This page covers a healer-focused strategy for Mother Shahraz in the Black Temple in The Burning Crusade. 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, combat log information, and Dungeon Journal information. I'll continue to update it as-needed.

General Mechanics and Abilities

• The tanks will be dealing with Saber Lash.
• When affected by Fatal Attraction, run 25-yards away from the other two linked players to break the effect while staying more than 15-yards away from other players to avoid chaining the damage.
• If possible, stay more than 18-yards away to avoid Silencing Shriek.
• Every ~30-seconds, a Beam is fired at a player. Every Beam can chain up to 10 other players.
  • Vile Beam deals moderate damage over time.
  • Sinful Beam deals heavy damage.
  • Sinister Beam deals light damage and knocks players back.
  • Wicked Beam drains mana.
