By letting any Twilight Volunteer reach Jedoga Shadowseeker, she gets a 200% Damage Buff. For example Fearlina in Naxxramas gets a 150% enrage Buff.

Its not impossible to Heal the Tank while she got the Buff. BUT she will cast a Claive right after she got the Buff, so all melees need to stand away from her, after she comes down.

Not so Hard achievment, best way to do is, only have Ranged DPS in your Group.

Here's a guide on how to get this achievment

When Jedoga flies up above she will call for a volunteer, simply do not kill the volunteer, let it walk into the circle and sacrifice itself, you should just then heal the tank through the enrage

Here's ways to help with the tank's survivability:
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=33206 =be sure you watch Omen when this is applied to the main tank
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=10278 =not the best ability but we simply slowed down our dps when this was used
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=871 =one of the easiest ways to live through the enrage
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=10901 =good enough to take one or two hits from the boss
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=676 =removes her weapon, reducing the amount of damage she does by a lot

Or, if any of your party members already have the achievment they could sit out to let another healer in, or have another person in your party help heal along with the main healer. Also make sure all melee stay a good distance away from the boss during the enrage as her whirlwind might be powerful enough to one shot you.

Have fun!

DISARMABLE nuff said

Comment by Serai

our group found it harder to actually not get this achievement, the ads have a fair bit of hp you need to nuke in a short time

Comment by Ezekeil

Why not just tank her on the far side of the instance?
all u gotta do is tank her 20 seconds away from her volunteer area.
Long fight easy rewards

Comment by clavarnway

I did this today.

1.) Disarm/Dismantle her during buff. Note that Chimera Shot spec'd Hunters can also Disarm.

2.) When she is buffed, make sure no melee DPS is standing near her. She does an AOE that when buffed will 1 shot alot of melee.

3.) Make sure people avoid the AOE on the ground, including you.

4.) Use cooldowns to survive. You can dodge/parry/miss the 16k+ damage ability she does during the buff - that's the ability that can really mess you up if you get connected with a couple of white hits without some heals inbetween.

5.) After the buff is gone melee dps can move back in.

Comment by pik4chu

Did this today, striaght up tanked her as a prot paladin in badge/heroic gear. She hit me for around 12k each swing which was easy for the shaman to heal through since she doesn't swing very fast (and I have decent avoidance) and the shadow priest didnt even need to help heal. Just must be absolutely sure to get out of the cyclone strike. Another helpful factor was not having any melee since every time Ive done it the melee always get hit by cyclone because they are not paying attention and when she is enraged it would one shot them lol. But it is certainly doable with melee, and a warrior or rogue would be helpful even for disarm/dismantle but it was too bad. Its basically a dps race, dps must burn her fast to force her to sacrifice before the healer runs out of mana. Honestly it was easier than I expected to be and only took us 1 wipe to get it right. I also did not use any bubble or bubble wall or LoH, just was not necessary but of course would have made it a bit easier.

Party setup was:
Paladin, prot(me), 553def skill, 26k armor, 32k hp buffed. ~60% avoidance
Shadow priest in capped hit and 350 haste and 2k spellpower
Mage (not sure spec, I think frost) with near capped hit and 1800 spellpower
Shaman, resto, 1800 spellpower
Warlock, destro, 1750 spellpower

This achiv. seems to be "hard" yet it's not that hard
we have tried it several times with diffrent tactics, we even tried 2 tanks standing far away from each other and taunting her b4 she reaches the other tank (which is not really possiable since taunt cooldown is longer then the time she run to the tank)

anyway while tring the 2 tanks tactics, 1st tank died, so i said , grr ffs i'll just tank her. since i knew it's gonna be a big problem to heal i decided to "kite tank" meaning hit once and always walk backwards during her enrage.
doing that made this EXTERMLY easy, because she he so slow i bearly needed a heal and i avoided all the cyclone strikes

seems every one of those achiv got a trick, just need to find it

Comment by jaxsonbateman

I've done this achievement on two separate occasions now, and it's fairly simple.

Most of the fight proceeds as normal. However, when she comes down... run. Run like a headless chicken. You can't leave the platform as you aggro other mobs if you, but kite her in a circle so that she gets far fewer hits on you than she normally would, and so her Cyclone Strike has no chance of hitting you (as you're already moving away from her when she starts casting it). Also have melee stay out until her enrage dissipates.

Make sure the dps is watching Omen at this point - it's not fatal if they pull as you can taunt back, but it does make things trickier than they have to be.

Comment by Hevnlyst

Got this today, with an all melee group with 1 healer ( me, disc priest ). A warrior tank makes this boss cake. We didn't have to kite, and I (sadly) let all the melee eat the cyclone on purpose. Me and the prot warrior 2-man'd from 75%. The less melee, the better on this boss.

Just disarm the boss, and it is beyond trivial. She doesn't hit to hard with weapon, un-enraged.
The time it took us to kill the boss let the warrior disarm cd be up for each enrage. And warriors also have shield wall as a backup plan.

