> **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 5.5), from the combat log and the archive.

**Why it failed:** Wrong target: Magma Totems left alive, wipe at 1:03 (group); Lack of interrupts: Lava Bolt and Volley leaked, 54% kicked (group)

## The opening pull wiped at 1:03: Magma Totems were in all six deaths, and 30 of 65 kickable casts got through.

## Method

Each axis is scored 0 to 100 against what this run allowed, not against a fixed target. A player is only scored on things their spec can do. An axis that does not apply is left out and the other weights are scaled up. 100 means nothing was missed; a solid, even key usually lands near 75. Survival and mechanics carry no weight of their own: they start at 100 and take points off when something went wrong.
