This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Lady Ashvane in The Eternal Palace. While it's tailored for healers, other roles may also find the information useful. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can leave a comment below or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

This guide has been updated and maintained based on my own experiences with the encounter, logs information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

General Mechanics and Abilities

Normal and Heroic

During this encounter players will be contending with Lady Ashvane's alternating stages.

Stage One - Hardened Carapace

This stage begins the encounter and restarts when the boss reaches 100% Energy. It ends when the Hardened Carapace is destroyed.

• Hardened Carapace absorbs damage equal to 40% of the boss' maximum health, increasing in strength every time it regenerates.
• The tanks will be dealing with Barnacle Bash, which forces a tank switch.
  • Avoid the Cutting Coral patches left behind.
• Avoid the impact the locations of Coral Growth.
• Intercept Rippling Wave bubbles from Coral Growth to prevent them from reaching Ashvane.
  • Each Rippling Wave that hits a player or the boss deals moderate damage to all players.
  • Each Rippling Wave that reaches the boss restores 10% health to the Hardened Carapace.
  • Players receive a stack of Waterlogged each time they intercept a Rippling Wave.
• When affected by Briny Bubble, move at least 12-yards away from other players to prevent trapping them.
  • These bubbles must be killed to free affected players.
• Avoid the impact locations of Upsurge.

Stage Two - Exposed Azerite

This stage begins when the Hardened Carapace is destroyed and ends when Ashvane reaches 100% energy.

• Barnacle Bash, Briny Bubble, and Upsurge continue during this stage.
• Targets random players with Exposed Azerite, dealing light damage.
• When affected by Arcing Azerite, position as many Coral Growths between yourself and your partner as possible to destroy them.
  • If not affected, avoid the areas between the affected players.

Mythic Differences

Stage One - Hardened Carapace

• When Rippling Waves are triggered, there's now one Empowered Rippling Wave that must be intercepted by three players.

Stage Two - Exposed Azerite

• When a Coral Growth is destroyed by Arcing Azerite, the impact locations of its five shards must be intercepted by players to prevent more Coral Growth from spawning.

Healing Notes

Quick Notes, All Difficulties

The notes below mostly pertain to progression difficulty, meaning if you out-gear the difficulty you're on or use extra healers they may not apply.

• Use Major Cooldowns
  • when Rippling Wave are active
• Use Minor Cooldowns
  • as-needed during Stage Two
• Pre-heal Before (mainly for heal over time classes)
  • Rippling Wave
  • Arcing Azerite
• Potion of Replenishment use
  • during Stage Two, after Arcing Azerite
• Other things to watch for
  • The steadily increasing group-wide damage as more players gain stacks of Waterlogged.
