> **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.
**Tip:** Lay on Hands yourself; it was up all key
## 175 million damage - 18.6% of everything the party swung for - was eaten by a shield that one Purge removes. It was purged once in 48 chances.
Timed by four minutes, which hides the largest single inefficiency in the archive. **18.3% of everything this party attempted was absorbed by shields on the enemies** - 210,493,716 damage, against a normal figure of around 2-3%. Nearly all of it is one shield on one add.
Both deaths came on the opening pull, and both are the same mistake. Ret Paladin died at 1:13 over **14.3 seconds** and Hyporock at 1:23 over 7.5 seconds, and neither pressed a defensive. This one is worth being precise about, because it is not a case of having nothing left: both of them had **Lay on Hands and Blessing of Protection available**, Forbearance was clear for both, and a fourteen-second death is not a spike you cannot react to. That pull cost 30 seconds of the timer and was still the right pull - 24 enemies, 4:03 of fighting, 79% of casts kicked.
Everything else was good. 104 of 112 reachable casts stopped, 5 of 5 dispels, and Doryhunky's best key of the night at B+ 84.
**What to change**
1. Everyone: stop AoEing the Primal Thunderclouds. 175 M of your damage went into shields that expire on their own - kill the Tempest Channeler and High Channeler Ryvati instead.
2. Resto Shaman: Stormcloud Barrier is purgeable and you proved it once. Four Purge casts in a key with 48 shields on the board is the cheapest damage increase available here.
3. Ret Paladin: you had Lay on Hands and Blessing of Protection available for all 14.3 seconds of your death and pressed neither all key. Most of what killed you was Physical, so Blessing of Protection alone would have covered it.
4. Hyporock: Lay on Hands was up and unused all key. Blessing of Protection would not have helped you here - your death was entirely Nature damage - so Lay on Hands was the button.
5. Resto Shaman: your last Wind Shear went out at 16:40 of a 23:54 key. Keep kicking through the back half.
6. Doryhunky: nothing to change - mitigation 96 with 100% of the worst windows covered, and the most interrupt stops of anyone. Best key of your night.
