The usual thread. We've crafted our gear, now read about why :)

Beams

Constantly throughout the fight, Mother Shahraz is going to shoot 1 of 4 different Beams at a random player. Each beam "chains" to a total of any 10 players, and most of them do shadow damage. She will shoot 1 type of beam 3 times in a row and then switch to another type of beam. They are as follows:

Sinister Beam - Deals 2000 shadow damage and does a small knockback to affected targets. This knockback effect does not affect the 3 tanks.

Sinful Beam - Deals 6938 to 8062 shadow damage.

Vile Beam - Applies a debuff causing 2500 shadow damage every 2 seconds for 8 seconds.

Wicked Beam - Drains 1000 mana from affected targets. Not affected by Shadow Resistance.

Fatal Attraction

Teleports 1-3 players to a random location, giving them a debuff called Fatal Attraction that deals 2500 damage per tick, to all players in a 25 yard radius, every second for a total of 30 seconds. The debuff itself is not dispellable or removable, but Iceblock and Divine Shield make you immune to the damage component. The debuff disappears as soon as all of the players with it are 25 yards away from each other.

This ability DOES NOT affect the 3 main tanks.

Saber Lash

Deals a base value of 76000 to 84000 physical damage spread out amongst everyone in 1-2 yards range from the target highest on aggro (the main tank). To survive this ability, you need to have your 3 tanks stacked on top of each other so that the Saber Lash affects them all and spreads out the damage evenly between them.

Prismatic Auras

Every 15 seconds, Mother Shahraz will switch between each of her Prismatic Auras. A Prismatic Aura can be seen as a debuff on each player. They affect everyone in the raid within 99 yards of Mother Shahraz. Each Prismatic Aura reduces damage done by one spell school, while increasing the damage done by another spell school.

yeah I'm replying to myself. There is an EJ thread (http://elitistjerks.com/f15/t14726-mother_shahraz_question/p26/) I'll link in to late, as usual there are some good tips, and as usual the early discussion involves a version of the fight we won't have to deal with. I was most interested in the tanking bits, and found a few items we might want to consider:

No SR on the MT, medium SR on the OTs.
Some suggest that the OTs do not attack at all in order to avoid the risk of attacks getting parried.
Consensus seems to be that saber lash can not crit (not entirely sure) or crush (seems to be the case), so the stats to stack to offtank are definitely health, armor, and resist.

The one camp strategy seems to be the popular choice these days, and some suggested putting Shahraz and the raid along one of the walls, to get them out of the way of the majority of teleport destinations (I'm not sure if these are random, or predetermined locations).

reviewing this. Sounds pretty easy, especially since they removed the parry haste so the off tanks can do damage as well now to bring her down even faster.
