wow Tomb of Sargeras - Maiden of Vigilance Boss Preview

[Stan 5,022]

Maiden of Vigilance is the seventh boss inside the Tomb of Sargeras raid. We're looking at her abilities and loot tables.

Overall, it's a fun encounter. The key is to stand near players with the same buff (Light Infusion or Fel Infusion) and during fragment collection, you need to collect fragments that match your color, otherwise it will trigger Unstable Soul. You can get rid of it by jumping inside the pit (Aegwynn's Ward) when Unstable Soul is just about to expire. The timing's crucial and may take some practice, because if you jump too soon, you'll die.

Maiden of Vigilance

Charged by Aegwynn to defend the Tomb of Sargeras, the Maiden of Vigilance has stood watch for hundreds of years. Yet, the guardian did not forsee what effect that avatar's seeping fel energy would have on this titan construct Slowly warped by this maleficence, the Maiden now seeks to destroy any in her path.

Overview

The Maiden of Vigilance has been partially corrupted by the Legion, and wields both Holy and Fel magic in equal proportion.

Periodically, all players will be infused with either Light Infusion or Fel Infusion. When players with opposing auras move too close together, the magics within them will react, triggering Unstable Soul.

Unstable Soul is also triggered by touching Fragments or taking damage from Hammers of an opposite element from your Infusion.

 In Mythic difficulty, Fragments not collected by players will trigger Fragment Burst.
