> **AI-WRITTEN ANALYSIS** — The numbers come from the combat log. The verdict and notes were written by an AI reading them, and can be wrong in ways the numbers cannot. Written by Claude (Opus 5), from the combat log.
**Why it failed:** Wrong target: Ritual Chieftain left alive, totem 19% (group); Lack of interrupts: Piercing Hiss leaked 5 of 12 (group)
## One pull, two wipes: the party lost four players at 1:11, returned into a fight that had never reset, and lost six more — and when the last one died the pack was 75% dead with three mobs under 12%.
The key ran 2:21 and contained exactly one pull. The group engaged eleven mobs at 0:20 — four Ravenous Descendants, five Primal Serpents, a Ritual Chieftain and a Twinfang Harrower — and killed one of them. Eleven deaths followed in fifty-nine seconds, and the log stops with nobody having re-entered combat.
It was much closer than the grades suggest. The pack held 95.9M health between the eleven; the group removed 72.3M of it. When the last player died a Primal Serpent was on 87,213 health — 1.2% — and two Ravenous Descendants were on 10.8% and 11.5%. Fourteen more seconds at the output the group was already producing at 0:40 would have cleared three of the eleven and broken the pull.
Those seconds went on the run-back instead. Four players were down at 1:11; the tank held alone for thirty-one seconds while the others released and returned one at a time into a fight nothing had reset, and six more deaths followed. Party output fell from 17.4M per ten seconds at its peak to 3.0M, and the pack moved from 28% remaining to 25% across the whole second half.
Hyporock's D is an artifact of two things, and the healing is neither of them. The party took 363k damage a second — twice the 183k/s of the Altar of Fangs +11 that timed three hours earlier the same night — and the `response` axis was broken on a key this short. Last two sections.
**What to change**
1. Kill the Ritual Chieftain. Its Unstable Totem is instant, unkickable, and did 19% of all damage taken in the key from a single cast at 0:25; it stops when the Chieftain does, and the Chieftain finished on 5.5M — about eight seconds of the group's peak output.
2. Kick Piercing Hiss. Five of twelve got through for 5.9M, and it landed five of the eleven killing blows, including both of Hyporock's deaths.
3. On a wipe, release together and come back together. Six of the eleven deaths were players arriving alone into a pack of ten while the tank was still holding it; they cost 30 seconds of timer and moved the pack three percentage points.
4. If the pull is going badly, finish something. Three mobs were under 12% when the last player died and a Primal Serpent was on 1.2%; every one that dies removes its own Piercing Hiss and Fetid Spit from the rest of the fight.
