Quick TipsPhase One:

Tank the boss at the edge of the encounter space, away from any Korallenstrukturs.

Taunt off of one another when your Seepockenschlag debuff drops.

Move away from Korallenstrukturs when they spawn.

Soak the Kräuselnde Welle bubbles in a staggered way before they reach the boss.

Move away from Aufwogen zones.

Stack 12 yards away from others with other marked players when marked with Salzblase.

DPS need to destroy the Salzblases to free their allies.

Break through the bosses Gehärteter Panzer to begin phase two.

Phase Two:

Deal as much damage to the boss as possible during this 1:10 minute window, before the boss reenters phase one.

Paired players should position as many Korallenstrukturs as possible between themselves to destroy them with Überspringendes Azerit.

Healers need to counteract the random ticking damage on the raid from the bosses Aufgedecktes Azerit passive.

Phase OneGehärteter Panzer

The boss will attempt to regenerate this shield via some of her mechanics throughout phase one. Players must prevent this regeneration at all costs.

Once this shield is broken, phase two will begin.

Korallenstruktur & Kräuselnde WelleKorallenstruktur

Anyone within the 10 yard spawn location around the Coral will take a burst of damage and be knocked back, so players should move away from them.

These Korallenstrukturs are completely stationary and can only be removed during phase two.

Players should avoid standing near the Korallenstrukturs, as they are surrounded by a small patch of Schneidende Koralle, which deals ticking damage to anyone who stands within it.

Kräuselnde WelleKorallenstruktur

If the bubble reaches her, it will restore up to 10% of her Gehärteter Panzer and deal a moderate burst of frost damage to the raid.

If a player comes into contact with a bubble, it will despawn and explode, dealing a moderate burst of frost damage to the raid and applying a stack of Durchnässt to the player who soaked it.

Durchnässt deals frost damage every 3 seconds over 15 seconds, and this can stack. Players should avoid gaining more than 2 or 3 stacks of Durchnässt.

The raid must ensure that all Kräuselnde Welle bubbles are soaked before they reach the boss. This should be done in a staggered way as to keep incoming raid damage reasonable.

Tanks should keep Lady Ashvane at least 15-20 yards away from any Korallenstrukturs, as to ensure that the bubble doesn't immediately reach her upon spawning.

KorallenstrukturKräuselnde Welle

Healers need to be prepared to counter this incoming damage with effective use of their cooldowns, ideally by having a single large cooldown each time Kräuselnde Welle is cast.

This mechanic acts as a pseudo-enrage for phase one, as eventually there will be more bubbles than your healers can counter.

Soak the bubbles before they reach the boss.

Aufwogen

All players need to move away from these locations when the ability is cast. Having the raid loosely spread will increase the chances of having a nearby safe area to move too.

Move out of Aufwogen zones!

SalzblaseSalzblase

5 seconds later, these players will be enveloped within a bubble, incapacitating them whilst dealing moderate nature damage every 1.5 seconds.

The only way to free these players is to destroy the bubble. All DPS should swap to the bubbles immediately, prioritising the tanks bubble.

Ideally, players marked with this ability will move into melee before the bubble is applied, as to allow players to cleave damage off of them and onto the boss.

This ability can be negated via immune effects, with Anti-Magic Shell, Cloak of Shadows and Aspect of the Turtle preventing the application of the bubble, and Ice Block/Divine Shield breaking the bubble whilst the player is within it.

Note: This ability is listed to also encase all other players within 12 yards within a bubble. This mechanic was not present on normal mode, but was present in other difficulties. If this is the case on live servers, marked players should stack on top of one another, 12 yards away from any non-marked player. This allows DPS to quickly swap to them and cleave all 3 bubbles down.

Destroy the Salzblases enveloping your allies!

SeepockenschlagSeepockenschlag

This also applies a debuff which increases damage taken from the ability by 150% for 35 seconds. This can stack.

Tanks want to taunt off of each other when their debuff drops. This is usually after each hit, but occasionally a tank may need to take two hits back to back.

In this situation, the tank wants to have large personal cooldowns to ensure they survive the 150% increased damage they take from the ability.

