Keys to the fight are:
- propper placement and reactivity to Pact of the Darkfallen and Swarming Shadows
- managing the exponential spread of Essence of the Blood Queen (i.e. assigning bite order before-hand)

Keep heroism/bloodlust for when all or most DPS players are vampires. If you're a DPS class, time your clickies (trinkets, etc.) accordingly.

This fight requires very intensive raid healing and burst tank healing, as well as high DPS (aprox. 45k raid DPS).

A question about offtanking: does any mitigation work for the person soaking the blood mirror, or can a warrior go into battle stance for extra dps without taking additional damage? (since i'm losing defensive stances extra mitigation)

Heroic :-

In Heroic Mode her Shroud of Sorrow ability increases by % for every vampire in the room. So in effect, her aura pulses for more as more bites go out and more vampires are created. I temporarily forget the %'s, even though I did the fight. (5% for 10 man, if I recall correctly).

Her Health in 10 man is - 18.9 Million
Her Health in 25 man is - 71.3 Million.

Priests!
Fear Ward yourselves and Mass Dispel the fear bomb in flight phase. This will not completely cancel the effect (unless you have a lot of priests), but it will certainly mitigate it some (especially preemptively casting).

EDIT: Anyone know if the old "alt+F4" will render your mind-controlled toon useless? Not instantly, of course...

lol, gotta be one of the coolest fights in game. If you are a dps, you can be a freaking vampire and you are allowed to bite others!

Haha!

Kommentar von llubtoille

if a paladin get's the first bite, and bubble hearths, does she cast it again?

We've been having trouble with this fight on 10 man. We were trying to get our Shadow priest bitten first (Shadow priest damage buff = extra raid healing), we were letting him go in and be the only DPSer besides the tanks.
He was the highest DPS but instead of getting bitten it was one of the healers. We did a few more tries and it definitly looks like it's whoever is 3rd on threat is the one that gets bitten. Despite the DPS our shadow priest was doing - his shadow-form was reducing threat to below that of the healers.

~~We're about to try misdirecting our shadow priest. Will let you know how it goes.~~
Didn't work. Healer wasn't even on the threat meter and still got bitten

Subsequent tries have shown that it's likely the 3rd on the threat list, provided more than three sources have significant threat, to prevent you just going in with one DPSer and attempting to force the bite on that player.

25-man - 59.4M HP
This is assuming 2 tanks with 2.75k dps and 6 healers, and that your 17 dps have 315 seconds to kill her (5 bites with 60 second CD). Last bite will leave 1 dps unaffected.
Total raid DPS - 189k
Total dps DPS - 183k
Avg dps DPS - 8.7k

10-man - 14.2M HP
This is assuming 2 tanks with 2.75k dps and 3 healers, and that your 5 dps have 240 seconds to kill her (4 bites with 75 second CD). Late bite will leave 1 dps unaffected.
Total raid DPS - 59.0k
Total dps DPS - 51.8k
Avg dps DPS - 6.1k

Vampires count as 2 dps (100% damage increase), which means you will have the equivalent of 33 dps on the last leg on 25-man and 9 dps on 10-man.

The fight is 2healable on normal 10man without overgearing it; the group didnt have a single ICC25 drop, and progression peaked at 10/12. Healers were disc priest + resto druid; a ret paladin specced into Divine Sacrifice helped mitigate second air phase damage, and healthstones were used on the first one. The fight is extremely demanding on the healers if 2healed, but it is doable with proper dedication. The druid got two pacts and two swarming shadows, so the luck factor can be disregarded.

We always let a mage get bitten first, giving Hand of Salvation to our second best dps, and having the mage blow cds and go nuts for 100% of the fight.

Be sure to arrange the biting order if you have an arcane mage to easily trigger the first bite, and to include your best dps to be bitten earlier; save bloodlust / heroism for when 8 vampires are out to finish her off quickly.

Good luck on Frostwing Halls!

One thing no one has mentioned, right before the second air phase if your biting people as soon as the warning appears is that you may end up getting down to 5 seconds before MC right as the air phase ends, when people may be low on health and end up killing them via the bite. If you hold your debuff until the last 3-5 seconds, you can exit the second air phase with roughly 8 seconds left til MC before biting again, which gives enough time to heal people back up to full. We used this method to great effect, bringing her from 8% at 15 seconds to enrage, to 3% and finally to the kill. If ya got a shammy, bloodlust when the top four dps have the buff, blow any big CDs ya got-DK pets/armies, Berserk for cats etc...

the whole fight is rather easy, but the killer at least for us was the transfer after the second air phase(which is when people who need to bite start freaking out looking for their target) Once you can live through the second air phase, it's almost a 100% kill unless her health is still high or the enrage timer is right on your toes.

It's me or she is somewhat similar in looks to Sarah Kerrigan?

Kommentar von 468951

Can anyone say for sure what determines first bite? threat, dmg done, or is it random.

EDIT: Seems to be third on threat, correct me if im wrong

HOLY PALADINS TRICKS/TIPS:

1) If you're not specced into Aura Mastery, DO IT. The cooldown (two minutes) is PERFECTLY timed with her bloodbolt whirls - Shadow Aura +AM (even with a Priest in the raid) and 260 shadow resist will help a ton.

2) Divine Guardian works wonders. Do it.

3) No danger in staying in melee - just go off to the side a bit so if you do get Swarming Shadows, you don't insta-gib half your DPS.

4) Holy Light is your best friend (always should be, meh) ESPECIALLY after two or four bites.

5) Beacon MT, heal OT=works even better than in any other boss encounter. Go nuts; on 10 man the healing needed to the OT is a little more than negligible, so you can throw out Flashes, Holy Lights, and Shocks out to ease raid healing.