Comment by Garosh

4 manned this achievement with a feral druid healing (good resto gear) we didn't kite at all, just disarmed when she enraged (warrior tank 1st time, me as dps warr second time , then tank again). tank used all cooldowns and trinkets. we were surprised we succeeded =)

Comment by darknesscalls

Did this as a Frost DK tank, we had neither a warrior or rogue, so no disarm was available.

First time she was enraged, I used Lichborne
(https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=49039)

Second time, I used Unbreakable Armor and my Dodge trinket

Third time, I popped Army of the Dead before she landed.

We had no melee DPSers in our group, but make sure you watch out for her whirlwind, it will one shot you. And of course, ranged need to stay out of the thunderstorms she creates on the ground while she's enraged.

Overall though, easy achievement, but my DK is currently 4/5 t7, so I think with any well geared tank, it's quite simple.

Comment by 296469

There is a way easier way to do this, kill all the mobs in the room first and then the whole group starts the event, as soon as she starts levitating run and jump over the waterfall and run back up the stairs u came in by the time she gets to u the enrage has worn off and dps her there and shell run back to get enraged again stay on the stairs and shell keep running back and forth, easiest way without a doubt

Comment by belasta

Easy achievement really, clear all the way to her, start the event, and run right back to the small cave exit you came through after the previous boss. Burn her. Done.

Did this, got it the first time 3 of us were in the instance.

EDIT: No longer possible, she resets at the bottom of the stairs.

Comment by swimmer26535

Did this the other day and really wondered how it was hard. Had a feral druid and a warrior in party. Initially had the warrior and feral druid bounce her around with taunts however the feral druid we realized was taking less than half his health in damage from her when she was enraged. Really not hard to heal with a feral druid tank w/o any special mitigation.

Comment by Bobblybook

As of patch 3.0.8, our group kept dropping combat once we got to the end of the pool, using the kite-to-entrance method posted above. Just before 3.0.8 hit I did this achievement with the same strat with no problem, so it's most likely been nerfed.

Comment by 89458

She will now reset if you attempt to move her down the waterfall. You are intended to have a well geared tank tanking her through the enrage and using disarm to avoid the cyclone strikes. Rogues can also use dismantle.

Your tank should also keep her on the move with melee dpsing from behind. That way melee will have just enough time to run away from her when she casts cyclone strike.

Comment by 313008

Done this yesterday with me as holy priest, DK tank, fury warrior, rogue & another melee class i can't remember. Sadly all the melee died quite fast, one by one, leaving me & the tank alive at about 150k hp. From then on it was cake to keep me & tank up.
With the DK dps & me throwing in some dots we got downed him without problems, tho i must say it became quite warm for me cuz i didn't expect the melee to get bashed like that.

Comment by riboe

Ok... One of the easiest achievements I've ever done.
Simply Godmode it.
Just heal through the frenzy. My health didn't drop below 70% at anytime... No chance this can be hard?

Comment by 213817

When i did this it was completely by accident and did it because our dps wasnt high enough to take down the adds so since i was tank and me and the healer were the best there. We had 1 of our dps left which was a elemental shaman. WHat we did was simply pound on the orc chick and when she used her move as a warrior id switch between https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=871 and then id use both https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=40683 and https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=37872 at the same time and this worked perfectly and we got the achievement and just to let you know i tanked this and i havent even tanked a raid yet but i had most of my epics except sword and bracers check me out Rogatar-Zangarmarsh

Comment by 213817

o and when i say i switched i mean i used shield wall when she did it the 1st time then switched to my trinket whens she used it the next when shield wall's cd wasnt done yet

Comment by Amdoravel

did this today....

as a DK tank it was easy first sacrifice i blew IBF as i saw her cast CS.... w/o IBF she hits me 22k with it it only hit around 5.2k

the 2nd sacrifice i blew my Army of the Dead they took the CS for me made it so easy she didn't get past 2 sacrifices.

fairly easy 4 me but i had some great heals and i am sitting on 33k health so :)

Comment by 316209

One other way is as a paladin tank, if you have , and use a macro tying it with , that will help a bunch.

Edit....
Why aren't the links working... anyways-
"One other way is as a paladin tank, if you have Seal of the Pantheon, and use a macro tying it with Divine Protection, that will help a bunch."

Comment by Nobleshift

Did this as a druid tank (don't seem to see many of those anymore), but basically just using cooldowns works fine. Barkskin each enrage, Survival Instincts, Frenzied Regen, Trinkets. I brought a Holy Priest and he had his https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=47788 on me. High avoidance helps, I have about 50% between dodge and miss. Was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Comment by 146819

Also, as she does not drop aggro, try running to one of the sides before she comes down (without aggoing the elites in the stairs blocking your path). This will waste a few seconds of her enrage running towards you.

If you have at least 2 people with Taunts (any of the Tank taunts or a Hunter's Distracting Shot), you could have them run to opposite sides of the ring and just taunt her; first she wastes time running to the MT, then she wastes 3 seconds running to the Taunter.
If you have a Death Knight, they can use Dark Command and Death Grip one after the other to eat up another 3 seconds, plus the time she has to spend running back (put a second DK over there, and you shouldn't have to worry about the Enrage at all).

