**Tip:** Stay out of Flaming Barrage

## Timed with the lowest damage of the night, and the highest interrupt count you have ever posted.

B-, and the grade is almost entirely one number: 160,816 damage a second, which is 91% of what the other two damage dealers averaged. That is your weakest damage key of the evening and the only one where you were below the rest of the group. Everything else in this run was good to excellent.

**What to change**

1. Stay out of Flaming Barrage - it was the only avoidable thing that touched you all key.

## Notes

### What you did well

**26 interrupts against the 15 the fight called for.** That is 173% of expectation and the best rate of the four keys. The party as a whole only stopped 75% of what it could physically reach, so you were doing more than your share of the covering.

**Almost nothing avoidable hit you.** 1% of the damage you took was damage that comparable players in the same fight did not take. That number is as close to clean as it gets.

### The one thing that cost you

You died at 7:30 to **Flaming Barrage**. In this scoring a death costs the run 15 seconds off the timer at this key level, and it takes your survival score from 100 to 72 - that alone is about 5 points of your final grade.

The damage figure is worth reading with the route in mind rather than as a verdict on your play: Ruby Life Pools is a small-pull dungeon and your damage swings hard with how much the group gathers.

### The rotation change

This was the first night with the button prompt showing three icons instead of one. The thing it was meant to fix moved: your Judgment / Hammer of Wrath key went from 6.1 presses a minute across the nine keys before it to 7.2 across these four. Before, only 2 of 9 keys reached 6.9 or better. Here it was all four. Nothing else got worse to pay for it - your total presses per minute, your empty globals and your wasted Holy Power all landed where they normally do.

## 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.
