TheWoWDBIt should also be noted that there are three "Elders" in Freya's area who are mini-bosses in their own right and drop an Emblem of Valor/Conquest as well:
- Elder StoneBark
- Elder Ironbranch
- Elder Brightleaf
Presumably, this encounter will be similar to Sartharion and his drakes, with each Elder joining the fight at various intervals and additional loot gained for each Elder left alive.

- Freya starts off with 150 stacks of her "Attuned to Nature" buff, making it impossible to out DPS her constant self-healing ability. Killing all the adds that periodically spawn throughout the fight remove stacks of this buff.
Have your MT charge in and tank Freya, she doesnt do a lot of damage, but enough that your tank could get killed if healers are side-tracked. This fight consists mainly of adds spawning, and the raid dealing with the adds. When we killed her, she spawned 6 seperate waves of adds, 2 of each type:
-Ancient Protector (a large add with over 1mil HP in 10 man. The raid must be stacked under the mushrooms that spawn in order to avoid his silence aura.) He also throws out a debuff which works similar to that of phase1 of Lady Vashj, if you have it, move away from raid members.
- Detonating Lashers (a bunch of small adds, they do not have a lot of HP and are untankable. When they die they explode for a solid amount of damage, so be careful when dealing with these).
- Snaplasher, Storm Lasher and Ancient Water Elemental (Three adds who must be killed within ~12 seconds of each other, or they will come back to life. The Snaplasher becomes stronger and slower over time, the Storm Lasher does AoE lightning abilities, and the ancient water elemental does a frontal AoE attack). Note: On 25 man, I strongly reccomend having your tank kite snaplasher when he begins reaching ~40 stacks of his debuff (assuming elder ironbranch is dead).
-Note: Throughout the encounter, Blessings of Eonar will spawn. They look like really funky trees that grow. if they reach full size, freya will drain them and heal her/ any adds alive for a large amount of HP. We assigned our two ranged DPS to be in charge of killing these ASAP on 10 man. (We assigned 5 ranged to deal with them on 25 man)
This fight is shockingly simple on 10 man. We just nuked the Protector, and AoE'd the Lashers. We also just AoE'd the 3 adds, although we made sure to kill them at roughly the same time. Once Freya's stacks reach 0, the adds will stop spawning, and the fight becomes incredibly easy. Merely DPS her down, kite her out of the roots on the ground which spawn (they explode and knock people back while dealing damage).
Good Luck :)
EDITED for Hard Mode (10 man) Info:
1 Elder Alive: We left up Elder Ironbranch for our attempts for 1 Elder. The fight was still pretty basic, the healing becomes slightly more intense. We had our DPSers create a macro: " /tar strength" to target the Strengthened iron roots freya casts. The only change we made was the add tank (me) began kiting snaplasher once he began reaching ~40 stacks of his debuff.
2 Elder: We left up Elder Ironbranch and Elder Brightleaf. In addition to the fast iron-root killing, we also had to worry about the beams of light spawning. Simply step out of them ASAP (if you're rooted in one, yell at people to break you out fast). The main phase of concern is the Detonating Lasher phase. We handled this by stacking in freya's melee range for the lashers. We AoE'd them down to approximately ~20% hp, then we had our hunter drop a frost trap and our mage nova them, we then ran away and began aoe'ing them down, if there were a few left alive out of the trap, we simply focus fired them down in between raid heals.
Also, during the Trio phase (Storm/Snap/Water Spirit), I reccomend having atleast 1 interrupt class focused on stopping Stormlasher's Stormbolt ability.
