hit. This reduces overall movement needed by the raid which helps increase output, however it will require a large damage reduction and strong gear to pull off without dying.

Hammer of ObliterationHammer of Creation

As this damage is fire, the Fel Infused tank should take the hammer, and only players with the Fel Infusion should help share the damage, as otherwise unnecessary Unstable Souls will trigger.

Much like the Hammer of Creation, this hammer is also soloable by the tank. Just make sure that the tank has adequate cooldowns and gear to survive the hit.

Phase Two AbilitiesEssence FragmentsTitanic BulwarkWrath of the CreatorsMaiden of Vigilance

She will teleport to the direct opposite side of the room and cast Blowback.
This will stun players by up to 12 seconds, with the stun duration being lower for players further away from her.

Players must not premove to the otherside of the room before the transition, as otherwise their stun duration will be too high.

Instead players should remain in their Phase One positions to counteract the Blowback.

Titanic Bulwark

This is a large damage absorption shield which also prevents all interrupts whilst it is active.

Wrath of the CreatorsWrath of the CreatorsExtinguish Life

To interrupt Wrath of the Creators you must remove her large damage absorption shield.


Soaking an orb that matches you're Infusion type will give you Creator's Grace or Demon's Vigor which stacks! Soak the wrong orbs and you'll receive more Unstable Soul debuffs.	The orbs have a very small hit box so you must be right within their waypath. When soaked you'll also buff any other matching players within 5~ yards.

Essence FragmentsHammer of Obliteration

Players that collide with the orbs will absorb them. If the orb matches their Infusion type, it will give the player and nearby allies either Creator's Grace or Demon's Vigor, which is a buff that increases damage by 10% and healing by 5% for 20 seconds, stacking up to 10 times.

If the orb doesn't match their Infusion type, it will trigger an Unstable Soul on the player.

InfusionInfusion

This may lead to situations where mutliple orbs of the matching Infusion type come towards the group.

In this situation, players should focus on gathering a single matching orb, rather than trying to gather multiple orbs per row.

At this point players need to focus on removing the Titanic Bulwark. Once this has been achieved the Wrath of the Creators should be interrupted and the boss will return to Phase One.

Infusion

Players need to pay attention to their Infusion type and move to the correct side of the boss, as it may have changed when the boss recasts Infusion.

Bloodlust Timing

Bloodlusting on pull may be the best, as all DPS cooldowns are available and there is minimal movement during this period.

However, Bloodlusting during the second Phase Two can work well, as two minute cooldowns will allign with this point, and everyone should have high stacks of either Creator's Grace or Demon's Vigor.

Strategy SummaryPhase One

The raid must separate and stand on opposing sides of the boss depending on their Infusion type, with Light Infusion being on one side and Fel Infusion being on the other

Light Infused players must avoid all fire damage and Fel Infused players must avoid all holy damage to avoid triggering an Unstable Soul

Players with Unstable Soul must jump into the hole in the middle of the room as their debuff reaches 1-2 seconds remaining

The Light Infused tank must take the hit from the Hammer of Creation and the Fel Infused tank must take the hit from the Hammer of Obliteration.

If the tanks are unable to solo a Hammer, players with matching Infusion types should stack up on the tank to help split the damage

Players must not stand in the Light/Fel Remanence pools, as well as avoid their Light/Fel Echoes bolts that fly out of them as they decay

Phase Two

Do not pre-move to the opposite side of the encounter area as the stun from Blowback will last longer

Both the Fel and Light infused players should remain on their sides and soak the incoming matching Essence Fragmentss, whilst avoiding the non-matching Essence Fragmentss

Players must damage the Maiden to remove her Titanic Bulwark. Once this is removed, players must immediately interrupt her Wrath of the Creators to return to Phase One

Subsequent Phase Ones

Players must be prepared to switch to the correct Infusion assigned side when the boss recasts Infusion

Role specific responsibilitiesTanks

Damage the Maiden to remove her Titanic Bulwark. Once this is removed, immediately interrupt her Wrath of the Creators to return to Phase One

Looking for Raid Difficulty

The Unstable Soul now only deals damage to the afflicted player when it explodes, rather than the entire raid.

This means that you do not need to jump down the hole in the middle of the room on Looking For Raid difficulty.

Additionally, the Titanic Bulwark gained in Phase Two is substantially weaker, removing some of the strain of soaking the Essence Fragmentss as damage output is not as important.

