La mejor forma es llevar a un priest, ojala se disciplina para dispellee el frio intenso con disipacion en masa o individual, con 2 seria mas sencillo por el mana, el resto full dps.

Ok, here's how it works.

Keristrasza has an ability named Intense Cold that stacks on players every 2 seconds, dealing 100 damage per second.

So, to have this achievement, the players have to defeat her in heroic mode while avoind 3+ stacks of the debuff, and for that the players must always move to remove the debuff. In short, players must not stand idle for more than roughly 4-5 seconds on the same place.

I'd advise all players to use spells with a maximum cast time of 2 seconds or less ready for this boss, and spec to those abilities for the maximum DPS if needed. healers will have to probably put aside their large heals and go with flash heals of 1.5 seconds or instant spells.

The worst part on this is another of her abilities, Crystal Chains, which root the players for 10 seconds. And they'll get stacks of Intense Cold while rooted, which is BAD!

The best combination for this boss would be a tank and 3 meele DPS players always moving to left and right and a discipline priest proficient with PW:Shield and the instant heal from the Holy Tree. Paladins can also work well here, as probably they can stand still for the duration of their bubble, immune to the ability. Hunter suffer a lot on this one, as they have to keep moving. A strategic alternative would be after each steady shot, jump twice and while jumping twice, use an instant shot, like Serpent Sting or Arcane shot. Dut to this, Multi-shot should not be used in this fight.

Edit: players can remove the debuff also by jumping. This is a good tip for healers ^^ ( thanks for the info, ncoffey )

P.S.: remember that she casts a tail sweep to players behind like Onyxia, so try to dps on the sides.

2nd Edit: changed the "pet" part, according to Carebear. Thanks mate. Instead, i've added a suggestion for hunters if they are having troubles with their steady shots, since they're great part of their dps.

Comentario de jaxsonbateman

Due to Crystal Chains (immobilisation ability; magic debuff) you are going to want to bring a pally or priest for this one. Otherwise, to have any hope of completing the achievement (beyond extraordinary luck) the party will all need Free Action/Living Action potions.

Aside from that, move as much as possible, and use instant casts where you can. I know when I go for this (as a healadin) my Holy Shock button will get a workout, and I'll prob use Lay on Hands at some point to make things a bit easier.

Comentario de gamemaniak

There is no need to move around, just jump. Jumping will just aswell remove the debuff or prevent it from getting applied to you.

I do have one question though, if you're resto shaman, how do you complete this achievement requirement? You can heal up the dps and yourself with a few riptides I guess, but what about the tank? The boss doesn't exactly hit like lightly. Boss hits for like 1.5k(melee on plate) on normal mode. I'm sure on heroic mode, she hits a lot harder.

Comentario de 189712

Might be a bit obvious, but still:
No problem as a mage, just blink out of the roots (and of course move a bit after every cast).

Comentario de 254068

As a protection warrior with the Warbringer talent, you can use intervene to free yourself from the chains. It is however possible for her to cast it more frequently than the cooldown of Intervene (she doesn't always, just it is possible) so have a free action potion ready, or if a gnome/human, be ready with escape artist/every man for himself.

Comentario de 204105

Easily done with Druids, shift out and in to get rid of the Crystal Chains.

I found an easy solution with any class is to wiggle, using the strafe buttons, if you haven't unbound them.
Strafing is considerably faster than jumping.

For Feral Druids: Just move constantly, wiggling with your strafe buttons, Q and E by default. Shifting may be risky for you, but you should be fine.
Resto: This fight should be easy enough that you don't need to cast HT. All of your other casts, if any at all, are under 2 seconds.
Moonkin: Normal Starfire/Wrath rotation works, but Starfire takes longer to cast than Wrath, obviously. If you're having trouble getting the achievement, just IS+Wrath.

Comentario de shibbidydoo

for hunters, Beastial wrath and master's call will solve all your problems.

Comentario de Mutti

For those classes that don't have many root-breaking abilities, using your pvp trinket will free you from Crystal Chains

Comentario de 261115

as a resto shaman i can see this one being a real pain in the ass, no escape abilities and most of my heals are long cast times

Comentario de Ritavu

A discipline priest with 2/2 Focused Power can mass dispel in .5 seconds or less (depending on haste). With proper positioning and a good connection, the priest should be able to dispel the Crystal Chains from the entire party before Intense Cold stacks up to 3.

