Revision as of 19:38, 7 August 2009

For her appearence in the Argent Pavilion, see Argent Confessor Paletress.

Argent Confessor Paletress is a boss of the Trial of the Champion in the Crusaders' Coliseum.

Either she or Eadric the Pure will be encountered after defeating the three grand champions of the opposite faction.

Trash

Before facing Paletress herself, players will have to deal with three groups of three mobs consisting of an Argent Lightwielder, an Argent Monk and an Argent Priestess:

The priestess drops lightwells, casts Holy Smite and Shadow Word: Pain. On heroic, she will also try to Mind Contol someone unless interrupted.
The lightwielder melees and casts cleave.
The monk has Final Meditation (on heroic only) which encases him in bubble at 1 hp and slows attack and movement speed or nearby players.

Abilities

Holy Smite 50 yd range — Smites an enemy, inflicting 4,500 to 5,500 (Heroic: 7,650 to 9,350) Holy damage.

Holy Fire 30 yd range — Consumes an enemy in flames, burning it and inflicing addtional fire damage every 2 sec. over 8 sec.

Renew — Heals a friendly target for 17500 every 3 sec. Unlimited range

Confess — Forcing nearby players to confess their darkest memories. Argent Confessor Paletress is healed to full health and shielded for 100% damage reduce, throwing 25% of damage done back at the attacker.

Summon Memory — Summons a memory from the past. Summons one of the following memories:
Hogger, VanCleef, Mutanus, Herod, Lucifron, Thunderaan, Chromaggus, Hakkar, Vek'nilash, Kalithresh, Malchezaar, Gruul, Vashj, Archimonde, Illidan, Delrissa, M'uru, Ingvar, Cyanigosa, Eck, Onyxia, Heigan, Ignis, Vezax, Algalon.
They all seem to have the same abilities:
- Waking Nightmare — Strikes fear in nearby enemies, inflicting 1,000 (Heroic 1,250) Shadow damage per second for 3 (Heroic: 4) seconds and causing them to flee in terror for 3 (Heroic: 4) seconds. 2.71 sec cast
- Shadows of the Past 40 yd range — Shadows of the past writhe around the target, inflicting 4,250 to 5,750 (Heroic: 5,313 to 7,187) Shadow damage and reducing attack and casting speeds by 90% for 4 (Heroic: 5) seconds. 0.903 sec cast
- Old Wounds — Inflicts 1,500 (Heroic: 1,875) Physical damage to an enemy every 1 sec. for 12 sec. Melee range

Strategy

Paletress summons a random memory. While the ghost is alive, Paletress puts a 100% damage reduction shield on herself but doesn't (bug?) remain attacking the tank.

Simply attack her until she summons the memory, take it down and finish her off afterward.

Her Renew is a magic effect, removing it can speed up the fight. The memory's Waking Nightmare is a typeless fear effect, and any ability that removes fear can be useful.

[Prayer of Shadow Protection] or [Shadow Resistance Aura] can help while the memory is alive.
