**Tip:** Cleanse Toxic Spew before Bloodthorn Roots
## Timed with at least two minutes in hand while the key asked for more healing per second than 95% of the corpus, so the A- is a floor.
This was the best key of the night and it was not close. You timed The Blinding Vale +14 in 26:30, and Arbiter can only bound this dungeon's par to 28:37-33:14 -- so the run came in at least two minutes under the earliest the timer could possibly have expired. Two players died all key.
The number to understand is throughput. It says you covered 86% of the 209,446,758 damage that needed an outside heal -- that is damage left after removing what players covered themselves, what was absorbed, and overkill. On its own that is high. What matters more is the note attached to it: this key asked 133,516 healing per second, past the 130,287 that is the 95th percentile of the 55 keys the scale was cut from, against a median of 90,211. Once a key asks for more than any healer on record has covered, the scale stops being a fair measure of you, so read 95 as a floor rather than a ceiling.
The one place the key genuinely leaked is dispels: 16 of the 33 damaging dispellable debuffs that landed stayed up, and they did 12,156,256 damage.
**What to change**
1. Nothing to change on healing output -- throughput and response were both at or near the top of what the scale can read, on a key harder than 95% of the corpus.
2. Bring the interrupt number to the group rather than treating it as yours: 42 of 97 Seed Shots and 12 of 34 Light Bolts got through, and the second of those killed you.
3. On the three dispels that were actually reachable, take Toxic Spew first -- it cost 823,608 per instance left up against Bloodthorn Roots' 605,009.
4. Spend Holy Power before generating at cap; 19% of what you made was discarded.
