Portal Jockey (25 player)
Enter every portal spawned by Valithria Dreamwalker before healing her to full health in 25-player mode.
Portal Jockey (25 player) requires that every Nightmare Portal spawned by Valithria Dreamwalker is entered by someone before she is healed to full health, and the achievement is awarded to the entire raid or no one.
Understand the Portal Mechanic
There are 8 Nightmare Portals that spawn during the Valithria Dreamwalker encounter in 25-player mode. Every single portal must be entered by a player each time portals spawn — if even one despawns on its own without being entered, the entire raid fails the achievement.
Assign Portal Duties
Assign your main healers (such as Holy Paladins and Disc Priests) to take a portal every phase to maintain their stacking buff, and pair them with 3 DPS and 2 raid healers per phase, alternating which raid healers enter based on their current mana pools.
Manage Outside Raid Pressure
With roughly one third of the raid inside portals during each 30-second lockout phase, the players remaining outside must handle adds and raid healing, so coordinate carefully to prevent the encounter from collapsing while portals are being claimed.
Do Not Rush the Heal
Avoid healing Valithria Dreamwalker to full health too quickly — if she reaches full health before all portals in a given phase have been entered, the achievement will not be awarded, so pace the healing to allow every portal to be claimed first.
Tips
See the video guides for a visual walkthrough of portal assignments and outside raid management during this encounter.
If running this at max level on a non-healing class, a high-damage ability or burst cooldown can heal Valithria to full before any portals spawn, which also satisfies the achievement since no portals will have had a chance to despawn on their own.
