Auriaya Boss Strategy
When you pull Auriaya you’ll need 1 tank holding Auriaya and 1 tank managing the adds. The raid should be pilled up with the adds and killing them as quickly as possible. Your main tank who has Auriaya will want to be around 20 yards away with the boss facing the raid. This is due to the sonic screech ability.
After the raid has killed the adds they can begin attacking the boss, ensuring that they are always standing in front of the boss (melee specifically). When the feral spirit spawns you off tank needs to pick him up. After you’ve killed the feral spirit he will drop a seeping feral essence, similar to a void zone…so don’t stand in it.
After you’ve killed the add you can begin attacking the boss again. Shortly the feral sprit will be resurrected and you’ll need to repeat the above steps. Continue dragging the boss around to provide drop areas for the seeping feral essence until you’ve killed the boss.
