When Blizzard wants to prevent players from tracking specific boss mechanics with WeakAuras, they label them as ‘Private Auras’. While Aberrus had only 3 such abilities, the upcoming raid, Amirdrassil, features a staggering 20 Private Auras.
The WeakAuras crackdown seems to be real in Guardians of the Dream. As initially reported by Wowhead, the new 10.2 raid introduces a total of 20 Private Auras.
