Rasha'nan Health Breakpoints in Dawnbreaker - Don't Waste Lust and Cooldowns
wowhead.comHeartline has discovered how Rasha'nan's health works in Dawnbreaker and there are specific breakpoints that you want to hit!
We explain why you should always Lust phase 2 and what health percentage you should throw the final Arathi Bomb to ensure the second phase is as short as possible!
Rasha'nan in Dawnbreaker
As a brief overview of the Rasha'nan encounter, there are two phases. She will leave Phase 1 and fly away after 6 Arathi Bombs have been thrown. After a brief intermission (that no one does as intended), she lands at Phase 2 then dies sometime after 60% health.
This «after 60% health» has confused a lot of players as sometimes she dies at 59.9% and sometimes at 59.1%. Why is this? Reddit user Heartline has made a large post on Reddit which goes over their findings!
How to Optimize Rasha'nan Health Breakpoints
Trying to explain this can be complicated, so we'll taking out a lot of the why and putting in how to benefit from this to start.
Why?
Here's the why.
- Accounting for the final bomb this threshold becomes .8% breakpoints (i.e. 70.8%, 69.8%, 68.8%, 67.8%, etc.)
When accounting for all 6 of the Arathi Bombs, this would leave Rasha'nan's health pool at 65.2% as each bomb does 5.8%. With Phase 1 ending when the final bomb impacts, any damage that occurs after you reach a breakpoint before the next one is completely wasted damage. For the final bomb, this means that you want to throw the final bomb as close to a .8% threshold as possible without being over.
- If you throw the bomb at 68.7%, you will only need to 3.0% in the final phase.
- If you throw the final bomb at 68.9%, you will actually need to 4.0% health in the final phase.
If you're close to the next health breakpoint, you will want to hold the
