Hateful Strike threat requirments

I see a lot of good information in this thread. Certainly not a "lot of misinformation". Dunno why you don't see the value in lowering your hitpoints on this fight if you are melee dps, but it's not a stupid idea.

It's unecessary at a certain gear level, but it'll help at earlier gear levels and it certainly doesn't hurt anything.

In the event of tank death or 2 tanking the fight on heroic, it's better for melee to get one-shot than for their low health to force a tank death.

If melee get in the slime or purposely lower their health, it could cause the remaining OT to die, quickly spiraling into a total wipe. Alternatively, if the melee DPS with 22-23k+ health start eating hatefuls, the fight can be extended by a very long time, assuming appropriate healing.


In other words, it can hurt and will never help.
