Hey guys and gals, have a question regarding when to throw down Blessing of Sacrifice on her before she stuns. Now I recently got Dead Boss Mod, cause I hear it helps. Im wondering when is a good time to throw it on the tank. I know Sacr has a 30 sec effect and 30 sec cooldown. Is there a good time to throw it up so you have enough time for the next one to take effect.
Thanks for any feedback.

It's been a long time since I last healed maiden on my paladin, but I wanna say 15 seconds before the first repentance.

umm, the ability and the CD dont overlap so there shouldnt be any problem with having it ready. either its ready to use, or still running...

I just kept it up the entire fight when i healed it.

I can speak for what my guild does, we have a pally MT, priest MH, and pally OH. our pally OH uses BOS from the jump and maintains it through the duration of the fight. He is also on Holy fire detail. We also run with a resto shammy from time to time which makes his life easier.

Good feedback, never thought of keeping the blessing up at all times. I can definielty see that working alot better. Ya, I've been on healing the raid and cleansing. But i think this time were going to try me on MT with priest as a back up and have our other priest cleanse/heal

I forget the time before she does her first Repentance, but as long as you don't cast BoSacrifice too near the 30 second mark cause you don't want it to wear off and have her cast Repentance before you are able to cast it again (either due to lag, you're in the middle of a cast already, or just really bad timing). So I'd say to be on the safe side about 15-20 seconds before the first Repentance is probably the best, but there is nothing wrong with casting it right away if that is your choice.

Cool, sounds like a good time to throw it up.

Yes keep it up all the time. My group usually has two pallies so I do the MT so it keeps me out of repentence and then the other pally does it on me so he stays out of repentence.

That just leaves the priest uncovered and if needed , the tank or the priest can just move into the AoE and not get it.

It might also be wise to throw BoS on a melee dps rather than the MT. The consecration ticks will still kick you out of stun but you won't be taking as much damage from Maiden's melee hits.

not a bad idea. one problem i see with it is melee rotation if the group uses it, where your BoS target would be out of consecrate while you get repented.

A good thing about it though is that you are actually helping mitigate the damage the DPSer gets, which helps reduce any liability they might cause if there isnt a melee rotation. The tank doesnt really need the mitigation.

Rank 1 BoS does so little damage it is usually a non-issue. And the majority of the time we only have 1 melee DPS at maiden - all the rest are ranged so that is why i use the MT.

But yeah any melee DPS would work .

Thats a good point keeping on a melee class. I'll have to keep that in mind when we run her again.
