Azuregos Guide: Strategy, Abilities, Loot

Last updated Yesterday at 15:56 by Abide 1 comment

Azuregos is a Blue Dragon world boss who can be found in the Azshara zone. Because of his origins, he is also Arcane immune and highly Frost resistant. While his respawn is random and measured in days, you can often kill him multiple times in a single reset.

If you manage to kill him, keep an eye out for some of his best in slot loot, such as Puissant Cape Icon Puissant Cape and Crystal Adorned Crown Icon Crystal Adorned Crown.

Azuregos Season of Discovery Loot

In Season of Discovery, players will be rewarded with new and improved loot with improved stats compared to their previous, older version. Check out all of the loot available in this raid down below.

In addition to the new and improved loot, players will be able to fight Azuregos in an instanced area, rather than being contested in the open world by other players. This is especially handy as Azuregos has been adjusted to only require 20-players to safely secure a kill, allowing you to split your raid groups up for even more rewards!

Azuregos Summary by Role

2.1.

Tanks

  • A single tank is enough for Azuregos.
  • Turn him away from the raid due to his breath and cleave attacks.
  • Positioning is key. You want to get Azuregos to an open area that allows the rest of the raid to dodge his Manastorm IconManastorm ability.
  • Every so often he will teleport all hostile players within 30 yards on top of him. This is an aggro reset, so make sure to have plenty of Rage saved up to instantly get on top of the threat table again.
2.2.

Healers

  • Dodge Manastorm IconManastorm, do not stand in front of Azuregos, and run away from the boss whenever you are pulled in.
2.3.

DPS

  • Dodge Manastorm IconManastorm, do not stand in front of Azuregos, and run away from the boss whenever you are pulled in.

Important Abilities

Azuregos
  • Manastorm IconManastorm is a Blizzard Icon Blizzard-esque ability that will shower large areas around Azuregos. Stay away from it, as it will drain both your health and your Mana!
  • Teleport IconTeleport is cast every so often and teleports all players within 30 yards of Azuregos on top of him, causing them to be more vulnerable to Manastorms, Cleaves and Breaths. Run away in a random direction if you are pulled in.
  • Mark of Frost IconMark of Frost will debuff anyone who dies in the encounter and causes these players to become frozen for 15 minutes if they go near Azuregos. This is meant to prevent players from running to their corpse and continually re-join the fight.

Strategy for Azuregos

Azuregos is a relatively simple fight and can be killed by a small raid, provided you react to his mechanics properly. However, if you fail and have deaths, those people will not be able to re-join the fight for 15 minutes, due to Mark of Frost IconMark of Frost, which can easily cause other groups to take over the tag and steal the kill.

Because of his relatively low damage output and no enrage timer, it is possible to tag him as soon as he spawns and stay alive with just a tank and a handful of healers while the rest of your raid group flies to Azshara and joins the fight.

Remember to stop DPS whenever Teleport IconTeleport is cast, as having the main tank lose aggro is one of the few things that can cause a wipe. Other than that, simply dodge Manastorm IconManastorm, deal steady DPS, and victory will be yours soon enough.
