Boss Guide: Maiden of Vigilance (Tomb of Sargeras) | World of Warcraft GamePlay Guides

Background

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 foresee what effect the 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

You will fight the boss on a circular platform in which there is a hole in the middle.
There are two debuffs in this fight that players will get periodically.
Players will get either Light Infusion or Fel Infusion.
If a light debuff player comes close to a Fel debuff player, they will trigger Unstable Soul.
If a player takes damage from the opposite energy, they will trigger Unstable Soul.
Unstable soul does massive damage to the entire raid when debuff has passed.
The key in this fight is to master boss abilities in order to avoid getting Unstable Soul debuff.
In phase 1, players need to stand on the left and right side of her based on the debuff they get.
In phase 2, players need to run to the opposite side of the platform and attack a shield on the boss that does AoE damage until interrupted which can only be done after shield is broken.

Tactics below will cover how to master this fight and end with a nice boss kill. Good luck!
