One of two boss' in an encounter deep inside Tempest Keep - Arcatraz. Dalliah is basically a tank and spank fight. She does a melee whirlwind that the tank and melee can move out of.'

My lucky loot: Reflex Blades

Special Abilities

Gift of the Doomsayer – Debuff, can not be removed, chance to heal Dalliah when afflicted party member is healed.

Heal – Weak heal she casts after Whirlwind, interruptible.

Whirlwind – Attacks all nearby enemies for normal damage plus 726.

Strategy

Dalliah and Soccothrates are not a combined encounter, they are two separate bosses.

Dalliah will cast Gift of the Doomsayer on the tank, at this point we want to avoid casting any heals on him/her until it wears off, unless absolutely necessary. When Dalliah begins to Whirlwind all melee should move away as she will be stationary. Immediately after her Whirlwind finishes she will cast Heal on herself that can be interrupted, even if it is not it heals for a trivial amount of health.

Simple tank and spank fight, boss puts a debuff on the tank where heals made on the tank have a chance of healing the boss (though it's very negligible and can be ignored for the most part).

She does a whirlwind that hits plate for about 2k, lasts for about 6+ seconds. When it finishes, she starts casting a heal which can be interrupted (pummel, feral charge, counterspell, kick, etc..). Other than that, just DPS her hard and she'll drop without much problem!

Preferably have the tank use Shield Reflect to cast the debuff on her so the tank and everyone else can get some heals. :)

There are a few things that you can do to make life easier for yourself when fighting this particular boss. Firstly you basically need to have a class in your group who is able to pull off an ability to Interrupt her heal primarily and the debuff "Gift of the doomsayer".
The heal generally heals her for 20,000 hp so can really be a pain if you miss the interrupt.

-Abilites like a hunters silencing shot and a shadow priests Silence do not interrupt the spells, however Shield Bash, Kick, Counterspell, Feral Charge etc do work-

As mentioned above it is possible to shield reflect the debuff upon her, however it's a fast cast and your warrior has to be in good form to get it every time. This can be helped by if you've a warlock in your group, having it cast Curse of Tongues upon her. It slows her casting speed right down and helps make the fight go alot smoother.
She is of course immune to taunt, so be carefull with your DPS and you'll have this boss down in next to no time.

Suggestion for healers, just keep an AoE going...i did it no aggro..

Just did this boss 3 man (not in a bragging way - 2 of our members got D/C'd).

When the boss does a whirlwind attack, all melee (including MT) should move out of the way.

As soon as she's done, she casts a 2 second heal for 10% that needs to be interupted. Shield Bank, kick and feral charge all work.

She randomly casts an 8 second debuff on the MT which heals her for the same amount. When the MT has this buff, no healing should be done on him.

Be very careul of HoTs from druids. If you have on one, right click to dispell it.

The other key thing about this boss is that she is immune to taunts, so agro needs to be watched from all classes. No Nuking and No overhealing.

This was a long long fight. Our mage used wands from 99% - 90%, and used wands for 10 seconds inbetween each fireball. took us almost 13 minutes but she was downed in the end. Thing to do is not to panic and she's easy fora good group, even if youre gear is as bad as ours (lvl 60ish greens).

Regarding another strat to deal with her debuff:

Just beat her earlier tonight. Had two shaman in the raid. Wiped once, then we figured since there were two of us, lets have one of us drop a grounding totem. It worked. She doesn't cast any other spells, so the grounding soaked it up everytime (and since it did no damage, it didn't destory the totem). So, the totem renews itself to catch the buff after another 10 seconds, so I didn't have to spam it that much. Just to replace it every 45 seconds. We had absolutely no trouble with her at *all* that time.

Someone else able to verify?

Dropped a pair of BOE tanking gloves, which I thought was rather strange.

Dalliah and Soccothrates are in the middle of a domestic when you interrupt them in their room; and there's nothing more embarassing than people walking in on when you and your partner are fighting.

Yeah, once again, Blizzard nerfs the Shaman class.

Comment by 67134

A relatively simple fight. The only problem in fighting her is when you have a HoT on the tank and she gets Gift of the Doomsayer off. This can be a pain in the ass if you have a druid healer, but otherwise is not too much of a problem. I fought her with a druid healer, and she pretty much fully healed from 50% off his HoT. Funniest part about this fight is the other boss just laughs at her as she diies and applauds the group for killing her.

this was a very interesting fight for my group- warrior tank, rogue, hunter, druid, and pally healer. at first, our tank was unable to hold the aggro and consequently the druid and rogue were killed. leaving just me as the hunter to dps. However, the pally and his endless mana supply was continuously able to keep the tank alive, and he was able to shield bash all of her heals. eventually, the rogue and druid rezzed and actually came back to the fight, at which point we were able to dps her down. very entertaining.