As long as the rest of the group is jumping and keeping their stacks down to 0 or 1, anyone in the party should be able to achieve this.

Comentario de 105215

Yeah. Does anyone have any strategies for Resto Shaman?

The only thing I can think of is the PvP trinket. But those Crystal Chains are casted so often.

Comentario de 256244

question for earning this achievement for a shaman like myself.
i recently specced for the earthbind totem to remove snare effects 100% everytime it pulses. does this remove crystal chains as well?

Comentario de Merylyan

For my fellow gnomes :

It is obvious that Escape Artist removes Crystal Chains. But the long cooldown means you have to use it wisely.

Comentario de 131305

this might be a bit party unfriendly but as the range on intense cold is only 50yards, could you just stay at 51yrds + and still get the achievement ?

Comentario de Shadowstabs

This can be pretty easily done as a rogue.

You've got Cloak of Shadows, the 2 point Combat talent Improved Sprint that will give you 100% chance to remove all movement impairing effects, and the PvP trinket (or Every Man for Himself).

Assuming you have all 3 of those (or maybe more, if you're a Gnome for example), you'll be prepared to break the chains as soon as they come and get your achievement as i've never been in an encounter with her wherin she has cast the chain spell more than 3 times.

Comentario de 88768

For Feral Tanking druids. It's been said that shifting out is risky. This is very true, however, try this:

/cast !Dire Bear Form

You can only cast it in bear form, and u stay in bearform. It also gives you upto 10 rage.

Never got more than 1 stack of the debuff.

Comentario de Klott402

Can Crystal Chains be resisted by stacking Frost Resistance?
Has this been tried yet?

Comentario de aeonvix

Warlocks can get out of the Crystal Chains by using the Demonic Circle: Teleport ability. Just remember to have the Demonic Circle: Summon cast at the begining of the fight.

Since it has a 30s cooldown, I'd advise to have a Free Action Potion ready and a PVP medallion/ Every Man for Himself if you are human, just in case ;)

Comentario de 123519

I just accomplished this achievement on my Resto Shammy.

First chains, a pally dispelled me. (Thanks Surf!)

Before second chains, I downed a Free Action Potion. I was good for the rest of the fight then.

MAX RANGE (the door way) and jump continually - Earth Sheild and Rip tide was all I needed on the main tank... no one else took any damage. I did need to pop one of my haste trinkets towards the end, and lost the tank at 1%, but we were able to still down the boss. The entire party (including the dead bear) got the achievement.

It is achievable with a resto shammy as long as you have a pally or priest to dispell and use a pot.

Comentario de Nightshade90

Did this easily as Resto Druid. I was constantly moving throughout the whole fight casting hots and stopped only to Nourish when some relatively big spike occured. When he uses that nova spell, simply shapeshift out of it and keep moving. Easy.

Comentario de Raxiel

A Paladin's Hand of Freedom can also remove the chains.

Comentario de saepaan

As a paladin, of whom already have this achievement, I usually agree with someone in the group if anyone in particular wants the achievement. That way I keep an eye out on the individual, dispelling every snaring casted by the last boss.

Fellow priests and warriors of the holy light, there's money to be made!

Comentario de 117919

When we first attempted this boss at heroic.. I was like.. damn this is gonna be easy.
But after she casted like 3-4 of those chain, all I could think was never... gonna.. happen.
Unless im stacking trinkes / pots etc or FrR :s

Comentario de 249594

Get a good Disc Priest with 2/2 Focused Power--.5s Mass Dispel = achievement for whole party. =)

Comentario de madspiderman

I wonder if one of you can die and get the achievment since it never stacked on you for more then 2 and your group downed her.

Comentario de 104695

For Death Knights: Anti-Magic Shell prevents you from gain more stacks of Intensive Cold, it will not remove the stacks though.

It should also prevent Crystal Chains however timing it can be difficult and when you are chained you will want to use AMS to stop you from getting over two stacks.

Comentario de Cryptonyxx

For Death Knights;

If you are human, use your "Every man for himself" ability on the first chains, second, use anti-magic shell to cancel the debuff.

If you are not human; use anti-magic shell, and also have a insignia of the alliance trinket to remove chains second time.

Any more chains than that you'll be needing help from someone else.

Comentario de 304300

This achievement is just too easy for an Human Unholy specced DK:

Keep moving/jumping and DPSing the boss, and when you get frozen the first time use your racial to escape.