Hmmm, since Uncontrollable Frenzy is a Charm, i wonder if WotF can break it.

Kommentar von 190454

I have a question about this fight. I'm using Bartender4 for action bars but when I was bitten the possess bar didn't change so I couldn't get my bite off. What's the spell called to bite so I can make a macro of it, just in case this happens another time?

Kommentar von Galdar

Tip if you are wiping on the 2nd air phase

If you do not wait at least 5-10 seconds to bite someone on the first 2 vampire bites, you will be forced to bite in the middle of the 2nd air phase. You will wipe every time.

By standing around for 5-10 seconds with frenzied bloodthirst, you can make this fight much easier. By giving yourself that extra time, when it comes time to bite the 3rd time, you will not have to do this in the middle of an air phase.

The airphase bloodbolts deal extra damage to people standing close together. You DO NOT want to be standing by someone trying to pass off a vampire bite while blood bolts are raining down. It's nearly impossible to heal through.

10m

While this fight doesn't require quite as much group awareness as the Princes, it requires the same amount of individual awareness and more DPS - if the raid starts going immune to vampire bites, then people get MCed. A few pointers:

Preparation
Doing this fight with two healers is possible, but not the best idea unless you have overgeared, experienced healers. A paladin healer is amazing here, because both tanks take high amounts of damage and Beacon of Light fixes that. Three seems to be the magic number, as with most 10m fights in this raid. You need, as always, two tanks for this fight. Assign each raid member (other than the tanks, who just spread out) a spot to go to during the air phase - it makes things easier. Optionally, you can make "bite list" for vampires. The raid should stay spread out as much as possible, though.

The Pull
Do not charge in if you are a melee DPS (such as a feral cat or a warrior), as this may cause you to take the OT's debuff. The OT should be the closest to the Queen at all times, so the melee DPS should be on the outside of her hitbox. The MT shouldn't worry much about positioning. Caster DPS should be spread out, prefferably in an arc around the side of the circle away from the boss. This makes Pact of the Darkfallen easier to deal with. She should be tanked either on or in front of the steps, and while she has no cone attacks that I know of, tanking her facing away from the raid helps with such things as vampire bites (it's easier to see the melee DPS).

Vampires
The vampire debuff can both make and break a raid. If your raid chose not to list who bites who beforehand, then the vampire should know who they are going to bite as soon as they gain the debuff. This way, the vampire can continue to DPS the boss while looking for their next victim. Bloodlust/Heroism should be saved for when a high DPSer has the debuff. If someone's vampire buff is fading during the flight phase fear, this can potentially cause a wipe. However, do not run through the raid to bite someone or else that will almost surely cause a wipe.

Air Phase
Not terribly difficult. As I mentioned above, you'll want to assign positions to make things easier. Other than that, your only worries are vampires (detailed above), fires (which shouldn't be an issue if handled the right way), and fears (Fear Wards or, better yet, Tremor Totems handle this well). The air phase is relatively short, and the tanks should run back to their spots. This is also the best time for a bear tank to Rebirth somebody, given that they stay clear of the rest of the raid while doing it.

Flames
Not terribly difficult to deal with - if you can do Jaraxxus, you can do this. Spread the flames on the outside of the room, but at the same time try not to cover the entire outside of the room with flames. Retrace your steps if you have to, but make sure you walk beside flames you have already placed, not in them. These are only an issue in the air phase.

Pact of the Darkfallen
The best way to handle this is to line up in an arc as described above. When players are linked, they should start running towards the center of the circle in the middle of the room, but run directly towards each other when they find each other (the less time they are pacted, the better).

Not a terribly difficult fight, but requires planning and awareness. I was just in a group in which only about half of the players had run the fight before, and we still managed to get her to 30% on our first wipe.

I have to say, the most important aspect to this fight is the Vampirism buff.

If you look at Blood Queen's short enrage timer and assume all DPS are at about 8k the math shows her still alive at enrage. This means that you need to have as many vampires as possible!

There are two ways of going about the passing of the buff. In 10-man you can do it however you like because the number of DPS in your party that have the debuff becomes very high very quickly, allowing you to overpower her with your 100% increased damage. Sexy.

In 25-man it's more tricky, because 1 person with Vampirism is less than 5% of your DPS. The two ways of passing this buff are these:

-Get the Blood Queen addon that allows your raid leader to automatically whisper whoever has the debuff who they should bite.

-Bite the nearest non-vampire DPS.

Many raid leaders choose to get the addon, which makes it much easier for less attentive raiders to know when to do what, and, if all goes well, pass the buff to the highest DPS first.

However, I would not dismiss the second option. By having the DPS bite the closest vulnerable player you reduce the time spent finding a target, giving your vampires more time to do damage. Notice that when the vampirism engages Blood Craving all players that are not vampires have a large red blood droplet over their head, making it absurdly easy to bite one.

Essentially, your deciding factors should be these: After a few tries, if your players are being consistently mind-controlled before you have 16 vampires, try targeting the nearest one. This will reduce the chance that any player fails to find his target. If biting accuracy is not an issue, use the addon which will allow you to maximize your DPS over the fight.

I gotta say the scariest moment for me in WoW was during this fight when I was bitten and I only had one person to bite left and I couldn't find him but at 1 second left I bit him. My heart was racing for the rest of ICC (we wiped on Sindragosa a lot)

Kommentar von cms2k

Loot note: In ICC25 heroic, Blood Queen drops 1 heroic token and 2 regular tokens.

Personally, I think that's a jip.

1. On BPC, when and why shouldn't you use all your abilities every time it's possible?
2. On BQL, your screen border changes color and an arrow appears above your character's head, what do you do?
3. Still on BQL, OMG you've got big red lazors linking you to 2 stacked RDPS, what now?
ANSWER PLEASE?
