Heroic Lady Deathwhisper = Pac Man

There is 1 rule to this boss. 1 rule only.

Rule 1. RUN AWAY FROM GHOSTS!!!

We call her the pac man boss cause you need to always be running from ghosts. Everything comes secondary to that.

Kill adds? Run from ghosts first!

Interrupt the boss when she casts frostbolt volley? Run from ghosts first!

Move the boss to a safe place? Run from ghosts first!

Put crowd control on the Mind Controled raid members? Ok do this while you are runing from ghosts!

Pick your nose? Run from ghosts first!

We have killed her before in heroic. It was always a mess. Last night we tried to kill her on heroic but we seemed to keep forgetting rule #1. We tried 6 times to kill her on heroic before changing to normal and still failing at Rule #1 but since it was normal she got dead.

WoL conveniently has a death log that logs the last 50 actions on each death. That usually equates to between 5 and 10 seconds of play. Out of those 6 tries here is the breakdown of how many times people died where not runing from ghosts was a contributing factor.

DK 1, Tank on adds. 2 out of 5 deaths

DK 2, DPS. (this is me) 2 out of 5 deaths

DK 3, DPS. 2 out of 6 deaths

DRUID 1, Healer. 7 out of 11 deaths

DRUID 2, Mele DPS. 1 out of 7 deaths

HUNTER 1. 0 out of 2 deaths

HUNTER 2. 2 out of 4 deaths

MAGE 1. 2 out of 4 deaths

MAGE 2. 2 out of 3 deaths

PALADIN 1. Healer. 4 out of 7 deaths

PALADIN 2. Healer. 3 out of 9 deaths

PALADIN 3. Ret. 1 out of 6 deaths

PALADIN 4. Ret 3 out of 5 deaths

PRIEST 1. Healer. 2 out of 7 deaths

ROGUE 1. 1 out of 5 deaths

ROGUE 2. 1 out of 6 deaths

SHAMAN 1. Healer. 3 out of 8 deaths

SHAMAN 2. Mele DPS. 3 out of 5 deaths

WARLOCK 1. 2 out of 4 deaths

WARLOCK 2. 4 out of 6 deaths

WARLOCK 3. 2 out of 4 deaths

WARRIOR 1. Mele DPS. 2 out of 5 deaths

WARRIOR 2. Tank on boss. 2 out of 6 deaths

WARRIOR 3. Tank on boss. 1 out of 6 deaths (got hit on 4 tries but healed to full before death on 3)

That is a grand total of 54 out of 136 deaths that had a ghost contributing, from 6 wipes. 40% of the deaths came from being hit by the ghosts. If we could have avoided these ghost deaths then I know we could have killed her and gotten me some shiny new boots.

If you ever get in, or in now, a top end guild who tries Lady Deathwhisper on 25 man hard mode and want to be considered a good player...

REMEMBER RULE 1. RUN AWAY FROM GHOSTS!!!