SeepockenschlagSchneidende Koralle

Tanks should position themselves against the sides of the encounter area as to spawn the patches in low traffic areas.

It is also possible to overlap the patches by quickly moving into a previous patch of Schneidende Koralle when Seepockenschlag is cast.

On normal difficulty, these patches would despawn after around 1 minute.

Place the Schneidende Koralle patches at the edge of the room.

Phase TwoGehärteter Panzer

The raid should use this time to deal as much damage to the boss as possible before she regains her Gehärteter Panzer at 150% of the strength of the previous one.

Throughout this phase, the boss will be dealing small bursts of damage to several randomly selected targets through her Aufgedecktes Azerit passive. Healers simply need to keep the raid topped up.

SeepockenschlagSalzblaseAufwogenKorallenstrukturKräuselnde Welle

Her main new ability is Überspringendes Azerit, which marks up to three pairs of players. These pairs will either be marked with a Blue, Red or Yellow mark.

10 Seconds after being marked, a beam will shoot between each of the pairs, dealing a high burst of damage to anyone in its path whilst also destroying any Korallenstrukturs.

Pairs need to position themselves so that they clear as many Korallenstrukturs as they can, whilst all other players move out of the path the incoming beam will take.

This ability will be cast twice per phase two. The raid should aim to clear all Korallenstrukturs with these casts as to minimise the amount of Kräuselnde Welle bubbles they'll need to soak next phase one.

Destroy Korallenstrukturs by positioning them betweenyou and your Überspringendes Azerit partner!

Gehärteter Panzer

Do note that the Carapace shield will always be the amount, regardless of how much health the boss has lost during phase two, as it is determined by % maximum health, not % current health.

The raid should aim to defeat the boss before the fourth phase one, as the bosses shield will be incredibly large which increases the time it will take the raid to leave the phase, potentially causing the raid to become overwhelmed with Kräuselnde Welle bubbles.

Heroic DifficultyKorallenstrukturKorallenstruktur

This forces the raid to soak more Kräuselnde Welle bubbles than they would on normal difficulty.

Tanks are also likely to have to move the boss away from nearby spawning Korallenstrukturs more often due to the increased amount that spawn randomly each time.

Also, with an increased number of growths, players will need to be extra efficient at clearing them with the Überspringendes Azerit during phase two.

SalzblaseSalzblase

Marked targets should stack up on a single point 12 yards away from anyone else. DPS then need to hard swap to these bubbles to free them as soon as possible.

Move away from others when marked with Salzblase.

Schneidende KoralleSchneidende KoralleSeepockenschlag

Tanks need to pay extra care when placing these patches as to minimise the amount of space they take up, ideally by having them spawn on top of previous patches.

Mythic DifficultyVerstärkte kräuselnde WelleKräuselnde WelleKorallenstrukturVerstärkte kräuselnde Welle

This bubble acts the same way as a standard bubble, but will instead restore up to 30% of her shield if it reaches her and deal up to three times the damage if it touches the boss.

To remove this bubble, players must touch it three separate times. This will deal damage equal to the amount done by a standard bubble each time it is soaked, as well as applying a stack of Durchnässt per soak.

If a single player wants to soak the Verstärkte kräuselnde Welle multiple times, they need to move away from it in between each soak, as standing constantly within the bubble only trigger the explosion a single time.

Empowered bubbles need to soaked three times!

DurchnässtDurchnässtKräuselnde Welle

This practically makes the debuff last the entire fight, as the encounter will be over long before the 20 minutes have timed out.

There was no way of avoiding gaining a Durchnässt debuff when soaking a Kräuselnde Welle, even with immunities.

The debuff also persists through death, which is supposed to discourage guilds from putting all of the debuffs on one player, having them die before resurrecting them, although the most popular strategy does this anyway.

The third tank is responsible for soaking nearly all Kräuselnde Welle that would reach the boss whilst her shield is active.

Any bubble that is due to reach the boss whilst her Hardened Carapace is down can simply be let through, as this does not give her any shield back and allows the group to avoid Waterlogged debuff applications.

As nearly all Waterlogged damage is placed on a few targets, this allows the raid to three heal the encounter.

