As a reminder for Blood infusion, using divine shield will remove your blood stack.

The Frost Breath seems to be totally managable as a DK. Resistance gear also works very good in that fight. It's maybe too good, you resist every second breath. You get -15% run speed per breath and the debuff drops in P2.

We had our bear experiment his Frost Resist gear for the fight and he even managed to Full resist some breaths, so I'd say that part could be accomplished using a basic frost resist set.

If I remember correctly he had 417 Frost resist, counting Mark and Aura.

Does the breath count towards the quest if fully resisted though?

Does AMS prevent the application of a frost breath?

That's what I need to know .
Misses and resists of any kind do count. You're done after like 2mins. You never get a 4th stack, the dot just drops then.

AMS does NOT stop you for doing the frost infusion, tried and confirmed several times.

AMS does not prevent the application of the debuff.

[e] Bleh too late

Confirming you need to survive the encounter, died at 12% lost all my buffs including the Infusion one and it didn't come back as I ressed so you'd need to eat another 4 breaths after getting combat ressed.

That's part of every infusion quest.

I actually found Frost to be the easiest of the infusion quests. Unlike Putricide where if you mess up driving the abomb you can cause a wipe. Or Blood Queen where you significantly reduce raid DPS by having to take the 2nd bite or so and having a -damage debuff. With this one, the only thing that's really effected is your DPS if you wear FrR gear, and the encounter isn't a DPS race by any stretch. There's very little risk to the raid. Something to keep in mind for those of you who have cautious raid leaders.

Yeah, Frost Infusion wasn't too problematic. You can either receive external cooldowns, or simply wear 2-3 parts of FrR, and eat the breaths yourself.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but be careful not to get 4 breaths early and kill her after Frost-Imbued Blade has run out, similar to Putricide.

Just stand around. Dps is not important in P1 & P2.

Since the buff only lasts six mins from when you get the last breath, is it important when you start getting hit, or is it good to go right off the bat?

Ah, well, since this wasn't mentioned, I had assumed it was the case, but I needed to make sure. Unfortunately I do reasonable amount of DPS in our raid and they don't want me to be carried for the first kill. Looks like I will have to wait until I get to tank.

edit: For Blood Infusion, I happen to have recorded a video for it, if anyone's interested. It says the quest is complete in the end. Here is the link.

A word of warning, if you're in an Ice Tomb when Sindragosa dies, you will not get credit for the Frost Infusion quest.

If you get tombed at any point it bugs out apparantly.

I'm only going by what I've been told, I already failed my try for this week so I cannot confirm. Source: official forums :P

That's the thread if you're interested.
Seems like you may not use Anti-Magic Shell. Being tombed while she dies also prevents you from completing the quest.

I can confirm that getting tombed does not prevent you from completing the quest, provided you get broken out before she dies. It is very likely that if you are tombed when she dies though, you won't get it completed; this happened to a guildie's roommate.

How much FrR did you use to not be a healing burden? Since after getting 4 stacks you get Frost-Imbued Blade for 6 minutes (and has a 10 minute enrage), so how long does it take to get 4 stacks? Asking because if you get the buff after 4 min has passed, you are good to go.

I dont think the two are related. Using AMS should still be a viable option. Notice one of the posts:

I think it simply has to do with getting blocked, not AMS.

Using AMS for Frost Breath and being tombed during the course of the encounter do no prevent completion of the quest. AMS does prevent the application of the Frost Breath debuff though, which otherwise lasts 2 Minutes and reduces your Attack Speed by 50% and Movement by 15%. You don't want to have it on in the last phase.
When you still have the DoT from the Quest while being entombed the damage is temporarily reduced to trivial levels.
If you can, you should do Sindragosa before the other wings, since you are missing out on potential shadowfrost shard opportunities otherwise. Contrary to what has been said, I find this to be the "hardest" part of the quest, since the risk of failure due to dying or randomly being entombed at the end of the encounter is much higher then with the other two quest steps. I do advice against tanking her to do the quest, as the tanks seem to have the lowest overall survival rate in the last phase. The opportunity cost of failure is also the highest, since you miss out on the potential shards for this reset and the next up to and including Sindragosa.