Heroic Difficulty

This requires players to time jumping into the well more carefully when afflicted with Unstable Soul.

Hammer of Creation

The Light Remanence pool will slowly decay, as it does it will send out Light Echoes bolts toward the location of random players.

When these bolts land they will deal a burst of Holy damage to anyone within 4 yards.
Players must move out of these to avoid taking excess damage, especially if afflicted with the Fel Infusion as the Holy damage will trigger an Unstable Soul.

Hammer of ObliterationFel Echoes

Players must move out of these to avoid taking excess damage, especially if afflicted with the Light Infusion as the Fire damage will trigger an Unstable Soul.

Titanic Bulwark

As the damage from the Hammers has been increased, under-geared/under-experienced tanks may struggle to solo soak the ability, especially in larger raid sizes. This may mean that you will need to split the damage with the rest of the raid more often than on Normal Mode.

As the damage absorption shield gained through the Titanic Bulwark is substantially larger than on Normal, collecting a large amount Essence Fragmentss takes higher priority, as the damage output buff gained from them helps break through the larger shield.

Mythic DifficultyEssence FragmentsFragment Burst

This deals a large burst of damage to the entire raid, and applies a nasty dot which lasts 8 seconds.

The Fragment Burst also applies Ravaged Soul to the raid, which is a permanent debuff which increases damage taken by Fragment Burst by 25%.

Fragment BurstEssence Fragments

To achieve this, you must have two groups of players per side of the room. One group with Fel Infusion and the other with Light Infusion.

These groups must consist of at least 3 players, as 3 orbs of a matching type may travel along that side of the room.

The groups should be separated by a small distance, to ensure that extra Unstable Souls are not triggered during the phase.

Spontaneous Fragmentation

This will spawn a single Essence Fragments at the feet of a single target with the opposite Infusion after 3 seconds.

The orb will then chase that player for 10 seconds. If it is not absorbed within these 10 seconds it will trigger a Fragment Burst.

Infusion

To help achieve this, it is best that both sides of the boss has players of both Infusion types, so that the kiting player doesn't have to travel a long distance.

These players need to remain separate from one another, to ensure that they do not move on top of each other and trigger extra Unstable Souls

The Blood Relic Tears of the Maiden is missing from the loot section!

Comment by kived

Are the Remanences and Echoes heroic/mythic only? Or was the fight bugged last night? Because it certainly wasn't happening for us in normal. The Hammers were cast, we split the damage, and that was that. No Remanance pools or Echoes.

Comment by MapleWarrior

Is this the Maiden of Virtue's big sister?

Comment by grekb

It seems that the orbs only give the Creator's Grace and Demon's Vigor on the player that soaks them, not to the players wihin 15yards. Maybe it is bugged at the moment

Comment by Kaerfemagsh

so from what i am finding it seems this boss can only be done once the 6 before it are defeated, yet this boss seems easier than most of the others in this place...

LFR Chamber of the Avatar release day:
Infusion will only be casted at the start at Phase 2 and debuffs last until Wrath of the Creators is interrupted. Also there is no Hammer of Creation or Hammer of Obliteration in phase 1. Maiden of Vigilance will cast Mass Instability more frequently in Phase 1 and target 2 players instead of 3.

This is a 1 tank fight. People who fall down the hole without the debuff to bounce them out will die cannot be resurrected (ever!).

If you get a giant red timer above your head, jump down the hole just before the timer for the Unstable Soul debuff expires, and keep your back to the boss since you'll be thrown out again
When she casts Infusion, you will get a debuff which is either yellow (holy) or green (fel). The boss will also teleport across the room and as you run to her, avoid orbs that do not match your colour. You can pick up orbs that match your colour for a damage boost, but the safest option is to just stick to the golden lines on the ground and avoid all orbs.
Pop dps cooldowns as she is channeling Titanic Bulwark to burn through her shield and interrupt her - if she completes the cast you will wipe. Interrupting her will also remove the holy/fel mechanic.
The enrage is 10 minutes.

Bloodlust/Heroism: best used on the pull, while everyone is alive.

For those late to the party, how do you get to Maiden of Vigilance, it appears that the route to her is blocked by Tomb of Sargeras: Aegwynn's Path which requires you to kill her to get the quest parts needed for it
