Rasha'nan in DawnbreakerArathi BombsHeartline RedditHow to Optimize Rasha'nan Health BreakpointsThrow the 6th and final Arathi Bombs as close to a .8% health value on Rasha'nan without being over.Why?Rasha'nan's health in Phase 1 of Dawnbreaker only "reduces" at whole number breakpoints (i.e. 65.0%, 64.0%, 63.0%, 62.0%, etc.)

Accounting for the final bomb this threshold becomes .8% breakpoints (i.e. 70.8%, 69.8%, 68.8%, 67.8%, etc.)

completely wasted damagewithout 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.

BlaringMailer's researchWith Phase 2 starting right when the final bomb impacts, this means that if the boss starts Phase 2 at:

64.5%, then the boss will die at 59.5% (5% total damage in P2)
63.9%, then the boss will die at 59.9% (4% total damage in P2)
63.2%, then the boss will die at 59.2% (4% total damage in P2)
62.9%, then the boss will die at 59.9% (3% total damage in P2)

Comment by RevorafWhat a terrible desing from Blizzard
it's a bug
Fix itComment by BrainardStop trying to min-max 1% hp, that it gone so far with competent people. If you do use CDs on the 1st phase then that is on you for playing poorly UNLESS you know your CDs will be back when you land.Comment by pghcrewIf this benefited players it would be hotfixed quickly. So we know they can fix this so it's not some weird scenario where you lose damage from phasing, so for once show us you care about players and actually fix this quickly.Comment by immort4lcant wait to deplete my pug dawnbreakers because a dps in the group let a barrel explode in his hands because he read a wowhead articleComment by JuniperxdWhat a terrible desing from Blizzard
it's a bug
Fix itComment by astleyt07wow people are really really bad at math. 1% of the bosses health is 1/5.2% of the total damage required on the fight. 1% is 20% of the bosses health. Why are you acting like its 1% and doesnt matter?Comment by 7upyourzWhy did they do it this way? just make her end the fight at 60.00%, make damage in phase 1 more relevant and not weird like it is currently.Comment by k4neOfftopic:

Did they nerf the vault ?
Past week i only did Delves (as usual) and this week in my vault it is only Delves pieces (so very trash like a 2H Sword with Int/Stam for my HOLY paladin).

Past weeks i managed to get raid items everytime :(Comment by EmernoOfftopic:

Getting punished with a longer P2 because you didnt throw the last bomb at the ''right'' time while its not at all indicated in game what the right time actually is. You need to read up on an obscure article like this and also have an addon to show the exact decimal point % left on the boss to actually do it the ''right'' way.
Wouldnt really matter if m+ wasn't a thing but it is and every second counts there so losing what seems like quite a bit of time on a longer P2 could make or break a key.Comment by NiccoloMSimplest solution: be the one who throws the last bomb.
Unless you’re the rank, of course.

Don’t come saying “What about my dps?11!”Comment by Naw123WHAT!

Can't they just make a normal fight? This boss on a M6 took us 5:45 to kill on FORT WEEK.

It's so dumb.

And before you say it, we went +2 on the key. Our damage was not the issue.Comment by FuryXHDYea when i first heard this....i was like...really...why?
I hope Blizz does fix this, its clearly some bad interaction/timing, and yes it does add up in the end as the key gets higher, but cbf. The first part is the hardest part on this boss, if you get marked for wave / and holding a bomb....it hurts like hell. Good luck getting melee to help as well, ive seen even the ones near meleee they ignore.Comment by AniseNo one does the intermission as intended because if they're like me, the dungeon is bugged and the orbs never spawn. So it's either land at the priest immediately after takeoff or die and piss off the rest of the group. Excellent concept for a dungeon, unfortunately it's like Siege and is just absolutely a bug filled mess. Had multiple keys brick because of some stupid bug. And not the kind you're supposed to be killing.Comment by cassadyOfftopic:
