Attacks and abilities

Sinister Strike - hits tank for ~2k (Heroic ~4500 on plate)

Call Flames - Flame bolt volley for low damage (Heroic ~4k)

Ritual of the Sword - teleports one party member to the altar and summons three adds which channel spells holding the party member in place. A sword slowly descends toward the altar, and if the adds are not killed by the time the sword reaches the alter it hits the sacrifice target for 100% of its health.

Strategies

regular - In regular mode this fight is quite easy. Sorrowgrave's damage is quite low, and the adds have low health.

Every 20 seconds or so she will sacrifice a party member, She rises to the ceiling, and teleports the targeted member to the altar. Three adds appear and channel a spell holding the party member in place.

You have approximately 8 seconds to kill all the adds before the sword reaches the altar and kills the sacrifice target. Divine Shield and Iceblock can be used to avoid the sacrifice, it is unknown whether other abilities also work.

Heroic - The adds have much more health and apply a dot to any player who casts a direct damage spell on them. Having a substantial AOE damage is very useful to kill the adds in time.