Unfortunately, we cannot give much advice as to "who should use cooldowns at which point" as this varies wildly based on your raid composition.

That being said, most guilds do have some DPS hold cooldowns at the beginning of the fight as to have them available during the burn phases.

Below is a chart of how many Kräuselnde Welle waves are dealt with per phase one, as well as the ideal amount of health the boss would leave each phase two in.

Shield Phase One

Rippling Wave 1 - All soaked by third tank
Rippling Wave 2 - All waves hit the boss

Burn Phase One

Boss should leave around 65-75% health.

Shield Phase Two

Rippling Wave 1 - All soaked by third tank
Rippling Wave 2 - All soaked by third tank
Rippling Wave 3 - All waves hit the boss

Burn Phase Two

Boss should leave around 30-40% health
The third tank can die during this and be battle ressed during the next shield phase so that they can soak.

Shield Phase Three

Rippling Wave 1 - Ress the third tank, they then soaked all bubbles and die.
Rippling Wave 2 - All soaked by second tank.
Rippling Wave 3 - Ress the third tank, they then soaked all bubbles and die.
Rippling Wave 4 - All waves hit the boss

Burn Phase Three

Boss needs to die before the phase ends.

Kräuselnde Welle

Healers will also need to use some output/defensive cooldowns for each Kräuselnde Welle as they are soaked by the third tank.

Additionally, nearby Kräuselnde Welle bubbles may need to be soaked if the bosses shield has not dropped just yet. This should generally be done by the third tank or a player with good self healing capabilities.

Durchnässt

In the event that this tank dies before soaking all bubbles in the wave, nearby players with good self healing capabilities should soak any leftover bubbles.

Regenerative KoralleKorallenstrukturÜberspringendes Azerit

Five seconds later, these zones will detonate, each spawning a new Korallenstruktur.

If a player stands within the zone when it detonates, they take a burst of damage and prevent the Korallenstruktur from spawning.

All ranged players should stand next to Korallenstrukturs before they are destroyed by the Überspringendes Azerit, as to ensure that they the Regenerative Koralle zones are soaked before they make a new Korallenstruktur.

Do note: These zones only need one player to stand in them to soak them. They do not deal split damage, just flat damage to anyone who stands within them.

Soak the zones created by the Korallenstrukturs when they are destroyed!

This is most easily done by having players focus on the Coral Growths closer to the boss when the Überspringendes Azerit is first cast, as the boss cannot be dragged too far away from the wall during this time due to a Barnacle Bash cast.

On the second Überspringendes Azerit cast, players should then focus on the remaining Coral Growths which are further away, as the boss can be moved into the middle of the room shortly after the Überspringendes Azerit pairs have been created.

By clearing the Coral Growths in this way, the raid should be able to maintain range of the boss most of the time during phase two, allowing them to reach the damage checks necessary to defeat the boss.

This strategy has the raid kill the boss during the second burn phase.

This is achieved by having players hold cooldowns for the burn phases whilst also only 2 tanking the encounter.

As this strategy is still in its infancy, it isn't entirely clear as to how viable it is for a first kill.

This section of the guide will be updated as more information about the strategy comes to light.

Kommentar von Snichy

Loving the new "Guide Navigation" bar on the left, soooo helpful - keep it up!

Kommentar von Zervann

Question : If boss is put below Execute threshold (20-30 %), before shield comes back, does the shield takes more damage like in Execution phase ?

If yes, a strategy could be to burn boss below threshold during 2nd phase 2, so 3rd phase 1 is shorter.

Kommentar von Meteox

What happens when a rippling wave reaches her in phase 2? Does she restore her carapace?

Kommentar von Ryawy

Death knights can use anti-magic shell before Briny Bubble is cast to negate the effects of the bubble on themselves. Blood DK tanks might want to save theirs for overlapping Cutting Coral on heroic.

Kommentar von zeffira

Soloing Lady Ashvane as Holy Priest, I was thwarted by Briny Bubble. I used "Potion of Disclosure" when I saw Briny Bubble being cast. It worked to break the Bubble. Had to try several times to get the RNG Gods to let me get her down without a second cast. Thought about, but did not try "Potion of Concealment" so don't know if that works.
