Mother Shahraz Mother Shahraz is a shivarra boss located in Black Temple in Shadowmoon Valley . Besides requiring high amounts of Shadow Resistance , the fight is rather basic tank and spank . All previous bosses ( Shade of Akama , Teron Gorefiend , Reliquary of Souls , and Gurtogg Bloodboil ) need to be killed before the door to Mother Shahraz opens . She must be killed before the raid can gain access to the Illidari Council . Given her location , quotes and abilities , it can be surmised that she is the leader of the concubines in Black Temple . Preparation . The main tank wears his normal tanking gear . All other raid members need very high ( best maxed ) shadow resistance . This is best accomplished using the BT crafted Shadow resistance gear plus the Medallion of Karabor . The Shadow Protection buff is mandatory , a Cauldron of Major Shadow Protection can help too . The fight is very mana intensive for healers . Everybody should have a Healthstone . After the universal nerfing of TBC raid contents in patch 3 . 0 . 2 , she can be brought down without any shadow resistance gear provided the DPS and Healing are good . Positioning . Three tanks must stand close together in front of her to distribute the Saber Lash damage . She must face away from the raid , the melee group sets up behind her . Ranged and healers set up in one big group . It ' s a good idea to have the raid stand under the right - hand pillar , and the melee group with the boss at the opposite pillar , because the lower ceiling there somewhat reduces falling damage . The encounter can be reset by running to the rear of the room ( away from her platform ) . Fatal Attraction . This ability is the most frequent cause for wipes , one common wipe situation occurs when the FA targets are teleported into the melee group , and a Saber Lash happens at the same time . There is some evidence that the beams and FA not only target players , but also totems . It ' s therefore a very good idea if all shamans continuously keep up four totems . One healer should be predesignated as FA target healer , and spam heal the affected players . They must move apart very quickly , and try not to hurt too many other raid members . This is easier said than done , because often enough two players run in the same direction , both thinking due to lag that the other guy was " behind " and should break off , while in reality they ' re just close together , and each see themself as being " first " . Good communication between the FA targets is essential . Distributed setup . A one - group setup as described above has the disadvantage that the FA targets can be teleported into that one group , and then a lot of AoE damage is taken . By setting up in several ( up to four ) smaller groups , the number of people affected by the AoE is smaller , while the probability of having some people affected by it increases . Overall , distributed setups have the disadvantage that FA targets have problems to find safe spots to run to . Close - in setup . When the whole raid clusters very close to her ( " under her skirt " ) , nobody can be hit by the beams . The problem is that if only one person does not stand close enough , a wipe is highly probable . This will cause everyone to be affected by the silence , including healers . Quotes .