Comment by Boshnak

Pretty easy fight. Drain her mana if you have a class with mana draining abilities, MS/Wound Poison helps vs the Gift of the Doomsayer. If you are afflicted by it, make sure you right click any HoTs on you as they heal her. Interrupt her heal, and all melee back up when she Whirlwinds. I found to be a very easy fight, and it's good that Soccothrates laughs at her, opposed to assisting her. ;)

Hey. i was jsut reading the skill Gift of the Doomsayer.

Gift of the Doomsayer
10 yd range
1.5 sec cast
Curses an enemy for 10 sec., giving it 100% chance to heal its target by 2313 to 2687 on heal.

when it says "target" does that mean that the person with the curse can target a felow party member? and could acualy heal a party member when someone heals the cursed target?

ive yet to try this so if anyone beats me to it would love to know feedback :)

thanks

Hey there Dalliah
What's it like in the Arcatraz...

Comment by 126380

Hey you can do this with 2 people

The "General Tips" is incorrect - she is immune to counterspell. We had a party composed of a mage, warlock, feral druid, hunter, and priest and the only way we were able to interrupt her heals was with the druid's "charge" ability.

Comment by 152320

Very important to interrupt the Gift of the Doomsayer ability if you have a druid healer. Elemental shamans, if for some reason they don't already have one, should make a macro for their Earth Shock:

/stopcasting
/cast Earth Shock

This boss is possibly the easiest heroic boss around. I've TWO-manned her on several occasions (as a result of DPS dying due to WW, full melee groups isn't fun in those situations), and the only thing she requires is a healing class that can regen their mana, and a tank that can keep threat above the healaggro (which shouldn't be hard at all).

The only thing you need to worry about concerning her is the whirlwind, and also the heal following this - beware, though, as her whirlwind will tick on you for the first couple hits if you were in melee range when she started, something which might confuse you about her range. The post-whirlwind heal should be interrupted (she'll take an eternity if not).

And yes, this is from Heroic experience.

If your DPS somehow survives (ahem), take care. She needs to be tanked purely through threat generation, as she's immune to taunt.

PvP gloves and Deadly Throw make her heal easy to deal with.

Comment by oppewala

Tried this as a druid. Takes a long time if you just use your HoTs. I found it easier to use HT on the tank and HoTs on DPS if they get hit by WW. If your dps is good at interrupting (mine weren't) it shouldn't really make a difference.

Comment by 64664

Even on Heroic Mode this is an easy fight. She does more damage though. Whirlwind isn't really something to worry about 'a lot' as a tank. Other melee should get out though as it hits for about 2k on plate. Though with high enough defense it will block, parry or dodge mostly on tanks
Just to play safe as soon as she uses whirlwind, step backwards. Don't turn around or she can slice you for quite some damage. Get a fair distance. As soon as her whirlwind starts to wear off, Charge in and use Shield Bash right away to interupt her healing spell.

Comment by TombLordMalifact

and, above all else, she is wearing a thong. make sure your party members stay focused on the task at hand, and not oggling her behind.
:P

I attempted to solo this as a 80 balance druid and typhoon doesn't interrupt her heals. She doesn't appear to use mana for her heals, so she could always heal herself. Eventually, she ran me out of mana and I died with her at about 50% health. I might try again later as feral.

I just destroyed her as feral. If you can interupt her heals, no 80 should have a problem.

"She's a bit more then tank and spank"

Spank her ass, is what i'd like to do =)

Waiting for the achievement to be made to kill them both within a certain time of each other.

Sexy ass xD

Comment by Dracomortis

For those of you looking to solo her but don't have reliable interrupts, it's entirely possible to simply burn her through the healing. She doesn't use her Whirlwind + Heal combo very often -- as a boomkin in a mix of Triumph and Frost gear I burned her in about 30 seconds and only saw her use it once, which basically just added 20,000 to her health pool. Obviously not all classes have as much burst as a boomkin, and particularly squishy classes may wish to bring a friend, since she does hit pretty hard.

Comment by MasterInfernal

It seems, sadly that there is currently a bug, which will prevent people from looting the monsters. Beautiful instance and stuff, but that really made me sad. Then i relogged, and i got the option to loot them again <3. Dunno why, but people should relog before leaving the instance :)

Trouble in Paradise Lost eh?

Comment by darkxi

I realize this might be completely off base. But, could this lady and the Satyr be a reference to 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation? I mean you do have a male and female demon bickering over simple stuff... (and Sheeva has many arms). About 28 minutes into the movie. One of the other characters calls it 'sniveling.'

Comment by ayeee

Every time i run this dungeon the "call on me" song pops up in my head...

Comment by DaggersEdge

Her name could be a reference to the word "dalliance" which means:

1. A trifling away of time.
2. Amorous toying; flirtation.

Comment by Shredalynne

It seems like this encounter is broke within Timewalking.

Just tried this boss at il350ish, cannot out-dps those heals unless all dps is over il350ish and you have at least 3 interrupts assigned for the heals and the tank debuff (which also heals, and seems more op heal than in vanilla).

Timewalking-wise these mechanics seem seriously broke, her heals are waay op. I would encourage your group to roll a different instance at the entrance unless you have uber dps.
