    Tanks
    Hold Maladaar; when the Avatar appears, pick it up.
    Healers
    Fear scatters the group; heal through the stolen soul's attacks.
    Damage dealers
    Kill the stolen soul quickly, then the boss; kill or control the Avatar at the end.

Before you go

  • Keep summoned spirits under control rather than rushing the narrow bridge pulls.
  • Discuss the healer's position before Shirrak so the tank does not pull him out of reach.
  • No Normal key. Heroic requires the Auchenai Key and level 70.
