Lord Hel'nurath

Dire Maul

West: demon prison

Finish the remaining pylon guardian packs before approaching Immol'thar. Clear the prison before starting an optional warlock ritual there; Lord Hel'nurath belongs to that summon, not an ordinary West clear. Groups without a ritual continue to the library after Immol'thar.

Elite DemonXorothian DreadsteedElite Demon

Lord Hel'nurath is an optional warlock-ritual summon whose healing-reduction curse and Sleep complicate controlling the Xorothian Dreadsteed at the same time.

Abilities

  • Knock Away

    Inflicts normal damage plus 30 to an enemy and knocks it back.

    Give the tank a cleared landing direction for Knock Away so the lord does not move the fight out of the prison's prepared area.

  • Shadow Word: Pain

    Utters a word of darkness, inflicting Shadow damage to an enemy every 3 sec. for 18 seconds.

    Remove Shadow Word: Pain as magic damage over time before it overlaps a healing-reduction curse on the same player.

  • Sleep

    Puts an enemy to sleep for up to 10 seconds. Any damage caused will awaken the target. Only one target can be asleep at a time.

    Remove Sleep as a magic effect, especially from a player controlling one of the ritual's attackers.

  • Veil of Shadow

    Reduces healing effects for an enemy by 75% for 8 seconds.

    Remove Veil of Shadow as a curse before spending repeated heals into its healing reduction.

Tank
Keep control of the Xorothian Dreadsteed when Hel'nurath joins and make sure the lord is collected before healing draws him away. Keep both attackers on cleared prison ground with a safe direction for Knock Away.
Healer
Have curse removal assigned for Veil of Shadow and magic removal available for Sleep and Shadow Word: Pain. Prioritize freeing the player who is controlling an attacker, then restore healing effectiveness on the wounded target.
Damage
Focus Hel'nurath while the Dreadsteed remains controlled. A player who can remove curses should clear Veil of Shadow promptly instead of leaving the healer to work against its reduction.
