Burn as many skeleton corpses as possible.

Everyone

Players who don't soak Hungering Pyre will get a DoT debuff, but on Heroic, this debuff will explode at the end. This explosion will destroy any corpses inside the circle.&nbsp; The tank soak will also cremate any corpses inside, so tanks should look to position it on some skeletons.
