Auriaya without destroying her Sanctum Sentries
="">



On normal difficulty Auriaya starts with 2 Sanctum Sentries (4 on
heroic), these Sentries have 3 major abilities:

 - Strength of the Pack, a stacking damage increase buff that
increases the damage done by the other Sentries when they are within 10
yards of each other

 - Savage Pounce, a charge ability that can only be used on
the main target and only if that target is out of melee range and in
line of sight. This ability does  initial physical damage and
then additional physical damage every 1 second for 5 seconds.

- Rip Flesh is an attack that leaves a DOT on the target that
will inflict Physical damage every 2 seconds for 20 seconds.
This  DOT can stack up to 100 times.



On normal, you will need to bring two tanks to this boss, while on
heroic you will need to bring 3. One tank should pick up Auriaya and
the other should quickly pick up the Sentries (on heroic the adds will
be split between the two OTs). Feral Defenders spawned during
this fight will be left to their own devices, so DPS is key. The tank
with the Sentries should do everything possible to avoid being feared.
A warrior tank is excellent at this. If the tank does get feared, the
Sentries will use Savage Pounce and there is a good chance the tank
will die. The tank with the Sentries will be receiving stacks of Rip
Flesh which will greatly increase the damage they are taking. When the
predetermined amount of stacks is reached, the tank tanking the adds
should taunt Auriaya while the tank who was once tanking the boss
should pick up the adds. On heroic, the MT will switch with OT with the
most stacks, OT1 will pick up the boss and allow their stacks to fall
off. As soon as the stacks are gone OT1 should proceed to taunt the
adds off of OT2 and OT2 should pick up Auriaya. This process should be
repeated as needed until the death of the boss. Healers should be ready
with extra heals to combat the extra amounts of damage going out here.

the Feral Defender while defeating Auriaya
="">



To prep for this achievement your raid will need to clear the trash
mobs on both the right and left side instead of just one pack. Trust
me, you will need the room. The Feral Defender will begin the fight
with 8 stacks of Feral Essence which will allow the Defender to revive
himself at the cost of 1 stack meaning that to gain this achievement
you will need to kill the Defender 9 times. The Feral Defender also
does a Feral Pounce to random targets who are out of melee range, doing
Shadow damage and stunning the target for 4 seconds. On top of this,
each time the Defender dies he will leave a Seeping Feral Essence void
zone on the floor, which means the entire raid will be forced to move
to various points in the room throughout the fight.



Keep in mind that only small amounts of DPS should be done to the
boss,  to much will result in Auriaya’s death before
the final death of the Defender. Since Auriaya has close to a 10 minute
enrage timer and the Defender takes roughly 30-45 seconds to respawn
between deaths it is very important that as soon as the Defender is up
all DPS switches and brings it down as quickly as possible. Once the
Defender dies, the raid will be forced to move to avoid the void zone
left Engage the boss and the Feral Defender will spawn after roughly 1
minute.  behind. Once again only small amounts of DPS should
be directed at the boss while waiting for the Defender to resurrect.
Repeat this process until the Defender dies the final time, then
proceed to finish off Auriaya who should be close to death at this
point. Give yourself a pat on the back for gaining yet another
achievement.
