The Master of Pets is randomly available in Suramar (52.00, 54.83), only visible if you've unlocked World Quests, AND have reached honored with [faction=1859], AND have completed the "Blood and Wine" storyline for Good Suramaritan (reports that this req has changed, currently unknown new req). Rewards will vary.

Aulier will have the following team (all level 25 epic):

1. [npc=105260]
flying
[pet-ability=184]
[pet-ability=404]
[pet-ability=776]
2. [npc=105261]
magic
[pet-ability=473]
[pet-ability=475]
[pet-ability=794]
3. [npc=105262]
aquatic
[pet-ability=513]
[pet-ability=419]
[pet-ability=230]




Aulier is part of Family Familiar
(Use the Spoiler tags to view the strats as they're developed/linked.)


Aquatic: Aquatic Acquiescence

  • Team: [npc=82045] (1,1,2) | [npc=70098] (2,2,2) | [npc=98128] (1,1,2) (alts)

  • Team: [npc=82045] (1,1,2) | [npc=18839] (1,1,2) | A Penguin (1,2,1)

Both options have +/- for RNG.


Beast: Best of the Beasts

  • Team: [npc=53884] (1,1,2) | [npc=69796] (just [pet-ability=919]) (alt) | [npc=73364] (1,1,2) (alt?)

Critter: Mousing Around

  • Team: [npc=111158] (1,1,2) (alt) | [npc=51635] (1,1,1) (alts) | [npc=23258] (2,1,2) (alt)

Dragonkin: Dragons!
- A lot of people have mentioned [npc=68845] (1,2,2), but Rikade details the play-by-play (here). Bring 2 Dragonkin backups!


Elemental: Ragnaros, Watch and Learn

  • Team: [npc=71018] (1,2,1) (alt) | [npc=25706] (2,2,1) (alts: 1, 2) | [npc=26119] (2,1,2)
    Strategy: here | Credit: Myzou


*[npc=105262] & [pet-ability=513] will make most Elemental strategies subject to RNG, but this is a very standard set of Elementals with counters to Aulier's teammates' pet families.


Flying: Flock Together

  • Team: [npc=63098] (2,2,1) (alt: [npc=67443] (2,2,2)) | [npc=81431] (2,2,2) | 3rd Flying (can use to level)
    Strategy: here | Credit: Rikade



Humanoid: Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!

  • Team: [npc=68659] (1,1,2) | [npc=73741] (1,1,1) | [npc=62555] (1,2,1)

Some RNG if the stun procs from [pet-ability=814], which is 25%.


Magic: Master of Magic
- Team: [npc=98238] (1,2,1) (alts) | [npc=23231] (1,2,2) | [npc=61877] (1,2,1) (mine was B/B)
Willy vs. Conviction gets pretty close, but Willy pulled through in all my attempts.

Spoiler
vs. Beauty
[pet-ability=421] -> [pet-ability=589] -> [pet-ability=421] until [pet-ability=593] will kill

vs. Conviction - PASS during [pet-ability=794]
Any/Die -> Bring in Willy
[pet-ability=476] -> [pet-ability=475] -> [pet-ability=228] until Conviction dies (~2)

vs. Dignity
[pet-ability=228] until Willy dies (~3) -> Bring in Jade Owl
[pet-ability=521] -> [pet-ability=170] -> [pet-ability=420]



Mechanical: Roboteer

Undead: The Lil' Necromancer (TBD)
- I ran out of attempts on this fight. Users have posted strategies here and here and here - but they have not received much feedback yet.

Easy fight with this trio for The Lil' Necromancer:

Restless Shadeling (2, 1, 1)
Scourged Whelpling (2, 2, 1)**
Blighthawk (2, 1, 1)

I began with Restless Shadeling against Beauty. I used Plagued Blood then spammed Arcane Blast until Beauty died.

My Shadeling was on its undead round when Conviction came in. I brought in my Scourged Whelpling and spammed Tail Sweep.

*Note 1 -When it is one round away from death, Conviction will use its Dark Rebirth ability. This took me by surprise, but I had no trouble DPSing it down from this point. Alternatively you can pass this round and kill it on the next round.

**Note 2 - I did not try using Call Darkness to get rid of the Sunlight buff from Beauty, but that is also an option.

With my strat, my Shadeling was on its undead round when Dignity came in. I used Death and Decay that round just to do something.

At this point, Dignity did something really nice. It set the weather to Cleansing Rain. I really appreciated that, because my Blighthawk does Aquatic damage, so I got a free damage boost!

I did one round of Slicing Wind, then used Lift-Off to dodge the Whirlpool. That attack landed a critical for me, which killed Dignity; even if it had not landed a crit, another Slicing Wind would've finished it off.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I just defeated him for the Dragons! achievement using the following team. I didn't have to use the third pet but his second (Conviction) was very RNG in my fights so I had it for backup.

Celestial Dragon 25 Rare H/H (1 2 1)
Emerald Proto-Whelp 25 Rare P/P (2 2 2)
Sprite Darter Hatchling 25 Rare S/S (1 1 1)

Beauty:
Celestial Moonfire
Celestial Arcane Storm
Celestial Flamethrower
Celestial Flamethrower
Celestial Flamethrower
Celestial Arcane Storm
Celestial Moonfire (Beauty dies)
If not then:
Celestial Flamethrower (Beauty dies)

Conviction:
Celestial Flamethrower (Celestial dies)
Proto Emerald Presence
Proto Emerald Dream
Proto Emerald Bite
It gets messy here:

If Conviction uses Dark Rebirth then use a refresh (or two) of Presence or Dream until it loses the buff.

If it doesn't have the buff then Bite and it will cast Dark Rebirth at this point. Then just see above and kill it when the buff is gone.

Dignity:
The Proto-Whelp can hang on for ages and I was able to survive through the third opponent by keeping Presence up with Bite whenever possible and using Dream when I was between 650 and 700HP to eat the whirlpools.

If you get bored of this strategy then just bring out the Darter (or whatever you went with) for faster damage.

I hope this helps.
