Maiden of Grief is a female titan statue boss, much like Maiden of Virtue in Karazhan. She is a boss of the non-linear instance Halls of Stone.

Tactics

This fight works similar to Maiden of Virtue in Karazhan.

She occasionally drops a big void zone instead of consecration and puts a magical debuff dealing shadow damage instead of holy fire. On regular, the tank can move out of this to avoid the relatively signifcant damage incurred. On Heroic mode, she does a lot more damage (as much as 5400 a tick on a plate wearer).

She also casts Shock of Sorrow, which deals 1750 to 2250 shadow damage, incapacitates all group members for 10 seconds and seems to act as an aggro dump. This ability has a 4 second cast time. If the healer is positioned near a void zone, the healer can jump into it to avoid being incapacitated for the full duration. In the event this happens too quickly, PVP insignias are able to clear the incapacitate, unlike the Maiden of Virtue ability.

Strategy

On normal as well as heroic, the best strategy seems to be to have the casters stand in the middle of the room as the tank keeps her moving in a continuous circle around the outside perimeter. Before she finishes casting Shock of Sorrow a taunt is cast ensuring the tank is the next target hit by her, thereby removing the stun effect.

Why must it be this way?
You had it coming!
My burden grows heavier.
This is your own fault!

So much lost time... that you'll never get back!
