Lady Vashj Tips

Lady Vashj was born more than ten thousand years ago in the city of Zin-Azshari, capital of the night elves. Today, Vashj resides in the Serpentshrine Cavern.

Vashj leans on her combat abilities more than her magic, but she is still a formidable sorceress. Her only rivals with the bow are Shandris Feathermoon and the Windrunner sisters. Her longbow, Frostfathom, was crafted by the Moonguard and enchanted by Queen Azshara. Lady Vashj favors wind and water elemental powers when casting offensively. A retinue of naga myrmidon bodyguards always accompanies her.

History

To this day, Lady Vashj still serves her master Illidan in the wastes of Outland. Though her heart and loyalties lie with her Queen and her race, Vashj enjoys working with Illidan and sowing discord and terror wherever she can. Today, Vashj is the final boss of Serpentshrine Cavern in Coilfang Reservoir.

After the Sundering ten thousand years ago, Illidan had taken seven vials containing the waters of the Well of Eternity in order to create a new one at the top of Mt. Hyjal. Illidan used three to create the new Well of Eternity, but it was not known what happened to the other four until recently. It was revealed that Vashj received one of these vials, as did Kael'thas Sunstrider. In order to access the Battle of Mount Hyjal in the Caverns of Time, one must complete The Vials of Eternity. The players must then slay Vashj and retrieve Vashj's Vial Remnant. This quest also requires players to defeat Kael'thas.

General Tips

• One Shaman should be in the MT group and permanently keep a Grounding Totem up in order to nullify the Shock Burst.
• During the Phase 2, she's immune to all kind of damage, but she doesn't use any ability, except forked lightening. To damage her, you must throw a Tainted Core on one of the four Shield Generator. When the four generators are destroyed, phase 3 begins.
• Phase 3 is basicaly an other phase 1, with a twist - Toxic Spore Bats start to spawn. They come slowly at first, but gradually their number increases to the point where it becomes very hard to avoid the AoE poison. This usually occurs at around four minutes into the Phase.
