Diurna
Strategy Guide
Two phase fight. In P1 you fight Diurna and deal with regular waves of multiple different adds that spawn in groups.
In P1, split your raid in 2. One group deals with the boss and destroys the eggs. One group deals with the regular waves of adds. Keep the boss and the adds far away from each other.
In P1, constantly move Diurna near new eggs and use the beams of her staff to destroy them. When all eggs have been destroyed, or after 5 minutes, P2 starts.
In P2, adds stop spawning. There's only Diurna left and she deals increasing damage. Diurna cannot die until all eggs have been destroyed.
In P1, breaking an egg inflicts a burst of damage to the raid and applies a 10 second 200% vulnerability to this burst. Don't burst more than 3 eggs at a time.
In P1, the Wildfire debuff on players now also gives stacks to nearby players. Make sure to spread! In P2 she casts 2 Wildfires back to back, dodge twice.
Most adds gain an extra ability. You can read through them below.
Groups of adds constantly spawn and need to be killed. Keep them 50yd away from Diurna and split your raid in 2 groups. One group deals with the boss while the other deals with adds.
Use the staff from the boss to destroy the eggs in the room. When all eggs have been destroyed, or after 5 minutes, P2 starts.
EVERYONE
LOCATE AND DESTROY THE
HATCHING EGGS TO AVOID
DEALING WITH ADDITIONAL ADDS.
Regularly, the 2 eggs closest to the boss are marked and will hatch after 15s if not destroyed, spawning a Nascent Proto-Dragon that just auto-attacks its target.
Destroy the hatching eggs to avoid having to with deal this add.
This add is different from the others that spawn regularly in waves.
EVERYONE
USE THE BUTTON TO DESTROY
EGGS WITH THE BEAMS.
PRIORITY ON HATCHING EGGS.
After each Rapid Incubation, Diurna plants her staff into the ground and gains 2 stacks of a 10% damage done buff.
Players can use an extra action button when next to the staff on the ground. Using the button will cause a beam to follow that player, dealing damage to anyone hit and destroying any eggs in its path. 1 stack is removed on the boss per use.
When an egg is destroyed, the boss deals a burst of raid damage and inflicts 200% more damage on the same burst for 10s. Don't destroy more than 3 eggs at a time.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE SWIRLS.
ON HEROIC, SPREAD
OUT BEFORE.
Marks all players with a circle that will drop a swirl at their feet and apply a DoT. Being too close to another player will give both players 2 DoT stacks.
The swirl will explode after a delay.
EVERYONE
SPREAD WHEN TARGETED
BY THE DEBUFF.
Cast by the Drakonid Stormbringer
Several players are marked and deal pulsing damage around them for 8s.
EVERYONE
THE TURNING FIRE BEAM
IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A BUFF.
Cast by the Dragonspawn Flamebender
spawns a rotating beam at multiple players' feet that deals damage to anyone hit.
EVERYONE
BABY DRAGON GOING
CRAZY IS OKAY. IT JUST
DEALS DAMAGE AND SLOWS.
Cast by the Juvenile Frost Proto-Dragon (different from the baby dragon spawned from hatched eggs).
Deals damage every 1s for 6s to players within 50yd and slows them by 10%.
When Diurna plants her staff into the ground, after each Rapid incubation, the staff deals pulsing raid damage.
The boss has a 50yd aura which buffs the damage of nearby adds by 50%, gives them a 25% damage reduction, and heals them. Keep the boss and the adds far away from each other.
Split your raid into 2 groups. 1 tank, a few healers, and dps deal with the boss and destroy the eggs. The other half deals with the regular groups of adds that spawn in corners of the room.
Players within 50yd of the boss take 10% more damage.
Players more than 50yd away from the boss move 15% faster.

RESOURCES
A general WeakAura pack that provides "icon" style mechanics/debuff as well as short descriptions for each. Pretty standard. We also recommend downloading Causese Sound addon to hear vocal announcements. Feel free to thank the amazing Causese here (sorry, no Twitter that I know of).
Another must-have by Causese if you play or are planning to play tank. It informs you when to taunt and how your co-tank is doing with their mechanics.
Make sure to checkout the Causese Sound addon to also pair it with appropriate sound announcements.
