Lei Shi

Lei Shi is the third boss in Terrace of Endless Spring. She is a sha-corrupted water elemental who will help players with the final battle with the Sha of Fear after being freed from corruption. The fight involves challenging tank swap mechanics and strong adds that revive periodically. Once the sha is defeated, her image appears on the main platform.

She spawns by defeating the Corrupted Protectors, she ripples nervously upon their defeat, after the player causes AOE damage it will make her ripple to the point it becomes fully visible.

Adventure Guide
''For countless years, this friendly water spirit frolicked in the Fountains of Endless Spring with childlike wonder and glee. When fighting suddenly broke out in this peaceful place, Lei Shi saw the crystal-clear water turn cloudy and murky, and terror fell over her mind.''

Strategy
Position the raid in a triangle, with one tank on one corner, the second tank on another corner and the remainder of the raid on the third corner (similar to the positioning for Phase 2 of Beth'tilac in the Firelands). The aim of this positioning is to have only the active tank affected by Spray. The two tanks will regularly need to taunt off each other to prevent Spray from stacking too high.

When Lei Shi casts Protect (at 80%, 60%, 40% and 20%), perform a tank switch, and have the off-tank pick up the s (Lei Shi continues to cast Spray while the Protectors are up). The raid leader should mark one Protector to be focused down, and any remaining Protectors can be crowd controlled to reduce damage. The raid must aim to kill the marked Protector before the main tank has too many stacks of Spray (the off-tank can not taunt the boss at this time as the damage from the Protectors and the boss's Spray will be too intense).

When Lei Shi casts Get Away, the raid must move forward towards the boss while attempting to take 4% health off (which will stop the channel). Raid members who do not move forward will take increased damage; however, any abilities with a cast time cannot be used while moving forward (unless class-specific abilities that allow this are used). Both defensive and offensive cooldowns should be used in order to survive more easily and end the Get Away cast as quickly as possible.

When Lei Shi casts Hide, DPS needs to spread out and find her. A player close enough to Lei Shi's location will see visual clues as to her whereabouts (clouds, sparks, water splashes, etc.). Once found, players need to spam AoE abilities in this location to break Hide.

Spray is not cast during Get Away and Hide phases.

The encounter has a strict enrage timer, so Lei Shi's abilities that make her unattackable (Protect, Get Away, Hide) need to be dealt with swiftly. This encounter can be considered to be the raid instance's gear check.

Bloodlust/Heroism/Time Warp should be popped after the Protector wave at 20% is dealt with. Lei Shi gains 8% haste for every 10% damage dealt to her (which makes Spray more and more problematic), so the last 20% needs to be burned as quickly as possible.
