10.

  • Minor Slots
    • The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3: Ancient Flame Icon Ancient Flame
    • EssenceoftheFocusingIris — Rank 3: Focused Energy Icon Focused Energy
10.1.

Tips

In Phase One, do not use Charge Icon Charge against the Overzealous Hulk, or it will become immune to stuns. Otherwise, avoid damaging effects on the ground and deal damage to the mini-bosses until the phase ends.

Phase Two is largely tunneling the boss, occasionally moving around the pillar to line of sight her Arcane Burst Icon Arcane Burst/Arcane Detonation Icon Arcane Detonation or standing in a Ward of Power Icon Ward of Power to recharge it — this applies a 2-minute debuff which removes 10% of maximum health with each stack, so do not let it go beyond 5.

Phase Three spawns adds which take priority over the boss. Although you can cleave them with Sweeping Strikes Icon Sweeping Strikes, take care to ensure you are hitting the Tidemistress and Queen, without damaging the Loyal Myrmidon, as it is very easy to kill prematurely. Your Drained Soul Icon Drained Soul debuff will typically fall during this phase or the next, so ensure you soak another Ward of Power Icon Ward of Power when appropriate.

Phase Four is a single-target burn on the boss, while avoiding ground effects. You may randomly gain Essence of Azeroth Icon Essence of Azeroth, which will grant a large buff that automatically kills you after 40 seconds; if that happens, ensure you use all remaining cooldowns during that time.

For more information, please refer to our Queen Azshara strategy guide.
