Maiden of Virtue is the third boss in Karazhan and is an optional boss; you do not need to kill her to progress further into Karazhan. This essay will discuss how to defeat her. For those that have never been to Karazhan, the instance is located at the southern end of Deadwind Pass. This zone sits between Duskwood and Swamp of Sorrows. When you enter Deadwind Pass from Duskwood, take your first right and follow the road south until you reach Karazhan. If you are entering from the Swamp of Sorrows side, you will need to make your first left and follow the road south until you reach Karazhan. Holy Ground - She will continuously cast AOE waves that will spread out from her throughout the entire fight. These waves do minimal damage to their targets. However, if you get hit by them, they will silence you for approximately two seconds. For this reason, your tank should keep her in the middle of the dark gray area. The rest of the raid members should stand directly on top of either of the two dark gray steps leading up to the center area and they will easily avoid getting hit by this constant AOE.

Repentance - Stuns all players for 10-12 seconds or until they take damage. When she casts Repentance, she will stun the entire raid. Since your tank will take almost immediate damage from Holy Ground, your tank will break free from Repentance and can resume tanking. Paladin - full time removal of Holy Fire. This DOT must be removed from party members as quickly as possible as it does a lot of damage. Your paladin should also keep Blessing of Sacrifice on the main tank at all times. When Maiden casts Repentance, your paladin will take damage along with your tank (from Blessing of Sacrifice) and they will both break from the stun. The paladin then assumes the role of primary healer for your tank while the rest of the party waits for the Repentance stun to wear off. If your paladin fails to break free from repentance, he or she must bubble and heal the main tank. You can only do this once, of course, so Blessing of Sacrifice must be kept on the tank at all times. Without Blessing of Sacrifice, she is extremely difficult to defeat. To start the fight, everyone should spread-out around her. Be careful not to aggro her while you are getting into position! One of your priests should stand directly opposite the tank; this healer will be responsible for healing your main tank while everyone else moves in close to her. Prior to your tank charging in, your other healers should cast HOTS onto him or her.
