Maiden of Virtue The maiden looks very similar to the statuesque constructs found within Uldaman. For all intensive purposes, she acts much like a paladin. Her abilities are all more powerful versions of paladin spells.

To begin with, its important to note the pillars surrounding the maiden's platform. All non-melee party members should end up standing between a pair of pillars. This spreads the party out to avoid the maiden's most damaging spell, a chain lightning style holy wrath that will kill party members if they bunch up too much.

To get into position, players can skirt the edge of the room. So long as they don't move in toward the platform, the maiden will not engage. The fight should begin with a tank charging in and holding the maiden at the center of the platform.

Throughout the fight, the maiden will lay down consecration. This will basically take up the entire raised platform. All non-melee should move to the edge of the platform. This is so they can stay within range of healers but outside the consecration.

Melee should spread out around the maiden to avoid chaining the holy wrath. Melee will sufer continuous damage from consecration, so keep them healed.

Healers have a somewhat challenging task throughout this fight. The maiden will routinely use an area effect repentance. This will temporarily put all the players to sleep. The melee players will immediately be broken out of repentance by the consecration damage. The trouble is that healers will remain asleep making it a dangerous time for the tank. There are a few ways to deal with this event. Paladin's can throw blessing of sacrifice on the tank or other melee. This will cause them to receive some of the consecration damage breaking them out of repentance. Druid healers can shape shift prior to the repentance making them immune to the effect. HoTs should be maintained on the tank and melee dps as much as possible.

The last of the Maiden's abilities to note is a random target holy fire. This will inflict a few thousand points of damage and leave a deadly DoT on the victim that ticks for 1500-2000 damage every 2 seconds. If the DoT is not cleansed, the player will probably end up dying. This can be dealt with by having shamans dropping grounding totems to eat the holy fire. Otherwise, the DoT needs to be cleansed immediately.

The Maiden isn't very hard given proper positioning and good healers.