Second time through, keep DPSing and just maybe 2-3 seconds before you're about to get rooted (I'm assuming you have DBM) use AMS. This will negate the effects of the Crystallize.

And if it looks like she's going to be able to get crystallize off a third time, pop AMZ 2-3 seconds before and you're home free.

Hope this helps.

Comentario de GhostFlight

If your group doesnt mind, everyone goes in the room and dps's the boss while the person who needs the achievement hits the boss once and runs out of the room so he/she doesn't get the debuff or Frozen in place.

~Ghöst@Spinebreaker

Comentario de Vinneh

As a DK you can use anti-magic shell before she casts it and that will prevent you from getting rooted, if you have a pvp trinket ready for the second time she casts it that should be more than enough with good dps.

Comentario de sk8nguitar

Did this as a Human Death Knight Tank. Only got chained twice, first time I was chained I used Every Man for Himself to free me. Then the 2nd time I got chained I used my Anti-Magic Shell so it made me completely immune to the debuff stacking at all.

Other then that I just hit the space bar over and over and kept jumping in place spamming my ability. I actually didn't even know it was an achievement until I got it, I was just mainly trying to keep as much damage off me as possible :P.

Comentario de Cryptonyxx

Are you people even bothering to check if you what your saying is already up? I've seen the same thing bout 4 times now.

Comentario de 166293

Warrior tanks this is how I did it!

Get a https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=5634 from AH.
As soon as you pull her start jumping and just spam jump all the time while sundering keep on jumping all the time while doing this look around you and find some party member who you can intervene. When she will chain you to the ground immediately intervene to a partymember (as a tank you should have warbringer talent that will free you from the chains) now after you are free use the https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=5634 you bought from AH it will give you 30sec immune to the ice chain she uses as soon as the effect of free action potion has ended you can use once again intervene. If you are a gnome use escape artist as last ability (meaning you will use Intervene -> Free Action Potion -> Intervene -> Escape Artist) alltho as a gnome I didn't need to use escape artist so it is posssible for Nelfs and Dwarfs too who don't have Escape Artist and Every Man For Himself.

Shortly: 1. Jump all the time. 2. Intervene when you get first time chained. 3. After intervene use https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=5634 . 4. Intervene on second chain. (5. Gnomes and Human use Escape Artist and Every Man For Himself as last ability after 2 intervenes and free action potion if you get chained for third time.)

Edit: This is individual achievement meaning YOU GET IT even if others in party fail in it.

Comentario de 289515

anyone know if feral spirit will break this?

Comentario de Warninggizmo

How I did this Achievement. - Experiment, Enhancement Shaman on Garrosh

1. Pull boss, pop Free action Potion (30 seconds) within 10 seconds after pull
2. At this point I had resisted two Freezes, The next freeze I Popped my PvP trinket. 3 Ice breaks.
3. Popped Spirit Wolfs, the last freeze popped and I used Spirit Walk to Get out of Chains.
4. Dead Boss.

The trick to this boss is awesome DPS. If you can get 2 or more Chains to be casted on your 30 immunity with free action potion, it helps enormously.

Always have a PvP Trinket just in case.

(I believe the Chains are based on percentages? If this is the case, Free action potion = Win)

Comentario de 339025

How would i do it as a Human Warlock? ya i have the Every Man For Himself Spell, but what if she trapps me again before the CD is ready?

Comentario de silverd

Has anybody tried just plain killing themselves at the start of the fight? I mean most achievement hunting groups will be geared enough to 4-man it. From what I can tell, all the guys that died and got the achievement died near the end. I'm just wondering if anybody has tried just getting naked at the start, and aggroing Keristraza to get themselves killed then letting their group finish her off.

Comentario de 258402

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=5951
These have no cooldown either, so go do the quest get your item then go get your achievement.

Comentario de 357586

Shamans can put down a Frost Resistance Totem for the group because it is possible for someone to resist the Crystal Chains.

Enhancement Shamans may also use their Feral Spirit's Spirit Walk ability. Spirit Walk will not only give you +60% movement for 15 seconds but it also breaks out of immobilize effects.

I do not know the cooldown for Spirit Walk but count on it only helping you once. If your group if good enough, you'll only fight through 1 or 2 Crystal Chains and you can be lucky to resist one of the Crystal Chains and Spirit Walk out of the second one.

