WoW SoD BFD Raid Lady Saravess Encounter

Lady Saravess has a Blackfathom Elite accompanying her, a tanky mob that will also need to be handled by an off tank while the tank handles the boss. You will need to focus all of your damage on Lady Saravess as the Elite will despawn once she is killed.

During the encounter you will need to watch out for the Freezing Arrow ability which creates a snow patch on the ground that can freeze both your party and the Elite, so you use this to your advantage to CC it for a couple of seconds. 

The tank will need to position the boss away from the group as her Forked Lightning ability does a lot of damage so the DPS members should try to interrupt it every time they can. A minute into the fight, a second Elite will spawn that the off tank will need to pick up. This is a very simple fight, and the second Elite should not be a problem as by that time Lady Saravess should be very low.

Joardee has made an amazing video for all of the bosses in Blackfathom Deeps so we highly recommend checking it out for yourselves, here:
