    Shadowmourne Infusion Quests

    I'm currently at 20 Primordial Saronite, only five to go, will probably finish it tomorrow. Then I will progress to the Infusion quests. However, since I'm one expansion late, I'm sure they should be relatively easier now. I've read through some guides, but they contain different tactics, probably outdated now.

    I want to finish the Infusion quests in one run preferebly, but I don't mind doing it over two runs. I'm a retribution paladin with ~390 Item level PvE so that should contribute aswell.

    I'm experienced with each encounter, and have every achievement from Icc, except for Bane of the Fallen King so that shouldn't be a problem.

    This is where I need your help, what's the easiest/best tactic to each of the infusion quest? Help is hugely appreciated!

    It can't be soloed. For blood you will need to bite 3 dudes. For frost you just need a some def gear. For unholy you need a few peeps to actually kill the boss. TBH only blood is problematic. Bittens don't generate aggro and you need a very good dps so you can kill boss before players turn MC.

    My pala is also waiting for some help for these infusions. :/

    Of course currently not subbing won't help the situation.

    You will need to have your Shadow's Edge equipped for all infusion quests, you also cannot die during the boss fights.

    Unholy infusion: Pilot the abomination, eat ooze pools until you reach 100 ooze power and hit 3 on your bar to infuse your Shadow's Edge. Kill boss.

    Blood infusion: Stack with the tank and make sure you get bitten first (pop all cooldowns and hit her hard or tell the dps and heals to hold off on doing anything until you get bitten), bite 3 people (making an order helps to avoid confusion, also pick people who know the bite mechanic to avoid people getting mind controlled), Kill boss.

    Frost infusion: Stack on the tank and eat 3 frost breaths, shouldn't kill you in any way. Pop a defensive cooldown or have a healer focus on you if you are worried. Kill boss.


    Blood infusion is usually the trickiest as people don't listen in pugs and someone else will get bitten first or they will kill the boss before you get your 3rd bite out. In the weekly group I run in, we usually put her on heroic so that she's very low on health by the time the 3rd bite is out.

    Same as everyone has pointed out, for Unholy, make sure you get to control the abomination (duh), have shadow's edge equipped ofc, however the fight needs to last for some extra time in order to get to 100 focus or whatever the abom has so be the leader of the group and tell everyone to not dps the boss until you've got 100 and used it to infuse your weapon.

    Blood, probably the hardest, same as for unholy make sure that noone in the group dps the boss, if you're lucky at the start and noone dpses her you should be able to get the first bite (also make sure you go in with the tank so you get the debuff that is needed) when you have 2 bites done tell the group to nuke the boss and you'll be fine (also tell healers so keep you up at all time, you will take some extra damage here), If you dont get the first bite don't panic just tell the guy who is bitten first to bite you, if it goes any further than that the boss will probably enrage before you got the quest done.

    Frost, very easy, just stand infront of the boss and get 3 breaths, she does the breath pretty frequently so the boss should not be dead before you get the quest done unless you have some very nice dps in the group.

    Took me about 4 tries to get the blood quest done but on the 4th try people actually listened and did not dps until I said it was OK

    I did these back when the content was current and I think blood is probably now harder than it originally was, especially if you're now trying to get these with a pug. The problem is if you tag along with people you don't know, communication is horrible and they just pop all their cooldowns and nuke down Blood Queen down. With DPS nowadays, you can actually kill her extremely quickly. So heroic mode would definitely help here.

    Also, as a ret, it's pretty simple to grab aggro first and you don't even need to pop all your CD's. Just activate righteous fury until you get bitten. Let the tanks know this of course. =) I do this all the time simply to make sure I'm the first bitten so I can do massive DPS!
