> **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 and the archive.
**Why it failed:** Wrong target: Thundercloud summoners never killed (group); Overpull: kept adding packs, 9 to 22 mobs (Prot Paladin)
**Tip:** Divine Protection before you drop, not at the last second
## You healed more than you ever have in this dungeon; the group lost it by pouring 13% of its damage into shielded adds and never killing the two things summoning them.
The deaths were not yours. Across seven Ruby Life Pools runs on record this is the hardest by a distance — 160,535 of healing needed per second against a previous worst of 115,684 — and it is also the most healing you have ever done here: 139,447 HPS, 18% above your own best, which was the A you took on the +12 six days ago. Your throughput score still fell to 63, because that axis is a share of demand rather than a rate, and demand grew faster than any healer's output could.
What killed the group was target priority. From 21:40 the party was fighting two summoners it never killed, and 45 Primal Thunderclouds arrived carrying roughly three million points of absorb each. Those shields swallowed 136,686,788 of the party's damage — 13.3% of everything the five of you dealt all key. High Channeler Ryvati finished the run alive at 65% health, having shielded itself four times; every shield ran its full 15 seconds and then landed on every living player. Eight of the nine deaths followed one of those payloads within seconds.
You have two things to answer for and both are small: a Divine Protection you asked for twice and never got out before the 14:25 death, and the lowest response score of your seven runs here. Neither is a wipe.
**What to change**
1. Nothing to change on output. 139,447 HPS is the most you have healed in this dungeon and 18% above your own best here; throughput fell because demand rose 39%, not because you did.
2. Get Divine Protection out earlier. It was refused twice in the four seconds before the 14:25 death and never asked for again once the global cleared.
3. For the group, on the storm gauntlet: kill the Tempest Channeler and High Channeler Ryvati first. They summon the Thunderclouds, whose shields ate 13.3% of everything the party dealt all key.
4. Havoc DH and Demo Lock: 8.8% of your damage went into Ryvati while its shield was up. It runs fifteen seconds and then lands on all five of you.
5. Prot Paladin: the live enemy count went 9 to 22 between 21:40 and 22:00 and never came back down. That is the signal to stop adding packs, not the damage taken.
6. Enh Shaman said in chat that this was not the healer's fault. The log agrees with Enh Shaman.