Comment by olguin

We had: prot warrior, dps (arms? i think) warrior, dps paladin, boomkin, and resto shaman.
When she summoned the volunteer the tank would run about 30 yards away from where Jedoga lands, and the moonkin would pop out and put up hots as she approached. Everyone was really well geared (tank had 34k HP with druid buff and commanding shout), and the enrage was hardly even noticeable (the tank dropped to about 50% off her first hit on the first enrage, but after that might never have dropped below 75, and the dps warrior got one-shot by one of her AoEs, but healing was incredibly easy)...this is certainly much easier than I had imagined it would be.

Comment by 135354

Got this accidentally tonight. We were 4-manning the instance and just didn't have the dps to down the add in time. :)

dk dps got one-shot after the first volunteer - we didn't know what to expect - guaranteeing we wouldn't finish any of the subsequent ones. Mage dropped 2 volunteers later to the aoe. A decent geared prot pally (around 33k health) and an equally geared holy pally (me) finished it off.

Just be ready to throw a big heal and keep out of the aoe. After the initial "oh crap" moment and a holy light or two, you'll be back to flash of light spam... til the next round.

Comment by 392736

If you're a melee, I'd suggest that you are either very fast at Disarming/Dismantling the boss upon Cyclone Strike cast, or that you just stay away from her until she's cast it.

Watching three melees drop dead all of a sudden is pretty hilarious, though.

Ranged, stay out of the Thundershock. It hurts. Unlike the Elemental Shaman spell Thunderstorm, this does not grant you mana >.>

Comment by Modibybob

This achievement really isn't that hard...all your healer has to do is anticipate the hits and pre-heal a little. (coming from a resto shammy)

Comment by Kroul

Did this about 15 minutes ago, or rather thought I had, a dps had to leave before the boss so we 4-manned it, and after failing to kill the first two adds in time by a fraction, I told everyone not to bother and shoot for the achievement. Downed the boss after the third add sacrifice, no achievement. Is there anything bar killing the adds that might prevent it from working? Just wondering if anyone else had had the same problem, or I'm just really unlucky.

Yes, the boss got the enrage each time. I tanked it, so I think I'd know :P

Comment by 441773

Accomplished this yesterday. VERY easy with 2 warriors in the group that can tank. The warriors put their Vigilance on each other. This causes their taunt cooldowns to be refreshed anytime the other is hit. When she comes down the 2 warriors need to be on opposite sides of the platform. Then just ping pong her back & forth with your taunts until her damage buff wears off. Also disarm is very useful here too.

Comment by 252717

3-Manned it last night with a well equipped warrior tank, well equipped Druid Healer, and myself a Mage. Took just a bit, but no issues, as long as you have a tank with a big health pool and a fast healer, no problems. There was no kiting or running around done, just face the music and dps away.

Comment by Shihamut

Very simple theory here:

The Tank - Nothing specific, as long as the person has a decent avoidance and roughly 35k+ hp you should be fine. Try and shoot for at least 62% mitigation from armor if possible.

Healer - Preferably a holy paladin, or even a resto druid.

Dps - Ranged, as long as one of which is a druid, for battle rez (ele shammy, boomkin, shadow priest, etc.). If your healer is a druid this does not apply to you, but you may need a paladin in case the worst does happen.

The tank starts off pulling her towards the water, while the dps saves cooldowns (1 person uses a cooldown per empower effect). Try and save/spread out your damage reducing cooldowns (Divine Protection, Icebound Fortitude, and such) for when healing gets tight, or if your parry/dodge chances arent having the best of luck. (Since there are no other melee in range of her besides the tank, he just simply has to avoid standing in the lightning aoe and keep her at a good distance from the dps and healers. The best idea would be to tank her so that your back is against a wall of some sort, so the blowback doesnt knock you away from the heals.

Pretty much common sense is the only thing you need to have in order to take her out. When she does 'enrage' make sure if you have a druid healer that 3 lifeblooms are stacked and rejuve/regrowth are topped off. The purpose for the holy paladin is having the ability to be able to pull off big heals and if needed bubble and hold the boss with a taunt until the druid can battle rez the fallen tank (should it happen).

This is the same tactic my bro used to do the achieve and they managed to get it in the second shot. Also you may want to bring friends or competent people for this one, as one mishap can wipe the group.

Comment by toppopotamus

Ok I'm really surprised that nobody has thought this up yet. Tranquilizing Shot should just remove the enrage altogether making this a breeze. I will try later this week to see if this works when I get a chance to run it with my hunter friend. If not I can probably just heal through it at this point with my gear. (I'm a Holy Pally with enough gear for ICC)

Jedoga Shadowseeker now only ascends once during the encounter.

Chaos Theory nerfed
Anomalus will now use the Create Rift ability only once, down from 3 times.

Respect Your Elders nerfed
