Distracting Shot is a nice 6-second taunt which gets Deformed adds moving at you, then back to the tank. Any ranged can burn it down while it moves.

Watch where you’re standing, and if needed run further away or Feign as it gets close.

Just be sure your tanks know what you’re doing, or they may taunt it back.

I tend to see casters and healers get ghosted more than others, I guess its due to the desire to finish the cast before they move. Personally I hate the damn things, they remind me of the constructs on Gorefiend. Only an issue if you don’t pay attention.

By allowing more dps on the boss, and by decreasing the mana pool, Blizzard burned phase 1 time at both ends. It went really quick last night. The changes did not stop people from dying from ghosts, though…

It felt incredibly nerfed. But it may have been a bit nerfed and because we had 40 raiders and only 25 slots so we got to get an ideal raid group.

I was benched this week, so I’m still waiting to see the new nerfed version :P

lol, this fight was actually difficult when you first do it with a fresh raid group that hasn’t seen it before. But once you know what you’re doing, this fight is just cake.

And they just nerfed the SHIT out of it this past week. Lady Deathwhisper’s got less health/mana/something like that, and all the adds have less health. It’s pure cake now, presuming the DPS aren’t retarded.

Apparently I don’t know left from my right. I meant the RIGHT side where there’s double adherents. Pardon my nub.

On the left side adds, where there’s two Adherents, I’ll freezing arrow the Adherent furthest from The Lady. No need to tank it, free lock and load, pwn the one closest to her, Win Win Win. The strat works best on 10 man where there’s no MC to worry about needing your freezing arrow for, but I can certainly help in 25 as well, since there’s usually so much CC out there for the MC’d players.

And while pew pew’ing your fellow raiders is obviously bad for the raid, Killing someone while MC’d gives you 3 epeen points.

Oh, one more thing. Lady D doesn’t have a meaningful agro table in phase 1, so feel free to open up on her at any time you can in phase one. Do watch your threat carefully in phase two, though, because she has a normal threat table at this time and casts a stacking threat-reducing debuff on tanks. If a tank screws up on the debuff stacks or something, you could quickly gain agro.

Just a few things:
Reanimation is not random and seems to always be preceded by the use of Dark Martyrdom by the add. So, when you see an add explode, be ready for it to come back as a skeleton. Don’t stand next to it when it explodes, though, or you might get owned.

You can Tranq Shot the Empowered Fanatic’s vampiric buff. I believe it can also be stolen by mages.

Pets can be left on the boss the whole fight. I sometimes pull my wolf off and pop Dash if I find I’m the only dps on an Adherent, though.

Vengeful Shades will only run for a short distance before disappearing. If one is following you, just run 15 meters or so and you should be fine.
I don’t believe that the adherents have the Shroud right when they come out.

The adds always appear in a particular pattern, with the exception of the one add at the door in 25man. If I remember right, it’s two fanatics and one adherent on the left side (facing the boss) and one fanatic and two adherenets on the right side. Only one side will spawn each wave in 10man (it alternates predictably), and both sides plus the door will spawn each wave in 25man. In situations where you’re on, say, fanatics, it can help to MD the second fanatic on the left side to the tank.
