Lore
The Sisters of the Moon are the fourth boss in the Tomb of Sargeras.
The Sisters of the Moon served as wardens for the temple long before the avatar of Sargeras was buried beneath it. Even in death, the sisters maintained their vigil, but over the millennia something twisted their ability to distinguish friend from foe. Their madness slowly consumed them, and now any who enter their sacred chambers are put to death.
Outline
The fight against the Sisters of the Moon is a three phase encounter, with a different sister being the active boss in each phase. The other two sisters will be unassailable during this time but will still perform mechanics to watch out for. The Sisters of the Moon do share a health pool, however, and they will all go down together. The raid begins against Huntress Kasparian, who engages the raid until 70% health. Captain Yathae Moonstrike will then take over along with her ally Moontalon. Finally, at 40% health, Priestess Lunaspyre will battle the raid until the end.
Here is a preview of the LFR difficulty from the PTR.
TL;DR
Tanks
- When Huntress Kasparian is active, ensure
Moon Glaive hits the maximum number of targets and clear the
Discorporate debuff by triggering
Astral Purge.
- Pick up and tank Moontalon when it spawns while Captain Yathae Moonstrike is active.
- When Priestess Lunaspyre is active, perform a taunt swap when you reach
5+ stacks of
Lunar Fire.
Healers
- Pay careful attention to the raid's health when
Incorporeal Shot is happening.
- Coordinate throughput healing cooldowns for
Embrace of the Eclipse.
- When Moontalon begins to spam
Deathly Screech be ready to spam the tank and melee stack with healing.
Glaive Storm and
Spectral Glaive can quickly chunk the raid and will require quick surgical healing.
DPS
- Focus down Moontalon and quickly finish it when it falls below
25% to minimize damage from
Deathly Screech.
- Do as much damage as possible to the shielded target during
Embrace of the Eclipse.
Everyone
- Trigger
Astral Purge if your
Umbra Suffusion or
Lunar Suffusion stacks get too high, or you are targeted by a mechanic that deals damage matching your current suffusion.
- Stand in line with the player targeted by
Incorporeal Shot to split the damage.
- Avoid any incidental damage from
Twilight Glaive and
Glaive Storm.
- Avoid
Twilight Volley.
- Trigger
Astral Purge to clear
Moon Burn.
- Avoid the barrage triggered at the end of
Lunar Beacon.
Positioning
Positioning during this encounter is very flexible, as it is largely a
personal responsibility encounter fixated on avoiding projectile based
mechanics. During Incorporeal Shot the raid will want to stack
as many members as possible in the line to split the damage. Otherwise,
a clean spread throughout the room is most ideal to ensure minimal movement
from projectiles targeting individuals.
Bloodlust/Heroism/Time Warp
We advise you to use Bloodlust/
Heroism/
Time Warp
when Priestess Lunaspyre becomes active. This is the longest and most difficult
phase of the fight and
Bloodlust is very benefical to both damage and
healing in this phase. This is not set in stone, however, and it can be used
in whatever phase the group is struggling with the most. Using it on the pull
is best for damage efficiency, and using it in the second phase can be helpful
in eliminating Moontalon quickly.
