Blood-Queen Lana'thel is the leader of the San'layn and a boss of the Icecrown Citadel raid.
Abilities
Blood-Queen Lana'thel has a 6 minutes enrage timer.
Ground Phase
Blood Mirror — 100% of damage done to linked source is reflected to you as Shadow damage. This affects the person closest to the tank.- Delirious Slash — Inflicts 50% of weapon damage to an enemy and causes it to bleed for 5,250 to 6,750 damage per application every 3 seconds for 15 seconds.
- Vampiric Bite — Deals 13,875 to 16,125 damage to the target, granting them the Essence of the Vampyr Queen.
- Essence of the Blood Queen — You are infused with the blood of the Vampyr Queen for 1 minute. Damage and healing done increased by 100%. Attacks heal the caster (the player). When this fades, you gain Frenzied Bloodthirst.
- Frenzied Bloodthirst — The caster must satiate their need for blood within 10 seconds, otherwise they will lose their will to Queen Lana'thel. You gain Vampiric Bite on your action bar when you're under this effect.
- Uncontrollable Frenzy — If you do not feed quick enough for Frenzied Bloodthirst, you become charmed, increasing damage done by 100%, health by 5000% and healing done by 1000%.
- Pact of the Darkfallen — Deals 5,000 Shadow damage to you and nearby non-linked allies every 2 seconds. This effect expires when all linked targets are within 5 yards of each other. 2 targets are linked in in 10-player, 3 in 25-player.
- Shroud of Sorrow — An aura of sorrow and despair emanates from the caster, inflicting 4,500 Shadow damage every 3 seconds to nearby enemies.
- Swarming Shadows — A swarming void consumes the target, causing a mass of shadows to appear beneath the target and dealing 2,313 to 2,687 Shadow damage every 2 seconds. This creates a cloud of shadows on the ground that deals damage to players who stand in it.
- Twilight Bloodbolt — Hurls a bolt of dark blood at the target, dealing 9,250 to 10,750 damage to the target and surrounding allies within 6 yards.
Air Phase
- Bloodbolt Whirl — Summons a maelstrom of whirling Bloodbolts every 2 seconds for 6 seconds.
- Bloodbolt Whirl — Hurls a bolt of dark blood at the target, dealing 9,250 to 10750 damage to the target and surrounding allies within 50,000 yards.
Strategy
This is an encounter with two phases: a ground phase and an air phase.
Blood-Queen Lana'thel will bite players, increasing their damage dealt and allowing them to heal themselves for part of the damage they deal. However, you must pay close attention to this as you will gain Frenzied Bloodthirst when the bonuses fade, forcing you to bite another player within 10 seconds or become mind controlled.
She will also link the tank with the closest person to them, causing the linked person to take shadow damage equal to the damage the tank takes.
Finally, she has an ability that's basically a reverse of Mother Shahraz: she links players with Pact of the Darkfallen and they must run to each other to remove it.