That is how I got the achievement as an Enh Shaman. ^_^

Comentario de BobTheGreat

OK, here's how i did it as a death knight, wasn't very hard. All you'll need are Free Action Potion and Moist Towelette.
Keep jumping from the start of the fight, after about 5-10 seconds into the fight, i used the free action potion, and you just keep jumping, you won't be affected by the crystallize until it wears off. Once the free action potion wears off, use Anti-Magic shell for the next crystallize. For the rest of the fight, use the moist towelette's. IF your group's dps is high enough, you may not need to use any moist towelettes.

Comentario de 387439

Question: if your pet gets Chains and gets 3 stacks does the hunter get the achievement?

Comentario de 423228

Just got the acheivment, she only casted the root once, we all trinqueted out of it an manged to get the acheivment, draw of the luck i guess.

Comentario de 292117

did it yesterday and it was easy doable altho we had 1 bad attempt where we decided to let it be a wipe...
we used 2 dps, 1 healer and 1 dispeller. ( me as a holy priest)
the dps the healer and me were standing very close to eachother at the side of the dragon and close to the tank. if someone was chained, the whole group was chained and i cast mass dispell ASAP ! the range is 30 yards so everybody was in it. i made a macro /target tank & /cats dispell for the occasions where the tankgot chained and not the rest of the group. (happend 2 or 3 times) .
we failed 1 time cos someone forgot to move, but the 2nd try was easy. It must say we had a good geared group so it is maybe a little more chalenging with a group in heroic blue.

Comentario de glViolett

achiev looks bugged now - I got 4 stacks of debuff during fight due to frost nova and stil get an achiev

Comentario de Freeze

Easily done for everyone with https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=30344 (or any other version) and https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=20008

Comentario de 427528

ok i just found a way to do it when she freezes everyone right before she does it run to one of the doors and stay there run back to dps and when its about 5 secs left run to the doors and also bring a debuffer to let the tank get it to she wont freeze those near the dor so the ones near the door run around and soon u get ur acheive

Comentario de 212676

When I got the achievement we all stacked around the tank and our priest just dispelled the debuff when she used crystal chains. I haven't seen anyone else mention the debuff can be dispelled.

Comentario de 492639

A nice thing to know is that if you die before she casts Intense Cold and then the rest of the group defeats her you obtain this achievement...

...Being a noob has a use after all!

Comentario de 29970

The range on Crystal Chains is 45 yards. Simply be out of range when she casts this and you can avoid ever being chained at all.

Comentario de Guanyin

I managed to get an entire group through this one as a shadow priest. Since the normal "dispell magic" is an instant spell, no cooldown, it wasn't too hard to free others in time. Any proper addon (I used Grid) can be really helpful. It resulted in my dps being the 2nd lowest but the others didn't mind at all when they got the achievement.

Comentario de Daish

Comentario de TuraTreesus

anyone know if feign death works for hunters? either dispelling the chains, or not giving them to you in the first place?

Comentario de 535288

Very easy achievement if you are a Warrior. What I did was queue as DPS, and when I got to the fight, got naked, went Protection and attempted to tank it. I died in about 10 seconds and got the achievement.

Comentario de Modibybob

Demonic Circle: Teleport works for warlocks.

Comentario de Vlaz

So....How do warlocks do this?

Also, just tried this, was jumping (at the cost of DPS) and she froze me in the air. Not kidding.

Comentario de 59417

A Living Action Potion will also break the root. Between that and my PvP trinket, I was able to earn this.

Comentario de Chawor

I don't think that will work if you want the achievement. I don't suppose she'll cast it if you're feigned, but you'll probably get lots of stacks of intense cold from it. :)

Comentario de 354709

With some dose of luck you won't need anything else (luck, in this case=experienced, well geared group - around 5k gs).
I got group like this, was healing on my shammy (didn't even remember about this achv). When we pulled her we popped hero and other cds, I dpsed her a bit too, and we downed her the very moment she rooted us - boom, achievement earned!

Comentario de 229947

why does everyone think jumping is such a great idea? sure for a melee maybe as everything's instant and they might not want to move, but for a caster, it's very stupid.

let me elaborate:

any movement at all dispells the cold. Even one tap of a movement button is enough.
A jump launches you into the air for about 0.5 seconds.
A tap of a movement key takes 0.1-0.2 seconds.

a caster only really does damage only when standing still, fireball starfire, etc...

you are making this a lot harder for yourself by wasting time in the air instead of dpsing.

PvP Trinket the first, then !@# before the next cast. Most groups will have it dead before then.
