Overview
Portal Keeper Hasabel is an encounter where in addition to the main boss platform you have three accessible portals where mini bosses will spawn at set boss health values. After each mini boss, the encounter becomes more difficult, making the last phase the most damage intensive.Heroic Changes
- This fight does not contain Heroic specific mechanics, however a general increase in difficulty should be expected.
Strategy and Positioning
- The strategy and positioning section will be broken into four parts, based on which platform you are assigned to when the mini bosses spawn.
Nexus (Main Boss):
- One tank, most of the healers, and strong aoe dps should stay on this platform when mini bosses spawn.
- The boss should be tanked at the edge of the platform, and should be moved to the opposite side during Collapsing World.
- Transport Portal will spawn three types of adds depending on which phase the boss is in
- Phase 1: Felblaze Imps should be grouped and interrupted while killing them.
- Phase 2: In addition to the Imps, Feltouched Skitterers will spawn which immobilize random targets. Hard crowd control, such as a stun, will interrupt this ability.
- Phase 3: In addition to the Imps, and Skitterers, Hungering Stalkers will spawn. Interrupt their Howling Shadows cast, because it will deal a large amount of raid wide damage and interrupt players otherwise.
- Phase 1: Felblaze Imps should be grouped and interrupted while killing them.
Xoroth (Orange, 90%):
- Composition: one tank, one healer, most of the single target dps.
- Interrupt Flames of Xoroth and Unstable Portal while killing the mini boss.
- Avoid standing in the fire zones.
- After killing the boss, an assigned player should pick up and orb by running into it, then taking it to the purple portal.
Rancora (Green, 60%):
- Composition: one tank, two healers, most of the single target dps.
- Stack under the mini boss to easily cleave the Felsilk Wrap when someone is trapped.
- Interrupt Unstable Portal.
Nathreza (Purple, 30%):
- The orange orb which was dropped near the purple portal should be picked up and taken to Nathreza before the mini boss appears.
- Composition: one tank, two healers, most of the single target dps.
- The raid should should stack near the orange orb while killing the mini boss
- The healers should delay dispelling Delusions to help them gain some mana back.
- Interrupt Unstable Portal.
- If you run into the orange orb by mistake, do not dispel it or use an immunity, because it will disappear.
Strategies by Role
Hopefully these strategies and tips in our Portal Keeper Hasabel guide will help you to defeat this encounter!All Roles
- Avoid standing in Collapsing World or Felstorm Barrage on the Nexus platform.
- The Felblaze Imps and Hungering Stalkers are affected by mass crowd control such as Gorefiend’s Grasp or Mind Bomb, which makes it easier to interrupt all of them at once.
- If you are rooted by Acidic Web in a Felstorm Barrage consider using a personal damage reduction cooldown to survive.
DPS
- Strong single target dps should be assigned to the Platforming group, while strong aoe dps should stay behind to deal with Transport Portal while the mini bosses are active.
Healers
- The group on the Nexus platform will take increasing periodic damage while a mini boss is active.
- When the tanks taunt swap the raid will take a burst of damage directly proportional to the number of Reality Tear stacks the tank has.
- After each mini boss is killed, the raid will take an additional amount of flat periodic damage.
Tanks
- Tank the boss at the edge of the platform, and taunt swap at about three stacks of Reality Tear.
- Tanks should taunt swap before going on the mini boss platform to reduce the number of stacks that build up.
