Itâs his ability to suck blood from you to get his health up, like the âLife Stealâ spell which the warlocks have but more powerful. In fact, thatâs exactly how he was in ZulâGurub but yeah itâs not really that good for low levels because it just put your health to 1 and then you die easily.
The problem here is not the mini-boss but the way lower levels are scaled in the pre-patch event.
Fly in sit on the edge of either the tall rock or the yellow structure⌠You donât need to attack bosses to get XP and loot, and being low level you would be doing nothing anyways

If you missed XP it means itâll take you 7 minutes to level instead of 5. Oh no.
Go do a different event, you have a choice.

Actually, you donât. You do the event that everyone is doing. Or youâre just wasting your time. Being low level, itâs painfully slow to do these by yourself and the bosses are unkillable alone (maybe if youâre a tank, I didnât try).

His Life Steal ability will still hit you even if youâre in the area and you didnât lay a finger on him. Heck, I once was on the border between Hakkar and the objective next to him and it still got me.

You can avoid the damage from the life siphon ability by getting the debuff from the pools, I think they spawn when you kill one of the adds.

It looks like they changed it. Doing something vs doing nothing and stay mounted. When i lvled warrior i got mad that most ppl are soloing everything and dont look at others and i died a few times. Later i picked shaman and choose gear upgrade and restoration spec and went there as a healer. Felt good. Lvled from 38 to 70 in a few hours. Now i am doing the same as a holy priest. With this one i died first i got angel mode and then i died. I went back to boss and i wanted to get back to life just before boss should die but he dissappeared. But it feels good to do the event as a healer and giving support at everyone. Also some mobs does huge damage. And doing nothing is boring. Further i really like the event. Nice free loot and lvling has the best rate i every had in wow. Max lvl in a few hours. I like it. Wish it was always this fast. Except for the first character in an expansion.
Yup but you wonât get the Dot⌠So you wont die
No, youâll wonât die because you will still have 1 hp left. 
It happened to me more than once.
Hogger is the one with bad design, people donât realise you need to do his quests to debuff him, but I tried on my low level and those quests are not worth doing. So it is easier to kill him with his dmg reduction buff.

They lowered his health along with all the other mini and big bosses. It doesnât matter if you do the âquestsâ or not.

I got âchain-charmedâ by Hakaar. Literally 9-10 charms in a row, with no chance to do anything in between them. Mega annoying.

Indeed. Either the sub-quests need to be faster to be completed, or the damage reduction buff on him needs to be buffed to 90%+. Right now itâs optimal to ignore the additional requirements.
Technically you need to poison yourself by standing on green venomous puddle he occasional creates at the ground, not too early just before he starts draining your HP, so instead he will drain poison out you and wonât heal from it.

Like the atal Dazzar priestess
Seeing many players are unable to step out of his pbaoe fear effect for a second ,doing the quests seem a minor issue - the fear effect lasts longer and sometimes resets the fight if Hogger is to far away from his spawnpoint.
